GratephulPhan This show garners a 5/5 mainly because of the second set and the lunacy that it contains.

That is not to say the first set is a sleeper... Buried Alive opener gets things off to a nice fast paced start and so on with Poor Heart. Sample rages as much as it can (anyone who says the do not enjoy this song is lying). Foam is awesome and you get to start to hear the first sounds of Trey's phaser (that warble-y sound that hits you right in the soul). DwD rips, even among the concise 94 versions. It's Ice also features great work from Page and more Trey phaser. SOAMelt to close the set gets mike ripping up the bass.

Ok... now for the meat and potatoes, and don't forget the gravy. Possum right out of the gates gets things fiery and gets the band firing on all cylinders. All out ripping Possum. Wilvern/Cavson is one of the most ridiculous things I have heard Phish play. Some people might call it sloppy, but all you have to do is listen to realize the intricacy with which they are playing and weaving the songs together. This NICU Tweezer sandwich is unearthly and if you have not heard it, open a new tab, go to the spreadsheet, download it and listen to it right now. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. LISTEN to it! Holy. Shit. That phaser is an amazing toy that Trey is playing with through this whole show as well. The segues between Tweezer and Julius and BBFCFM (which has a bluegrass beat and is Mule-y, wtf is happening!?!) are all twisted, deranged and evil. I don't really know how people who attended this show were able to walk out. Mound cools things down a little but, not before Slave blasts off into blissful spacey jam peak jam land. And boy does this Slave peak... Just when you thought it was over, Suzy!! with slave teases throughout.

Great way to end it: MSO > Tweeprise and there you have it... your face is melted and sitting on the ground.

Listen. to. this. now!
