Review by thelot

thelot The source for this show is fantastic! I wish they all sounded this good! This is a show that was pretty much in everyone’s tape collection back in the day. There are some level corrections made in the first four songs.

Things open up with an appropriate Divided Sky given the backdrop behind the band. After Suzy the band paused to deal with some sound issues. It’s interesting that this has happened numerous times now on the back half of this Colorado run. The vocal levels are dialed in during Possum. Nice little ‘Another One Bites the Dust’ tease from Mike at the start of Cavern. I Didn’t Know featured Henrietta on both bone and vacuum. Slave is always a welcome treat. Decent version. Pretty straightforward Mike’s Groove to close out the first half.

Set 2 kicks off with DaaM. An entertaining YEM pairs nicely with Fluffhead. Following Fluff Trey gives a shout out to Mike for playing a 12 minute song with only 3 strings on his bass. Page starts up Esther following Fluff but they go with How High the Moon instead so Mike could change his bass string. Esther and BBFCFM match up well together. Fun version of BBFCFM with what sounds like ‘O Canada’ teasing from Trey. Hood has a nice extended intro and a solid jam. Don asks Trey to remind everyone that they should pick up their garbage not just today but everyday. After Fire Trey offers a heartfelt thanks to the fans that supported them while in Colorado. Lawn Boy closes out a decent second set. The quality of the recording is just incredible! The band came back out and said they had to cut a deal with Don in order to play one more! Funny banter ensues around the audience not heading Don’s wishes. Golgi bookends the Colorado run on a high note.
