Bobby does a great job building tension with dissonant chords, then nice release

Celebratory victory lap after a sick set. Very hot Mags
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Agree with Grendel, the segue out of Dark Star is completely flawless and totally filthy, then they SLAY the couplet of China > Rider. This DS > China > Rider > Sugar Mags section holds up to nearly anything on one of my favorite tours the boys played. Super energetic coupling here

Sweet fuck, this is GREAT. Been a while since i heard it, and the SBD majesty of the new release is undeniable. The boys hit so many sweet spots in this. Epic, multi-sectional journey that blends effortlessly into a sick China > Rider. Needs more dap

This is precisely how you start a show! The boys dig their heels in early with a beautiful, melodic, and spacey jam. Love this show
