The show is hit-and-miss but certainly worth a download.

The first set had some of my all-time personal favorites (McGrupp and Horn) played well. Personally I like Alaska. Trey seems to have gotten the message from the general fan-base regarding its mixed popularity as it has been scarce of late, but I take it for what it is, which is a fun, frivolous, tongue-in-cheek stomp, in the same vein as Tennessee Jed.

Tennesse Jed had similar lyrical and musical tone and I've felt for some time that Alaska, not Ocelot is the Tennessee Jed twin.

Second set was very good. Not great, but very good. I agree with the reviewer about the beautiful combo of Wingsuit and Winterqueen. I also loved Waste after C&P.

I've never quite been able to relate to fans who consider it a "downer" when the band flows into a slow, dream-like respite out of a hot jam. It's natural and appropriate. You can't spend the whole show running at breakneck pace.

To continue on the same reference point, the Dead made a living out of doing that. "Crazy Fingers", "Stella Blue", "Row Jimmy", and other such slow, drawn-out songs were staples of 2nd sets for many years and often followed more up-beat, danceable numbers.

I just don't understand what the problem is with doing that. I think Trey & Co. are making a concerted effort to weld the new material into prominent placements, as well as experimenting with both 1st and 2nd set placements, in part to help us get used to associating the new songs with their more established material. This was a problem with the Joy material; they never really committed to the material from that album the way that they seem to be doing with Fuego.

The Dead played "Estimated Prophet" almost every single night of tour the year that "Terrapin Station" came out. My point is that if we're going to encourage the band to move forward then we need to be willing to allow the new to replace some of the old. This will affect our experience at shows because there will at times be a sense of anti-climax or lack of release.

End of ramble.
