Ah…they got back into the swing of things in a hurry this tour. This second night is much better than the last with them stretching their legs a bit. The It’s Ice jam and the Antelope are great, but as a whole the first set is average. If you’re interested in hearing what Guyute originally sounded like I’d still recommend this show over the previous night. The second set has an awesome Mike’s suite. They rage Weekapaug for a few minutes but then break it down while Page rocks the then new (that summer tour I believe) clavinet. Of course, they rage the end back into the Weekapaug theme. Other than that the Hood is amazing. They go through a nice swelling type jam in the beginning and slowly work back up to the climax.
