This was a sick show. The BEK was funktastic. Set II just flowed effortlessly from start to finish. I swear that during Julius that Trey’s gaze was locked on to this hot blonde with a very nice red sweater. Perhaps it was just my gaze.
The peak in the BEK might be my favorite ever. Really just unbelievable. Great gin as well.
I love this show start to finish. The Fluffhead has its share of flubs but the rest of the show makes up for it. Gin -> DWD -> Low rider -> DWD is so sick. One of my favorite fall 97 sequences.
Underrated and overlooked because of the two nights in Hampton, which just goes to show you how strong Fall 97 was, this show is a badass listen. The entire second set is one big highlight and The BEK is worth a first set listen all by itself.
killer stash>nicu as well.
and the gin is just insane. around 30min i think.
I may be the only person that’s not a huge fan of the Low Rider segment. I don’t know why, I just never enjoyed it that much.
But the rest of the show is tits. The BEK from this show jumps of the ground that they layed in the previous version so nicely. As mentioned, the peak is insane. Then the Twist, Stash->NICU segment is just spectacular. I have always really loved these two jams.
The Bathtub Gin is a beautiful piece of improvisational music.
This Stash is completely ridiculous. Maybe better than anything from the previous two nights. It’s still not as good of a show overall, as either of the Hampton shows, but this Stash itself is worth the price of admission. Bust out your Hampton boxset and crank this one up…you won’t be sorry you did.
