I just love how much they're moving beyond the "usual spot" for a lot of closers and such. Bowie, Slave, Julius NOT being in the closer or encore spot is great (I especially loved Julius out of that placement, where I usually feel lukewarm about it - enjoyed it much more early in Set I). And Golgi opening rather than closing. And every other show not closing with Loving Cup (which I love, but you gotta mix shit up to keep it fresh).

I've followed this entire tour pretty closely and it's the best of 3.0 as far as I'm concerned, and maybe, overall, the best since '98 as some have suggested. I thought the only crap show this tour was Austin, and Walnut Creek was just meh, and MPP2 was much better than people are giving it credit for, if it wasn't at the level of much of the rest of the tour. Can't wait to stream some Ball and Dicks! Wish I could be there. Long live the Phish.
