spreaditround SET 1: Julius: Heater to get things moving out of the gate. >

My Friend, My Friend: Quite intense!

Ya Mar: Standard.

Chalk Dust Torture, The Sloth: These two have the fire in their belly.

Uncle Pen, Free: Standard. >

Theme From the Bottom: Cool version that gets beyond what to expect from Theme. Not way beyond, but beyond what to expect. Good jam for sure.

Bold As Love: Jimi, happy birthday! Will take this tune anywhere anytime. Had not closed a first set since 9.24.88. The last significant jammed DWD was 8.16.96. This version is very solidly jammed with great length. The segue into Jesus is great!

SET 2: Down with Disease: The last significant jammed DWD was 8.16.96. This version is very solidly jammed with great length. The segue into Jesus is great! ->

Jesus Just Left Chicago: Good version. >

Scent of a Mule: Is it just me or is every 96 version a jam charts version, lol?!

Tweezer -> Sweet Emotion Jam: This Tweezer while short is very funky and a glimpse into what is to come the following year. ->

Down with Disease: Amazing segue that is being worked on 22 seconds before actually going full blown DWD.

The Star Spangled Banner, Fire. ENCORE: Waste > Tweezer Reprise: All standard. Another nod to Jimi playing Fire.

Summary: Theme, DWD, and Tweezer all have replay value. First set is super solid with Theme giving us something new and unique. The whole second set is just outstanding, a true Phish throwdown. 4.43 is currently the rating but I would feel a bit more conservative and go with a 4.3/5.
