This show is not good. Tons of jams that just repeat one riff into the ground over and over again with endless peaking and not being able to go anywhere else. Bleh…Except the Fir 1st jam, which is wonderfully dynamic, patient, and properly explosive at the end, and is everything good that the rest of this show is not. Where did that one come from?
The Phil’s encore is alright too. I appreciate both sections there. Certainly a well above average encore.
It felt weird to miss a Raleigh show, and I would have left reasonably happy because of Fir, if I hadn’t been completely jaded by that point due to the very rough 1st set.
