Looove this version! A tick behind 4/23 + 10/16 - the best of the tour - but right there. Arguably, the most interesting transition of them all…! Band: Abrupt stop Jerr: “Go ahead, Phil!” Band + Heads: F*** yes!

What a sequence: Estimated, S>F, Terrapin. Yowza. (Lotta energy after 4 nights off). But, this is a night of growth + exploration. Still feelin’ things out, and they’re about to start exploding, but it’s an exploratory evening…

Jere’s main Scarlet solo is eerily similar to Cornell. He was playing with those notes for a while, as it were. Interesting + young but growing version.
