Set 1: Bathtub Gin, Devotion To a Dream, Yarmouth Road, Guelah Papyrus, Alaska, It’s Ice, Poor Heart, Mountains in the Mist, Meat, Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan > David Bowie

Set 2: Fuego > Gotta Jibboo, Meatstick > Piper > Billy Breathes, Seven Below, Waste, Backwards Down the Number Line, First Tube

Encore: The Lizards

Love this setlist, can’t wait to listen.

They kinda kept with the “Relaxed Virginia” theme from Tuesday with the first set but let loose in set II. The “Fuego > Gotta Jibboo, Meatstick > Piper > Billy Breathes, Seven Below” series of tunes is off the hook. And yet another sick BBDTNL. GREAT choice of a Lizards encore. Lotsa bustouts too.

Meatstick jam is dark and funky!

I think this is my favorite Fuego from the summer, and perhaps my favorite jam. While the blissed out major key jams were out in full force this tour, this Fuego gets funky and is darker than the others, which I like. I was sure it was gonna -> into Meatstick starting around the 13 minute mark, and even more so around the 16 minute mark and at 17 minutes they are practically playing Meatstick, alas it didn’t materialize. When the Meatstick came, we were not taken by surprise :wink:
