nTelos Pavilion, Portsmouth, VA

Set 1: Timber (Jerry), Undermind > AC/DC Bag, 555, Divided Sky, Ocelot, Halfway to the Moon, Kill Devil Falls, Split Open and Melt, Good Times Bad Times

Set 2: Chalk Dust Torture > If I Could, The Line > Birds of a Feather, A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing > Mike’s Song > Prince Caspian > Waves > Weekapaug Groove, Cavern > Golgi Apparatus > Run Like an Antelope

Encore: Wingsuit > The Squirming Coil

Don’t discount second set (other than CDT) due to short song times, some real cohesive jamming here

after 20 years finally got my first If I Could :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

overall i enjoyed myself more during the first set. loved the first Timber Ho of summer. Split was heavily psychedelic… almost too much, threatened to fall apart a couple of times but i’d rather they push it to the edge than play it safe :wink:

i agree with yoni, there’s plenty of interesting jamming in the 2nd set. as the shifts between tunes started to increase i noticed it really took a toll on my energy. CDT > If I Could is, as mentioned above, a very personal highlight. BOAF had some fire but little creativity. ASIHTOS had probably the most inventive jamming moments of the night. The Shock The Monkey tease in Weekapaug was cool. the band hooked up in the groove really nicely and lifted the jam for the moment. Antelope may have been rushed to its ending more than any version i’ve heard before :confused:

the encore was kinda a show saver for me… that’s overstated, but after so many songs in the second set, a nice Wingsuit with a little bit of a key change and some extra jamming and Page sending us out with another piece of piano magic at the end of Coil really made me smile. :slight_smile:
