rudy79 Just some weirdnesses I haven't seen discussed. First, Undermind was really funky, and Fishman's drumming was great in that tune...a constantly percolating rhythm that defies a simple 1-3 or 2-4 beat. It seemed Trey thought so, and set up for a drum solo at the end. Fishman either missed the cue or refused the moment, and the song fell apart. In Seven Below, Page usually plays a really cool electronic keyboard lead a couple of minutes into the song. Last night, he played that on the piano. I think the techs were working in his area a few moments earlier, so maybe he had to go to Plan B because of technical problems.

Otherwise, this was a fun show to attend, with some definite highlights. The White Album tunes were both solid and appreciated rarities. Twist was the star of the show, with a exploratory and fiery Type II jam. The Chalk Dust Torture set two closer seemed a little faster than usual, which just added to its intensity. Two Phish originals, Undermind and Alaska, have a strong Little Feat influence, and were well played last night (except as noted above.)

If you weren't at this show, it isn't a necessary download, but you'll enjoy it if you get it.
