Will tonight feature more debuting songs?

1st Set: I'm hearing 'LTGTR' 'Jack,' 'Bird' chords in the 160 second tune-up... Instead we're going search for that elusive easy-listening "Box of Rain." sweet but kinda weak; time to find Phil another tune. "Touch" is standard though a cheshire smile from Jerry would charm more than this version does. "Far From Me" can be just that; the polite mandatory applause is appropriate. "Cumberland" is undemanding and unremarkable listening. "Memphis Blues" at least has some passion behind the pristine playing. "Push" is typical, not strange for a song that always sounds the same. "Cassidy" is introverted and deliberate.

2nd Set: Merciful god, someone tell the band that this isn't coundcheck "Louie," although this version's one of the best ones considering Jerry and Brent's countering off the rhythm. It quietly segues into "Truckin" It's your typical chill adequately performed less than seven minute version. Whoa, what was that cataclysmic shudder at 2:12 during a lazy-dazy "Crazy?" "Samson" sounds busy-good tonight after a somewhat awkward opening. Without pause, they start up an average "Eyes." "Drums" leads itself nicely to an intense, shape-shifting "Space." "TOO" convinces me that its creators are demented...not blitzkrieg, but solid. "Wharf" makes me feel the despair but the musicians aren't up to taking it to the next transcendent level. "Throwing" forces me to stand and angrily sing-along with Bobby. "Lovelite" appears to be a spur of the moment call. It's snappy and quite good fun for its 5 minute length.

Tonight's encore is an all guns-blazing excellent "Knockin"
