Looks like a great show!

Looking forward to listening to set 2 for sure, especially C&P>C&P reprise.

I'm a Light hater, but this one worked on the webcast. Probably the last thing I remember. It led to a pretty decent jam . . . fiery ending leading into a Sally that didn't quite fit the flow but wasn't bad. Must listen.

2nd set was one of the best of 3.0 if ya ask me. 

[rowjimmy]

First show I've bothered with of this leg.

I've enjoyed this first set. I started on Reba and all in all it's been pleasant to great throughout.
Bowie is short but sweet and Trey gaffles about the first attempt at the closing runs but nails the next and you know, if we grade on a curve, that'll get him a passing score.

On to set two.

Jam out of Light is worthy.

[Augustus]

Light jam was good.
Crosseyed jam was light.

[McGrupp]

I should probably listen back, but based on the webcast last night, I'd say it was a top 10 if not top 5 2nd set of 3.0. I enjoyed that thoroughly. Really no qualms with the first set either. I liked that show a lot and I probably would have been ecstatic if I was in attendance.

This was true, I had a glimmer of hope,  definitely caught the MLB tease in Bowie as well. 

Show was nuts, my favorite in the last 4 years I've seen along with the gorge in 09.  Place was electric last night and they brought it, the Crosseyed finally had meat to it and slipped into forty minutes of awesomness.   

I was extremely deflated after the two openers but the Axilla/Reba combo brought things back to life.  Mound was a huge treat and only my second since Hampton 96 so it's been an extremely long time coming.  Ride Captain Ride my first since Deer Creek 98. 

I hope people are stoked on this show because I was finally reminded last night why the hell I run around to see these guys a few times a year!

yes, this show was awesome to attend. best of the weekend. and that second set was great. crosseyed through rocky top was stellar. bit of a letdown with boogie on/meatstick, but then bug was real nice, and yem ended it strong. a kind of odd yem, very low key and groovy, no rock guitar, and a long, really nice drum/bass section.

i really thought at the end of light they were going into tweezer reprise. was trey playing the reprise riff, more or less? or that chord progression, anyway? seemed like it for a moment.

the energy in that room was nuts during the second set, and when they finally played reprise, the place blew up.
