Bravo. Enjoyed this review. On paper this show looked like a bit of a dud to me, which these days comes down to one thing for me: song selection. HOWEVER, in these days of Phish, what the band plays is of lesser importance than HOW the band plays what it plays. I cued up the first set at the beach and sat down to give it a proper listen. What I heard you described perfectly. A fantastic first set of Phish with an absolute monster cherry Carini on top.

I’ll be revisiting this one again and look forward to reading more of your reviews.
