nuttercenter Solid review. I like the AFC north ref- you'll have to re-post after Indy and Alpine for the conclusion of the BIG TEN run.

Cincy- Weekend run starts from home but damn I dislike Riverbend. Lawn only got worse with the astro-turf plus the sound is a bit rough, another disappointment from Cincy but oh well. Really liked the first set bust outs. Was hoping for Llama, Saw it Again and Wedge this run and got two of the three within an extended jam! The energy was really high and the playing matched but perhaps a bit sloppy at times. 2nd Set was pretty solid but could have been better had Big Red not cut down some jams and songs. No one saw that Fluff coming for the encore so a good start to hit the road- definitely looking forward to moving on to the next one.

Pitts- First time at Star Lake and was very impressed with the facility and surroundings. Perfect night for a Phish show and sat on the spacious yet inviting lawn with great friends and melted the night away. Really liked the first set and am a bit surprised it hasn't received more acclaim. MULE and YEM were full of sound and light shenanigans which closed out a very solid first set. 2nd set for me is why we keep coming back. Not your standard Sat night Mike's Groove, very creative and tons of jamming. Super fun set that sent us on our way with a stellar Slave and encore Lizards- seriously. Great Sat night phish show at a very impressive facility- one of those nights.

Clv- Who doesn't like Blossom? One of my favorite venues but like many of us, the boys felt a bit tired and perhaps a little uninspired with not much connecting- perhaps brought out the Meatstick. Second set was decidedly different and smoked from start to finish. The Golden Age song and following jam was damn good and jammy and it brought out the Ghost. Classic phish song played with refreshing ideas and direction. Blossom seems to release some fun covers and the Teaser Tweezer did not disappoint with Under pressure/ice ice baby teases plus Seems to Me cover all after the pre-reprise. Nice landing with The Horse -> Silent in the Morning but the Piper, Waste, Antelope really closed out the night and weekend nicely.

All and all a very fun run with excellent weather and about 1000 miles of travel. Looks like next weekend is gonna be STEAMY from the stage thru the lot. Gonna be a nasty, hot and humid, midwestern weekend- calling for high 90's temps with no chance of rain. Ugh. Bring plenty of water. Anyone camping at Sleeping Baer?
