RovingReporter Ok. I haven’t walked out of a show so damn happy and fulfilled since 8/6/17. First set was so fun, they clicked on everything. Trey with the trickery! YEM to close it told me we were in for a very special end to a magical weekend.

Set two through the encore might be my first or second favorite set I’ve ever experienced. I can’t yet put into words exactly what I mean so I’ll explain like this. Fluffhead was simply outstanding. I was jumping up and down like a person possessed. Started getting some tears of pure joy. The people in our area were so fun, so nice, so INTO it all. Few chompers to speak of, and the one time I politely asked the guys near us to please quiet a bit and they were very understanding (Sea of Stars, it’s a song I feel needs quiet from the crowd) and stopped being loud. Kudos to them for being cool, as in the past I’ve had people get in my face when I have asked to either quiet a bit or take it elsewhere. If you’re reading this, thank you, you all are awesome fans.

Then Number Line. The song holds such a special meaning to me, reminding me of two of my best friends who are no longer with us. Almost felt like it was a message, telling me they’re ok where they are. Yeah, I know how cheesy that sounds but whatever, I don’t care. Dancing with all those awesome people singing ALL MY FRIENDS filled me with a joy that I only achieve at Phish.

I’m still smiling ear to ear and the final show of this run is something I’ll always look back upon with such fondness. Thanks Phish, and thank you to all the amazing new friends we met this weekend.
