2014-07-03 SPAC I

The Verdict:
The second show of the summer picks up where the strong playing (and jamming!) of the first show left off. The first set is a great mix of new and old first-set style songs, bolstered by an extra jolt of whatever it is that makes those tried-and-true first set tunes still sparkle after fifty or three hundred plays. "Farmhouse" is a bit of a surprise in the opening slot, I'm glad to hear that "Yarmouth Road" is still getting played, "Devotion To a Dream" is growing into a "Heavy Things" or "Jibboo"-esque mini-jam live, and "Strange Design" takes the rarity slot. The pairing of "Mound" and "Roggae" is a great idea, and this "Ocelot" trumps my distaste for the song by heading into a bit of a blissful jam space instead of going the usual blues-rock route.

The second set is a monster in the mold of 7/1's latter half. So far, Phish has been including the typical single "big" jam in each second set, but have started surrounding it with more clever segues and short-but-effective jams than they did in, say, '11 or '12. The thing is that they can get so deep so fast nowadays that filling the second set with 12 and 14 minute songs might not look, on paper, as good as a 35 minute jam, but many of these jams get more mileage than their minute-age let on. It's true here, for sure.

"Gin" seems a strange choice to open the set, but it delivers on its promise by heading into Type II funk territory that oddly resembles "Waiting All Night" before switching to an ambient space that sets up a great segue into "Limb By Limb." This "Limb" also goes Type II, heading to a dark space that is inundated with Trey loops before segueing into "Winterqueen." "Winterqueen" and "The Line" both feature nice little rock and roll mini-jams as outros and keep the energy of the set rolling along. Then there's a late-set "Tweezer" that, like the "Limb" is short but manages to cover a number of different, very satisfying jamlets before dissolving into a pedestrian take on "Caspian." The rest of the set is pretty standard, but we've got three legitimate jams here and some thoroughly enjoyable takes on a few new songs. For my money, this show easily tops 7/1. Onward and upward!

The Live Review:
7/3/14: Farmhouse opener? Well, even if S1s are getting played mostly straight still, at least the song choices are interesting.

7/3/14: Wolfman's in the two-slot. Dives straight into some clav-heavy funk.

7/3/14: Like the placement for Maze.

7/3/14: Woo! Glad to see that Yarmouth Road hasn't fallen by the wayside.

7/3/14: Trey's outro solo is not great, but still a treat to hear.

7/3/14: Strange Design next!

7/3/14: Actually love the studio Devotion b/c of the 'overproduced' sound. But the live versions so far have been great, too.

7/3/14: Ocelot next. So far, the set's fun, but nothing remarkable. Liked the mini-extended take on Devotion.

7/3/14: Ocelot jam is actually sort of neat. Veering into bliss-rock territory instead of the usual blues vamp.

7/3/14: Weird to hear a short version of CDT, after the recent monsters.

7/3/14: Like the pairing of Mound, Roggae.

7/3/14: Page and Mike doing a lot of the heavy lifting on this Roggae. Trey keeps trying to derail them with some spotting whale pedal.

7/3/14: Page heavy again on Possum. Great stuff!

7/3/14: Bathtub Gin is an unexpected opener for S2. Even the crowd seems confused.

7/3/14: Developing this a bit more than it usually gets in its S1 slot.

7/3/14: Still Type I, but building up a hell of a momentum.

7/3/14: Nevermind. We just peaked and then went funk Type II. (11:00).

7/3/14: Sounds like a fast, funk version of Waiting All Night. If that makes any sense.

7/3/14: Ambient-ish space > LxL.

7/3/14: Oh boy. Looks like Limb might be going Type II.

7/3/14: This jam has hit about three distinct spaces in four minutes, all of them good. Now it's a sort of dark, rolling thing.

7/3/14: Trey is looping over this madness like crazy.

7/3/14: This is the weirdest thing I've heard Phish play (for more than 45 seconds) in a long time.

7/3/14: Nice > Winterqueen.

7/3/14: Wow. Great, rock and roll outro jam to Winterqueen. Makes me not even miss the horns :)

7/3/14: Page leading The Line outro jam now. These new songs lead so well into these neat little rock and
roll outro bits. Keep 'em coming.

7/3/14: Oh boy. You know how I feel about late-set Tweezers.

7/3/14: We're getting some dark-stadium-funk here. Not sure if that makes sense either.

