Capitol Theatre, The |
Port Chester |
NY | First version of the 2023 touring season shows the potential and the spaces it will reach in the coming weeks; more extended than late 2022 but not quite there yet. |

Ryman Auditorium |
Nashville |
TN | No jam makes a bigger case that 2023 is the Year of Big T like this one. Aggressive bass thumping leads to an epic Trevor solo and funk-strutting, blazing finish. |

Warfield, The |
San Francisco |
CA | Patient, building funkfest. Great example of the band locking in and no one taking less, resulting in fantastic collective jamming. |

Three Sisters Park |
Chillicothe |
IL | Opens the second set with 20 mins of pure fire. Peter leans into some vicious clav riffing as the energy peaks and saves Rick on a technical difficulty. Brief minute of major key jamming and they wrap it up on a strong note. |

Stone Pony Summer Stage |
Asbury Park |
NJ | Trevor driving as he often does with "Thatch," but this time with simple-yet-cool riffs and melodies that the band latches onto and then builds around. Stank face inducing rock in the last 6 minutes. |

Saratoga Performing Arts Center |
Saratoga Springs |
NY | Jam quickly mellows out into a quiet-yet-tight groove. "Tequila" teasing adds some flavour as the band gradually increases the energy and explodes. Amazing mid-set version from the legendary SPAC debut. |

Leader Bank Pavilion |
Boston |
MA | Dark and synthy. Learning lessons from each version on the road to Boston, this one has some amazing eerie texturing from Peter, while Rick and Trevor growl in the darkness. Gradually picks up steam with the same ominous Prophet synth undertone throughout. Excellent display of tension-building here. |

Kettlehouse Amphitheater |
Bonner |
MT | Whether you think it's the JOTY or not, this "Thatch" is a seriously dense listen. Dark and percussive at first, it feels very typical for the tour but quickly heads into evil territory thanks to Rick and Peter's interplay. Spuds pivots into a charging beat at the 18th minute and they just go for it. Superlatives can't even do this peak justice - needs to be listened. Rick plays with his Whammy at the apex before they execute a perfect and towering return to the song proper. All-timer. |

Wiltern, The |
Los Angeles |
CA | While many previous versions of "Thatch" highlight an aggressive or darker jam, this LA version turns bright and contemplative after a turn of percussive play with strong Trevor and Peter underneath Rick's melodies. Hints of the Vegas "Elizabeth" to come a few days later. |

Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater |
Morrison |
CO | Continuation of the mellower and more upbeat "Thatch" style seen at the Wiltern on 9/28. Rocking first half transitions into a quieter space that builds into an excellent peak. |

Melkweg |
Amsterdam |
| Peter collects a bunch of coins early on as the rhythm section destroys the minimalist funk groove. Rick pivots into triumph and the band unleashes a volcanic peak to close it out. |

Academy 2 |
Manchester |
| After funky start where Luigi finds his coins, Peter layers mystical synths and Rick finds a haunting repeating riff that propels a wonderfully unique and enchanting version. Thrilling finish. |
