A Solid Night In Providence
Coming off a smoking hot show in Utica, it seemed probable that the band would wind down a bit for the next show. Providence was certainly no Utica, but it brought upon a solid night of playing. The evening kicked off with a smoking “Down With Disease” that allowed Trey to wail on the ‘doc early. A mid-set “Fluffhead” and the tour’s second “Roses Are Free” were nice additions and well placed. Other standouts included the tour’s first “Rift” and the closing “Julius.”
Set two picked up a bit with a nice version of “Rock & Roll” into “Carini” that saw the band really dive into some exploratory territory. The “Mike’s Groove” that followed was also a set highlight, featuring a lengthy “Sanity” sandwiched in between. The rest of the set built upon that energy, with a fiery “Light” that stretched into the unknown. A funky “2001” and a classic “Loving Cup” ended the set, followed by a killer “First Tube encore.” Next stop…Jamherst!
