This was my first phish show since 12/31/96.

I saw they were coming to town and thought that this would be a good "first rock concert" for my daughter who is twelve.

We sat up on the lawn and I think the fans were totally nice and energetic and friendly as I expected.

When the music started I thought "this sounds like a reggae set". It was very very chill and grooving versus the phish I remember from about 20 years ago.

The only song I knew was Free and it was good. In the second set my lack of song knowledge and the general lawn atmosphere made it seem like one nice long jam with various riffs/lyrics punctuating the middle from time to time.

My daughter got tired near the end and took a nap during one song, but overall she liked the show and said "thanks for taking me" the next day. I may have spoiled her for other bands' Shoreline concerts she will end up going to over the years.

The more rocking Cavern and Character Zero were a great way to snap everyone to life and energize us for the next time.
