This was my first show after starting my new job. I went to the city to see my sister who had recently run the Chicago Marathon. I met up with Doc and we walked over to our friend Steve's apartment in Wicker Park. It was pouring down rain. We found a parking spot downtown and ate at a restaurant near the venue. I purchased the Jim Pollack poster. It was disappointing that the prints were still wet. Before the show I saw a lot of the usual Chicago Phish people. The sound was really poor on the first level. Garry Brown should have been able to do better than that. After a couple songs I moved up to the balcony where it sounded better.
This version of TAB sounded good but it was void of any risk taking whatsoever. The new Traveler material made the evening interesting for me. I liked seeing Trey on the red Fender for Corona. Frost seems like it could work as a Phish ballad. It was cool to see Pigtail with TAB after seeing it first with Phish in Worcester 2010. Sand was the highlight of the set and featured some nasty licks.
Alive Again is a song from his self titled album I've always enjoyed. Ooh Child made the night for me. MLC was a highlight in the second set. Architect seems to confirms rumors of Trey becoming more religious in recent years. Plasma was the highlight of the show. Great version. I could have done without Magilla and the Charlie Daniels cover. The Way I Feel is one of my favs from the Trey solo canon. I liked hearing Goodbye Head with this lineup. Without stopping they started up First Tube to end the set. At the Gazebo put me in the mind of Summer 2001 when that material was still fresh. Traveler had some trademark Trey noodlings in the live setting. I like the Tom Marshall even if you stand still you are traveling too. This was my 13th time seeing Trey outside of Phish and was an enjoyable experience. Postshow music was "Baby What A Big Surprise" by Chicago.
