Set 1
The show and run open with a very nice 13 minute Simple. Underwhelming
at first, it slowly builds a serious head of steam and positively
explodes in the back half. Excellent version worth a must hear!!
The following Free is supremely average. Nothing to say, good or bad. Skip!
Farmhouse, though placed terribly, is actually a gorgeous reading. Definitely worth a listen, itll take you by surprise!!!
Poor Heart comes along and wakes us back up. Page is SMASHING that piano
and the whole thing is simply nuclear!!! Must hear (for real!).
Tube keeps the energy going nicely. Nothing special in the slightest,
there are far worse songs to get a really "average" version of!!
KDF is good tonight. Red hot but nothing you havent heard before.
Great to see Driver entering proper rotation it seems. Good stuff. The
surprise hit of the set though is a terrific, must hear Reba!!! They
absolutely nail the composed sections and the solo is definitely more
inspired than usual (even if way too short). GRAB THAT!!!
The following Oblivion is disappointingly only 6 minutes, but holy hell
does Trey UNLEASH. Easily the best soloing of the night so far, dont
underestimate this version - it SMOKES!!!!
Antelope is Antelope. Great set ender. Grab it!
All in all, this was a good, if often underwhelming set. Got
better as it went on. Id say the opening Simple, Reba, Oblivion and
maybe Farmhouse are all must hear.
A good set, not a great one. Very loose around the edges.
Set 2
The opening stretch of set 2 is just horrific. BOTT is actually a
terrific type 1 reading, but this has ZERO merit reason to open the damn
2nd set.
Axilla is honestly the worst Ive ever heard. Please, find me a worse one. Super sloppy and falling apart, the jam even dies before it has a chance to begin. Terrible!!
A Wave of Hope follows suit. Again, probably the worst Ive ever heard. The song is ok but it goes absolutely nowhere and does absolutely nothing. What is this crap?!
Round Room is an incredible bustout to get. No reason for this to be a
rarity. However, this is just as bad, or worse, than Axilla. I sounds
like they practiced it exactly one time or something. Just constantly on
the verge of total collapse. Yucky .....
Holy mother of hell what is going on ......
Finally, IAWITW comes along and actually sounds amazing!!! Killer
jamming on this, just blazing hot. This version is positively
UNHINGED!!!! Absolutely must hear, it FINALLY sounds like it will go
type 2 but, alas, Trey kills it dead....of course. This is why we cant have nice things....
Adding insult to injury, they follow that with a short Twist....oi vey.
Its a nice reading but c'mon now.... Also, Treys voice is COMPLETELY
shredded. Maybe he was sick??? Its actually REALLY nice and threatens to
go type 2 but gets aborted as well....
Time for bustout #2, we get the Mango Song!!!!! Thankfully, this sounds pretty darn great!! Grab it - very good version!!!
They bring the heat with Blaze On next. A RIPPING type 1 version, they
just kill it. Good enough for me to say you should hear this one. As
with Oblivion, Trey just annihilates.
Cavern rocks nice and good but Cavern is Cavern.
Im sorry, but I skipped Bowie and Mountains. First time Ive
purposely skipped a song/songs maybe ever. But this show is just a damn
CHORE by this point .....Im positive I dont need to hear either.
The show concludes with F Your Face (why does the crap show get all the
rarities?!) and a nuclear 46 Days to close. F Your Face just crushes. 46
is 46. Terrific type 1 that just burns down the house.
All in all, my goodness what a $#!tshow this show/set was. Set 1
had genuine highlights but even those were definitely "lesser" for the
most part.
Set 2 was just a nonstop car crash or something. What in the F. You know
a set was BAD when type 1 readings of BOTT, Blaze On and IAWITW were
the highlights. Lord help us. At least the encore was fantastic. Definitely grab that F Your Face and 46 Days.
That was EASILY the worst show of the year. By a very wide margin. Even Mexico 2024 #1 was a lot better than this (imho).
Is it over yet?!.....
