Looks like a fun show. I look forward to hearing the cities > Bowie, the new mike tune, and the new cover.

Here's tonight's print for those that missed it:

Energy?

[birdman]

Way better than Bangor. Weird song selection but the jams were decent. We had a large Paug contingent rocking section 11. Thanks MBW.

[PIE-GUY]

Tonight was great. Light-> mango and drowned highlights.

[VA $l!m]

Nice. 

I thought they sounded good, and showed some willingness to get weird.  Just need trey to let it happen.

I couldn't have said it any better myself mbw.  Really thought Cities was going somewhere.

The light was sick. After a solid first set I thought the second was a snoozer. It had moments but was just meh. There was kinda zero energy on the lawn.

[sunrisevt]

Second that--energy on the lawn was slightly off. I'm thinking it was the humidity.46 Days was sick.

[Play_It_Leo]

 the fact that almost every poster  has had a different  favorite song from this show is probably an excellent sign.  can't wait to give this a listen.

Yarmouth Road - I can't decide if it's chill as shit or douche chill inducing.  Maybe both for me.  I plan to peep energy as well as the Light jam.  Anything else?

[DoW]

odd.  I though the energy didn't start until 2/3 of the way through Gin and carried through the 2nd set.
better than Bangor.  Light was really good.

they soundchecked it in Maine so I have heard it played twice.
I don't hate it but I'll pass.

[sophist]

Energy sounded good. I liked the segue into Light.  I would've loved to see Energy taken out for a ride for its FTP.
