Let's see...

Opening up the song book? Check. 9 tour debuts tonight, including the much-missed A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing. A bit disappointed there weren't more water songs, but hey.

Well-played first set? Check. Nothing egregiously bad, and a nice energy over the whole thing, probably related to the torrential downpour.

First set jams? Check. Pretty decent Reba, and a really fine Bowie with an excursion into Type II in between the usual Bowie jamming (and a second excursion that didn't quite take off). Maybe the SPAC SOAM isn't a one-off after all.

Patient jamming in the second set? Check. The R&R rocked hard, then found itself a theme and explored a couple different motifs within that theme (perhaps to keep people dancing, as @funkbeard posits), before going upbeat and exploding into a well-placed 2001. Tweezer didn't get out there, but its jam reminded me of the warmth and silky-smoothness of Charlotte's Tweezer from last year (thanks in large part to Page). Two very fine jams.

Setlist flow? Check. The aforementioned R&R > 2001, two nice segues sandwiching Cities (Tweezer -> Cities is a bit rushed, but Fish playing the Wedge beat makes it unique, and thus makes Cities -> The Wedge all the easier); Velvet Sea and Zero were set closers after the meat had passed, so they can be forgiven.

Goofiness? Check. The Sleeping Monkey is a trainwreck, but it's all in good fun, and the Sandy relief shout out was quite nice.

Character Zero? Check. They played Character Zero.

Final verdict? A very strong show. A Joonze Beach show worthy of @joonze himself.
