spreaditround SET 1: First Tube, Farmhouse, Dogs Stole Things, Divided Sky, Heavy Things, Horn > Carini, Ginseng Sullivan, Back on the Train, Maze, Bouncing Around the Room > Guyute

First set summary: Long set – 88 minutes. Divided Sky is pretty good I thought. Really, everything is well played. Back on the Train seems to lack punch. There is just nothing here that I would ever want to revisit.

SET 2: Twist: Nice, tight, rager >

Possum: Not a fan of this in the two slot in the second set. >

The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday: Love this tune, who doesn’t? But in the middle of the second set? > Avenu Malkenu >

Big Black Furry Creature from Mars: Set is doomed.

David Bowie: Super creepy/dark/evil in the late 9’s. Crowd is quite amped. This jam goes 3.0/Major key jam starts around 11:20. Back into normal Bowie territory at 12:00. Serious Trey trilling in the early 15’s. Strong finish. Above average Bowie for the era for sure.

Wading in the Velvet Sea: Big fan of the placement knowing that there is a Hood that comes after this. Page sounds all emo at 1:53? Trey’s solo is exceptional >

Harry Hood: This Hood is incredible! I have no idea how this has not been on my radar all these years as I have listened to this show a couple times before now. But this sucker punches HARD with HUGE peaks. The fact that it is not a jamcharts version is criminal.

ENCORE: Funky Bitch, Messin' with The Kid: Good stuff!

Second set summary: Another very long set, 83 minutes and the encore is long too clocking in at just under 18 minutes. Bowie is solid, Wading is poignant, and Hood is exceptional. The set itself is choppy in the first half but does recover. This show is a far cry from how hot the band was through 10.2 – as such I would rate this as just a 3.5 out of 5.
