Review by thelot

thelot The audience recording of Set 1 is really really bad. With that said I’m grateful that it even circulates. The second set has much brighter sound overall but suffers from tape warble in sections. Hopefully the masters make it into circulation at some point. Big thanks to Todd and Art for getting this second set out there! :)

Highlights for set 1 include a nice Landlady/Magilla combo with Trey disclosing that The Landlady was taken from the now defunct, PYITE. Another solid Tweezer jam leads right into a nice Oh Kee Pah>Suzy closer.

The quality brightens up for Set 2. Far more listenable than the first set. Strong Mike’s Groove to open things up with Groove being the main highlight once again. Cool little drum solo before launching into The Asse Festival with a faster tempo. Another solid Stash follows. The first Runaway Jim of tour sadly has the verse about the night Jim died omitted. Short rocker. Trey uses the megaphone for the very first time on this version of Fee. Gumbo has Trey calling out Leo for the first time and has a more developed groove than the first two versions. Golgi has another Chariots of Fire ending referencing back to UMass. For the encore Zero Man performs Love You with an entertaining vacuum solo. HYHU follows which carry’s on into the Antelope intro! Decent jam section and a fairly straightforward Marco section. Unfortunately the encore is MIA.
