Fun to have an official release of another Japan '00 show finally. It also dawned on me while listening that this was the last time the band's played outside of North America (at least to my knowledge). Really pretty LxL opener that leans into that lingering approach the band took for a lot of the tour. Fishman's great throughout, and the final peak of the mountain is really grand. Absolutely crushed First Tube and the Reba ain't half bad. Otherwise, it's a fairly radio friendly first set. Second set certainly starts off a lot phishier with a big Runaway Jim -> Theme -> Dog Faced Boy arrangement. Like the 6/9/00 Tweezer, Jim remains largely recognizable but takes a creative route through the jam--some really nice Mike in there. The Theme -> DFB transition is some real smooth work on Trey's part. Driver right after DFB is an interesting choice. Julius is a little lacking imo as well. Slave and Bug are standard but nice in context of the set. Happy to hear a strong Hood to close out the band's time overseas--this one has got to be up there for longest Hood intros as the band makes plenty of passes before the first "Harry!" Good fun show, but I'm bummed the release didn't include the soundcheck or any other Japan filler.
