Review by Bootchmagoo

Bootchmagoo Going to be listening to all of Fall 98 in order - will be reviewing each show. Not much of a creative writer and these are mostly for me anyways.

Set1: Pretty standard first set, not really anything special for the first half or so. Decent playing by Trey on Llama but then they slow it down into LXL, Driver, Sleep, Frankie Says....super weird song placement as another reviewer said. Standard BoaF which leads us to the best part of set 1. Super solid version of McGrupp that starts to get pretty creative towards the end jam. Zero closer to bring us into setbreak.

Set2/encore: Starts off with a pretty standard Possum with some solid playing from Trey but next is where the magic starts to happen. Moma is awesome, super bouncy with Mike leading the charge. One of the better versions in my opinion from 98 (Gorge and Deer Creek better though IMO). Reba > Walk Away > Simple the highlight of the show - Reba starts with some ambient space and continues to build then finally releases towards the end. Super creative interplay from the whole band on this one then into a rockin Walk Away. Rest of the show is pretty standard IMO with a Beatles tune taboot for the encore (im a sucker for the fab 4).

3.5/5 for me
