NGL, looks like another ho-hum affair to me.
up on Nugs already, though the HBB is bizarrely tracked as a 12 minute Bathing Digits
After cursory listen of the first set, your speculation appears spot on
They have 4 songs on the list that are bookenders, maybe 5, and they do 3 sandwiches in a show. Kinda comes off as a phone in.
I woulda been fine hearing AIT, mulches, HBB, bridgeless, glory and slacker but it’s nothing I can’t live without. Here’s to waiting another 7 years to see them down here!
I saw that on nugs and instantly came here to see the impressions of this sweet jammed out bathing digits
I’d been kinda bummed that I didn’t do this run (family stuff got in the way), but based on what I’m seeing in these setlist threads it looks like I dodged a bullet.
I especially feel bad for the Austin crowd who FINALLY got a show that wasn’t cancelled and it’s a pretty meh affair.
Whiskey River woulda been tight.
Not like defending this awful looking run, but honestly they were probably still zonked from the trip. Saturday all I did was sleep. I can’t imagine traveling and doing a 3 or 4 nighter. But they should have probably planned better.
I was surprised to see them book a run the weekend after a destination event in fucking Africa.
Between that and the Milwaukee > Punta Cana overnight I’m not surprised they’re running on fumes.
Solid puppet jam
Finally listened to this yesterday, and this is the most standard-sounding show I’ve ever heard. Nothing is egregiously bad, but every jam sounds exactly like what a generic jam in that song sounds like and is very short. I agree that Puppet is probably the best one.
Whiskey River story is funny at least. RIP Mikey
Setlist is good bc each set has good segments.
Plunger > Slacker > Puppet looks fire. Whole first set minus Mulches looks great.
