Notes sbd&aud - the sound quality of the aud and the sbd are not up to the usual expectations. Half step debuts here. Set 1 has a good (not great) PITB but otherwise its a "going through the motion" performance. Set 2 jam has Truckin > TOO > He's Gone > TOO > LLR. The He's Gone sandwich wasn't done often in this order, so that's notable. But there are many better version of TOO this year compared to this one. It suffers from a lack of flow to me, you've heard the various twists and turns. The NFA > GDTRFB > Bo Diddley is worth checking out with Betts/Oakley from the ABB. They add numerous Mtn Jam teases throughout and maintain a high energy level. The poorer sound quality and abundance of better performances shows from this year means this one is probably skippable for most.
