I’m eagerly awaiting the follow-up post about Marnie and her Loving Cup meltdown.

When phish is on, it sounds unique. Like, it’s still the band and the song you’ve heard a hundred times, but something’s better. This occurs most often when they’re relaxed and loose. MSG opens them up in that way. Other venues too… Alpharetta, MGM, Dicks, etc.

When they came back in ‘09 they were understandably not loose. Still great music, but not “Phish as great as it could be.” Since 2012, we’ve had more and more of those loose moments. More and more as the years roll by, especially post-Covid. (Fall 2021 … ⚡️).

It seems that they’re about as happy and loose as I’ve ever seen them. This run at MSG was a celebration of loose, fun, grateful Phish.
