spreaditround SET 1: Wilson: Standard. >

Poor Heart: Standard. >

Guelah Papyrus: Standard.

Divided Sky: Standard. The infamous sitting down during the silent part as organized by Phish.net

Wolfman's Brother: Standard.

Foam: Crushed this one, knocked it out of the park.

If I Could: Interesting how there is not a big finale in this one, just kind of goes quietly into the night.

Julius: Melted many a face.

The Squirming Coil: Beautiful solo from Page.

SET 2: Also Sprach Zarathustra: Fantastic opener! >

Down with Disease: This one has a pre-cursor to the 97 funk! Fishman puts on a clinic in the last few minutes of this one, shows why he is an all-time great behind the kit! ->

It's Ice: That was a very difficult segue to attempt to pull off and I would say they almost managed to do it. Cool jam in the middle featuring great interplay between Page and Trey.

Halley's Comet: Standard with about a 90 second jam after Halley’s proper

Over the Rainbow: Had to be there’d

Waste: Standard

Talk: Trey tells everyone how they just recorded the new album in Bearsville in an old barn with a stream right outside – staying up all night for two months straight. Many will agree this is when the hard partying era really started – at Bearsville. Believe that sentiment is backed up by a Trey interview, Rolling Stone perhaps?

Train Song: Standard.

Strange Design: Standard.

Amazing Grace: Standard.

Mike's Song: Super intense! When they wind down at the end – it gets pretty sloppy. This is a must hear version though – for any era… >

I Am Hydrogen: Standard. >

Weekapaug Groove: Smokin!!!

ENCORE: Cavern – Standard, very fast!

Summary – Really good show I thought. Big time version of DWD and Mike’s. Nice supporting cast with It’s Ice leading that charge and Foam. I think the rating from Phish.net on this one is on the money at Overall 4.046/5 (87 ratings).

Replay Value: Down with Disease, It's Ice, Mike's Song.
