I'll need to give this a listen before commenting. Looks okay on paper but the truth is in the listening.

I'm sure those that attended will have something better to offer up in the way of opinions.

Wow.

The first set was tight and dancey and solid. The reba and possum were at times, mind melting.

The Halley's was sick.

The jam out of boogie on was wonderful.

I loved everything but the TTE and slave....even the zero kicked.

Rift was TIGHT.

7 out of 10.....caN't wait for alpine.

Going to bed.

wow guys! My first show since Conventry and they did not disappoint! just got back to buddies place, we raged it 15 rows back from mike it was siick! They looked like they were having a blast, smiles all around. Im so sore, my body hurts all over, Ill try to write a more detailed review but the reba was a first set highlight for me and the Halleys Comet was the jam of the night! the Mikes was dark and jammy as hell. I think one thing that will stay in my mind about this show was during character zero I turned around and the balcony was literally bouncing up and down!! it was bouncing so much that I was actually scared for a minute! Great show! the Mcgrupp Encore was a total kickdown!

Wow great show. They were on fire. I am psyched for everyone there. I can't wait to see them again Thursday and listen to the Halley's tomorrow. :banana:
Keep it coming boys!

You guys should see the hater-text in the in-show discussion thread... Going by the setlist alone per my last post in that thread:

Looks nice to me, not spectacular, but not a letdown by any means.
KDF is aight - and I like it a a lot and would want to hear it live, Ocelot is good and I would want to hear it live (hope they improve the jam), B+R-Sample may be "pop" but that stuff comes in a set sometimes, Ya Mar is aight, Reba is nice, Train Song hasn't been played much, I can handle it, Horn is OK, Possum is good and Slave is good. On setlist alone I give it an ok. I'd like to hear it to see if anything jumps out.

Halleys - being over 13min gives me wood, runaway jim if jammed well after that is good, sez is ok, I want to hear TTE live and I'm sure we'll get it at alpine so I'd be alright with that, Mikes Groove - nice, boogie on - I wish the jam would go further as I do with cities but the song is good anyhow, zero - typical but ok, I've seen it a lot so I wouldn't be surprised. It's like an encore before the encore. I definitely want to hear the Halleys, but I can't say the rest was lackluster

SSB-great, Mcgrupp-nice bustout, wmggw-nice
The encore looks great.

Overall, the setlists may not exceed any other setlists from this tour, but I think they're okay.

Hoping for an Alpine Buried Alive, Vultures, Spock's, and Leprechaun If shit gets evil, I'd like a Carini and Wilson too. All these songs together would make an eerie and evil set. Mix with Stash and Maze and you've got something good (or should I say bad) going.

mattstick · June 17, 2009, 08:05:07 AM

Jammed out to Yamar, Reba & Possum > the first notes of Slave on my drive into work.

Sounds good, not Bonnaroo good, but good :wink:
