The first of the two Alpharetta shows was quite the show to be in attendance for, and showed that 4.0 was off to a roaring start.

Sand opens the show, and is one hell of a way to start the first set. Though your typical first set Sand, it is a great song to get the entire place moving. Everything's Right is next, and this one gets improvisational quickly. It gets to some nice territory, keeping the energy high. Turtle in the Clouds and Maze, while standard, are very high energy versions that keep the energy going. Refusing to cool down, Destiny Unbound and Foam make for even more fun. Up next is one of my personal favorites in Stash, and this version is excellent. Even though it is not long, it manages to pack a lot in its duration, keeping the high energy that had ben fostered by the rest of the set. Bathtub Gin, another one of my personal favorites, closes the set in fiery fashion. Ultimately, an outstanding first set.

With how exciting and great the first set was, the second set had big shoes to fill. Chalk Dust starts the set, and this one out of the gates gets improvisational. While not the best version of Chalk Dust out there, it covers a lot of ground and makes for an entertaining set opener and one of the longest versions of the song to date. Steam comes next, as it tends to do after improvisational behemoths like that. It is a good song and is always welcome to hear. Prince Caspian comes after, and this is a good version of a song I always really enjoy. The next three songs, Golgi Apparatus, AC/DC Bag and Shade, are fine, but feel out of place. Felt like a bit of a buzz kill after what we got earlier, I thought just maybe AC/DC Bag would get jammed out again but it was not meant to be. However, the band turns it right back up with Mike's Song, and this is a fun short version. They then surprise us with Silent in the Morning (without The Horse coming before it), and I enjoy hearing the song. Weekapaug then comes and is a nice energetic way to end the set.

The encore is A Life Beyond the Dream and Cavern, nothing remarkable but I am not complaining.

While overshadowed by the next set in my opinion, this is still one hell of a show, even if the second set is a bit disjointed near the middle, so I would recommend giving it a listen. I had a great time attending and it holds up well just listening.
