Review by lofus99

lofus99 I was there. But let's be honest, the 1st set was nothing but a warm up. Gin and 46 do not deserve Jam chart status. Fuego is way more deserving...so is Wolfman. Maybe a couple of field goals at best. 6 point half, despite the solid opening 4 part play. Brilliant 3rd quarter! Wolfman sets the tone and deserves a field goal, but Blaze and Golden are both worth 7 point touchdowns each! It's an early Blaze and Fish's beat is not really working well for the singing and he has changed that over time, but it drives a very great improv! Really strong. But this Golden is amazing! One of the very best all time. Obviously not going to knock the one from Vegas 2016 off the podium, but it has to be one of the top contenders. Really cool improv from Page in the middle as Trey steps back and then it goes on a sweet jazzy exploration > Fuego. This Fuego has a great little jam on the jazzy offbeat solo in Fuego proper (oh how I wish they would take that part for a drive...) but the 5 minutes of ending jam is really strong! Starts with power and then floats like a butterfly. The Walls is actually well over 11 minutes not as per live Phish 4 minutes, and does rage. for another field goal on top of the Fuego Touchdown. But no more points in the 4th quarter. This could have been a psychedelic masterpiece....but does not quite get there. Too much filler. Final score: 6 and 27 = 33 Not bad considering the low scoring 1st half! But you have to play a full 60 minutes to be a greatest show of all time. Those ones have a score into the 60s. Look at 7-17-98 for a perfect 2nd half example of a psychedelic masterpiece. That one passes the acid test.
