Thunderous. Holy hell, the boys are cooking here. Bobby wailing his lungs out while they lay down some explosive playing.

High energy performance from a surprisingly solid show.

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

Aladdin Theater

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