Review by camel
The first set of this show, the final of a 7 night MSG run, was up and down. The LC opener was unexpected to say the least (and it was a great way to start us off), the Maze was quick but satisfactory, and Martian was pretty decent - a good jam from a song you hate to see not played more often. Moving on, it's hard for the boys to miss with Divided and this was no exception... super awesome stuff there. Caspian was fucking superb but was aborted waaaaay too soon. NICU was mediocre at best, but I can't hold that against them. Steam was proper, and acted as a good getaway vehicle to whatever the hell that NICU was. Drift was really, really, fun and pretty, it was a nice touch to end the set, as I felt it was fitting due to the recent loss of Chris McGregor - and I think Trey was feeling those emotions as well.
The second set is where things really get picked up. SYSF was a pretty good opener and was a nice jam, but Tweezer is where things really got started. This Tweezer, no matter what the "official" set list says, was not interrupted by Guy Forget. Sorry to break the 425-show-draught-ending-dream, but that just wasn't song enough to count as a song... it was basically just a Tweezer with Guy Forget quotes / tease(s). Straight from the Tweezer, we go into WTU?, a personal favourite of mine, and this performance may be one of my favourites as well. So, so, pretty, it glued the jam together going into SaSS, which was also pretty good. The Tweeze sandwich, all in all, was fucking fantastic and I would give a lot to listen to it live one more time. Everything's Right was also a great performance and was so fun to listen to. I love BDTNL, another one of my favs, but the beginning of this one was a little awkward even if it was just for a second. But with most faults in this show, I cannot hold that against them, though I must clarify it was pretty good regardless. The obligatory Tweeprise was also fun as hell. Overall, you can tell the guys had a lot of fun with the second set and really stepped up their game for it. Also, the Hood encore was classy as hell and - again - very fun to listen to.
Favs: LC, Maze, Divided, Caspian; Tweezer -> WTU? -> SaSS -> Tweezer, Tweeprise.
