wow. just great.
with the way the opening jam built and built it sounded like they had something to prove. cmss was good. synergy was a surprise, i was wondering if it was gonna just fade away, glad it didn\'t and i\'m also glad it didn\'t segue into anything. just a strong well played version. only cuz they play it so much, chris i\'m assuming you\'ll correct me if i\'m wrong, only like 394 times and counting, i get that, "ooooh, not AGAIN," feeling, well i felt it again, but it was short lived thanks to how good it was. classic version. hlh was it\'s usual incredulous self i\'m happy to say, just filthy.
2nd set....
after a seemingly endless sca, rufus immediately got our attention and once it got going or should i say, ready for the next level, it went into...scheme!?!? wtf!?!? talk about making a statement, fuckin\' powerful and great to see. i can\'t tell you all the times that i, "swear i heard a sundance tease," in the past, so obviously i thought this time was no different, it seemed unmistakable this time that i was actually hearing it though. so when dsnumbers started to come my way i was like, "wonder what he\'s gonna say..." he puts his hand on my shoulder and without looking at each other we both confidently say, "sundance," and he walks off. like a minute later and still surprising us, it began.
****, did it ever. it really sounded as if they never stopped playing it, well, i guess it wasn\'t as long as i thought, bill said it was a year and a half, i wasn\'t there, so maybe that\'s why it seemed like forever. i guess it really was triumphant as chris said. just one of the best songs they play, it really does have an incredible finish, doesn\'t it bill.
****. back to the craziness with a ferocious bass and drum or whatever you wanna call it. then a really, really bouncy, dancable drum solo that paved the way for a very dramatic end to scheme. completely knocked us on our asses. then rufus picked up as flawlessly as the rest of the show up until that point, exactly where it left off, then it went on to peak like 4 or 5 times before finally ending...
what a set. i hate the term, "best ever," so i won\'t say it...
shakedown was a nice encore. it really got pretty crazy towards the end which was a bit out of the songs, "character," if you will, well at least in my opinion. the double encore was more than appropriate considering the monster of a show that preceded.
now to be overly dramatic and prove just how little of a life i have.
i went over to the side behind jordan to watch him during the chase, and i got chills, i thought a few times, "holy
****, is jordan really back?" and "i can\'t believe i\'m watching this, i never thought i\'d see this again."
gonna be tough to top this one. instant classic.
to steal a page from paul\'s book, chris\'s line of the night on the way home: "so, do you sell a lot of eggnog here?"
