Nice review Ben. I attended SPAC and this was my fourth and last show of this tour. After some momentous and inspired jamming at SPAC and Randall's I had higher expectations for this show.

I was definitely taken aback by the Caspian> # Line pairing after a rocking Mike's > Ghost beginning. Weekapaug> Cavern was nice and brought the energy back up but the short versions of Piper and Tweezer intermixed with the new songs just didn't do it for me.

I was really hoping they would stretch that Piper or Tweezer since these have consistently been great jam vehicles of late. I understand they have new music to play but the set just did not have great flow for me. Night 1 of SPAC and this night are not going to be high on my playlists. I hate to sound like a hater but I am not sure I am going to do many kmore stand alone shows as they seem to try and just get as many songs into the set for the locals that are there as opposed to the buildup and creativity that they seem to exhibit over a three night run where they know they are playing to the same audience and try and deliver a little more. Just my $0.02 and feel free to enlighten me with any other viewpoints. Cheers.
