Review by Lemmiwinks

Lemmiwinks This show is rock solid and being rated a tad harshly IMO.

So let's put this one into some proper context: considerable expectations being 4/20, a long delay for phans who were originally scheduled for NYE in December 21, and the bar feels raised after Summer/Fall 2021. Understandable across the board.

And yeah, if you attended this show expecting a 30min version of Legalize It or whatever.....well, that's on you.

4/20/22 wasn't a 5-star show by any means, nor will it be discussed as the top night of the April run, but the quality is here in spades.

The opening sequence of Carini > Possum > Moma Dance was worth the price of admission alone, and the first set highlight will likely be debated between the Carini and the blistering Stash.

DWD is perhaps the jam of the night, and The Howling was a cool landing pad in this spot.

Jamming conversation aside, I love that 4.0 has really emphasized the 1.0 song catalog with some amazing bustouts and spirited readings. See: MITM.

Sure, Reba had some slight rust, but let's give the band some leeway too. Still a nice version.

In conclusion?

The show was a giant weed cloud anchored by Carini, Stash, and Disease.

Sign me up.
