funkalunk Well I'm on the train home, what better way to pass the time than jotting down first impressions on my phone.

Set 1:
The surprise Free opener was solid, nothing too extraordinary, but solid. This is (mostly) a recurring theme here. Every song in this list was a pretty good reading, but few went above/beyond. Luckily, a few did! Gin got crazy at the end, oh hell, was crazy the whole time, and Contact always puts a smile on my face. (Though I'm just being biased)

A rocking set, but nothing to write home about.

Set 2:
Birds through R&R was an absolute ride that was over in a blink. They just could not stop rocking, and were having a blast. (Sidenote: Was very close to Page (Rage side), and never noticed how much of a goof/ham he is until now. So awesome!) Sadly the rest of the set simply petered out, but maybe this is my pure hatred of Bug talking. Who knows?

E:
Two awesome songs that rocked like they always do, and the inevitable Tweprise. They delivered here.

Well night one was a blast, have a few more ahead of us.

Disclaimer: Yes, this is written not an hour post-show. Yes, my thoughts will change with repeated listenings. This is just a time capsule for my own benefit to compare with later feelings.

Enjoy the run guys!
