After recently re-listening to this show, I really got off on the closing "House Dog Party Favor ~> Humu ~> Cyclone ~> AC2B" especially the tempo change thus leading into a great crescendo jam out of Humu into Cyclone. I forget how I forgot to forget about forgetting the sheer force of this segment. Not an A+ AC2B but fierce as hell all the same. This fall tour demonstrates the beginning of the cohesiveness they would later harness. A few mistakes and empty void jams here and there but real quality all the same IMO.

The last hour to hour and a half is quite primo.

'Stoke The Fires Of Paradise
With Coals From Hell To Start"

I just couldn’t care less about this Pilin it High (original) jam. Both Ladies and CWB have jams in them that really don’t do a whole lot for me. The Spectacle intro is similarly, just okay. Astronaut has a SITA jam that never gets outside the type 1 box. The second jam begins with some thirst quenchers from Allen, and somehow that novelty still hasn’t worn off on me. Nearly this entire jam is a long dance onslaught that works from the first note.

Bullets and WIS are jamless. First HDPF jam is fine, forgettable. Second jam has a very natural segue into Humu. Not something that really moved me, but not bad. Again the jam out into Cyclone is not BAD, but this just never made me really interested. Most of this night was just average, run of the mill jams it seems. Both AC2B jams follow suit, and the Camera B and Morph encore is short and to the point.
