Attended! My first time at Alpine. The vibe and scene here versus the day before at Tinley Park were polar opposites. I loved everything about Alpine except the ankle breaking lawn.

SET 1: Theme From the Bottom: Big, ol’ peak. Audience loves this one. I do too.

Punch You in the Eye: Nice energetic and extended intro.

Ghost: Like so many from this tour you have your funk section, then a hard rocking section. This one mellows out a good bit around the ten and a half minute mark until the end. Nice ambient section. ->

Taste: Very strong as you would expect from this tour. Big pause after the song as the crowd goes wild.

Dogs Stole Things: Standard.

Reba: Awesome version, absolutely soaring. Feel like this one is an all timer and one of the best I have seen in person. Live Bait Vol. 11

Lawn Boy: Standard. >

Crossroads: This blew me away! Super fun first set.

SET 2: Wilson: Standard. >

Foam: Very, very rare to see this in the second set. This was the last time ever that Foam has showed up in the second set as of this writing on June 9, 2023, and it has only happened I think 44 times in 348 times played. How about that funky 97 Trey plays for a good while in his solo? Pretty cool and surely unique for this tune! Awesome version, all timer!

Mike's Song: LOOOOOOOVE the loops at 11 and a half and how ominous things get after that ->

Ain't Love Funny: Last time played. ->

Simple: Standard. ->

Swept Away > Steep: Standard. >

Scent of a Mule: Huge, huge wall of sound built up – crowd goes wild. A few false endings.

Slave to the Traffic Light: >

Weekapaug Groove: Great stuff here, an absolute barnburner. The 3 and a half minute mark and beyond has some glorious Trey.

ENCORE: When the Circus Comes:

Rocky Top

Replay Value: Theme From the Bottom, Ghost, Taste, Reba, Foam, Scent of a Mule, Slave to the Traffic Light, Weekapaug Groove

Summary: An absolute barn burner. I have attendance bias, but it is well documented that this is an epic show loved far and wide by many, many fans and for good reason. Reba and Foam are all timers supported by tons of other great highlights! Phish.net has this one nailed as it’s rated at 4.469/5 (209 ratings).
