For me there's no doubt that this was the weakest of the three days interestingly I found because of the second set which I felt was outshone by the first.

not contesting the greater point, but the rationale: what did you find appealing about Set I? i've given stash about as many listens as possible.... i tried: didn't happen, at least for me. it's not even, say, 'major mode' unique like something cool unearthed from live bait. that sort of sounded tired to me.

maze? was cool for a moment or two.

i really did like some of trey's work w/ fish in limb.

and reba is always cool.

I sort of had a hard time with the first set. I found myself focusing on Trey's guitar parts w/in the newer tunes, for 'want' of something to do (and by that I mean discover).

Won't argue Set II in terms of it being 'good' or 'bad' - that, of course, is your opinion. I would, however, posit that Trey's shrug is of the self-effacing sort.... He was going after it during Mike's.... And before that: He was really thinking during a great stretch of a cerebral stretch of playing. If anything, I don't think he/they felt pressure at all. After the first couple nights, it was 'house money,' as they say. They could have NICU / Muled it in....

I mean You paid for all three and already got you $....

Just thinking out loud; I'm with you in that it was a great weekend
