The current rating for this show is admittedly not too surprising, as there are a few things to dislike about this show. While all great songs individually, Frankie Says, Brian and Robert, Bittersweet Motel, Albuquerque, and Wading in the Velvet Sea comprise a veritable "Murderer's Row" of set killers. There's also an abundance of monitor feedback at the start of this show, Mike's Song seems to lose its way during the jam, and Trey's playing during the outro of Fly Famous Mockingbird is so painful that he may as well have been wearing a white lab coat and holding a dentist's drill. But Foam, Stash and Ghost all make the first set worth hearing, Chalkdust and Limb By Limb liven up the second set, and Weekapaug tops things off with a fast finish and a Big Rock Ending. And the Water In The Sky, Drowned opener is an appropriate nod to the thunderstorm that affected the show the previous Summer.
