Review by RunawayJim4180

RunawayJim4180 I cannot possibly add to the accolades that this show has garnered over the year (rightfully so). After the opening Carini and Curtain serve as the appetizer, the show takes off in earnest from Gumbo onward with some of the most patient and democratic music the band has ever produced.

I'm really here to talk about a hidden gem in this show, that being Heavy Things. I'm like most you, disregarding this tune as a throw-away attempt at Millennium-era, radio-friendly Phish pop. This version, however, is the cleanest sounding version I've heard, with every note absolutely perfect and miles better than even the studio version. Between Trey's tone and the band's sonic bedding, its the only version of this song I'd play as an example of how Phish doesn't always have to go Type 2 to craft magic. Give it a listen again for yourself!
