Last night was the second summer tour opener I've had the pleasure of attending. My impressions of what Phish served up give me hope for the future. The first set showed the pride and enthusiasm they have for the new material. Some might say that the band tentatively delivered songs from Fuego. I think they are being careful with the newer compositions. I'd like to see these newer tunes expand. Nonetheless, "Halfway To The Moon" was heartfelt and tight.

"555" has the potential to be a bass & drum showcase. Prior to the show I was hoping if this song might segue into "Camel Walk". Alas, that didn't happen. However the "Stash" that was played was triumphant both for the band and CK5.

"Bouncing" brought me back to 7/1/95. My past and future collided.

"Wingsuit" is a beautiful song that is already personal and special. This is one song that "feels good." to me. Many of my fellow fans took this time to head to the bathroom. Time should allow this track to evolve and grow on those whochoose to listen. Mike on power drill was also a nod to '95.

Much has already been stated about this second set. "Mike's," and "Simple" were noteworthy. I always have fun hearing "Simple" because, I often wonder, "What is a band without skyscrapers?"

"Free" has a new meaning for me at this point in my life. I though it was well placed in the set. It also showed me that Phish is the correct band to provide the soundtrack to my summer. They have knack for choosing meaningful songs for turning points...Or maybe, I'm just quick to make the connection.

From "Ghost" through the encore, I believe Phish decided to "fly". Caution was thrown out the window "'cause it feels good." There was some fluid funk on display. People for a louder Mike (you know who you are), this is a second set worth listening to Mr. Gordon was "dropping bombs" here.

I'm thankful to have been a part of this show. I am tired and satisfied. Happy that Phish decided to "keep it rolling."
