hambone024 Y'all are suffering the 2015 summer tour hangover. Maybe S2 wasn't the best set of 2015, but it worked as a set, with a lot of concise yet punchy jamming that felt cohesive. I used to live for their wandering, but appreciate how they now manage to pack in more in 12 minutes than they used to in 20. I was surprised when I realized later that Piper was only 8 minutes. Sure, there are familiar tricks in these jams, but that's typical to Phish, no matter the era. Trey's echo effect could be getting old, like everything else he's played with for sustained periods over the years. But, I liked the way he got more of a rhythm out of it on this, particularly in Tweezer. And that segue into Steam, and the way Trey worked out the lower octaves with more fullness than what seems usual for the song. I'll definitely relisten to this set a bunch. May not end up the best of 2016, but it's a keeper, even if it doesn't have 20 minute monsters.
