spreaditround PHISH, FRIDAY 02/23/2024
MOON PALACE
Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico

SET 1:

Set Your Soul Free: Standard. Cool segue into Ghost. ->

Ghost: Standard. Interesting segue, would have been awesome but Fish got a little carried away and didn’t catch on as fast as his mates. ->

Fast Enough for You: Standard.

Evolve: Standard.

Mull: Fun little jam. Like this tune and feel it has potential. >

46 Days: Standard. >

Kill Devil Falls: This rocked. Mike dominates for a good portion. Lots of dark energy and intensity. Would recommend. >

Wading in the Velvet Sea: Perfect placement, sublime.

Sigma Oasis: Standard.

SET 2:

Blaze On: Has a bit of length and a solid enough jam to start off the set. >

Chalk Dust Torture[1] - Listened to this a couple of times last week on lengthy drives and both times just got absolutely lost in it. Not going to give a blow by blow on this one at all. What I will say that this is one of the best, long jams they have ever put together. It has been a while since Phish blew me away, but this did exactly that. This jam traverses so much time and space and what I really love is that they take you to some really dark spaces – some very intense spaces. So evil. Those that got to witness this in person are some lucky folks. This is magic. Easy, easy all timer and highly recommended. >

Beneath a Sea of Stars Part 1: The old magic back on display. They literally couldn’t have picked a better follow up tune than this. I would have melted into the sand. >

Backwards Down the Number Line: LOL. They earned it. It’s fine. >

Harry Hood: Standard.

ENCORE:

When the Circus Comes: Standard.

Character Zero: Standard.

Summary: Not as good as 2.22, but it has the jam of the weekend. Would rate this as a 4.3/5.

Replay Value: Kill Devil Falls, Chalk Dust Torture

[1] Unfinished.

Trey teased Mull in 46 Days. Chalk Dust was unfinished and contained a Shipwreck quote. At the end of the show, Trey quoted Buffalo Bill from the film The Silence of the Lambs, saying "It puts the lotion on its skin."
