This show had a couple great peaks. Not too many disasters.  Saw pie, Wtu,Mcgrupp and augs bro for a quick second before.  Had a great time in the taper section. Hoping tomorrow blows doors but tonight was solid imo

Glad I rocked out to Shadows Fall and Killswitch Engage tonight instead of doing this stream lol.

How tight was Mound? 


Phish ain't REALLY back til we get a jammed Halley's anyway

[Superfreakie]

Enjoyed Reba and Golden Age>Waves.

[Gumbo72203]

Waves deserves a stronger show around it, though. 

[WhatstheUse?]

Reba channeled the MSG energy so that was my highlight.

End of waves was getting real nice...

After Waves, this 2nd set looks 

Nice looking encore.  Standard Gin I'm assuming?

The gin was pretty standard but it did have a really nice build compliments of Trey and the peak was really nice. It was a highlight for me and def worth a listen.

As WTU said, another highlight was that crowd explosion during Reba. WTF was THAT? Energy just feeding off of itself in the room. I thought something happened on stage to make the crowd go apeshit like that, but I think it was just because Reba jams are awesome and people were having fun.

Slightly disappointed that they didn't take Golden Age or Waves further out, but it's ok. I really have no complaints about the show. Will I go back and listen to it? Maybe the Gin, maybe the Waves.

Mr. Miner HATED it btw. Said it was one of the worst of the year. That guy.

some dude threw a huge pile of green glowsticks all at once from the upper levels onto the back of the floor.  that served as the catalyst to get a group of people to start cheering and then the whole thing just took off from there.  it just goes to show you how ready to rock the crowd was.

but yes, reba jams are awesome too!

From the webcast the first set felt pretty disjointed and never established any real flow. The Gin was nice but nothing for me to revisit.  2nd set started off with purpose in that Golden Age seemed to be the beginning of another jam filled 2nd set. The > Waves only solidified that thought until reality set in with the Caspian force.  Had the Golden Age > Waves followed a similar path of the Tweezer> Maze from the night before we could have had a very different show. 

Tonight looks to be a monster though with last night being a bit of a sleeper.  I have not read Mr. Minor but if he's talking about a lack of creativity last night I'd have to agree.

its preety weak if the largest draw from the crowd is because of fan behavior vs music.   :shakehead:
