DiscoStu When you sneak Sally’s ghost down the policeman’s alley don’t get twisted over more waves of bathtub gin while running from Martian monsters.

I think that sums up set II.

Set one was beautiful, a poignant Sigma Oasis to kick off the night was well received by the crowd of 25k who had largely already taken off their masks… figuratively and literally.
The first few notes of Curtain floated down from the heavens raining beautifully from Trey’s polished Languedoc and everyone who knows anything had huge grins on their faces as they knew we were in for a treat, whatever it may be.
We followed the lines south to the Creek on Sunday and our trek was rewarded with an absolutely OUTSTANDING Mike’s Song - this one (whole show but in particular this Mike’s) is a must listen. After wrapping up a 12 minute inspired monster with type 2 jamming to rank with the best of them I eagerly awaited to hear what would come next…
My Soul was filled as were many others in the crowd that night - the shredding rifts and Leo’s magic keys kept everyone dancing the whole time. Sure the transition in to Weekapaugh was a little sloppy but this is the band we love and this is exactly why we love them! No woman matched my move.
Mercury is a great toon with a great message and since I was no longer worrying about falling, the 46 days, which is a good tune is just not on my want to see again list. I was not worried about how long this 46 days would be (the 46 minute one at IT probably influences me still) and it was not long and was very groovy. A flawless Taste followed and always delights as we peer through the fog that surrounds.
While I didn’t really enjoy the new song from Mike at first I gave it a second and then third listen and it is growing on me, looking forward to seeing where it can go.
Fishman’s high hat signaled the closer for the early Sunday set and told everyone in the crowd to buckle up and to lock their tray tables in to their upright positions as the Creek was about to off!!! Do yourself a favor and crank this one up, absolute fire.

The aforementioned set II was insanity and everything that I love about our band all rolled in to one.

We are blessed or lucky or whatever you want to call it to be able to go see them again, not everyone that has shared the love still can.

Keep on rocking boys, we all love who you all are.
