Review by DetroitPhishy76

DetroitPhishy76 Flew from Detroit metro for my 1st ever Dick’s run and now I know why Phans make the pilgrimage every year. Great venue, beautiful scenery, one of the largest shakedown streets you will see and Phish always throws down at Dick’s. Hell, even the cops were chill. I have this one at the top for this run. Narrowly, and I mean razor thin, edging out N3. Wolfman’s to start and it gets oh so funky and had my ass dancing right away. Sparkle into Gin had me feeling like the 90’s. BOTT, Halfway to the moon and Bouncing don’t stray to far into unchartered territory, although you would be foolish to skim over the BOTT. Next a wonderfully played Stash into an Esther which caught me off guard in a most sublime way. Finish the set with a Bowie and we are halfway through a heater. Set II starts off with the jam of the entire weekend for me…..Sand. This one was special, Probably the most inspired jam of the run. I was at the 34 minute 6/5/22 Sand from DC and this one is just as if not better than that one. Top notch Phish here. NMINML is next and the peak and last 6 minutes are fire! Next up is a straight forward Llama. If you like your Llama’s fsst & furious this one is for you. The slow down comes next and I read a reviewer speak to how they only like a couple slow down songs and Mountains is one and I have to agree. My first one live in person and it did not disappoint. Complete SASS with intro is just icing on the cake and standard straightforward shine a light takes us home. For the Encore we start off with a Wilson which is a great way to get the. Crowd going but then we are hit with a 17 minute bohemeth of a SOAM. I’ve always said, SOAM is best enjoyed Live when you can watch CK5 land that monster alien ship won’t he lights and this one was no exception. Just a frenzied and jammy ride. Overall this show has no weaknesses and is one of the better Phish shows I have seen in person. Definitely one of the top shows of this tour. The whole Dick’s run was amazing but N2 and N3 made the cost of hotel and flight from Detroit worth every Penny. For me, Mike was the MVP of this particular show as well as this entire run. As always thank you Phish and see you all in Dayton….
