Spacey Ghost and incredible first half of set two.

4 stars and still unheralded?

A debut opener, four Jam Chart tracks, and a better recording than streaming sites.

Our journey of this tour's venues comes to a close. Last stop of the Summer is a fan favorite: Dicks, just outside Denver. Fee's Cavern steps back in time, delivering you to a special night, fond among the fan's in attendance for it's simplicity and spectacular show of surprising symbolism.

This episode is a radio-style replay of many of the hidden tracks that have populated the first eight months of Fee's Cavern. Enjoy from the couch, enjoy on your way to the festival, enjoy as the hours of work tick away until the celebration begins, enjoy at the campsite. You won't be disappointed. All track dates are mentioned within the episode for further exploration. Drive on the right, pass on the left, dance in the middle.

The Summer Tour 18 Series rolls on with a long drive up the eastern seaboard. The first featured set rages with long, groove based jams at the heart of Piper, Weekapaug and Hood. The featured second set is one of the strongest ever featured on the podcast: fully segued, exploration in songs not usually taken for rides and head-on flow not to be missed. Drive safe everyone!

In the third installment of the Summer Tour 18 series, the focus shifts to the cities of the tour rather than the venues themselves. We also hone in on two remarkable first sets built-to-the-hilt in listenability. The first featured set is from a hot show in Austin revolving around nasty versions of classics, unique song choices and great flow. The choice for the Atlanta area is rocking from go, involves three Jam Chart tracks and a U.S. debut. Drive safe out there!

Down the California coast we go! This episode's first set is one of the most underrated second sets from BGCA with jam after jam to blow you away. A two song combo opener, a trifecta in the middle with some serious flow, and a 2001 dance party extraordinaire. The second featured set drops us off at a venue famed for rock-and-roll style nights. No Man's Land and Roggae are aspects of the celebration at the Forum.

Summer Tour 2018 Series: Part 1. The first set featured is a strong example of the powerful second sets from the year it was performed. It features an opening number not usually found in that slot, a great series of jams that follow it, and a muscular version of Walls of the Cave. The second set featured has four Jam Chart tracks and the combination of musical factors we all hope to hear when a tour lands at the Gorge.

Three winning features: opens with a classic, all segues are wonderful, contains one of the best Bathtub Gins of the era. Combine all of these with a funk tonality and consistent twisting of jams... and you have an underrated gem. Here's a toast to cool nights, great lights, and surprises in a show you may have never heard.
