Zwan in Philly

As far as setlists go, I don't know that you could ask for a better one from a 45-50 minute set. They played 4-5 of their shorter songs. They were tight, but nothing special (although Until I died was the first "soft song" from any band that night and seemed quite heartfelt.) BUT they jammed for like 30 minutes total with the Jesus/ Mary bit...there was no stoppage, just one right into the other. The sound was bad for hearing lyrics anyway, but the jamming came through loud and clear and was perfect for the venue. It was mesmerizing, escapist, spaced-out rock, and no one on that bill brought anything close (though QOTSA did their thing well).
