AWESOME AWESOME AMAZING ICONIC SHOW.

hearing the river, sleep drifter, nuclear fusion, and honey live KILLED ME. however i was revived by ambrose kenny smith's insanely powerful straws-in-the-wind swagger and also probably from the food he threw all over us. it's okay, i forgive him because he was super cool doing it. 

when the sun wasn't behind the enormous mountains, it attacked us so relentlessly that joey(and later stu) had to go shirtless. amby was visibly melting.

i couldn't see cavs well but he fucking KILLED it on the gaia solo and just in general. i love him. cookie and lucas were kinda in the shadows but they were visibly acing it. 

stu seems to fuck up the trapdoor flute solo a lot these days. i forgive him.

even though they apologized about it beforehand, it was hilarious to see them all forget the lyrics to crumbling castle and laugh about it on stage.

some amazing variety in the songs! magma was a super cool closer choice.

the ONE thing i didn't like was all the smoking around me but you can't help that lol.

OVERALL THE VIBE WAS AMAZING. they thanked us a couple times through the show and it was very nice :) unforgettable show!!!

Folks were instantly claiming this as the hottest show of all time. Two years later and it's still tough to argue with them. Infused with extreme UV, Palp sounds like many eras at once, simultaneously channeling the humid psych grooves of FAFYL and Quarters, the delirious prog of 2017, and the laser-focused, nimble jamming of 2022 and 2023, often in the same song or same moment. The band is locked in yet unbounded, flawless until they fuck up, laugh it off, and dig even deeper, sprinting warp speed through the finish line. Words words words - it's an understatement to call this essential. Clear your schedule and queue it up.