7/3/14: Trey's picked up a cool riff and is running with it.

7/3/14: I don't have any half-cocked adjectival trainwrecks to describe what the band is doing right now, but the interplay is incredible.

7/3/14: Slick, natural segue into Caspian.

7/3/14: Quick version of Caspian, > Sparkle. Sparkle seems like an odd choice for late-set action.

7/3/14: And it's the 'Lope to close set two. How often does that happen nowadays?

7/3/14: Standard Antelope, but after most of that set, I'm not complaining.

7/3/14: Sing Monica is one of those songs that lends itself more to that overproduced album sound than the live setting.

7/3/14: Still nice in the encore slot, though. Still sounds like Tuesday.


7/3/14: Tweeprise to close, of course. Great second set.

2014-07-01 Xfinity Center

The Verdict:
What we have here is a heck of a tour opener. The first set especially is Fuego-heavy, as you might expect, but the new songs play well with the old. While none of them go deep, "Fuego," "Halfway To the Moon," "Wingsuit" and "555" are all energetic variations on their studio versions. "Wingsuit" is especially solid, with the (slightly) extended jam at the end adding extra punch to the song. The oldies are all played competently as well, with "Stash" even getting a short little bliss jam that's above and beyond the usual 3.0 treatment.

The second set is mostly made up of a unique Mike's Groove that runs from "Mike's" > "Simple" to a better-than-average "Free," a first-time-sandwich "Waiting All Night," and then a "Ghost" that packs a huge wallop for its short running time and then ends in a brilliant Fish-driven segue into "Weekapaug." The centerpiece of the set, though, is really the late "Hood," which is 18 minutes of jamming in a style that's reminiscent of the best parts of late summer '13 and fall '13. This is that turn-on-a-dime, wide-open jamming that the band excelled at last year, and it's back in spades. This is an easy tour highlight, and it's only the first show. Things are looking up.

The Live Review:
7/1/14: Stealing Time seems like an odd choice for a summer tour opener with a new album just out. But there it is.

7/1/14: Stealing Time = totally standard.

7/1/14: Ooh, Fuego at number two. Great to hear these songs live, but strange at the same time that they're lacking the studio polish.

7/1/14: Weird to say that about a Phish album as if it's a bad thing, but that is just a damn well-made album.

7/1/14: Viking warriors with animal heads.

7/1/14: Fuego is played pretty by-the-book. The BOTT that follows has a little extra swagger to it, though. More full-band than just Trey.

7/1/14: Halfway To the Moon! This and 555 are probably my album favorites.

7/1/14: Trey just did a neat harmonic-style fill at the end of the first verse that I don't think is on the album.

7/1/14: Solid live version of the song, all told.

7/1/14: It's fun to see how the old songs mix with the new. The Wedge is next.

7/1/14: The Wedge gets a slightly extended jam, as seems to be a trend lately. The guys are sounding pretty
tight for a night one.

7/1/14: Hell yes. 555.

7/1/14: Much faster tempo than the album version. I like it.

7/1/14: Stash is next. Maybe we'll get a first set jam?

7/1/14: Neat, seamless transition into a brief blissed-out section in this Stash. Major key (I think).

7/1/14: Okay, yeah, this has turned into a legit jam. Wow. That happened fast. We're like half a set into summer.

7/1/14: Bouncin' is a nice interlude. Next: Birds of a Feather.

7/1/14: Birds sounds a bit more democratic than usual, too. Trey doing some interesting chording, Page is sort of leading the charge.

7/1/14: Wingsuit to close S1. That drop into the outro jam is just the best thing. Can't wait to hear it live.

7/1/14: Great to hear that jam extended just a little bit, too. Though at some point soon, it's gonna go DEEEEEEEP

7/1/14: Second set starts with Mike's.

7/1/14: Drop into the jam here is a lot funkier than usual. No sign of Trey until about 30-45 seconds in.

7/1/14: No second jam in the first Mike's of the year, at least :)

7/1/14: Appreciate the classic > Simple, though.

7/1/14: Really solid, though short Simple jam. Usual style, but departing into something spacier in last two minutes.

7/1/14: Fish with a jazzy beat, everyone else is in ambient mode.

7/1/14: Pretty tasty segue into Free. The first true test of '14 Phish. Will Free be slow and boring?! Let's find out!

