Quite possibly one of the best two night runs in a long time. Can't wait for Vegas!

Don't look now, but that was four stellar set II's in a row. Starting to get jealous(er) of all you dudes going to Vegas.

Damn! Some solid looking second sets happening!

Dat second set. They really took that simple out there. Was really dreamy and chill at first then just kept on keeping on. Little bit of a ripcord into the fucking insanity of the 46 days with the inception style sneaking, that was for sure one of the greatest highlights I've ever seen. Love a second set no quarter. Was a rocking version.

They really were jamming everything it seemed like. Even the runaway Jim had a little breakdown after the lyrics but before the composed section. The gin was solid, and the stash was okay. They did an okay job building tension. They just didn't peak super hard.

All in all probably the best show start to finish I've seen. Not to mention my mom absolutely loved it! Everyone was giving her props for being there with me haha. Im grateful my mom is super rad!

Really enjoyed this second set. Can't wait to go back and hear the whole thing.

holy crap, this Weekapaug is amazing.  Wow!

Mike's Song was nothing to write home about; Trey needs to stop with the echoplex and actually DO something in the song.  The last 20 versions have literally been the same lol.  Love the call for Waiting All Night after Weekapaug.  This sounds beautiful.  I could hear this song every show.  Fish's ride cymbal.....   that's where heaven is.  Love the interplay during the solo, too.  Fishman is adding some really cool subtle ghost notes on his snare, and Mike and Page are just killing it together around Trey.  Trey doesn't sound confident in the early part of the solo, though.  Page's low piano notes come to his aid though, and it's glorious.  Surprisingly didn't hate Sample in the slot right after, either.  Maybe I just haven't heard the song in forever, haha.

Gin was alright; I really liked the theme that Trey found right before the return to the Gin theme.  Didn't really peak for me, oh well. 



In any event, I think we all know that Trey wearing a hoodie was the biggest determining factor for this show.  Loose and relaxed-dressed Trey = win. 



EDIT:   HOLY SHIT THIS SIMPLE!!!!  yaaaaassss!!!!!  Kind weird how it just sorta randomly died out there towards the end, before it down-shifted in the the low-gear Woo section.  Fishman realllllllllly wanted that Saw It Again, though!  He's playing the beat.  It was right there. 

[Gumbo72203]

Oh my.  That 2nd set/encore.  Not sure that's toppable, at all.  Good lord. 

[mehead]

Mike's Ass Groove has a nice ring to it.

[rowjimmy]

Solid show front to back, imo.

[Gumbo72203]

even the Stash was satisfying!!!  I don't think Stash has ever truly satisfied me in 3.0.... they always felt like they were leaving energy on the table.  This version, I felt like they milked it for all they could.  Well done. 

[Marmar]

minus the guitar issues Trey's had since switching to the Marshall heads (which SUCK), very solid show.
