Review by The__Van

The__Van Well unfortunately I don’t have much to say about the 1st set (aside from some interesting improv in Wilson). I found it rather boring.

The 2nd set opens with a blistering Disease. Trey shreds his way out for about 9 minutes before settling down into an uptempo funk jam. Normally this would give way to space/loops/mini-keyboard but instead Trey ops to guide the jam back to a shredding finale. Spacey loops abound out of Disease and then... Heavy Things! The drop made me laugh out loud. Good cool down with melodic playing. SOAMelt gets the job done with some nice tension from Trey but not super memorable. Then some silliness from Fish claiming “I know like 2 songs anyway” followed by the vacuum solo. 2001 is fairly standard but good nonetheless. Mike’s is above average but nothing to write home about despite the jam chart mention. A well played Hydrogen leads into a standard Paug for the set closer. Coil of course might be the greatest encore song ever.

Not much to say about this show in general. Just not very memorable outside of Disease. I think this is what is meant when complaints are leveled at 2000. Blandness. Not god-awful like 2004 but very forgettable. That being said the next show would be an all timer!
