Whoop here it is. A few final and very brief thoughts on each show from this leg. I'm already two shows into Late Summer Tour '09, and if it continues in the vein it's in now, none of Early Summer Tour will ever matter again because Red Rocks is blowing away any of the shows I've heard in 3.0 so far. But, for posterity, here's a brief series of thoughts on stuff and things.
3/6: Good for the historic opening "Fluffhead," a spacey, whale-y "Stash," and a seriously top-shelf "Tweezer."
3/7: Great song choice and flow for this one. Highlights are "Rock and Roll" > "Limb by Limb" and "Ghost."
3/8: Best show of the run, combining the strengths of the first two nights. "Disease" > "Seven Below," "Twist" > "Piper."
5/31: Workmanlike. Nothing to see here but a suddenly stellar "Tweezer."
6/2: Wrote in my notes: "really bad." "If I Could" and and ambient "Hood" are the only highlights.
6/4: Great first set, but not much else. "Ghost" and "Drowned" > "Meatstick."
6/5: Meh. "Twist" > "Piper" is the only highlight.
6/6: Just a nice rock and roll show. No songs worth mentioning.
6/7: Best show of the run, almost for sure. "Fee" and "The Wedge" have outro jams, "Sand" is a monster, "Suzy," "Tweezer" are also highlights.
6/9: Consistent but not amazing. "Number Line" > "Ghost."
6/10: Workmanlike. Nothin'.
6/12: 'Roo 1-set show. "Disease," "Kill Devil Falls," and "YEM" > "Wilson" > "YEM" sandwich are highlights.
6/14: Long, energetic show with no real jams. "Tweezer" > "Horse" > "Silent" and "Rock and Roll" > "Light" are highlights.
6/16: Great, song-based playing. "Halley's" jam!
6/18: Same, but "Tube" jam, and a good "Piper."
6/19: Second best, only bested by Camden. "ASIHTOS" > "Drowned", "Tweezer" > "2001" are highlights.
6/20: Meh. "Ghost" > "The Lizards" and a truncated "YEM" > "NICU" are neat.
6/21: Equal to 6/19 in quality. Great tour closer. "Crosseyed" > "Disease" and "Piper" are awesome (especially "Piper"!). "Frankenstein" ends the tour on a great note.
