I thought the fancy reprise was alright and attachments probably best jam of the night. It needed a peak though. Think I prefer New Haven over Boston N1
I would have had lots of fun during this 2nd set. This Fancy reprise is the best one they’ve done in years. Good to see them really digging in and being patient with one. The Attachments theme is a nice followup to it as well, even if they do bail on that a little early.
This 1st set isn’t really my thing, but it’s more a product of bad setlist writing than bad playing. Let’s see, they put Higgins, Ringo, and Mantis back to back in the setlist. Even assuming Mantis is left open, yet jammed, if those songs all go well, you’re looking at 45-50 min there. Yet they were songs 4-5-6 in the set, after two other songs with jams and a 10-minute standard tune in Wife Soup. Just no time. So everything was really rushed this set, but as far as type-1-race-to-the-peak jams go, all of these are above average. 2nd Ringo jam was probably the one most hurt by not having enough time.
Average to slightly above average show overall. Still no bad shows in 2022
