and &#8220;Defrost&#8221; that hadn&#8217;t been played since the 90s made appearances.\u00a0 It seemed as if the entire moe.playbook was an option this weekend.\u00a0 While plenty of songs from the recently released <em>Sticks and Stones<\/em> album also got some play, standout versions of old school hits like &#8220;Sensory Deprivation Bank,&#8221; &#8220;Recreational Chemistry&#8221; and a rollicking third set opener of &#8220;Buster&#8221; from Saturday night really made their mark this year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NeHrYNV1PwI<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sunday was not lacking in special moe.ments either as Cornmeal made another appearance and helped close out the first set set with their version of &#8216;jamgrass&#8217; on a blistering &#8220;32 Things&#8221; that closed out the first set.\u00a0 And the second set saw Shannon and Terry Lynch of Conehead Buddha lend some brass support on &#8220;Happy Hour Hero.&#8221;\u00a0 Not to be outdone by the previous days&#8217; offerings of bustouts, the second set also contained a &#8220;Roll &gt;Armageddon Jig&gt;Strychnine Waltz&#8221; sequence that hadn&#8217;t been seen in more than 7 years.\u00a0 But, by far, the most unexpected performance of the weekend may have been the last one as the entire band played around one mic and sent moe.down 9 attendees away for another year with their heads up thanks to the Monty Python sing-a-long classic, &#8220;Always Look on the Bright of Life,&#8221; replete with responsive whistling from another year&#8217;s worth of tired yet satiated fans.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"capt america with kids\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n7D4sqynjmg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;

Vinnie Amico got things started on night one with an opening drum solo before being joined by the rest of the band in a set that delivered such staples as &#8220;New York City,&#8221; &#8220;Hi and Lo&#8221; and &#8220;Four.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"moe.down 10 ani and moe\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iTHac9Az0O0?feature=oembed\"
