Great review. I am not always stoked on Alaska, especially towards the end of the second set. But if Trey is smiling I am smiling. Phish has many faces and can be any type of band they want to be. They are playing, touring, and soon to be recording. They have proven they can take any song and turn it into a jam vehicle. Alaska may be the next Tennessee Jed, but so be it.
Everyone needs to stop bitching and enjoy the ride. Phish plays to their crowd. If everyone in the venue is frying hard and taking a trip then the boys come out and play psychedelia, like Albany '09. If the crowd is a bunch of "noobs" that are relatively sober and not that familiar with the band they play a tame or mainstream show. Either way going into a show with a smile, low expectations, and a willingness to surrender to the flow will always lead to a great phish experience.
The boys are back! Worcester was incredible.

Thank you Phish. Life would be dull without you
