*Trey on keys. **“Also Sprach Zarathustra” tease. ^^First time played; Trey mentions that he and Page are “from around here,” and that someone else grew up around here, “the greatest songwriter of all time”; Tom Marshall appeared to sing lead vocals, in full Springsteen style (red bandanna, etc.).

The first set is filled with pretty much straight songs. Besides the Maze, which wasn’t exactly scorching the Earth, it is just a solid set with next to no jamming.

Second set definitely makes up for that. The 2001 starts off really loosely, and jams for 10+ minutes before heading into Mike’s Groove. Really strong Mike’s, amazing segue into Hydrogen, and a super amped up Weekapaug with a great 2001 tease. Simple keeps the energy high, and Guyute is absolutely icing on the cake. Such energy. Anything after this point seems like extra.

Encore is fun, not being a Bruce fan it isn’t epic for me. Fun to have Marshall out though.
