I’m glad they did what they did. Great 2nd half of the show
That was a great 2nd set.
For Whom The Bell Tolls (Metallica) tease in that amazing Mantis
Not my monkeys. Not my circus.
I knew something sounded familiar but couldn’t place it when I was watching.
So close to an Ex1.
I see you Wide Open. This song is about to do big things
I’m a little less high on this show than all of you. There are two big highlights: Wide Open and Mantis, which help. Nice to see Wide Open get actual improv in the middle, and pretty good stuff too - then the outro may be their best yet. Mantis has been discussed. Draconian is solid too, but gets aborted pretty hard just as it gets cooking.
Rest of the show feels pretty sloppy and disjointed to me though. Just as IDM got going, it got Breathe’d, and then a very odd transition into Package and Day Nurse, neither of which were wanted at that point. Then Plunger shows up too late into the 2nd set to do anything. This show is very much a victim of its (Stasik) setlist. Oh well.
I thought the Mantis was good but not great, IDM was okay too but nothing extraordinary. Gonna go through the rest of it tomorrow…
The “wife” and I had a blast and thought the show was awesome. I thought the venue was really small, so we didn’t even try to get on the floor. So we posted up behind soundboard for the second set and had plenty of room.
After Mantis, I noticed Wyllys was about 15 feet to our right. Had to remind my “wife” about making the giant check for his Bear Creek set. She suggested I go say hi. I did not lol.
Also, I thought the tease in Plunger was Glenn Frey rather than Lady GaGa
When was the last Plunger with a jam in the middle instead of the end?
I don’t know this is usually a question for you brah. Can’t be having the oracle asking their own questions!
It’s been a long-ass time. I was thinking about requesting a two jam Plunger for #500 whenever the hell I get there…
Pretty sure there was one last year. Ill see if I can find it before this meeting I have.
Edit: 2-10-2022
All Plungers should be 2 jam Plungers. Minutes ~3-8 of that song are otherwise throwaway to me.
You take that back. What about the beautiful 7/4 && the castanets??
I’m strictly a 4/4 guy. All jams in the key of G major. Maybe why I like Spafford so much.
Ahh good ol PhishLite, I like Spafford too, just like the odd meter stuff too. Hence why I like UM, especially their proggy stuff. Given your handle you like AC/DC, huh?
No just really bad UM songs.
Probs, didn’t they cover this in full right after he died?
Hell if I know. I didn’t really hear any tease just added it to the set list since someone brought it up. Only poker face I know is by the GAGA.
