I was here, and it hasn't been 24 hours, but holy, holy shit. Unquestionably the best show I've ever seen. Wow, fucking wow. I'm not even going to re listen until we watch it at home tomorrow night.

[Buffalo Budd]

Yeah, that is one helluva setlist.  :-o

[birdman]

Woke up to this set list. Must have been a hell of Sunday in Wisconsin. Can't wait to give this one a spin

This.  :crazy:

[GBL]

Do you think they wanted to close out strong since it had been a couple weeks since they played a good show?

Uh. Second set is amazing.
The Ruby Waves jam flows through a variety of modes, tempos, and styles. It's outfuckingstanding. Let's not overlook that they neatly enter Ruby Waves from a short Mercury jam and segue nearly into Twist at the end.

So many F-bombs in Icculus, btw.

 Music stuff. Bothers me the date is wrong though.

This is incredible. 224 songs in 26 shows is just bonkers.

It's almost like they prep 225 songs for the summer then find themselves on the last day having not played a bunch of the ones they prepped so they drop them all on the final night.

Trey probably just looked at the song list and thought... "oh yeah, we forgot to play all the good ones!"

I was thinking when they started it that Mercury might be a nice version. When they popped into Ruby Waves, I was a little nervous that they might not try to push anything too far. Glad I was a little off base.

I am pretty sure I am a puddle somewhere on a hill on Alpine Valley. My body has somehow made it back to Denver and to work on it's own.

That Ruby waves was absolutely insane. I am still in disbelief of what happened last night. I just figured I'd never see icculus...like ever. That's all I could have wanted.
