This was a really solid show, especially for N1 Friday standards. Box of Rain opener for Phil set the tone. Simply beautiful.

All of the songs in set 1 had a little extra mustard on them. This version of Free was definitely more notable than the usual run of the mill Frees we get as of late. Excellent placement for NMINML, Theme had a good jam, and Sand rocked on the way out.

Piper in Set 2 was spectacular. On stage, we could see Mike pushing back against Trey when they started to jam, which is probably why we got such a standout version here. Tweezer was an interesting choice, I’m never upset to hear it, however after that Piper, there’s just no way any other song was going to jam harder tonight… still a good version. Trey shut down Mike trying to jam Shakedown in The Howling. Monsters is a spectacular song. And Carini didn’t have to go as hard as it did.

Ghost was a little unnecessary in the encore slot, I could see Trey mouth “no” to Mike right before the started it up. Monkey > Tweeprise would’ve been cleaner but I’ll never complain about more Phish.

Great show. Looking forward to seeing where they go from here with N2!
