Notes: Chalk Dust was unfinished.
That was the best damn Gin I’ve heard in a while. 
Wombat was really fun, that song has some serious thump to it. Ghost was a standout too, despite iit being so short. Also Tom Marshall was 5 seats to te right of me. Shook his hand as he was heading out after first set. Dude is a serious giant.
Some good spots in the first set but overall a little shaky compared to the previous night. Still good fun though.
Chalkdust was a good long lead in to set 2, was totally waiting for Mike’s Song to drop. Devotion to a Dream could have been placed else where but wasn’t bad. Now to the real juice of the show…
From Ghost on this show was incredible. Once Ghost locked in mid-jam, it was all over. So tight. Paug started soft but lead to a nice peak at the end. Simple and Hood were both gorgeous and First Tube was great energy. Any show that calls for a Slave encore went somewhere worth going.
MSG was bouncing hard last night. Set 2 was straight fire.
God I love this band.
This might be my favorite show of the run. Need to relisten to the 28th and 29th.
About to watch the NYE show rerun style since I was out that night, but from a couch tour perspective I thought night 2 was better than night 3, not by much but was a little more fluid. Not to take anything away from this Ghost -> Weekapaug Groove > Simple > Harry Hood > Cavern > First Tube