7/1/14: Okay, that was somewhere between a 1.0 Free and a 3.0 Free. But not a 2.0 Free. Good, though.

7/1/14: Long pause, then Waiting All Night.

7/1/14: Trey's expanding a bit melodically on the middle part of the song.

7/1/14: Ghost next! The opening seems heavier on the clav than usual. Early jam is slow, exploratory.

7/1/14: This is a really interesting space, and they got there without the obligatory 6-7 minutes of Trey noodling.

7/1/14: If 2014 turns out to be the year of the Instant Jam, I will do the opposite of loudly complaining.

7/1/14: Oh. Awesome, AWESOME segue out of the Ghost into Groove. Holy hell, I'm sorry I missed that one live.

7/1/14: Super funky take on Groove here. Seems like Fish is driving the jam direction a lot more than in the past. In a good way.

7/1/14: Harry Hood just immediately went out into left field, in a really good way. Super-spacey jam. Hollywood Hood reprise?

7/1/14: Jam sounds like a Round Room outtake.

7/1/14: Maybe this show has been a bit jam-lite, but I'm stoked to see a marquee jam show up near the end of the show.

7/1/14: As opposed to in the first and/or second slot in S2, like every other show since 2004.

7/1/14: Wow, that was some serious late summer '13/fall '13 jamming there. Easily on par with the Hollywood Hood. Slamming away on Cavern.

7/1/14: A typically swinging Julius to close.

7/1/14: Overall, this was a great tour opener. Consistently good playing, excellent set construction, good use of new songs.

7/1/14: Pretty much constant energy throughout, some interesting little jamlets (Stash, Simple, Ghost), and of course that Hood. THAT HOOD.

2010-08-05 Greek Theater I

The Verdict:
I don't know what it is about west coast shows, but this is probably my favorite show of the year so far. I've had some trouble finding things to like in many of the Fall '09 and Summer I '10 shows, but this sounds more like the Summer II '09 and Miami NYE Phish that was so fun to listen to last year.

S1 is absolutely pure energy, especially from Trey. This is one of those Trey-dominated shows where he's so on fire that it actually makes the show better that he's running everyone else off the stage. The whole first set is good, but the easy highlights are Wolfman's and KDF.

S2 continues the uninterrupted shredding (even Joy has a bit of a serious outro, that's how intense the energy is here). But there are a few legit jams here in case just having your face melted off isn't enough for you. The "Disease" > "Free" segment that starts the set is one of the best pieces of Phish music of the year so far (which might not sound like I'm saying much, but I am, because this is awesome). Then the "Tweezer" follows up on the early 3.0s tradition of great late-set "Tweezers."

So, yes. Check this show out at all costs. Can't wait for the rest of the run.

Live Review:
8/5/10: Well, Summer II just got kicked off with a pitch-perfect Possum.

8/5/10: Funky as all get-out Wolfman's in the two spot. Clav action, vocal-scat harmonies, and now a slinky Type I solo.

8/5/10: This Wolfman's is going on the highlight reel for Summer II. First entry. Just filthy.

8/5/10: And we roll right into DSky from there...I love where this is going so far.

8/5/10: Great solo after DSky, too. The guys really sound reinvigorated. Whether that leads to actual jams remains to be seen.

8/5/10: Right after DSky on the SBD, someone (Page?) says 'Bitch?' in this really weird tone of voice. Then, Funky Bitch.

8/5/10: I like to imagine he was trying to start a fight with Fish.

8/5/10: And we just didn't hear the 'You really wanna step to this' part of the sentence.

8/5/10: Funky Bitch keeps the energy-ball rolling. Trey is really playing way better than his was during leg 1, at least tonight.

8/5/10: Very intentionally melodic solo in KDF, too. High energy, but with direction at the same time. Looking good.

8/5/10: Long pause after KDF. Maybe they're refueling MegaTrey with jet fuel?

8/5/10: Nah, they were just firing up Mike's 'Boo-bop' Machine. Halley's!

8/5/10: Trey just slam-banged the shortest, most concise-yet-effective Halley's solo ever into Sample. Pretty cool, actually.

8/5/10: The rest of the band just fucking flying past him when he slammed the brakes on was funny, too.

8/5/10: This would be your usual well-constructed, by-the-numbers Summer '10 S1, but Trey is a goddamn hurricane. It is amazing.

