Good review! Evocative and to the point. I've never seen the Line/#Line (or equivalent) situation handled more skillfully.

First set was entertaining and very well-played if not consistently spectacular or inventive. Fuego was one of the most impressive jams I've seen the band play and showed how far Phish has come since 2009. In the moment, I thought it had more of a 1994 feel than many recent jams, with quick, semi-jarring stylistic shifts that paid off big but didn't overstay their welcome. Looking forward to seeing if it still feels that way upon playback.

The rest of the set was marred by sloppy playing and awkward transitions, and after the aforementioned mid-set lull, an impressive setlist ended up underachieving its promise.

The lights were outstanding. Subtle and gorgeous. The venue is excellent, and superior to Camden in nearly every way.

Ultimately, I experienced it as an uneven show with one true keeper jam in Fuego and some really great playing in the first set. Can't wait for tonight!
