Not much to say, not the greatest show, but nice to see them in a small, historical venue like Tips. Is at onstage and took some pics:http://www.pbase.com/sigphotography/phish_at_tipitinas_3393

As with the above review, not a ton to say. Decent show nothing special.
Really high energy to start out set 1, enjoyed the Foam and Maze. Treys solo in Jim was okay, sounded a little sloppy to me. Cool trumpet addition on Lawn Boy and Cavern by Carl.
Liked the song mix surrounding the Mikes Grove in set 2 but nothing particularly stood out. Did enjoy Page's solo in Coil.
Check out the pics above, pretty cool.

Much better tonight! This is the fifth and last show at Tipitina's for the boys, 22nd of the tour and really, much better than last night. I'm not sure how the show on the 2nd got four stars when they were sick and hung over? Anyway, good job on this one. The recording leaves a bit to be desired again, but I'm still glad to hear it.Rift is still a little shaky in the timing, but good overall. Foam is good as is the standard Bouncing. Maze has a little feed back and has a great solo section from Page and Trey. Guelah was well played and has a really long pause before the "Fly" section. Paul was good. Sample is also much better with the vocal phrasing coming into focus. Jim has a nice jam to it. Great to hear "Gears" come out and play a couple songs to end a really good first set.
Not sure if the recording is off or what, but Axilla is a half step up from normal tonight. Curtain has a few off spots, but not too bad. Melt was good. Mound was ok, maybe a few spots off. Mike's was just ok for me. Hydrogen is actually much better than the norm tonight, not great, but better. Weekapaug has a good jam to it. Glide seems misplaced, but reasonably well played. In fact the whole back side of this second set is played well, but the singing is terrible in Glide, My Sweet One and FEFY. Of course Fish hates on HYHU and then has some fun on Terrapin. Mike and Trey are both off in the middle of Coil and Page gets to mop up the mess. Not too bad of a second set overall. Adeline is ok despite the sickness and the shushing.
Fire is the lone encore tonight and is played a little sloppy, but rocking.
Not the greatest show, but much better in the context of the whole tour. At least check out this first set.