8/5/10: NICU, Bouncin' is a nice breather BUT I DON'T NEED A BREATHER I'M SITTING IN AN OFFICE CHAIR

8/5/10: Antelope polishes off the set in style. That's, what, the trillionth Antelope S1 closer since Hampton?

8/5/10: Trey noodling around Call To the Post to start the second set, Mike kicks up DWD feedback during.

8/5/10: We're about halfway through the DWD opener here and it's all just gorgeous, intentional Type I jamming so far.

8/5/10: Heading in an almost blues-rock direction now.

8/5/10: Sort-of Talking Heads section following. This is the real deal, here.

8/5/10: Great outro jamlet, with some syncopation from Fish and space-piano from Page. Space Everything!

8/5/10: Top it all off with a GREAT segue into Free. Why is west coast tour always so much better than east coast/midwest?

8/5/10: This sounds like a totally different band from Summer I.

8/5/10: As Trey starts up Alaska, I'm pretty sure you can hear a fan on SBD yell 'Oh, GODDAMMIT!' If so, it's hilarious.

8/5/10: Though I pick on Alaska, this version is better than most, thanks to yet more precise Trey shredding.

8/5/10: Trey is killing this BOTT, too. Wowzers.

8/5/10: Late-set Maze is a surprise choice.

8/5/10: Well, that Maze definitely didn't suffer energy-wise for being late in the show. The intensity of this show is ridiculous.

8/5/10: And right after I tweet that: Joy. INTENSITY

8/5/10: Oh dear. Trey is even trying to shred Joy. And it's sort of working. CAN HE BE STOPPED NO RUN

8/5/10: Oh boy. Late S2 Tweezers have been pretty much all amazing so far in 3.0. High hopes for this maybe-monster.

8/5/10: Mike taking the early lead in the jam. Trey staying back. Page adding flavor.

8/5/10: Trey building a nice riff now. The whole thing is really minimalist so far. Very cool.

8/5/10: This is seriously good. Trey's solo is one of those that sounds composed, sort of like 12/31/95 Reba.

8/5/10: Not saying it's AS GOOD AS the Reba, just reminds me of it in that way.

8/5/10: Now Trey closing the jam with a weird mutation of the Tweezer riff. One of my favorite all-Type I jams in a long time.

8/5/10: Page shifting over to the No Quarter organ. Brief space section -> Fluffhead.

8/5/10: Fluffhead is a pretty great S2 closer, I must say.


8/5/10: Trey explaining the origins of the Ocedoc. This is apparently the first show with it. Explains Trey's shredding possession tonight.

8/5/10: Finishes up with a fiery Loving Cup, Tweeprise. Great show.

2010-07-04 Alpharetta II

Verdict:
S1 is another very oldies-centric affair, and it's just as effective as 7/3's S1 for that reason. "PYITE," "Colonel Forbin's," and "Mockingbird" are all early highlights. "Camel Walk" shows up, too. "Bowie" > "Jibboo" might be a legitimate pick for the highlight reel.


Phish - 7/4/10 "Gotta Jibboo" from Phish on Vimeo.

S2 is one of the best second sets of tour. Depends on your enthusiasm for Phish gimmickry, I guess. The "DWD" > "Piper" > "Ghost" combo isn't as awesome as it sounds on paper, but it's a quality run of songs by early 2010, Type II-less standards. There's a quick breather before a roundhouse of a "Mike's" followed by "Tela," and the infamous "Killing in the Name" sandwich with "Harpua" for the bread. The set proper ends with a "Groove" that's as fiery as the "Mike's," and "First Tube" ends the leg in its entirety.

Live Review:
7/4/10: Alright, and we're back in the recent past. 7/4 a capella Star-Spangled Banner opener. Nice.

7/4/10: PYITE is one of my favorite openers. Even in my office, over headphones, it gets me bouncing.

7/4/10: Colonel Forbin's! Maybe this is going to follow 7/3's footsteps as an oldies-based first set?

7/4/10: That PYITE was extra-punchy, if you don't mind me saying.

7/4/10: Famous Mockingbird was a bit rough around the edges (as per usual in 3.0), but is always a joy anyway.

7/4/10: Also, the more older, composed songs played the less possibility of whale-jamming!

7/4/10: Camel Walk is next up.

