The Ghost from this show is incredible.
Possibly my favorite Ghost. The second set is pure greatness.
yeah the ghost is ridiculous
all true. the rocky mountain way isnt really all that great though. a bit of a stretch for them i think…
This show, esp the second set, is just nastay. The Ghost is a monster…at ~12:00 Trey switches over to playing rhythm in a very James Brown-ish fashion and Fish just lays into a thick groove. Then Page moves over to the synth and the shit just blows up. They funk it out for a few mins then Trey moves back into playing some lead phrases and the jam just launches into a nice feel-good type jam. Then there’s some more funk in there, then i poop my pants.
I love the weird YEM too with the Russian-style vocal jamish thingy. I like the Rocky Mtn Way as an impromptu cover here…it’s not an awesome rendition of the song but it’s very fun in the middle of this set.
I remember getting the first three US summer shows right away directly from a taper to get psyched up for the shows I was going to see later in the summer. I distinctly remember sitting on the futon in my bedroom taking bong rips with Brett listening to this second set just going 
and thinking “holy fuck this shit is gonna be epic this summer”. Good times.
