Deep cuts, especially the gnarly Mike's > Weekapaug. A n00b-unfriendly show, as it were, but that second set is an underrated home run, flubs notwithstanding. (Side note: the only show to close both sets a capella, as I recall.)

The NFCC felt more like an airport hanger. It was a huge open space with cement floors and ceiling like a gymnasium. The stage was set up on one end and there was a set of bleachers on...
Solid show! This is my favorite of the three Mike's -> Weekapaug's. Just real dirty, the noise jam in the last half of Weekapaug is super awesome. Reba is ridiculously fast, yet still fairly clean considering, and has a great build. It's a bummer that they didn't all catch the cue to end it,...
Notable Jam Chart Performances
Individual jam chart entries from this venue:
Sick wrecking ball version that will pound your head. Start with some "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" jamming to warm up. On to improvisational twists and turns, a tense, hammering peak, and a somewhat bizarre ending. Very demented.
Unusual mid first set placement. Trey hits on a great riff that he molds as the jam develops. The band really stretches this one out, with unbelievable intensity even before mounting the final peak. One for the ages.
Compared to the preceding version, this one begins in a less frenzied state, but builds up pretty good head of steam, including "Crossroads"-like jamming. The 2nd jam begins with Trey mini kit action, until 11:40, when Trey returns to his main instrument, transforming the rhythmic oriented jam into hose-filled, "Weekapaug"-like, major mode celebration. -> to a great "Weekapaug"/"DDL Jam."
