Enjoyed the hell out of that.

Really dug first set more than second
Good start

[ytowndan]

I dug the opening trio of the first set.  Gin was rocking.  The transition between 46 Days and Antelope was nice as well.  Even though it wasn't a "real" segue, Trey kept somewhat of a theme going with that feedback loop which tied it all together. 

Second set got off to a pretty good start with, once again, with an awesome opening trio.  The Wolfman's jam was pretty solid, and the Blaze On jam was great.  Golden Age was horrible (the song that is), but the jam was quite superb.  Roses was very unexpected in that spot, but it's always welcome.  From there on out, the set kind of felt up and down to me.  The Fuego jam felt like it could have gone somewhere for a minute, but ultimately it fizzled out. 

Overall, it was a great start to the weekend.  Pumped for tomorrow.

they be loving them some Walls lately

[khalpin]

Don't remember a damn thing, but I had fun.

Everything except the encore tunes was also played at Magnaball, I think?

I had a blast.

khalpin, are you out here? Saw emay in the lot and caravan during the show.

Back to bed now.

the 30 min of Blaze on > Golden Age is the highlight of the show imo... Gin was also a scorcher!   The rest of the show was pretty well played but nothing really stands out.   Good show, not near top tier of the summer though.  Low light was probably the > from Halley's Comet into Undermind.  That was pretty rough.  Also, it really felt like Fuego was going to get out there and suddenly the Wading came... I am not a Wading hater persay, but that hurt.

Heard big red struggled with the vocals/lyrics in GA?

No, I'm just doing couch tour.

Heard big red struggled with the vocals/lyrics in GA?

yes and he has been the past few versions that i can remember.

but the jam more than made up for it. one of the cooler jams of the summer IMO, but of course I've gotta go back and re-listen to confirm my opinion on that.

don't really like the song Blaze On but I'm enjoying its newfound home in the 2nd set and that it has wide-open jam potential.

Agreed that blaze on and golden age were definitely the highlights, or best stretch of music, from last night.

also...

no setlist antics this year? i see on twitter people are still trying to find a meaning to last night's setlist, but seems to me that the lesson here is that "Most shows spell something..."

... "but some don't at all."

[mehead]

Those stoner interns....

I'm a full minute into Undermind and it's still the jam from Halley's

And like UM said, the transition from Halley's into Undermind.....yikes

No, I'm just doing couch tour.

Well, dammit then.

On the show: Yes, Trey definitely fumbled during Golden Age but the jam redeemed. A few other little stumbles may have happened, or maybe I was high. Tapes will tell.

The 46 Days is 

But the > into 'lope is pretty sweet

[khalpin]

Crowd noise picked up on the external mics prior to Tube starting:

Baba Booey....Baba Booey....Howard Stern's penis.....Baba Booey

Man, that Halley's > Undermind is so harsh.
