This review has an immediacy of "notes after the show." Finally, someone has given a blow by blow that brings me down to beach level with sand in my toes.

My heart sank into the green flash of ocean sunset jealousy, though, the minute I saw reports of a 19-minute Waves. It has been my one ask of the Phish universe that I see them perform a Type II Waves. It's one of my all time favorites.

It genuinely interests me, too, how everyone has a different take on the GOTF songs. Some day, after the songs settle in a bit, I think that Life Beyond the Dream will be universally lauded. Maybe it's due to the fact that the past 10 years of my life have been suffused with loss and struggle, but this tune really resonates. (Too bad that Jen and Natalie didn't make a guest appearance, though, as I agree with @gr8phul that they make it even better.)

For those of us who could not attend, the golf cart description provides a nice window into the post-show pandemonium. I am positive that I would have been run over.
