West coast kickoff. First 1500+ show in S.F. Loads of energy. Band is on full tilt. Probably the best show of the U.S. run. Justin lights up Flood on Rhodes. JT and Nate set up the outro. Chris gets dirty on Binky. Maz takes his time and things erupt. Mark steps out. Opus Pocus, Busta, and loads of quirk on the outro. Jay burns on Kite. Justin stretches and plays some amazing stuff on Rhodes. JT plays his ass off on Outlier. Amazing stuff from Chris alternating between effects and clean tone. One of the best solo sections of the tour. Maz takes it way out on Thing of Gold. Shaun reels it back in. Beautiful organ outro. Bob gets some encouraging from Shaun on What About Me? and starts reflectively before things take off. Bob at his best. Justin and Shaun throw in some new wrinkles as JT barrels through the drum solo. The crowd turns up for Shofukan with some prodding from Shaun. Lyrical stuff from Justin on trumpet before some rhythmic jousting with Michael and JT. Nate and JT go ham on the outro. Shaun sneaks in P-Funk and Snoop, things morph into a slow, funky Quarter Master. Shaun moves to the talkbox. Then organ. Straight funk. The band takes it home with a hymn.
