#2

They seemed to be changing things up setlist wise this night compared to other recent shows. Simple, Ice, NICU, Antelope is a hell of a way to kick off a show, especially when the It’s Ice has one of those hard-funk jams that only 94 Ice’s have. And a smoking machine gun Antelope. Trey’s solo in Runaway Jim, which was unexpected after it sounded like Suzy was going to end the set, was also screamin.

The second set contains more stellar versions of Reba and Bowie, but this tour is really when, in my opinion, YEM started to take off. They have a nice little jam before slamming into the B&D section.
