Nice review.... disagree about set of the year. Reba was butchered. Can't put something in "best set" territory with a botch job like that one.
Correct me if I am wrong .... didn't they do the "whistling" in Reba at Alpine 1, 2010 ?
I'll correct you...

I'm no musical genius, but a phan with a decent ear. This out-of-the-box Reba jam sounded like it contained a modulation into another key, probably what they're calling the DEG tease.

When reverting back a to typical sounding Reba jam, I don't think they were still playing in Eb Lydian. As we all know, that doesn't really matter. But when they started whistling in the key they stopped in, things 'fell apart' when they started up the "Bag it, Tag it" part in the same key they've been playing it for 20 some years. The boys thought it was funny. As a musician myself, I marvel over their ability to dance in and out of dicey musical situations like this. They ended up turning it into an spacey, aqueous improvisational landing pad. I haven't re-heard this since last night, but I wouldn't be surprised if I am correct. Correct me if I'm wrong...

It was no botch-job. Phish is the best band!
