Despite fighting against a very ambient room, one of the better shows of the tour thus far. Cory owns this one. Skate U hits a serious groove. Justin and Chris start things off beautifully. Maz solos for the first time on Outlier. Justin takes a rare solo on Kite, and Bill stretches on the outro. Whitecap is all about Cory. Crazy reharmonizations followed by a soulful, expressive solo. Bass and audience intro on Celebrity, with Mark running through the sonic gamete and Maz toying with a vocal solo at the end. Marcelo and Chris get into some new stuff on the intro to Tio Macaco. Cory turns the room out with an extended, emotional solo on Lingus- unquestionably the band’s favorite to date. Bill changes the tone on the encore with a long, beautiful intro to Ready Wednesday. Crazy, funky solo section with Chris and Michael weaving between each other. Overall, one of the more inspired performances of the tour.
