Strange. I am what most would consider a jaded oldbie, and I thought last night was the best Phish show I've seen or heard in a very long time. There was a constant musical conversation, or an attempt at one - no silos, lots of listening. Trey's tone was consistently amazing; Page was more present in the mix than usual. Both were very playful during otherwise ho-hum moments; listen to Trey's little fills during the Poor Heart verses, or some of his licks during the verses of Weekapaug.

Yeah, Fuego hasn't gone full-jam the way I'd enjoy it to, but this was another nice one. When my only complaints are that I wish Roses was jammed instead of straight (no chaser) and that I wish SOAM (as a set closer) had a little more direction, I'd call it a damn solid show. It didn't have the "peak jam" or grand-slam of some of my other favorite 3.0 shows but it was a steady barrage of doubles off the wall, everything well played. Even Secret Smile (usually a break for me but I sat and listened and enjoyed).

YMMV but I had a hell of a time last night on my own couch tour.
