Man I forgot about this thread.
Deer Creek was unreal. First night started slow but Typical Situation liberation was insane, and an unreal version for having not been played in so long. Midset watchtower with Gary Clark Jr. was rad. Everybody Wake Up no longer sucks, and I FINALLY got So Right, which Ive been chasing for a while. Cool hearing the new songs as well. Solid show, and a great n1.
N2 was probably the best show Ive been too. I am not a Big Whiskey hater, so Seven opener was sick, and I always love Why I Am
Then came "the run"
You Never Know - Top 5 song for me, and easily the best post-2000 song the band has produced that Ive heard.
Seek Up - When Isnt seek up epic?
Song That Jane Likes - No freakin way?!?! This run is getting more amazing by the minute. Great hearing Jane, never heard that one before either.
PIG!!!! - Dave acknowledge some folks with pig puppets in the pit n1, and I thought we had a shot, but not a huge one. Weird intro, Carter started Spaceman so it started out slow and gradually sped up but still a great version.
People will hate on Spaceman » Cornbread as the dud of the show but whatever. Spacemans not bad, and Cornbread, whatever it lacks lyrically, brings the energy. The lawn went nuts, people were going crazy. I resolve to no longer get bummed when I see Cornbread on sets of shows Im not at, and just remember it gets the crowd hyped.
Nancies is always sick, and during it I looked at a friend and was like "It would be cool if they went into Warehouse like they used to." Sure enough, stop time intro starts, gotta love the woo's.
Fool To Think was so unexpected I didnt even recognize it at first, awesome new jam at the end as well.
Two Step was epic, as every Two Step is. Have you ever been to a show and not left saying "that was the best Two Step ever". Exactly.
Halloween » Billies was the expected encore, but that didnt make it any less epic. Halloween is awesome, even if its lost its rarity factor a bit. So awesome to hear this tune and appreciate it more, since I certainly didnt "get it" when I heard it at my second show.
And Billies is just an awesome way to wrap up the show.
Only thing that could have made n2 more epic would have been the written encore, Minarets and then HallowBillies, but hey, whatever.
Cant wait for Alpine next weekend.
