This is such a bizarre iteration of the HAB opera. They begin the show with Bald Mountain, which is in keeping with the Halloween theme. Then randomly they play an forgettable DTTB and jam less Jamilia. Okay…? Anyhow, Overture has a very solid DNB jam, followed by an average Fiddler. They jam out the ending a tiny bit, but nothing that really moves the meter much. Both TVM jams are relatively forgettable for me, and Voices, Eulogy, and Bazaar are all jamless.

Mulberry’s was just not notable during this time period, and this version is no exception to that. The Waves segment features two short-ish jams, neither of which is memorable. HAB is a very piano-heavy jam that just goes nowhere as well. The HAB opera is a neat gimmick for this show, but not very interesting, jam-wise.
