Looks alright and it looks like I should get a Reba @ Camden or MPP, so I am pumped, espec. if this version was good.  I don't need epic, all I need is good.
And what's with STFTFP being as set closers?? Interesting, and my tweeprize from Hershey got completed, funny stuff and cool.  Did Trey say it was for Hershey?
Onto SPAC.......Cool. Have a good night people.

Summer of '89 is definitely not a cover of Drowning Fish. I just listened to that on youtube and it is in no way similar at all other than the title.

I'm all about puffing and putting the shows up, I mean I know I would. That being said, I'd like to think that I could manage to separate a Possum/Momadance. :frustrated:

It's time to give Reba the Divided Sky treatment. Memorize it. Ask Shapiro for a tape with a nice sounding Reba that isn't too over-the-top-difficult and learn it. Or put it on the shelf. Either way. Just stop f---ing with my Reba. I don't want to hear it for old times' sake. I want to hear it because it's pretty.

*sigh*

edit:

I'm not breaking out the haterade. This was a nice show. This is probably all on me. The head knows that its old favorite song is the new shitbreak, but the heart just won't listen...

the second sounds like trey is drunk off his ass or something. he's all over the place. yet somehow that just makes it all the more perfect.

I dig the Fee opener

Like the wolfman's

Hood isn't bad

Reba is meh

Tweezer is pretty cool

Theme was botched big time...hard for me to forgive that one.

Stealing time to end a set (again?)

Double tweeprise sounds fun, but that's about the only thing that stands out for me.

I'm sure the show was fun to be at, but were people really saying best set list of 3.0? Seems pretty standard to me, minus the double tweeprise

I feel the same way. Best set list of 3.0? Not by a long shot IMO. The Tweez was pretty cool, but I have only listened to it once. Wolfman's wasn't bad. I thought Trey hit some pretty cool licks at times during the Reba. Double Tweeprise was cool, but overall pretty mediocre show.

The sloppy second reprise would be due to Trey jumping/running around stage like a complete maniac, and at one point jumping to his knees, leaning back and rocking out like a rock star.  Shit was wild.

Fun show, besides the encore, pretty standard 3.0, but fun times were had.

Trey sounds AMPED by the end of this show - I'm sure it was fun.

But i'm turnin on the haterade for this one and gonna say it's not really doing it for me. Bottom 2 shows of the tour for me so far (not going to say it's my least favorite).

I'm sure I would have had a blast if I were there, though.

Perfect. I couldn't place it last night, but you just did.

I wish the band were writing new material, but I'll settle for Trey. I got my nostalgia fix last fall. At this point I'd rather hear Trey play something he wants to play and play it well than hear Trey play what I want to hear and torture it.

Yes, I *did* just say that I'm looking forward to getting a TTE more than I'm looking forward to getting a Reba/Tweezer/Weekapaug.

I think he's seriously lost his chopps....the opiates took em away for good......along with his ability to think melodically.....

I don't know if he has really lost his chops... It sounds to me that he is just plaguing himself with his whammy toy... When he lets loose and plays without it he just rifles down the notes, but he is just getting caught up trying to play with the added element of the whammy... I don't know why he wants to shoot for that whiny sound tho and peak out with the Whale Calls, but he is, I think its detracting from his ability and the sound obviously, but not because he just is trying to cover up that he can't do it anymore...

I'm not saying I think he's gonna fall off the wagon and get back into H/pills

I am saying that a lot of people can stay "clean" and still have a few drinks and puff. It's not a black and white situation for everyone.

If Trey can catch a buzz and stay off the hard stuff, more power to him.

Is that the one where Trey's attempt to hose consisted of hammering the hell out of a single note, like a poor broke homeless man's Jerry Garcia trying to play the climax of Morning Dew?

I give it that one an I.

Which is particularly fitting, b/c that's not 'paug. So incomplete is the only legit grade.  :-P

All I'm sayin is I wouldn't be upset with trey if he was drinking, even puffing (but I doubt he's doing that).

Just stay away from the "bad" stuff!

I always thought KDF was pretty straightforward lyrically... The protagonist (not necessarily Trey, but let's be realistic) is an addict trying to rationalize neglect of his gf/wife, saying that he's sorry and he "learned his lesson" but is recognizing that in spite of what he's saying now he'll probably "do it again" anyway.

I never even considered it being a pro-drug song, more of an ironic look back at his pre-sobriety self and a recognition of the self-delusion that went along with it. "Don't go back to Kill Devil Falls" doesn't really indicate to me that it's an approving look back.

It's time to give Reba the Divided Sky treatment. Memorize it. Ask Shapiro for a tape with a nice sounding Reba that isn't too over-the-top-difficult and learn it. Or put it on the shelf. Either way. Just stop f---ing with my Reba. I don't want to hear it for old times' sake. I want to hear it because it's pretty.

*sigh*

I'm not breaking out the haterade. This was a nice show. This is probably all on me. The head knows that its old favorite song is the new shitbreak, but the heart just won't listen...

I
Fee - Nice opener
Rift - A bit flawed, but okay
Wolfman's Brah - Good stuff
Summer of '89 - I like the crowd's response to Trey singing about the Summer of '95
Foam - Yes, more like this please.  Thumbs up!
Possum - Nice
Moma - Solid.
Julius - Trey forgets how to end it....twice.
Reba - Looks like they've got the composed section down nicely.  That makes me happy.  Good, but not great jam.
Cavern - To close it out.

Not a bad first set.

II
Halley's - Solid, with a quick solo and right into:
Light - One of the better 3.0 tunes.  Nice jam.
Billy Breathes - Didn't see that one coming.  A bit of a different arrangement.  Not my favorite, but since it's a rarity (kickdown?), I can dig it.
Tweezer - Slap-happy Mike!  Trey adds the delay pedal to his whale calling.  Double your whale!  Nothing really notworthy here.  3.0 noodling.
Theme - Trey abandons the ascending run and just starts his solo instead.  Otherwise an okay version.
Harry Hood - A bit of a struggle at the end of the composed section.  The jam isn't out of the ordinary.
Velvet Sea - was waded in
Stealing Time - To close out the set?
Sleeping Monkey - We're an all-request band.  Love it.  "This if for you guy with the sign!"
Tweeprise x2 - Pretty hilarious actually.  Must've been a blast to have been there for.

Love the encore.  Otherwise it's not exactly chock full of highlights.
