Incredible analysis, as always. I am curious as to your thoughts about the Tuesday's Gone encore. While one could chalk up the song choice to it being a random Tuesday night, the timing of this particular song, on this specific date, provided me evidence of divine intervention through the alchemy of music and the cosmos. Not that I am a Lynard Skynard fan, but the placement of this song, on this night remains one of my top musical experiences of my life and proof of a higher power. It was also the catalyst for me to hop on fall tour and.....

GREAT review, Rob. This one really resonates for me.

This was the only show I caught with my wife (her only show, she gave up pretending to like the band after this one ha), and I remember it vividly. The blistering opening sequence on a hot summer night in Mansfield. There's a 90 second or so section at the end of the Halley's that hints at some December 99 vibes for me. I just love this version. Not the longest, but a really wonderful, tidy jam that gets to a sacred spot in no time. Layered, druggy, Cypress-esque euphoria is how I would describe it.

You nailed it with introducing this new shift in the band as Layering. Perfect description.

I was overly critical of your MPP recent review, a show I really like, but you nail this one IMO, as you do routinely. Keep up the good work, sir.
