Has it really been that god-awful uninspiring a run or are some folks falling prey to the dreaded "expectations" again?

I don't find anything wrong with "competent, relaxed and professional versions" of songs I love to hear.

Otherwise excellent writeup with terrific attention to detail. Thanks.

The 'Paug was outrageous.

They're falling prey to the "this show wasn't in the northeast, must bash it" mentality, sadly.

Having witnessed it firsthand, I can say for sure that they played more than 1.5 good sets in the first two days. NYE I was terrible though, uninspired song choices and uninspired Trey. Once he got it going though, it never stopped. 1/1 is actually really good, stop looking at the 9 minute song timings and LISTEN to it. WINTERQUEEN might be the highlight of the set, not even kidding. Blissed out as fuck.

Thanks for the first hand account. You heard what I heard. I Loooove Winterqueen and this treatment bodes very well for this coming year. It's a beautiful and sublime tune.
