spreaditround SET 1:

Also Sprach Zarathustra: Rager! Great opener, nice nod to their total show count. Unlike the night before, too open the show in this manner delivers clear intent and effort. Polar opposite! Would recommend and would say this is an all timer! >

Gumbo: Something is off going into the second verse I believe. Other than that, standard Gumbo.

Beauty of My Dreams: For Del, that’s cool.

Mull: -> Also Sprach Zarathustra -> Mull: Mull jam starts getting going, going good – then Trey starts that power chord for 2001. This was cool! Little sloppy – not rehearsed and on the fly obviously but cool all the same.

Dirt: Mike screws up the beginning vocals, ugh.

Stash: Brutal intro. They forgot how to play one of the tunes they have played the most in their career. Very embarrassing!

Ether Edge: Song is very bad.

About to Run: Rock star Trey sounded great.

Split Open and Melt: Lots of hateful noise. But this one actually has elements of an old school Melt with regard to tension and release. Must have been intense in person. Would recommend.

SET 2:

Life Saving Gun: Meh. ->

Sand: Meh. >

Everything's Right: -Standard. >

Cities: Absolutely sick. This is the Phish that we grew up with and that we hope we get every once and again. Fantastic jam and easily the best of the tour so far. Would highly recommend, easy all timer! ->

Llama: Wow. Never saw this coming. Creative and fresh. Great stuff right here! Would recommend.

I Always Wanted It This Way: Type I face melter.

Bug: Bummer, but I guess they earned it.

ENCORE:

Lonely Trip: I am good with this especially considering what came after.

Harry Hood: Very solid version right here. You can definitely feel good about this version and this show!

Summary: Pretty song first set with great bookends. One big gun in the second set and Llama was very cool. I would rate this as a super solid 4/5. Phish.net has it overrated as a 4.238/5 (193 ratings).

Replay Value: Also Sprach Zarathustra, Split Open and Melt, Cities, Llama.
