Mike brought out a big shaggy Mike doll on the stage and put it on top of his amp before the first set.
The energy at this show was unreal. With Big Cypress looming on the horizon, the sense of anticipation and building momentum was palpable. As the wave roared around the coliseum the lights went off, and then…dadunt…dadunt…WILSON!
Top 5 Tweezer!
yes sir sick sick tweezer…
Guys, I’m surprised more hasn’t been said about this show.
This second set is perfection. A loooonnnggg, stand alone, type I funkedelic Sand starts things out right. Great stuff from Page while Trey messes around with delay effects for 20 minutes. The soaring Wading resolves into some stellar space effects play. Tweezer is so good. Huge for sure, but not that huge in total area covered. About 14 minutes in they find a theme; an epic, emotionally sweeping, and majestic theme that they ride for a long time. This is one of the best Tweezers I have heard.
