^^ underrated , ""Hope you'll fall inside and lay beside and float away" ^^

set II [><] set I

Set 2: 'Hope' A+ version. post lyric 13 minute jam has it all. Psytrance, Space Rock, Dn'B, Blues Rock, Jazz Rock, Untzin' and Funk. Allen is a busy man here lol. My Lord he's amazing. Then the eerie synth voicing and horror movie madness by Mr.Mags while Marc is so nicely loud repeating the same bar perfectly(until he doesn't lol) and Barber plays more rhythm but of course has his moments of pure genius. This is a very special version. (unf) ~> 'Minions'
[a song about mountain bike tires!? how weird] Yes, another A+ version. This second set is truly special. This one is as good if not better than the Nov. 20th version('09) from The Fillmore in SF. The Barber intro jam is money honey. The kick off is pure bliss. No rush. The opening chord prog is gorgeous and is good for a solid dopamine rush. Great last quarter jam with a funky little groove as Marc's bass creates a new heartbeat for you. TREMENDOUS Minions!!! "AC2B" 'Safety Dance' fakeout!? a little. Lovin' the little extended intro. 1st jam has great melody and patient soloing by Jon. The skies really open up for him to play...such a supportive band. Not as ra-ra as other versions so to speak but damn it's a solid back door jam. ~> "Robots" Show ender...24 minutes. Yummers. I give this one high marks for the last jam (8 minutes or so). Besides Eddie Van Barber, Mr. Aucoin is so crispy here. The MVP of tonight's Robots.

Set II::: 9.5 / 10

Set I: [Norwegian Wood; The OSLO segment] 'Overture~>Shem-Rah Boo(unf)~>Lunar Pursuit~>Overture' Overture is Overture, correct? Not tonight. Again, this show is painfully UNDERRATED!! This is Magner, Allen and Marc just ripping up anything in sight. At around 11 minutes, they go into one of the greatest Overture jams in the history of TDB. As soon as the tempo is doubled up and the high hats are in play we witness beauty than is 100% pure Biscuits energy. ~> 'Shem Rah Minions' ~> (should have a "Minions" tease in it's description) 'Minions' tease/accent throughout it, it could have easily slipped in. The intros are extended a tad more tonight it seems. The beautiful beginning portion segues into the lyrics with the familiar slap 'em if you got 'em on bass guitar. The final 5 minutes or so is Dance Fever. Some great psyfunk. This part is a snapshot into 2009 damn near perfection music. What a fantastic way to climb into ~> 'Lunar Pursuit' Untz. The lasers are the 5th member of the band. LP is such an effective bridge to and from whatever they want to do, I will never tire from this tune. I just love it like an old friend. Sorta like how 2001 or Hydrogen work for PH. The halfway reggae/dub jam melts into a guitar/keyboard led groove. Of course, they finalize the show with a great peak. Everything sucks a little less with shows like this!!!

Set I:::: 8.50 / 10

** a tasty side dish strain for this smokin' show could be a classic, like: [Chemdawg] This hybrid strain may have a mysterious past— no one knows exactly where it came from, though it seems to have begun somewhere near Nepal or Thailand— but there’s nothing mysterious about why it has become so popular. Chemdawg features a distinct aroma that’s reminiscent of diesel, and the experience that comes with it is often described as intensely focused, cerebral, and enlightening. This amazing experience has made Chemdawg a popular choice for breedingand is responsible for hugely popular strains that include Sour Diesel and OG Kush. Just as potent as the gasoline its aroma reminds us of, Chemdawg is a must-have strain for cannabis enthusiasts.

Peace to you and yours. May you stay safe on the roads this summer. Love
