I can’t believe there aren’t any replies to this yet! So much fun this show is.

First set Maze, Mule, and YEM are highlights. I liked the build up before the jam section of maze. The Mule Duel was excellent and YEM was perfectly placed as a 1st set closer.

Second set was fantastic. This entire Mike’s Groove is worth a listen in my opinion. Mike’ was raucous, simple had nice funk phrasing, light had a little bit of everything, and the Weekapaug was smoking. Also the Slave was as good as I have heard in 3.0 right up there with AC 2010.

And. Lizards. Encore. I mean. C’mon. Lizards. Encore!

This is up there with one of the top shows I’ve seen since the 90’s.

#4

have not listened yet, did trey remember the words to lizards?

#5

Nope! Lol

#6

Mule Duel also featured Fishman dueling with drums and Mike dueling with bass and footbell.

#7

The best part was he forgot the words just before : " Their clumsy end was perilously near. :stuck_out_tongue:

#8

I thought he forgot “the trick was to surrender to the flow.”

#9

nah he got that, i remember listening to him sing it and hearing everyone cheer as usual

this was a sick show. this and AC1 and 2 were my favorite i have seen so far. Great show with an awesome first set and a sick mikes groove. Light was sooo dirty

#15

Damn right.
Just a solid show all around, but that right there is all gravy.
Trey & Mike were on fire. Very psychedelic.

Seven Below got pretty groovy as well if I remember. Nice to hear that song.

The first YEM of the tour set the stage for that second set IMO.
As soon as the first notes started, the place just erupted. Great first set closer.

#16

I usually prefer a first set YEM. I was getting worried over the last couple years that it would forever be relegated to a second set closer.

#17

Hahahaha, this Mule Duel is amazing!

#18

And for the triple post,

This.

#19

I think I can take a stab at that- “boofing” is a term thats recently popped up in lot meaning to put the Droogs up your butt so the chemical bypasses the fliteration by your liver- I hear it hits you “way harder”
Mahl dog is molly so I can only assume brahl dog would be molly manufactured by shirtless brahs (or brohiems)

  • hope this helps
