Really strong show, start to finish. The band had the courtesy to get funky bitch out of the way while we were finding our seats. They were locked in for the next three tunes. typically HOT wolfmans, then curtain with was beautiful!! the highlight of set I, it really showcased the best aspects of 2013 phish. very emotive playing. Vultures 46 days was an unexpected and satisfying way to close the set after four typical tunes. vultures had the woo-ing during the ending (which led to a little confusion as to if the song would ever end . . .) and since trey wanted it to happen I woo'd along in spite of myself. fortunately it was the only appearance of the woos and I think that is just the right amount.

during setbreak my buddy commented that set I seemed a little short, I told him I'd trade the Taste>Cavern for more meat in set II. turned out to be pretty accurate as set II was almost 90 minutes of very solid phish. Waves>Carini delivered the goods, strong jamming out of the gate. both songs went to great places, carini in particular found a superjuicy groove, don't sleep on it just because it's short. it was the highlight of the show for me. Caspian #line was a good palate cleanser before the really strong 4th quarter. no long jams but each one made it's point, Ghost was creepy before building to a firey peak and settling into a well-placed dirt, then DWD>Sally mirrored the vultures 46 days as being unexpected at that point in the set. Cavern Antelope was frosting, the antelope is short and to the point but also totally unexpected.

and a four-song encore . . . the band didn't want the show to end any more than we did.

can't wait for tonight!!
