The rain delay+curfew, 1-set show 
Nice choice of INNYLTB to open the show. Solidly rocking. Good stuff.
Right away things get intense with a 17 minute Everything's Right in
slot two. This version isn't particularly strange or crazy, its just
really, really good!! The song feels a little groovier
than usual. The bliss rock type 1 extends up to about 11 minutes. From
there they kick it into high gear and the jam EXPLODES. Just pure fire
outta nowhere. From the there, the jam explores a variety of extremely
funky, soupy and rocking styles, eventually slowly winding its way to a
close. This was really terrific. Definitely must hear.
Then into a 14 minute KDF!!! Really enjoyable though ultimately
underwhelming, never escaping pleasant bliss rocking and kinda fizzling
out.
Camel Walk is excellent. Terrific stuff.
And now holy moly, a 15 minute Stash?? Lets go! Stash is hot and the boys are cookin. AND HOLY CRAP THIS STASH IS SPECTACULAR!!! It
stays type 1, but is completely "extra" from the first second to the
last. Unbelievable x factor energy on this. I cant believe im saying
this seriously, but I truly think this was the best Stash Ive ever heard. No, im not exaggerating. My god.
After BATR and MyFe comes another incredible reading with a 12 minute
Bowie. Absolutely flawless technically with even MORE energy than that
Stash, I would say it damn near comes close in terms of quality. Just x
factor high quality across the board. No meandering either, high quality
playing througout. Spectacularly strong regular Bowie. Def must hear!!!
And now a 15 minute Carini?! Carini is excellent though
disappointing jam wise, never escaping hot type 1. Terrific segue into
No Men. No Men is killer - 12 minutes of ass kicking, getting growly and
hard in the back end. Id call it must hear. Really awesome version. The
finaly few minutes are sick.
Unfortunately they commit the ultimate sin and axe it in favor of a
standard strong Twist. The set proper ends with a genuinely excellent
Drift. Not must hear, but about as good as any standard version can be.
Great stuff.
Boring encore of Bug into Possum. At least both are excellent and Bug is dedicated to Bon Jovi who is in attendance
All in all, for the most part this show delivers a million times
better than you expect. Tight and HOT playing, X Factor energy all over
the damn place, a ton of lengthy readings ...
The only bad part is that none of the jamming really takes off that much
beyond terrific type 1. Its a nitpick but a valid one. See Carini>No
Men for a good example.
On the upside, Stash and Bowie were among the finest modern versions played.
All in all, id say Everything's Right, Stash, Bowie and No Men are all essential.
Definitely a show that punches above its weight. If the jamming was better Id rate this like a 4.1 or a 4.2
