In attendance with my right hand man Bob. What a great indoor arena, with little to no security. Lots of energy once again, coming of the 12/29/18 show for me. Cool Amber was a perfect song to kick it off (Faceplant into Rock samples are so freakin awesome) followed by 46 Days for Leigh. Next came Stash, which was most certainly and surprisingly the highlight of the show. I was expecting a standard Stash, but got a gem. Tube was awesome and once again was stretched. Are Set 1’s now better than Set 2’s?? Drift while sleeping is such a great tune, and Phish nailed it. The second set kicked off with a great NMINML. Which lead us through a line up of 10 min jams. Not lengthy but plenty of pop. Piper gets the second best song of the night with its killer peaks. LxL started for which I hoped for a set closer similar to recent SOAM’s. We got Slave instead, first world problems. I love TITC and we got the dance rendition as well. Character Zero closes us out. Awesome opening night. About an easy 15 minute walk back to the hotel, and we do it again tonight.

Back to lack of security- one issue. What was with the Nitrous balloons everywhere?!? We can do better.
