The show is a 3-hours concert with an intermission. The songs mostly are ~10 minutes long live mashup between two released tracks. STS9 does a good job at improvising on existing melodies without re-hashing their CDs, leaving a nice original feeling.
The light show was pretty lackluster, it clearly felt like they didn't invest any significant time or money into it, relying on the venue existing lights and on a light operator that didn't know much about the set or even STS9 music in advance. I understand that lighting a live jam band is tricky, but I expect more from a music show than just loud music.
About the musician's performance, they were all mostly static on stage, except the drummer that seemed unecessarily agitated given how mellow STS9's music usually is.
All in all I felt like it could have been a seated event as nothing was really done to engage and energize the crowd.
But in my view, the biggest faux pas of the night was the recall after a great When The Dust Settles live interpretation as their final regular set song. I didn't recognize the song(s ?) they played just before leaving the stage for good, and its intensity was way below When The Dust Settles, which should have been thrir recall song in my opinion.
I bitterly left the venue with the opinion that I would rather have seen Skydyed (a local Colorado eloetro-funk-rock band available on Spotify-Soundcloud-Youtube) instead of STS9.
