This show was part of the "2000 Summer U.S. Tour."
I was late to this show due to traffic. Police presence was thick. Meat was really long, and the ending to Slave was sloppy. I always love What's the Use? They played like they were about to go on Sabbatical. Wait...
Yeah there are a few ups and downs but it is not bad at all. Take the opening NICU always great opener. Sample you know its Sample, The Punch was great intro was a bit different than others I've seen or even heard. Other than the sick ass Split Open And Melt rest of set was not bad, not a great 1st set but decent definitly listenable And some decent playing.
Second set was just great as all hell!!! Gotta Jiboo>FEFY>Scent Really That was very good and well played well except for the Trey flub of starting the lyrics to billy breathes and catches himself. Meat was awesome. The Maze also just awesome. And What's the use? > Slave man get out Great Great Great!!!!!
Everybody is not perfect all the time people do make mistakes and there were some made at this show but all in all a good show.
I have to get back to this Maze again peace out
I had 2nd row center tix for this show so anticipation was high. Big time let down considering the shows that followed but even the worst Phish show is a heck of a lot better than anything else on the planet...Summer 2000 definitely holds its own (check out the next 2 nights in Holmdel) tonight just fell a little short.
