Milwaukee 2014
It's fairly unusual to have Pendulum and MYM back to back to start a show, no real build up of slower songs like usual. While both are good takes, MYM is kind of rough on the edges. Stone comes in late, Mike's guitar goes out momentarily, and Ed's vocals are showing wear being gruff and raspy. That being said, it's a truly energetic start to the show and does feel fun. Corduroy is excellent, with Jeff's bass standing out nicely. LB and Baba O Riley (with Cheap Trick’s guitarist) follow, the latter is incredibly rare to come in this spot of a set. It's so early for it, but it works to close the opening or first part of the show before Yield is performed in its entirety. Baba, like MYM earlier, is rough around the edges; nevertheless, it has a great feel.

Yield then begins. Brain of J sounds solid, but hearing Faithfull come right after is the best part. Jeff shines on Faithfull. No Way finds Mike adding many cool sounding effects. He and Stone drive the dark little number. Jeff again sounds wonderful on GTF. Wishlist is gorgeous, and Pilate feels freshly rejuvenated afterward. DTE-MFC are played well. Sounding utmost majestic is Low Light. For me, Jeff has been stealing the show. His tone and rhythms give the songs such warmth and is almost soothing. The same type of relaxed nature continues with In Hiding. I typically find Yield to be soothing, and like driving in beautiful weather seeing gorgeous sites. Push Me Pull Me sounds a tad empty with Mike largely absent at times, but nothing too concerning. ATY naturally concludes Yield. In my opinion, the spirit of Yield is well represented in this performance. It translates beautifully live. I wouldn't say these are the best versions of Yield songs, but they are all at minimum quite solid. It's great to have them all here in quality. Even Flow is a fitting choice to keep the show rolling in a smooth manner even if Ed's voice pops a few times. Not surprisingly, Sirens follows. Lyrically Ed struggles before the solo. Rats features infectious grooves from Jeff, he sounds so good in this mix. Stone's solo is backed with exceptional, energetic work from Matt and Jeff. It's up to Setting Forth and RVM to end our wonderful and adventurous main set.

Sleeping By Myself-Just Breathe begin the first encore, and SBM is near perfection. After wishing Tom Petty a happy birthday, Ed plays I Won't Back Down. The crowd seems to enjoy it and having it before Small Town creates that campfire, singalong feel that can occur in encore 1. It's a sweet vibe. A rousing Got Some kicks it up a notch. Stone's guitar is fairly high in the mix to good result. Ed mismatches some lyrics, but it's covered up well. A powerhouse take on Jeremy is next. Lukin is a tad extended as Jeff comes in late, but then having Porch immediately after...it's an epic feeling. The last few songs really cook in this encore.

Ed thanks the crowd tremendously and the Wishlist foundation too. A beautiful Crazy Mary eases us into the last bit. The rhythm section between Matt and Jeff is super tight and rich sounding. Boom's solo is quite driving, forceful, and more rhythmic than usual. His exchange with Mike is explosive. Also gorgeous and emotional is Black. Ed's tag is somber. After a good Alive, Fuckin Up sounds a little rusty tonight. Ledbetter sends us off.

Certainly a unique bootleg due to Yield being performed in its entirety; the album translates nicely live, and the rest of the show is fun too. It's not necessarily the tightest gig performance wise, much like Moline 2014 in that sense, but I don't call it sloppy. I do find it to be quite superior to Moline in terms of how the albums translate live; Yield comes off with better energy and accurate textures, whereas the intricate nature of the No Code songs do not always translate in a live setting (in my opinion). Milwaukee 2014 is certainly worthy of a good listen because of its vibe, creativity, and utmost sense of positive energy.
