Feetoid Alright now that Crowd Control's out of the way I'm calling a long shot; Human opener next show. You know, the 80's song by Human League (it's my go to track right after I've accidentally performed a sloppy transition or "trainwreck" when I'm spinning records for people). https://youtu.be/zfyWct2FJBU /> Btw I haven't listened to this show yet I'm just offering my trolling 2 cents here.

At least what Phish does as a band is so hard that mistakes-in Human's context- or in this case nights like this actually CAN happen unlike, for example; the numerous EDM DJ/producers and/or Rap acts that dominate today's pop music & festival circuit with their cheap, craven, pre programmed, NON HUMAN "robot sets" or shows (we've all seen Bob Weirs jab at this in National Lampoon's Electric Apricot, even if it is a mockumentary). Not the best comparison but I went to my first Coachella (2nd weekend) this year after scoring a free VIP wristband from a friend and wow, what a mess. Aside from LCD Soundsystem, a couple solid real DJ's/ bands, crossing G&R off my bucket list and the obvious eye candy bombardment it was musically very bad/contrived; especially compared to a Phish show cuz hell, we all know that even their light show is performed in real time #
ck5.

When I was at Wrigley 2 I sincerely believed (especially after the review of said show here validated my theory) that they snuck in the GTBT first set "encore" after Cavern as a way to make up for or even rationalize-through lyrics-Fishman's "dead air" flub in Cavern. As cheesy as it might be Human would also serve as a hilarious post mess up song for them to start playing I think because after all, they're only Human.
