Review by geogaddi

geogaddi first set was decent, definitely an improvement from the night before. Mikes through paug didn't have too much to rave about, but it was extremely hot and everyone on the lawn seemed pretty exhausted and unfocused anyway. Character zero is nice to see in a non-encore slot with a very nice jam section that had a little more juice than usual. Maze was an interesting one, Trey didn't get up in pages zone and ring out those dissonant chords to compliment page as much, he stayed at his usual spot and that section played out a bit differently. Reba was really nice, had my friend sobbing, and who doesn't want an izabella?

set two was solid, and again I think an improvement from the night before. Chalkdust, plasma, and fuego are all highlights that contained focused jamming that had the whole crowd engaged. The jam that I suppose we're attaching to guy forget (I interpreted it live as C&P -> GF -> C&P, but what do I know?) was stunningly beautiful. I adore this type of ambient stuff and am always surprised that it doesn't get talked about more. At points towards the end of this ~4 minute jam, the reverbs/delays/pads were louder than the dry instruments, swelling in volume between the front and back of the mix, it felt like the ambient drones were gonna entirely take over, which tbh is exactly my dream. Gotta scope the AUDs for this one because as usual the SBD has most of the wet ambient reverby/paddy stuff real low in the mix or entirely inaudible. Quite honestly one of the most beautiful things I've seen phish do in 73 shows, but I know by now that this is very subjective and personal to me. This type of stuff doesn't seem to do much for most phans.
