spreaditround SET 1: AC/DC Bag: Killer jam to open this show, band and crowd are both locked. This is smoked!

My Mind's Got a Mind of its Own: Yes it does!

The Sloth: Standard, love it in this slot.

Runaway Jim: Another soaring version, rips hard.

Weigh: Page’s work on the baby grand gets plenty of praise from the crowd, rightly so. >

NICU: Standard.

Fast Enough for You: Would encourage everyone to take a few moments out of their day, tune this one up and bask in the glory that is Phish from Fall 95. So clean, so beautiful. Glorious.

It's Ice: Page sounds amazing on the baby grand during the breakdown >

Poor Heart > Sample in a Jar, I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome: Standard.

Stash: Gets dark for a couple of minutes and then has two huge peaks. Awesome Stash and phenomenal way to close out the set. People had to have been bug eyed at setbreak after that!

First set summary: Outstanding! It is all great but as for replay value I would point out Jim, FEFY, and Stash. Stash is awesome!

SET 2: Golgi Apparatus: Standard.

Possum -> Catapult, The Curtain > This section is why we all Phish, right? Surely, we can agree. That Possum is ridiculous. It just seemingly goes on forever, it’s absolutely raucous! Check out all the trilling and the unique ending that segues into Catapult. And then we get The Curtain? Wow!!! First one of the tour, finally!

Tweezer -> Makisupa Policeman -> Big Black Furry Creature from Mars: Another amazing segment. This Tweezer’s middle section is so cool, at times with the effects it feels as if they are underwater, hard for me to explain. Picks up a Wolfman’s not long after this, dance party USA time – this section is incredible – if you are having a tough day and need a pick me up, I would suggest throwing this on. It gets blissy/major key, rare for the era. But they ride this puppy hard and I bet folks were getting down so hard. Makisupa is awesome and unique in the fact that Trey whispers, "Maki in my bed" and "Palooska on my head" and "Goldstein on my head" and "Let’s hear one for Fred." This segues nicely into BBFCM.

Life on Mars?, Uncle Pen: Standard.

Slave to the Traffic Light: Outstanding Slave, check out Cactus laying it down. >

Cavern: ENCORE: Sweet Adeline, The Squirming Coil: Good stuff here, the perfect wind down to an amazing Phish show. Fish is all kinds of crazy during Sweet Adeline.

Second set summary: Just chock full of greatness. I will always reach for this Possum, Tweezer, Makisupa, and Slave. This tour is officially on fire as the night before in Lincoln and now this show has the freight train rolling downhill with significant momentum. I would rate this show as a 4.7 out of 5, it is exceptional and the best of the tour so far.
