Just finished the relisten. Being my first actual show after having "couch toured" on and off since 2016, this was super special for me. Torn and Frayed intro was a appropriate and fun. Little no mans jam picked the energy up a bit, leaves kinda sapped it, and then... the banter before SOAM! Got me right in the mood. A nice dark jam followed the composed bit. Tube kept that feeling going, and then Been Around and Ha Ha Ha just made the crew go wild! Shade is a favorite slower one for me, so I appreciated it... and believe it or not, so is Alaska! nice bluesy throwdown from Page. Golgi finished it up nicely (though just a fine version)

Yeah yeah "it was written before the Pandemic" yada yada; I still don't like that they're playing sigma oasis. people are impressionable, and shouting take off your mask (while I was masked in the pit with my crew, some of whom were hearing the song for the first time) was just kinda... bleh. Not a bad song but yeah. What's the Use is a glorious little piece, but didn't feel right here energy-wise. Blaze on got us back on track--but then Life Boy. Again, not a bad slow phish song, I just thing they went a little too slow for opening a three day weekend after a break. and then the highlight of the show: a super fat and funky 17 minute camel walk! everyone was getting down. high fives galore. very epic. chalk dust kept up the energy, but didn't particularly wow me--then I got right up front for a top five set closer, Slave. Well played, but not an all timer. Still figuring out how i feel about drift while you're sleeping.

Overall, a bit disjointed for sure, but the peaks (SOAM through Ha Ha Ha, Alaska, Camel Walk, Slave) were a ton of fun. Gorge is an amazing place to see a show
