Extremely interesting to listen to; it may be over thinking but I hear so many stylistic/structure burrowings and while it's all uniquely Phish, I wanna give my impressions/connections as I hear them; I know I’m out of order with my reviews but here goes:

Wingsuit- Sounds like the beginning to a Styx Rock Opera!

The Line- I am a Michigan State Alum/current student, and the missed free-throws for Mr. Washington weren’t against MSU, they (according to the Internet Machine) were against Louisville in a conference tournament. Topical writing? Bob Dylan style, thought I would get the story right if were entering into that foray.

Monica- The Golden Road to Unlimited Devotion?!? Peppy

Waiting All Night- I hear the 2011 Waves Soundcheck Jam in the opening, and then in bits and pieces (along with some summer 2013/Tahoe Tweeze Taboot) throughout the song

Snow- Doesn't the guitar sound like Dave Crosby's in Guinivere? Love it anyway

555- who doesn’t want to hear a 555 jam?!?! It seems to intentionally link into the Cloud Jamming style that I labeled so many of the ‘Type 2’ excursions I heard in 2011 (and then again in 2012- see the Cuyahoga Golden-Ghost). Jam and a REPRISE!

Winterqueen- Reminded me starkly of the F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story ‘The Ice Palace’
You Never Know- All Things Reconsidered with lyrics? Very mature and reflective.

Overall- The Whale is used as a tool. The whole set flashed me back to the 2010 Raleigh show, perhaps the Whale’s most front and center moment. Say what you want, I enjoyed that show and the Trey’s usage in these songs; it wasn’t over the top, it was tasteful.
The Trey dialogue- He may be self-conscious, but that’s NOTHING NEW! The scenes from Bittersweet Hotel showcase this. While the pretense for his self-consciousness may (and most certainly are) different from that era, you’ve got to empathize with his/the band’s undertaking in this show. For them, it must have been exponentially more nerve-wracking then playing someone else’s material, Phish-Style.

What an effort from the guys. It’s above my likes and dislikes a la Sam G.

Final Note- Sparty has got Big Brother in the game later today; I know we have an inferiority complex to the Wolverines; they won a lot of games in the 1910’s and 40’s. Seriously though, while I’m all hate this early morning, I’d love to be able to spend twice as much as the MSU program for an average 1.2 extra wins per season over the last 15 years. My grapes are sour.
