That was epic fun. Plus I scored a pollock

another good one.  show started off pure fire with a jammed fluffhead.  great segue into pet cat.  i heard trey playing around with this one last night and you can hear it coming a mile away at the tail end of the fluff jam.  bathtub was nice too.

bowie left a bit to be desired.  maybe my expectations were too high after that first set.  everything's right and ruby waves both went great places.  lonely trip is cool.  the yem jam from this summer appears to be dead.  guyute was not good. possum was hilarious.  trey is bored.

what was the vibe in the room?  the crowd was very very quiet on the stream.  almost silence during lonely trip and the lack of cheering during the encore break was very noticeable.

Very satisfying show, jammed Fluffhead, nice Gin and Bowie and my first YEM in over 8 years!      

Stoked to do it again tonight!
