Review by RR1994

RR1994 I think this show is about as good a show as you could possibly expect Phish to play in 2024. If this show just doesn’t do it for you at all, you might as well hang it up and enter into retired jaded vet status.

This show touched on every possible style that Phish has in the arsenal. Free and Tube (with the funk siren!) brought the dance party in full in the first set. Reba with the gorgeous soundscape against the sunset was as beautiful as they can get. The second set was as jammy as they can get with segues all over the place. Divided Sky, Harry Hood, and Fluffhead had perfect placements and gave the crowd a chance to take everything in with the classics of old.

But this show will probably be most remembered for the secret set, which I can say is the best one I’ve ever heard out of all the fests, if only for the sheer diversity of the music played. Typically, these sets hone in on a particular type of sound - the hazy Tower jam, or the drone-esque vibe of the Drive In Jam. This one last night was more like the Tahoe Tweezer, effortlessly floating from style to style every few minutes. This jam singularly captured every style that phish can play in a single jam. There’s really nothing else like it. It’s like a celebration of their entire career.

There’s not much else to say. If this isn’t a five star show, I don’t know what is.
