Steam is a fitting choice as the 3.0 train chugs along.

the chugging is over....this NYE run makes it official.....

[Hicks]

Really don't understand why they would play so many of the heavy hitters over the first two nights.

[Augustus]

Cities and Piper.
25 minutes of above average stuff.

they are what Trey said he never wanted them to be:

I would potentially kick in Bowie too. I really liked how that meshed. Regardless, no exploring the whole run. I honestly have no idea how they could believe this is what people want...

I don't think they believe this is what people want to hear. I just don't think they care at all or they just can't jam, explore or improv like they used to.  Looking forward to summer 2012 - pffffft.

Is 01-01 still the best show of 2011?
Doesn't say much for the band's growth.

I think its more of what Trey wants. More Indie/ Alt Rock style show...Ballads, a couple of funk jams (suzy, wolfmans) the rest is just playing songs straight thru, rockin out.

I actually thought Trey was better last night than the previous two, and I'm not feeling as negative as some of you this morning. Was a pretty boring new years show though, and once again there was minimal jamz. Completely forgettable run.

imo, UIC1, Blossom and every night of Dick's is better than 1.1.11.

This thread is sad. I know a bunch of folks who had a great time. Most of them like Phish though. Enjoy 2012.

[roggae]

I had a great time as well. Happy new years.

Always great running into you Scott!

[roggae]

I shut it off during DWD, I was hoping to be surprised in the morning, but it was worse than I feared.

I guess the band thinks that this is what people want...?

At least Steam sounded pretty sick leading up to the balloon drop.

Thanks again for the tix Matt!

I'm sure if I had been there, I would have had a good time.  At the end of the day, for me, it's still about the music brah.  Nuff said.
