10 24 10 Amherst, MA, #2

Only a 3.4 rating on .NET, but I'm up to Stash and enjoyign the hell out of it so far. The energy is HIGH tonight and there is a defnite, fiery, "LETS ROCK" vibe going on (to me anyways.)

Camel Walk smoked, Divided Sky was 16 minutes of beautiful perfection, Ride Captain Ride FREAKIN SMOKED, and so far Stash is doing good.

Unfortunately this is also the farewell gig for Time Turns Elastic :(

This show was one that featured the bare minimum of jamming. But if you are in the mood for a straightforward, song-based appraoach, this show will rock your socks.

The energy throughout was HIGH and nearly every song was a standout or excellent version.

Yes, the jamming was very lacking, but for a song-based show it was terrific. Absolutely rocking.

Don't skip this one just because it doesn't have a 30 minute Ghost

Aww crap, I give in. I've been wanting to continue Fall 2010 (never wanted to stop, actually) but I wanted to wait to hear 10/20 until I felt like watching the dvd.

Its been a month and I'm not in the mood to watch it anytime soon, but I am in the mood to LISTEN to it!

Onwards with 2010!

Guyuutica Here I Come!  

Piper>Birds of a Feather jam>Split Open and Melt reprise

2010-10-19 Augusta, ME

Continuing my currently-very-slow trek through 2010, I move forwards with 10/19 Augusta, ME

Looks like a great set tonight!

A roaring CDT opener is always a sign of good things to come.

And what is that 2nd set?!

FYF>Mike>FYF Reprise>Light>20 Years>Fast Enough>Weekapaug

?!?!?!??!

Dis gon b gud.....  

This gig is totally kicking my butt.

In set 1:
Chalkdust Torture - roaring opener, shredded.
>Back On The Train - excellent, lots of energy but really great "chill" jamming
Bathtub Gin - WHOAH NELLY THIS WAS SICK!
Divided Sky - literally perfect
Jesus Just Left Chicago - CHECK OUT PAGE TEAR UP THOSE IVORIES YO!
46 Days - This was short but HOLY CRAP IT WAS HOTTER THAN THE SUN!!!!

In set 2 so far, FYF>Mike's Song is DESTROYING!!!!

2010 has had a ton of "Show of the year"-strength gigs so far and this is another easy addition to the pile.

2010-10-16 North Charleston, SC

 10/16/10

Up to Sand so far.

Wow, you can tell just from the vibe that this is gonna be better than the previous show which was excellent, but lacked "pizazz" in the feel department.

This gig has that vibe, ya know what I mean?

KDF was a ripping opener.
Guelah was great as always.
The Curtain With - this was the first jaw dropper so far. Simply astounding!!!!
Mango Song - and then the segue into Mango was totally unheard and Mango ruled.
Sand - not quite Camden '09, but dang excellent still

Good stuff so far! 

Coming to the end of Tweezer on 10/16/10

This was easily the show I've enjoyed most since the summer gigs.

Hot doesn't begin to describe it.

Just listen to Crosseyed and Painless...

Holy hell.

PHANTABULOUS SHOW!!!!
