Thanks for the wonderful write up and recap. As an admitted casual fan who was attending my very FIRST Phish show, I loved every moment and note and thought it was absolutely incredible. I didn’t know if the more seasoned fan would feel the same and it was great reading your thoughts. While I can’t comment on many songs I heard for the first time and how they compare to other versions, I guess I can offer that while I am late to the game and this show may have been my first, it most certainly won’t be my last.

Overall an amazing night and I’m so glad I was there. Wonderful music at one of the most beautiful outdoor venues to catch a show at.

Thanks again for the insight. I’ll be sure to keep the write up in mind as I listen to this one over again.

For the record new friend, 7.23.23 was my 203th show in 30 years almost to the day, and I was blown away. You got a great one for a first show!
