Another 20+ minute opener! Nobody in my section picked Fluffhead to open and that's the way we like it haha. There were no stretched out jams this night but it didn't matter. The setlist was fire. The band sounded amazing. The way they played every song could've been a set closer. There was no holding back. But I think many would agree however that the highlight of this show has to be the encore which my friends have deemed as a 3rd set. This is Dicks 2023 people.

I think we would've been satisfied with just a solid theme from the bottom to end the night. And solid it was. I love way Trey has changed the opening of this song to have more bounce and variety. Heard him play it like that in MSG earlier this year and I'm glad he did it again. But anyways, as we all know now, there was more to this encore then anybody could've saw coming. Mango Song was a treasure, I love this song. I knew they couldn't end it there though, but anything is possible. But as I thought they played a 3rd. Don't Doubt Me is one of the most fun new additions to the Phish song rotation in recent years. It would be a strange closer I thought but this must be the last song. Nope! Let's goooo. Four song encore, they go into Evolve, a very beautiful song but not my favorite. Who cares, the show was amazing and this version of Evolve is fantastic. Wait... What? They are not done?! The first notes of Golgi are played and me and the rest of Dicks go wild. 5 fuckin songs. This Golgi hits the peaks you'd expect, the crowd loves it. As they start going through the last riffs of Golgi one of my friends says he's going to try to beat the crowd and says his goodbyes; runs up the stairs. He is not alone, the whole row in front of me has left as well. Thankfully before he walked out, he heard the first notes of yes... A sixth song. Never leave a show too early! This is no longer just an encore at this point. And the band plays the song people were begging for through the first 6 sets of this Dicks run. Antelope begins and pure overwhelming joy fills my body. This is why we keep coming back. This band delivers. Amazing, love this band, love the crowd, see y'all tomorrow.
