Watched the webcast, and I’m still looking for my face. I think it melted down into my hoodie. A nice Blaze On to get it going after a standard Buried Alive opener. Trey and Mike’s dancing during Turtle in the Clouds is a riot while Page is hitting the funk with the keys. Standard Sloth, and it’s nice to hear 46 Days here instead of a second set opener. The -> Cities is nice and then a bit of a breakout with Corinna. Ya Mar let mike get into things before a stellar closing with Wolfman’s -> Party Time -> Wolfman’s.
Carini starts off the second set nice and dark. Even though it was short-ish and didn’t jam much...I think Trey was just feeling the energy and couldn’t wait to get into Tweezer. An all time epic Tweez. Twenty minutes of sick spacey muddy funk before an amazing peak then > DDHVL -> a Tweezer that holds its own as a jam, not just some novelty of a few measures of the song, but a straight out Phish jam! At this point, I didn’t care if I was Buried Alive, Death Don’t Hurt Very Long after that. No Quarter is a perfect landing pad to calm everyone down a bit before the pure dance party 2001>First Tube closing. Encore could have been a cover of John Cage’s 4’33”...didn’t matter at that point. Epic show. One of the best I’ve ever seen, certainly the best of 2018. Hope they lay it down tonight with typical 12/30 (or Sunday) style before we get to see what the gag is this year. Happy New Year Pham!
