Re: *** Official Florida 2016 ***
Tape from last night is up on dreamingtree. I thought the show started a little wonky, with 4 short ones in a row, followed by Death on the High Seas, which I liked better than last year but am still not a fan of, but the pace definitely picked up after that, and the songs started stretching to appropriate lengths. Last Stop was the clear highlight: the tightest, punchiest version I've ever heard, sounding very much like winter '98 (minus Bela Fleck): Tim's dropped that high-pitched riff that he had been doing in 2010, and the song just crushed it. Encore left a lot to be desired--a third song really would have helped--but they were pushing it with the Friday curfew. I haven't followed the tour at all, so everything was a nice surprise to me, one way or the other. Nothing I heard really disappointed me, and the crowd was great--seriously, I saw no one acting like an asshole the entire night, just 19,000 people having a beautiful evening.
