4 21 22 New York
Set 1
After letting us know THE supposed Suzy Greenberg is in the house
tonight, they open with a terrific an inspired reading of said song.
Extra all over, Fishman is going nut with vocal interjections lol!!!
Must hear for sure!!
After a standard hot 46 Days, we get a REALLY nice little Plasma. The
jam is super fluid and gooey tonight. Definitely grab this - its a
hidden gem!!!
Following that, we get the first TMWSIY suite since... when??? Fall 2019? Or was it played in 2021.... I forget... Good stuff.
Wolfman is pretty terrific tonight. Definitely deserves it's jam chart.
Not the hottest ever, but as with Plasma, it's just super duper SMOOTH,
slowly winding and building its way to the peaky conclusion. Really,
really good!!!
And the "wtf?!" hits continue with a rare outing of Esther, beginning
the 2022 Estheraissance. Solid over all though Trey has sticky fingers
throughout. A solid reading of one of my least favorite songs. 
And set 1 concludes with a huge 17 minute Ghost!!! Up through the 10
minute mark its a gooey, soupy, major key kind of funk. Great stuff.
Then it slowly gets a little darker and more serious. Heavier Gordo,
more rocking, the robo wah and synths....Things pick up a major head of
steam and around 13 minutes they begin to slowly build into one of the
sickest, nastiest, hose spraying peak sections ever. And it lasts a
solid 2+ minutes!!!!!! Holy moly suzy creamcheese!!!! And then out to a
close....Holy SMOKES what a Ghost!!! Total X Factor!!! Definitely must hear!!!
All in all, this was a great set. Individually, I thought it held
together better as a whole rather than if you were to pick it apart.
Ghost is must hear and Suzy and Plasma and Wolfman are all well worth
your time. The rest is excellently average, but major points two huge
bustouts. And the energy is WAY better tonight.
No complaints with the set. A million steps up from night 1!!!
Set 2 opens with a 17 minute Chalkdust!! Woohoo!!! And immediately Trey rips into us with his first solo by going straight for the robo way!! Never heard the in-song solo sound like that!! That was SICK!!! He
goes back into a straight sound and they absolutely RAGE for a few
glorious minutes! A bit shambolic with the transition back into the
song, but who cares. The jam itself begins with them dropping into a
laidback night groove. Around 10 minutes a pounding rhythm begins but
alas it is not to be and they quickly shift into boring upbeat melodic
chill bliss. Ugh. This goes until 15 minutes where things begin to pick
and the jam regains a head of steam. Lengthy sustained notes and
shredding Trey. Absolutely incredible hose explosions finale!!! Wow!! I
know I complain about too much "major key chill bliss", but either way
this was a pretty exceptional Chalkdust. Definitely X Factor!!!!
The watery ending of Chalkdust segues perfectly into Tweezer!!! Really
beautiful 13 minute chill Tweezer. Definitely worth a listen. This
Teeezer is just gorgeous!!! Bright sunny day vibes! 
HOLY CRAP THAT PEAK!!! MUST HEAR!!! THIS TWEEZER IS FANTASTIC!!!
Perfectly after that magical conclusion we launch into 2001 to get us up
and moving and back down from the clouds we were flying through.
Excellent high energy version with a great Martian Monster section in
the middle.
And then oh crap into Maze we go. AND OH BOY WHAT A MAZE IT IS!!! This one is a gosh darn 10/10 as far as modern versions go. Trey is just annihilating. Absolutely must hear!!!
And what a world it is when a blazing About to Run is the "cool down"
song! Also, hot damn does that just FIT coming after Maze or what?! Must
hear, this is a facemelter. Also of note is Treys soloing sounds
particularly bluesy and slinky on this one. Wow.
An excellent and rare Mango Song follows. They nail this and it sounds GREAT!
Harry Hood is excellent tonight. Not must hear but definitely strong.
Killer end to the set with a crazy C Zero/Tweezer sandwich. Id call that
must hear. Sick.
Uninspired encore of ALBTD into the obligatory Tweeprize.
All in all, this was an excellent show, but it also fell a little
short for my taste/expectations. There is a lot of great stuff but not
much that will TRULY blow you away, if that makes sense. I mean, nothing
"all timer" level or anything.
Id say Ghost, Tweezer, Maze, Dust and Zero are the must hear materials.
This WAS a terrific show, but at the same time it didnt even feel in
the same league as something like Mexico 2022 #3
Basically, Im being a jerk to this show. It kills. So ignore me. It was great!!!
