Another kc show that is underrated. First set is aight. Gotta love a Gumbo opener and Divided sky was a nice surprise as it was only the second time played this tour. But Second set was worth the price of admission. the highlight being DWD>Sand. Especially the DWD, prob one of the best single jams of the tour. A must listen.

Overall good show in a amazing venue with a smokin’ second set. And while well played, Probably won’t revisit the first set very often, but that second set will be on repeat

I haven’t gone back and listened to any of these shows yet, but at set break I got a text from my sister that asked how the show was, and I replied with “Bad set…Yikes.” The Last Step, Blaze On, Waiting all Night lost my interest completely. Blaze On is a good tune, but after The Last Step we should have been rewarded with an Antelope or something. But the second set, although kind of lack luster on paper, was actually pretty great. I agree with Greg, DWD > Sand was on par with the other top notch jams of the summer. I would put this show near the bottom of this tour, but it would be an above average show prior to 2014 (3.0 only obviously). Also, watching the ASL guy sign YEM was the highlight of the night.

I do agree that it is an AMAZING venue.

Side Note: My first YEM since 2010.

Yea I kind of agree. I think part of it for me is I took this girl I’m dating and it was her first show, So those songs(slow down) made it easier to pay attention to her and kind of tune out the show… I do love Blaze on though. Plus I was hoping for a straight rocker for her first show. Luciky she got a pretty smooth, rocking second set.
