"The show starts out powerful with Zooma leading the way. About 2 minutes into the song, the volume drops a bit, and works it way back up back to its original point during Goose. Goose and Grind exhibit some distortion on the bass guitar. JPJ makes a comment after Grind about "it's great when computers do what you want them to do," so I believe the distortion was due to a pedal or something on the mixing board. Jones has feedback problems during Going To California, but a lovely solo nonetheless. His introduction of Nobody's Fault But Mine: "THIS one you're gonna like." Smoking version of NFBM! The triple-neck acoustic solo is awesome. He actually lays down his backing tracks with each neck, then digitally loops them over each other while he plays a solo! At first he has trouble getting the loop pedals to work like he wants them to, so he stops playing and adjusts his pedals (all while making funny JPJ comments). Crackback, and it sounds like Jones is having the bass distortion he had at the beginning of the show. Love that riff though! The distortion gets fixed during Bass N Drums, which features naughty bits of Heartbreaker and Ramble On. The rest of the show proceeds without incident. The one-two punch ending of When The Levee Breaks and Tidal kicks major ass. Two encores, Trampled Under Foot and Black Dog, are well received by the crowd. The slide guitar started to wear on me during Black Dog, and I wasn't a big fan of Jonesy's keyboard sound for No Quarter and Trampled, but they are nice to hear. Great show!"
