AustinTxNate This show is close to a 5 for me. Top to bottom, great show that I will be listening to - all the way through - for a while. My wife and I flew up from Austin for this run, and night two takes the cake easy for me. This show is silky smooth, Aunt Jemima syrup. Not Friday night ragey, machine gun trey, super psychedelic/spacey, or a deep cut, bust out Sunday show, but rather a perfect blend of them all.

First set starts with a solid Mike's to set the tone. Quickly followed by a stretched Wolfman's, and very well played Ya Mar - with a bit of extra plinko sauce from Trey. 46 days had a raging peak, and Axilla had the belated Birthday shout out to CK5 - "Don't shine that in my eye man...Just cause it was your birthday yesterday.." Really enjoyed the two Sci Fi Soldier tunes, and they felt like they were jammed and both perfectly placed.

I will say all the ballads tonight were unique and well played. In particular Lifeboy.

Second set it just straight fire. They hose came out from NMINML all the way through Weekapaug. The NMINL really got it going and there is some interplay there were the boys were dancing on the notes. Down got spacey and the spaceship landed. Don't doubt me was a perfect choice next and the second jam ended up being really solid.

I dare say the highlight was the transition into Golden Age > Lifeboy > Fluff > Groove. Nothing wasted in this second set.

Could have used a Cavern or something to end after Slave, but it did feel right for the Wednesday night.

All in all this is in the top 10-20% of Phish shows I've seen and gets extra points for being amazing top to bottom.
