This first set is great.. A few thoughts.

555 is secretly a monster in waiting. Every time I hear it, it manages to take another leap up the list of "Songs I'd love to hear massively jammed out at least once" - Could see it easily slipping into the First Set King of Darkness role that Bowie, Melt and Stash have all held at one point or another.

the first set 'king of darkness' question is a great one, and one i've not considered. this year's 'major' new tunes - first or second set - are not contenders, due to their respective styles. you've mentioned 555.... what else is dark, complex, sleek, jazzy? what about a tune like scabbard? more more of of magilla thus far, leaving me with a crab in my shoe mouth sort of feeling, i could see the song being reworked. it's complex like a foam, but seems far more open-ended.

great review from another great show. and another cool encore. love to see a fee or a mango in that spot soon. i've heard a lot of lizards phrasing in the playing this year; something to look forward to. an encore choice last year, it would be cool to see the tune somewhere surprising.

the second jam seems like the result of a wonderful mistake - and man does fish pounce, and trey respond in kind.

cool to see this fury carried over not only into the next mike's, but the next yem.
