Taper notes:
It was a hot day in the sun at Gathering Of The Vibes -- near 100 degrees, and luckily the overhang of the stage provided shade to those of us who came in close enough to the band. I think this was the hottest (temperature-wise) moe. show I have ever seen! But the performances also made for a great birthday show for me -- in particular the transitions in this show are extremely well-done -- the Good Trip > Faker rides in on a wave of feedback, the Faker > Moth is just a POWERHOUSE and the Buster > Rebubula segue has cool hints of So Long throughout which kept us guessing as to which song was coming next. In general, the Moth from this show is totally on fire, and everything is extremely well played, including the semi-rarity, Good Trip. So Long fits so nicely into the middle of Rebubula, and the Rebubula iteself almost wiped me out from heat exhaustion!

If you are still burning CDs, I would suggest breaking your discs between tracks 7 and 8
