Holy blankenstein. 12/30 is my wife’s birthday and we’ve been blessed over the years to get some ripping shows to celebrate and this year was no exception.

The second set was the best set they’ve played since the bakers dozen. I’ve never heard them end the show on such a peak, it was like they decided to keep throwing gasoline on the fire of the jam and just let it burn itself out after they left rather than wrapping it up themselves. Coming out with a chalk dust encore means the band knew they had delivered in a big way and wanted to send us off into the night with the vibes through the roof.

It’s almost like I always wanted it this way and didn’t realize it until now.
