Coming in hot out of Space, this Fantasy absolutely rips. Jerry is shredding all over and Brent sounds great.

standard fare until some psychedelic Beam slapping from Mickey matched with syncopated tribal madness, crescendos into a warm and dissonant Space

Gorgeous set 2 opener, dreamy Sailor, powerful Saint, Brent sounds incredible. Interesting to play this before Scarlet/Fire in the set

The final jam is absolutely smoking! Also has that crazy opening jam out of space, this is one of the best versions I’ve heard yet.
