Not sure, but how about:

20 min Hood Set II closer. Mark it, dude.

I believe Hood is excluded from the bet.

So the last time a set opened up with a 'jam' was back in '97 right? So fakkin pumped to hear this! Damn, my grown-up responsibilities for making me have to go to bed and miss the show.

[mistercharlie]

And what's happening here? Did a jam blow the back of that guy's head off? and is that Mandi there in the center?

I'd dial back your excitement on the "Jam". It was really just some weirdness with evil laughing. I don't think its even worth noting on the setlist.

super 3.0 balled...

bleh....

Moma, Sand and Simple.....

If the Ball were the only 3 shows I'd seen all year I'd be happy.....BUT.....with this many repeats, and how much of a snoozer this set is, I'd be pissed knowing that roughly $75 of my $200+ paid for a night like this...

It did sound like they were having a blast on stage, and some moments were very nice and tight......but there was nothing new here.....nothin to see, keep it movin....

if I were tracking a show, I'd probably note it either as unusual intro and obscure tuning and banter or whatever.

if you hadn't heard it and you saw that on the setlist and then you listened to it, wouldn't you find it misleading or at least be disappointed?

think about the soundcheck.  they opened with jam>  the soundcheck gave hope.  you see this on a setlist and you'd have high expectations.

Got in during simple last night. I'm like the anti Augusto.
This place is pretty dope. Looking forward to the days festivities.

Agreed. I heard it and I was disappointed.

Got into the venue a little late to meet up with anyone before Set I, so just jammed in the back drinking great beer. Not a horrible way to spend my first set at a fest. Set I was great for me, I got my first Peaches, AND Life On Mars.
Set II, I met up and raged it a little with AACB, WTU, and 'Lope. Crosseyed was fun albeit heavily played now. The >Chalkdust sounded great to me at the time! sand was very nice, Simple had some very cool stuff happening. Weekapaug could have raged, but then didn't.

The kid in front of us was pretty hilarious. He knew maybe one song they played, but was trying his best to have fun. He had this crazy schizoid dance he kept firing up in between asking us "what song is this"? And "is it one of theirs"? I had to laugh when Trey was looping into Silent In The Morning, this dude turns to his friend and says "sick jam"!

All in all, awesome day 1. I'll try to upload pictures to my Facebook when I can.

As far as I can remember the YEM on 10-10-99 The Knick Set II was Ambient Jam > YEM
Good stuff.
I was fading in + out all night on the live stream but I 100% remember that Simple...

[susep]

The Simple reminded me of the 1Nov.2009 Light in its charging, ambient space.
