For the second year in a row after hearing the 12/29 show I found myself saying “there is no way that they will top that”. Much to my delight, I have been wrong on both occasions.

This show was great top to bottom. Fantastic first set. What a treat to get a Curtis Loew and a Corrina. The highlight of the first set, which time will likely forget due to what was to come, was the 17 minute Blaze On. I have been fortunate to catch this one quite a bit and never have I enjoyed it more than tonight’s. The jam was patient and exploring. I also really enjoyed the high powered 46 days

There isn’t much that I can even say about the second set. The set started with one of the all time great Tweezers (Dare i say THE msg Tweezer) and then never let up. And they added in some classic phish antics with the pan story. Perfectly executed Ruby Waves (which I was convinced would be the gag song) Steam that went back into Tweezer and then back to Ruby Waves before finishing with an absolutely gorgeous Slave. Perfect.

For me this show was perfect. It had everything I’m looking for. Great song selection, rarities, antics and incredible playing. This is why I Phish

5 Stars.
