Pretty epic first set, incredible flow, nice bluesy, river feel.  Great high energy picks, 4 tour debuts mixes it up nicely.  Mike again continuing his incredible playing this tour.  Cavern felt like it had some extra sauce and energy as did the entire set.  Possum definitely raged.  Even tunes like The Horse > Silent felt perfect in their placement and playing.  Spock?s Brain continues to impress as a new tune on this tour.  Melt was a great way to end the set on a high, improvisational note, high energy, tension and release Memphish!
Obviously set two is anchored by the almost 50 minute Tweezer.  Many jams, motifs including a definitive Slave jam.  Props to Mike and Fish for propelling this monster from the outset.  These guys single handedly took this jam to next levels.  Lots of great ambient type spaces with the last 3 or 4 minutes arguably the best out of 4 or 5 distinct jams.  Rocky Top is a nice nod to the Volunteer State.  Best show of tour hitherto.

Alright I slacked a little and just cranking through 6/29/95 and man that bowie is top notch. Love the quick machine gun shuffle jamming around 20:14. Then, Trey pulling you into the dark atonal abyss and back to the bowie peak over and over again feels like a sonic baptism of sorts. Solid ending. YEM & Simple > melt are pretty good too.
