FACTSAREUSELESS This show is excellent. The CDT, while epic, is not on the level of the Tahoe Tweezer (for consistentcy or originality), nor is at the level of Disease> Carini from the New Year's Run or even the Tweezer or Carini from the Hampton run of last year.

However, the totality of this set, CDT> Light> Tweezer, certainly IS on par with those experiences.

What gives me goosebumps is that we had to wait until the Gorge shows last year before there was jamming of this quality to brag about. Then, with the exception of Tahoe, which was the high water mark of Summer '13, the band appeared to peak during Fall Tour. The New Year's run, though it had numerous highlights, displayed a band which seemed to have lost a little of the edge of Fall Tour, as the playing was considerably more ragged and looser than in the Fall.

Yet here we are, only 10 shows into the summer, and they've been consistently hitting peaks which we raved about in the Fall. Even the average shows this tour have had really memorable and noteworthy moments.

At this rate, we can realistically anticipate a tour that will go down in the books as one of the very best ever. The band is truly in a rennaissance period. Who would have thought this possible four years ago?

Phish Destroys The World Again. Could a Europe '14 be around the corner?

BTW, I personally feel that the Light is the best part of this triumvarate jam.
