Thompson-Boling Arena, Knoxville, TN

Set I:
Runaway Jim, Punch You In The Eye, Ocelot, Foam, Train Song, Undermind, Mike's Song > I Am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove, The Squirming Coil, Character Zero

Set II:
Back on the Train, Waves > A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing > David Bowie, Army Of One, Reba, Hello My Baby, Julius > Cavern > Harry Hood

Encore:
Frankenstein

Couldn't really get a good feed from the live stream... ugh.

Yet another show I'll have to listen to before making a call. Let's hope this Mike's Groove gets back to the groove we all love. Nice to see ASIHTOS make an appearance. Hopefully it makes a good sandwich in the middle of Waves and Bowie. They can keep Army Of One for all I care. Never been a song I liked.

SBDs should be up soon.

Yep. Zero should go into semi retirement. As in semi played once every tour.

[Rift]

Show is up at LP already.

Shit that was quick!  :-o

Yeah Baby, Yeah: Waves > ASIHTOS > Bowie
Hope this sounds as good as it looks!

[Undermind]

I only have a 20 minute ride into work so I only listended to the no spoilers Undermind and the beginning of Mike's.  Wow the Undermind is sweet!  It's more extended than the Hampton version with Mike dropping bombs!

[Mr Minor]

I was curious when they were going to bust out some tunes from Round Room and Undermind.

Each show seems to be getting better every night.  I like where this is all headed!!

[PIE-GUY]

Report from the font lines - no major bust-outs, but everything was extremely tight last night. Agree with me or not - Trey's "whale call" is getting better... one thing is for sure, it's not going away. That is his new "style" and will be for a while. Listen to the Hood, esp the peak of the hood right before and even during "you can feel good." If he feels it's appropriate for that moment in that song, it's just his new style. Get used to it. I am.

Last night was exactly the type of show I love. Late 2nd set Reba, you know it had to be good, and this one was amazing. Honestly one of the best Rebas I have ever seen, and I was at Clifford Ball and MSG 95. It was right there with those two, in my book.

Julius was rockin'!

The only major flubs of the night were actually Page during Frankenstein. Trey was on fire.

H2 was flawless! Foam was Flawless. Reba was flawless. Coil was flawless. It's been greater than 10 years since I saw show like that.

Off to 'roo today!

[sophist]

Last night was pretty hot.  I loved that Reba, especially how they literally use the full possible range of dynamics.  The mike's song was also a smoker, a nice little jam in it.  The Hood was amazing as well.  I really thought the waves jam was going to -> 2001, and I was getting really pumped.  ASIHTOS was solid, but I thought a 2001 would of made the roof explode at that moment.

Listening now.
I had to play "I Am Hydrogen" twice before I could come here and say this:

"Trey did not fuck up Hydrogen!"

Ocelot is awesome, btw.

I'm gonna seek this one out and give it a spin today at work.  Thanks for the reviews from the front lines!
