More later, I've only slept for about 5 out of the previous 72 hours. Absolutely a peak experience for me, not just in terms of Phish, but in seeing live music. I've had no chance to relisten to last night's yet, but as for being there, I couldn't have asked for a more perfect show. Whatever...

So far I've heard more positive than negative reactions to this show, but I wanted to respond to the complaints, which I sort of get but also kinda don't. Most of us would agree that Phish has set the bar pretty high. If a show fails to clear that bar, go ahead and complain. No, they don't...

I am a deadhead through and through. That said, my worst fear has most likely come to fruition on 10/31/10 There is no band in the world that throws down for the people like phish. Am I wrong?

I can remember back to 1998 when nobody expected Loaded and everyone was scratching their head that for the third time they passed over Pink Floyd. Three nights later they lay this grace on a half-full arena in Utah in the middle of the week. If they didn't veer from the formula at some point...

Set 1: A very fine first set, one of the better of the tour. The Runaway Shaft is quite amusing, Sand gives us another tight Type I jam, and Bowie has been as good as it's been this year. Set 2: Goodness me. Every time I think I have a handle on "favorite (x)" of the Fall, the band pulls out...

Just got back to hotel. WOW Insane show!! Sick glowstick war during Guelah Papyrus pause that got the crowd rocking! The Zeppelin theme made the vibe/energy levels blow the roof off! 1st HA HA HA, thank god!! My 51st show and easily the top 4! My 1st, Big Cypress 2nd, my first show Vernon...

No, you're not wrong, Walter, you're just an @$$hole!

For my money, last night is the biggest single risk the band has ever taken. What a ballsy call! Almost guaranteed to be divisive, guaranteed that for 60-75 minutes in the middle of the show, no one in the arena would be at all familiar with the music. Congrats to Phish for continuing their...

Last night was truly a watershed moment for the band. With all the talk of a new album coming, and not a whole lot of new material being debuted over the past few years I was growing a little nervous that things weren't completely kosher behind the scenes and the guys weren't jelling. Last...

Set 1: Reasonable for a first set; neither of the bigger Set 1 vehicles (Stash/Gin) stand out, especially compared to the heights that both vehicles have hit this year. That's quite all right, though - there's two whole sets of music left to go. Set 2: Just a few scattered thoughts. 1. The...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2013-11-01 • Possum (11:04) Set 1 Noteworthy
A quality "old school" version with a lot of good "Type I" variation in the jamming, building up to an intense peak.
2013-11-01 • Twist (21:02) Set 2 Noteworthy
The jam breaks away at 6:15, growing melodic and upbeat. Mike adds some great bass effects before a euphoric groove emerges. Then a fun "Under Pressure" jam develops, followed by beautiful low-key jamming.
2013-10-31 • Carini (18:41) Set 3 Noteworthy
Serious heavyweight version kicks off with rhythmic and swirling playing. The jam brightens for a stretch, then IT builds and builds as the "HOSE" is turned on. Finally the jam recedes delicately as the spigot is turned to "off."
2010-10-31 • Julius (9:17) Set e Noteworthy
With horn and percussion accompaniment. Fantastic version. The percussion and horns are added in a particularly complementary arrangement that makes this one a real standout.
2010-10-30 • Also Sprach Zarathustra (10:24) Set 2 Noteworthy
Want to know what Mike Gordon can do in the 3.0 era? Look no further than the second jam in this Cactus masterpiece. This is a dancing beast. A top 3.0 version.
As a standard "Theme" jam draws to a close, it morphs into a jam on the "Theme From Shaft" with amusing banter from Trey and Fish. Some good funky jamming follows the banter before returning to "Theme" to end.
2013-11-02 • Tweezer (15:22) Set 2
Very repetitive, melodic, spirited, funky jam... check. this. OUT!
The jam breaks into a good percussive and rocking groove, then it lightens and brightens, re-energizes, and -> to "Piper."
2013-11-02 • Roggae (7:36) Set 2
A delicate and beautifully played version with a dreamy quality to it, but which also builds to a powerful peak. > to "Waves."
> from "Meatstick". There's some extra funky mustard on this one and it also includes alternate lyrics referencing bush and kush, as well as a tease of the "Theme from the Rockford Files." Ends with a > to "The Wedge".
A solid and funkified breakdown jam follows a good vocal jam and includes Trey banter near the ending.
Another fun, funky version with "Kush" and "Bush" chanting, lots of weirdness, and a few genuinely musically impressive passages interspersed here and there.
2013-10-31 • Stash (10:05) Set 1
Excellent short "Stash" with mounting tension. Like a '93 or '94 version!
Phish debut includes Page nicely jumping around from the Fender-Rhodes to the B-3 to the piano, and a rock driven jam from Trey.
2013-10-31 • Wombat (6:34) Set 2
Debut with "Abe Vigoda" and the Abe Vigoda Dancers.
