First time the Dogs have made it to the 502 - my current city of residence. I've been to every single Dogs KY performance and I plan to keep that up. This was my 16th show and I brought a crew of 4 other first-timers and one buddy who it was his 2nd Dogs show.

Little Things is always a real fun opener - got my body moving instantly. I locked in with Brian at one point singing about the 'pay no attention to the background sounds' line... who doesn't love to see someone singing the words back to them in the crowd?

The first tune was merely to draw in the normies... because once Craig and Pat showed up... things got weird. Super deep jam into Craig which contained a Ghost Riders jam before going back to end Craig - the last 2 minutes of the 2nd half of Craig is some of the most epic shit I've ever heard.

The > did not stop coming - when the band hit the HIT at the beginning of Spun, I looked back to my buddy and informed him that we were about to spin... stuck in a spiral, spin 'til I'm spun. I think the prior GOAT drums was the Mission Ballroom in CO but.... this Spun takes the cake for me - probably attendance bias, but idc - check out the drum solo here in Spun.

Once Spun was winding down, I saw Jeremy clutching the trumpet - that can only mean one thing! Nosotro vamos ay el banco... no cervezas para tu... My homie crew consisted of some bi-lingual first-gen Mexican/Cuban-Kentuckians, so they got HYPE over the Spanish section of Pedro.

To end, a sweet, BUMPIN' Appleseed - I think the boys got carried away and hit curfew earlier than anticipated... not complaining, but when Appleseed ended, I was like "That's it??!! Naurrrrrrr" LOL - maybe the best opening single set I've seen, potentially save 9/8/22
