First set crate digging lead to some great tunes not normally, or I should say consistently, in rotation… though the 46 days and Antelope were solid exploratory adventures and fun. They were definitely having a great time as a band and that’s always a great time. I’m not a haterade Phan so I enjoy whatever is coming at me in the moment. Not every show is great/amazing in my book, but I also don’t walk out of most shows thinking they were bad. Not everyone will enjoy the first set like I did, and that’s okay.

Second set was a monster. The Ghost started smooth and low key, amplifying as they charged forward. Full type II dark wizard jam with some amazing twists and turns! Fantastic Ghost. Soul Planet was epic. Nine times out of ten I pick Ghost over Soul Planet but this jam was incredible. This was the highlight of second set for me.

Trey was very clearly, and for an extended period of time, teasing The Doors - Peace Frog around the 23 minute mark.

The Billy Breathes was the perfect cool down only to heat it all back up with a beautifully deconstructed and wild Melt. It knocked out last Sunday’s Melt which I thought was clearly the best part of night 3 Alpine.

A beautiful Slave to close out the weekend with the kindest regards about their love of Deer Creek.
