Review by funkalunk

funkalunk Had to run out on Slave to catch a train, so this (early, and subject to change) review is sans-encore.

Set 1:

The first of many callbacks to last year was the Bag, and it was a fine reading. Average continued until Jibboo, which was nice and jammed, and worth catching. End this with a song I've never caught on to, ol' Fluff, and this set had me worried for the night. Luckily, this only made future sets better out of surprise.

Set 2:

My god, this was everything set 1 was not. Nice long jams, an epic segue (Light/Golden Age), and energy that could only be stopped by the coming end of year gag. I could spend a few hours writing about each track, best I can say now is grab this show.

Set 3:

Between the two sets I saw people setting up for the stunt, and I was confused. Dude next to me nailed it, called Steam. I owe him a drink.

Cavern pumped the place as always, and Steam (The undisputed king of 2011)/Lang/DWD understanably hightened the crowd's energy. The next few songs were all cooldowns until the most amazing First Tube I've ever heard. Great job boys, we owe ya for this.

E:

Didn't see the E D: I apologize.

Download this when you can, totes worth it.
