8/11/24 Bethel
Set 1
After an explosive INNYLTB opener (thank god its back!), we immediately
dive into a fantastic 46 Days. 46 Days isnt dark tonight. Instead its
peaky and majestic. Pretty standard bliss rock but still great.
But then, hold on to your hats because we get a massive 19 minute
Gin!!!!!! Gin is total X Factor magic! Highly inspired, it quickly goes
into a terrific deep space psych area, very unique and strange. Somehow
they move from that into peak-bliss, raging like night 2s KDF before
swiftly moving, yet again, into a really killer, speed-funk section!!!
Following that, they burn the damn house down with the longest rage
explosion this side of the 12/30/23 Life Saving Gun!
Dude, this Gin is TERRIFIC!!! X FACTOR ALL OVER THIS BAD BOY!!!! Holy crap lets go!!!
Shows over, pack it up, nothing more to see here!!!!
And then....FIKUS. WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?! Dude! Wtf!!! And its not a tease - they actually play the whole song proper!!
Theme reaches epic heights tonight. Not quite must hear but there is definitely extra sauce all over! Sky high peakage!!!
Timber on the other hand, IS must hear!!! A slow burn face melter, this one just crushes.
Same goes for Human Nature. Man, this song just KILLS!!! PLEASE PLAY IT MORE!!! I BEG!!! GIVE ME THAT 30 MIN JAM LURKING WITHIN!!!
Limb By Limb is absolutely must hear as well. Total X Factor all over. Just an insane version!!
After an unexpected Axilla 1, the set rages to a close with an A+ Sigma.
All in all, I thought last nights first set was great, but this
was like one heavy hitter after another!!! A FANTASTIC ASS KICKING
SET!!!! THAT GIN!!! THAT LIMB!!! THAT FIKUS!!!
Id say Gin, Limb, Human, Fikus, Timber and possibly even Sigma are all MUST HEAR!!! 
WOW!
Set 2
The 2nd set opens with a perfectly played Buried Alive. Super refreshing! When was the last time it didnt open the show?!?!
Immediately after we get a massive, masterpiece of a jam - a 21 minute
ACDC Bag!!! Around the 10 minute mark it shifts into a crazy awesome
"screaming through outer space" section where Trey just builds on this
sick motif, loopers and synths abound. Eventually they slow it down for a
nice bliss rock section before the jam get dark and wacky. FX
everywhere. Gordo crushing. And they just blow our minds to its
conclusion.
Complete and utter X Factor Magic. A Mexico-tier jam. My god!
And PERFECTLY, they lead us out of the ashes of Bag and into a 16 minute Fuego! A+++ on set construction, boys!! Really good version if not essential. It does funky trop rock for a good long time before going "askew" and sliding to a close
The following Golden Age is total X Factor though!!! A terrific version,
this one gets pulled in 20 different directions. They jam the F out of
it! Must hear!!
After a short Simple interlude, LSG comes to kill. LSG is total X
Factor, going into a wonderful type 2 jam where Trey is going nuts with
delays atop Pages synths. Memories of 2021 for sure. Wicked must hear,
yo.
Harry Hood ends the set proper. Yet another terrific version, maybe a
hair below must hear, but definitely still an EXCELLENT Hood!!!
Nice encore of ALBTD into a hot SANTOS.
All in all, set 2 friggin crushed!!! Bag, Golden Age and LSG are all totally must hear with special mention to Fuego and Hood. This show was an absolute MONSTER!!! How crazy to think night 1 was even crazier!!!!!
On to Mondegreen!!!!
