the_nitty_gritty Rock heavy and jam light. A wear your earplugs show. The Limb x Limb was the only Type II jam exception. Every other “jam” was Type I and ultimately built up to a screaming guitar solo and drum pounding. I can’t remember a jam that discovered a new dance groove the whole show. The reviews lapping on the praise for this show overlook that very little “new” was discovered here. Compared to 2009 at the Fox, I can see why a lot of people are happy. But compared to Riverport 8/6/1997 http://phish.net/setlists/?d=1997-08-06 or Riverport 7/29/1998 http://phish.net/setlists/?d=1998-07-29 , can anyone really say this was a better show? Other than the Limb x Limb, it wasn’t all that different sounding from Kiel Center 8/15/1996 http://phish.net/setlists/?d=1996-11-15 . To claim this show and BGSF III were some of the best in decades – as some have (I’m looking at you Mr. Miner) – is ridiculous. This show would have been middle of the pack in 1997 or 1998. Solid but not mind-blowing by any means.
