“At this point, I’m just going to pause the review to come out and say one of my controversial modern Phish opinions: Nowadays, I generally am more interested in the jams that grow out of new songs. The band seems more excited to play those songs and they tend to be more unpredictable in where they go. Obviously, there is no shortage of great jams of old songs in recent years, but I find the new songs to be more predictably unpredictable.”

Totally agree. At least for Trey last night, his confidence and dexterity seem to be a lot higher on the newer material. Maybe just a combo of more comfortable and less complicated music, it allows the whole band to really vibe off each other more than some of the precision and demanding elements of older stuff.

Fun night, but average show that doesn’t hold much of a candle to Saturday.
