Show starts out a bit rough - tech issues, energy, song selection. Boys seem to come alive here, with some nice Jerry leads and Keith fills

Perfect tone, swells, and peaks. This soars

INCREDIBLY slinky. Excellent action Brent-side on this.

Brent and Jerry trade smoking solos, then mesh at the final end jam. Choice

Early, beta version of the track, the (albeit brief) jam in this is strong

This first set is the fucking balls and this TMNS is a perfect, peaky cap to a hot opener

Should be curated by Neil Degrasse Tyson. Super heady exploration of the cosmos, with a very nimble and shiny run through the verses preceding it. Interesting the 2nd set getting so much love (very well deserved, for sure), but the first set is an absolute scorcher as well, as mentioned earlier. Amongst the top shows of the year, easily

This one really hits the spot. Juicy runs up the neck from Jerry. Poignant vocals. Dig it
