Review by thelot

thelot This show comes with a nice dSBD source that captures the energy of the room well.

The Landlady into Suzy pairing works perfectly to open the night, with a seamless transition that feels locked in from the start. It’s Ice features a funky, groove-driven jam, and they’ve clearly reworked the post-jam section to lead more directly into the final chorus — a nice touch. Both Jim and Foam are solid and confidently played. After Foam, Trey mentions it’s their last gig in California before heading to Arizona, noting that it’ll be his first time there. Similar to the Seattle version on 10/11, Trey approaches the Chalk Dust jam with a fresh twist, steering it in a new direction right from the jump. MSO starts off normally, but Trey calls for Fish to drop the drums, and the band sings the opening lines in a gospel style — a fun and unexpected moment. They follow it with a tight, energetic run-through. Stash is strong, full of tension and release, and Golgi closes out a solid first set with plenty of fire.

The second set kicks off with a fiery Llama, and Page really shines during his solo — a definite highlight. There’s some humorous word salad from Trey during Gin, but the band regroups and builds a nice little jam. Tweezer settles into a deep groove and segues nicely into Horn, which makes for a well-matched pairing. YEM includes a cool mini-jam section and a fun vocal jam to follow. Oh Kee Pa leads smoothly into HYHU, and Trey takes a moment to explain that Henrietta is dead, replaced by Showboat Gertrude — and tonight, he’s joined by his mother, Mrs. Gertrude. The banter is off the rails and hilarious, with everyone clearly having a blast. The set wraps with a tight and uplifting Hood, sending things out on a high note. The encore brings the second GXBX of the tour, a punchy closer to cap off a fun night.
