whatstheuse324 The first set last night was off the hook, I don't know where the hate comes from. CTB had some excellent improv and interplay despite a flubbed ending. Stealing Time hit all the usual peaks with some fire behind it. Everyone was singing and dancing to Ginseng Sullivan and they covered up well when Mike forgot the opening lines to the second verse. Wolfman's was a surprise because I figured they would save it for Halloween, and they nailed it as usual. Sparkle was flawless, Walk Away was awesome. Divided Sky is my favorite song and it was played perfectly and with high energy during the outro jam. Melt took us all down a black hole and back again. I remember telling my friend next to me that this was the kind of black hole that Phish is unafraid to go down, which separates them from any other jam band. Julius was butter on the popcorn.

The second set was full of jaw dropping improv and extended versions of DWD and 20YL. They also played strong versions of Taste, Piper, and Number Line. Trey started YEM before Mike got the memo, but they finished strong. Follow this with a three song encore with Reba in the middle and you end up with one of the best shows of an already powerful tour. I left Reading in awe of what I had just witnessed. This show had everything I wanted. Excellent song selection, precision playing, extended jams, and REBA in the encore. Five stars. Phish is amazing and can do anything right now.