7/4/10: Next is OCELOT. You all know how I feel about OCELOT. Actually, this version is a little meatier than your usual version.

7/4/10: Page is a monster in Heavy Things. Short but definitely sweet piano break there.

7/4/10: MFMF after Heavy Things. Setlist choices getting a little more random, but I'm still having fun.

7/4/10: High-tempo Bowie to polish off S1.

7/4/10: Trey putting the whale to GOOD use here in this Bowie.

7/4/10: Now that was just a feel-good Bowie all the way around. Trey liked it so much that he just started up Jibboo.

7/4/10: Everyone else sounded surprised. I think they were planning on setbreak right there.

7/4/10: This Jibboo is pretty Mike-heavy. Or at least it's pretty pocket-heavy. Page and Trey are both minimalizing.

7/4/10: Trey's slowly shouldering his way up to the front of the jam here.

7/4/10: Extended ending here that definitely goes beyond the call of shredding-duty.

7/4/10: DWD S2 opener.

7/4/10: The first nine minutes of this DWD are just totally joyful, whale-less Type I rock, then there's a smooth switch to space-funk.

7/4/10: Space-funk is breaking up as Trey is chording arrhythmically with a super-weird distorted tone. Mike with syncopated bass.

7/4/10: That section lasts for about a minute until Trey lays the opening riff to Piper over it. Mike seems reluctant to end the bass-runs.

7/4/10: Piper gets good around 5:30, making an effortless transition back into space-funk.

7/4/10: No funk-filler here, though. Mike's leading the way and Page and Trey are adding spacey effects.

7/4/10: Now Trey adding melody in an Oysterhead-type tone in a high register.

7/4/10: Trey pulls the opening to Ghost out of a loop jam. Can't tell if I should be mad b/c of ripcording or happy b/c lots of mini-jams.

7/4/10: Trey's latched on to a riff in this Ghost that sounds a bit like a slowed-down Manteca.

7/4/10: Sometimes 2010 Summer I sounds like an alternate-future #phish where they never started Type II jamming, but got really good anyway.

7/4/10: Fish drives this all the way to the end, and then we get a neat wind-down ending courtesy of Page.

7/4/10: Trey with a hilariously nasty lyrical biff at the beginning of Waste. Finally: 'Don't wanna be...somethin'.'

7/4/10: It's cheesy as hell, but I love that signature Waste bass riff from Gordo.

7/4/10: 'This set is so good, what can we play that'll piss Ben off? Oh, that's right! Julius!!'

7/4/10: Okay, gotta admit that was a hot Julius. Could probably work to end the set there, but no! > Mike's!

7/4/09: This Mike's is hotter than an elephant ear at the fair. Whatever the hell that means.

7/4/09: Bang-up Mike's > TELA

7/4/09: Harpua (!) follows Tela. Hilariously confusing story from Trey about an ancient American who hates modern society.

7/4/09: Which of course leads into the Killing in the Name cover. Which is awesome.

7/4/09: I love Fish on the vocals for Killing in the Name. Great follow-up Harpua > Groove.

7/4/10: Whoops, last few tweets should be '10, not '09, obviously.

7/4/10: Summer I going out on a strong note. Sort of like a show with a great opening song and a great
encore.

7/4/10: But everything in the middle was pretty boring, honestly. Almost everything. Looking forward to Summer II though. THE GREEK

7/4/10: Mike's and Groove have both been pretty notable Trey Shreds moments in a summer full of 'em.

7/4/10: Fan on SBD screaming 'Play an encore, PLEASE!!! Just one more!' First show, maybe? I think he'll get his wish...


7/4/10: I like First Tube as a tour closer. Provided that there's a lot of feedback and they open next tour with Last Tube.

2010-07-03 Alpharetta I

Verdict:
The first set is the typically well-played, well-constructed set we've gotten (almost too) used to throughout this tour, made even a bit more effective than usual thanks to "Zero" opener and a set of rare and older songs that shift it from a "If you like these songs..." sort of affair to a "Since you definitely like these songs..." sort of affair.

The S2-opening "Rock and Roll" jam is forgettable, following the tired old early-3.0 jam template as it does. The easy highlight of the show, though is "Caspian" > "Tweezer." "Caspian" gets off to a slow, whaley start but quickly moves into a loop-filled nearly-percussion-free space that highlights Trey and Mike's collective melodic playing for some of the more interesting exploration thus far this summer. The "Tweezer" is not exploratory at all, but it's no slouch, and a segue into a cleverly mellow and melodic "Slave" doesn't hurt, either.

