"No mention of what sounds like an epic and excellently-placed Theme? and nothing wrong with headbanging to a little Ha Ha Ha..."

This is some serious nit-picking, but I felt like the Theme really suffered from it's placement. Yes, on paper Huge DWD> Twist, Theme looks kinda A++ material, but thats the Japanese/Island Tour/2.0 style Twists speaking in your ear telling you to ignore the style of Twist they've been dealing with lately.

DWD's psychedelic assault is a great way to start the set, and Twist is the perfect song to stay off-kilter while simultaneously brightening things up. But once Twist's short & sweet jam ends and Theme starts, it gives the set a disjointed "What If..?" type of feel. The Theme would have flowed masterfully from that Disease jam, and Twist's quirky vibe would have felt even better after that heavy 1-2 punch to start the second set. I wonder if Phish realized that and it contributed to them playing what was possibly the shortest Theme ever?

I promise I'm not trying to be picky, but if this set read
II: DWD -> Theme, Twist, Number Line, Golden Age -> ADITL, YEM
It would feel a lot more cohesive than it did. And I think they probably would have rode that vibe into a much stronger rendition of Theme if it had come hot on the heels of the DWD jam.
Either way, still one of the most reasonable looking second sets of the year. Can't compete with UIC 1's 2nd set setlist, but what can? That setlist was an absolute masterpiece- from a thematic standpoint to be sure, but more importantly they played a stunningly cohesive and intriguingly exploratory set involving a bunch of songs which really deserve to have a strong presence in the rotation.
I just love that Phish put their eggs in the Waves-> Undermind-> Steam basket instead of tossing off a handfull of classics without regard to placement.
