Decent show, with a great Gin jam. Not a huge fan of the two drummer second set, but it still provides interesting moments throughout! Highlights:

1) Wolfman's: Never leaves Type I territory, but even in those confines it is a triumphant delight. Smooth, laid back, steady throttle on funky dance vibes, replete with several audience approving superhero peaks. This jam honestly sounds like a victory lap for what happened during this summer tour so far. Solid.

2) Maze: This Maze is awesome!! At around the 7 min mark, Trey's use of dissonance, rhythm-defying extended notes, and stuttering pedal effects are spectacular! Page's maintains a firm anchoring to the Maze theme, exploring plenty of ground while Trey's otherworldly riffing struggles to break out of those confines. The eventual landing back into the composed Maze ending sticks hard, like a bike rolling through wet concrete. Phenomenal

3) Bathtub Gin: Good god, the stuttering/syncopated funk in this jam is bound to give you the sickness and the cure all at once. It's like an over-caffeinated sugar rush. The whole band locks into a polygon funk interplay early on, with Mike and Fishman providing a plucky, robotic groove. Page and Trey act like digital sirens providing swirling electronic sparks over Fishman's cymbals and Mike's plucky caveman patterns. Eventually, Trey breaks out of the plucky, funk mold to just go soaring above Mike's steady pluck bass, and Page joins him in the ether on the baby grand. By the end, its a perfect summer bliss magic carpet ride, with the carpet bring us smoothly and assuredly into Makisupa. Masterpiece jam!

4) Makisupa: A brief bluesy jam in Makisupa is definitely not what I would have expected and is a nice treat. The transition into a solid AC/DC Bag seals the deal on this highlight

5) Chalkdust: Interesting jam, treads into some dark territory around the 8 min mark, maintains a propulsive beat throughout thanks to the two drummers on stage, and emerges into a strange, bouncy funk before fluidly melting into Taste. I enjoy the moment around 9:30 when the blanket of sound drops a little and Mike leads with some forlorn notes into a relaxed, moody frenzy.

6) Ghost: Roaming, atmospheric. Lots of layered effects from Trey and Page. with Mike poking his head above the rhythm multiple times to say hello.
