“Tweezer” 8.31 II

This late-set surprise completely blew up as Trey prominently featured his Camden ’09 “Tweezer” lick plucked from Led Zeppelin’s “When the Levee Breaks.”

“Sand” 8.30 II

This jam provided the centerpiece of night one; the best version in a light summer for “Sand.”

“Chalk Dust Torture” 8.31 II

The jam of the weekend at Dick’s—a multi-thematic monster anchored by the morphing rhythms of Jon Fishman.

“Stash” 8.30 I

Though not quite on the level of Merriweather’s gem, this version elevates beyond the norm.

“Carini” 9.1 II

A feel-good jam to cap a feel-good summer.

“Caspian > Piper” 9.1 II

The second consecutive, out-of-character Denver “Caspian” segued, unfinished into a hot “Piper.”

“Ocelot” 8.30 I

This was the jam with which the weekend began to elevate; my favorite version of the three thousand played this year.

***

“Bathtub Gin” 8.31 I

A straightforward, though peaked-out and inspirational “Gin.”

“Say Something > Walls of the Cave” 8.30 II

It didn’t take long for the band to place “Say Something” in the second set. Look for big things from this jam come fall tour.