Overall, though, despite some excellent setlist choices, the show is sabotaged a bit by its predictability (at this point in the tour) and over-reliance on the whale pedal (seriously, it's an effect, not a consistent tone).

Review:
7/3/10: Alright, time for the last run of Summer I in Alpharetta!

7/3/10: Zero as show opener. I think I vastly prefer it as an opener than a closer. Except at Gorge '13, of course.

7/3/10: Actually, I might take that back. Zero as a slower, warm-up song is a little weird.

7/3/10: 1,000th tweet for what I believe is the second Destiny Unbound of 3.0 (first on was Gorge '09).

7/3/10: Wow. Trey usually botches Rift, but this was above and beyond. He dropped out completely for a good 30 seconds at one point.

7/3/10: Rough start to McGrupp (!), but a nice Page-led, salsa-jazz style jam in the middle makes up for it.

7/3/10: Early(ish) Gin. Trey singing along with Page's piano.

7/3/10: This Gin is extended and blessedly empty of whale pedal (for the most part). Trey slowly easing into his usual solid shredding.

7/3/10: Follow-up with Mountains in the Mist. The usual great set construction, but with a rarities flavor. Liking it so far.

7/3/10: Mountains in the Mist is pretty much made for a whale solo, but I've heard it used so much lately there's no novelty to it.

7/3/10: NICU next, with a solo from 'Leon.'

7/3/10: Gumbo, and My Sweet One with a 'bluegrass bass' solo from Mike.

7/3/10: As is becoming usual, there's no outstanding moments in this set, but it's solid front-to-back so far (minus some Rift issues).

7/3/10: Stealing Time was a pretty strong mixture of whale-jamming and normal rock shredding.

7/3/10: Strange Design! I know I usually talk up the great song choices in these 2010 S1s, but this one is extra great.

7/3/10: Good mix of rarities and older songs, with the occasional, well-placed newer song.

7/3/10: SANITY! Trey gets the lyrics for the second verse from the audience. Some particularly insane
laughter between verses.

7/3/10: Yes, I just reviewed the quality of the laughter in Sanity.

7/3/10: What else do you close a mostly-oldies S1 with? Antelope, of course.

7/3/10: S2 kicks off with Rock and Roll. Pretty standard Type I business with a few Mike and Page flourishes thrown in for good measure.

7/3/10: Last minute of the jam transitions into the tried-and-true distorted space-funk that pops up so often in these early 3.0 jams.

7/3/10: Quick segue into Caspian.

7/3/10: Trey's putting the whale pedal to decent effect here in Caspian.

7/3/10: Mellows out around 6:00, Trey starts up some guitar loops.

7/3/10: Fish has dropped out completely, maybe Mike too.

7/3/10: Really neat jam space here. Would love about ten minutes of this.

7/3/10: That's okay, a > Tweezer is a good enough consolation prize :)

7/3/10: Some serious funk riffage from Trey and Mike in the early bit of this Tweezer.

7/3/10: Wow. This Tweezer doesn't go anywhere weird, but it's a perfect funk-rock, 'standard' version. Really, really solid.

7/3/10: Oh, and if that wasn't enough, we end with a great little fade-out -> Slave.

7/3/10: Great, super mellow Slave jam with a 45 second (?) sustained note from Trey.

7/3/10: Bouncin' now. Great Caspian > Tweezer -> Slave, but I think that might be it for the jamming for the night.

7/3/10: Perfectly serviceable late-set Possum, followed by Number Line.

7/3/10: Number Line's good, too, albeit a bit too whaley. I just get a little frustrated when S2s coast to a stop like this, I guess.

7/3/10: Really great Trey and Mike interplay at the beginning of this Hood jam.

7/3/10: Really great melodic playing, similar to the earlier Slave.

7/3/10: Really great Really great aaaagh I'm tweeting too much about shows that all sort of sound the same help

7/3/10: The whale is seriously calling here at the peak of this Hood.

7/3/10: Very similar to the Slave: great, mellow melodic build, but then a messy, disjointed peak.

7/3/10: Trey's bringing the house down on this Loving Cup, too. Maybe I should give up and accept the Summer of Shredding.
