This show was hit and miss, even for 2.0 standards. I brought my friend Jerry to see his first show, and he was blown away, but this was my first taste of sloppy Phish, and I was not all that happy. YEM> Simple was a great way to start the show, but they were both sloppy, as was the CDT. After this show, everyone was going on and on about the Gin. It was good, but for me the show was all about the Piper. This Piper is phenomenal! I'll go ahead and say it; BEST Piper ever! The Twist was very nice, and I love the psychedelic segue into Scents. This was the first time I have heard Scents, and I liked it, but thought it needed some serious work. Some of the riffs reminded me of a Who song in places!
A sloppy Mike's Groove closed.
My buddy Jerry got to hear two of his all-time favorite covers at this show: Boogie On and Loving Cup. He and I grew up on Exile on Main Street, and we raged this encore hard!

Overall, the show was okay, but really good at times. So much better than the next night .
