SET 1: The Star-Spangled Banner: Well received!

Sample in a Jar, Cars Trucks Buses, The Sloth, Divided Sky, Character Zero, Ginseng Sullivan: Solid first set fare, very typical for the era. I do appreciate the Zero placement, but this was also not atypical for the era.

Stash: This is an underrated version for sure that has multiple peaks as you might expect. Definitely has replay value.

Waste: Standard.

Possum: Played in a different or lower key and just doesn’t sound right. Someone who is a musician and can identify this sort of thing would love to get some feedback from.

First set summary: This is a rock-solid set but outside of the Stash there wouldn’t be anything I would ever need to come back to.

SET 2: Wilson, Chalk Dust Torture, Wolfman's Brother: Great energy coming out of the break but nothing truly notable.

Reba: Well jammed, workmanlike with no peak to speak of.

Train Song: Standard.

Maze: Good Maze for sure but won’t ever be mistaken for the monster played 3 days ago in Pittsburgh.

Life on Mars? – Standard.

Simple: Mike slays while Trey jams on the mini kit. Page and Mike join forces and take this one to funk town. There are about 30 seconds of cool spacey effects and then… ->

The Horse > Silent in the Morning: Standard.

David Bowie: Extremely speedy, played at the speed of light.

ENCORE: Funky Bitch: Standard

Second set summary: Another solid, but unremarkable set. This show kind of defines much of 96. Kind of stale and generic. Just not much of anything in here that is breaking any new ground. I would rate this as a 3.6 out of 5.
