How grateful I am that they had the streaming experience dialed in for this show. I attended both nights of FH, and Im basically waiting for Stu to release the official SBDs from those shows to relisten to them because the streaming was rough at the beginning. Not so here. The Northerly Marathon also flows like the DMB shit laden waters of their river, where FH had some awkward pauses and general rust they were working through. dont get me wrong, the FH shows were great and I'll get to writing a review for them eventually, but after a couple relistens I am ready to put Northerly at least at the level of RR3 in terms of their marathon shows. I want to give it the edge simply because of how expanded the music selection has become even from Nov 2022. PDA, Silver Cord, b741, all of those albums shine in this show and work seemlessly with staples and long time favorites.
Nonagon now has a fantastic place alongside the b741 stuff, with Mr Beat making for the perfect launching pad into their other bluesy tunes. Iron Lung, CC, 4C is just crushing. Dragon>Flamethrower I mean come on.
MOTU suite, Silver Cord table jam and a Head On/Pill thrown on the end to make the full show 3h15m will go down in legend.
