Review by Hippogator

Hippogator God damn this show ripped. Excellent first set, loved where Subtle Sounds went. Nice an old school with Leaves added in which is musically beautiful.
.

2nd set was really great, haven't been a fan of Final Hurrah, but this one felt dialed in like they all have agreed on what kind of song it is. BOWIE this segue into Bowie was flawless and the bands playings is top notch. The ending was great and Trey pullrd the ending lick incredibly well. Blows my mind that abyone would say this tune "needs to be shelved" like what? Also have seen that reviewer say things like "this song was nevermeant to be played this way" like they were the one that wrote the music. As ghandi once said:"I adore your Phish, but I despise their followers". (Sorry I love calling out anti-phans).

Pillow Jets is an odd song but the jam was deep and dark and psychedelic. Fuego is an odd placement but I'll take it. Followed by Ruby Waves was also not totally my thing, but alas the jam vehicle that it is is truly spectacular.

LOVED the atypical Character Zero, got real phishy funky there for a minute instead of the usual rock shred..... and then oh yes SLAVE. (Again imagine saying that this tune needs to be shelved, so silly). We called the Slave so we were very excited for it. Such a beautiful anthem for this beautiful band.

I will never take for greanted the absolute improvisational wizardry of this band, it's like playing the lottery except you almost always win. Can't wait for night 2.
