1996-08-16 | Plattsburgh, NY | 37:07 | The band's first "official" festival also introduces the concept of the Secret Set. The band loaded up on a flatbed truck and began traversing the grounds in the middle of the night. As with anything that happens for the first time, it doesn't go off without a hitch. Less than nine minutes in, Trey has to drop a "Yo!" and ask a fan to not run next to the truck. There's a patience in what the band does, even as they're doing something nascent. They never rush to find a groove, but find them organically. Around 26 minutes in, things begin to coalesce and the band locks in. The slow burn pays off as the effects come out and Trey gives an emphatic "Yeah!" as another novel idea hits in a big way. Just as they seemingly appeared from nowhere, the band drifts off back into the night. |
