((<< "halftime festivities can sometimes change the direction of a show:)" >>)) The green, blue, yellow and red band.
I cannot pimp this 1st set enough. I absolutely love it...and so do you :)
Segment 1: <Jigsaw Earth ~> Reactor(inv) ~> Haleakala Crater> Jigsaw has it's nice groove until around halfway when they just own this mid tempo jam. ~> PERFECT segue into my favorite Reactor of all time (in front of 2001-09-08 and 2007-11-03) it's a rocking version that finds the most surreal and psychedelic jam as it approaches a very, very filthy Haleakala!! wow. I just want to suggest you pay attention to the 3/4 mark to the end. Marc and Barber are in a different dimension. You wish this would last all night. <Sister Judy's ~> I-Man ~> Soul Shack> These early 2K 'SJSS's' are great and was/is always a treat when played...well. The Sister gets it's regular treatment and motion until the near midway point where the flowers bloom. Marc is nasty overtop Sammy's marching band rhythm. Smooth. When they let go of this dancy jam, they start heading towards I-Man with a tighter and tighter jam until 'IMan' - with a couple of messed up lines out of the way, they proceed to make this one count...or at least in my mind lol. Nice 'The Thieving Magpie' jam before they go DEEP. Dn'B is the reset jam post Magpie and it's there for a few circles until they decide to jump on into the closing jam (but not the end of the tune) with a nice tempo. This melts into the Sis's ending. <Bernstein and Chasnoff(completes the night before in dysl mode) ~> Jigsaw Earth> so far, all touchdowns and just a couple incomplete passes. The middle jam starts slow and somewhat in nowheresville but they manage to get out of the quicksand and get tribal as hell laying down the beats of heaven, Sammy is terrific in this segment. Barber knows when to slide in and establish a nice progressive solo that gets to that peak and wow what an ending!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! back to end Jigsaw. end of set, what a band.
Set 2-
'Hope ~> Ladies Night ~> Munchkin Invasion' is the gem of set 2. This Hope cooks with Crisco. Munchkin has it guys!! Yes. Inspired! The jam in Munchkin magnetizing 'Story' to itself is splendid!!
set 1: 4.5 / 5 set 2: 3.9042 / 5
***Strain of the Day; for one of Sammy's great shows, a tremendous 1st set and that HOPE! this one is about love, happiness, dancin' and friends:::::
[Strawberry Cough] a 80/20 sativa giant. fruity skunky and eliminator of all things concerning mental negativity. Halfway to MDMA territory with the right amount. Clarity with no fog. Cheers.***
