Appreciate the character work here my friend, well done. Gives it a bit of spice in a sea of the same recap flavor over and over, a bit like my home city. Just that little bit of oomph to remind you that Austin is a bit different, even if it isn't as different as it used to be. Times change I reckon.

Anywho... last night was a glorious show to behold for us short timers. Ya see, I've only had the pleasure of experiencing this here band in my adopted home state. Both Friday and Saturday rank EASILY as the two best shows ever performed in Texas. Those jams were something else and what can I say about closing things out with Waste? It was the song I sang my wife when we first met and it is as close to her heart as could be. I held her tight and told her I loved her. Phish was a bonding thing that synced our relationship from "this might be something we have here" to "yep, I'm gonna put a ring on your finger and spend my life with you." To see them live together, to see two shows that elevated my love for this band, to have my face melted, rebuilt and then melted all over again? I couldn't ask for more.

This tour is something special. Something surely to behold. I'm a lucky bastard that they came back here and put on a couple of barn burners to put as big a smile on my face as could be.

I would have loved to hear Possum considering that all the art around the arena had a possum riding a longhorn (Moody is on the campus of the University of Texas, home of the Longhorns). There are a ton of others that I wanted to hear, my wife and I made lists. But considering how few shows I've seen (compared to everyone else on this sight) I consider myself lucky for Moonage Day Dream, Daniel Saw the Stone, The Well, Crowd Control, and a truly epic pairing of Ruby Waves and Golden Age (from Friday).

All in all, hell of a couple of nights of live music that I was worried I'd never see again. Here's hoping they won't wait another 7 years to come back round these parts!
