Review by cd_Zim

cd_Zim I don't generally write reviews on here---(...cuz what's one more opinion drifting around in the Phish-iverse...)---but this show felt special for various reasons: (1.) 'Twas my first MSG show; (2.) The band didn't nail every note, which (by many phans' standards apparently) makes it a "bad" show(?), whatever that means, but any lack of accuracy and speed was more than made up for with offerings of soul currency...(... so whatever hate you might wanna direct at "Twist" should humble itself by relistening to that jam in the middle...); (3.) The song selection was both bangin' and unexpected. I’ll wait while you look up previous showings of "Round Room"... and, how about that "I Always Wanted It This Way"!? It was exactly how I've always wanted to hear that song played live; (4.) This night felt representative of the modern Phishtory era – like a Classic TAB show featuring The Chairman of the Boards and lots of alternate takes on classic hits. (If you don't like this show, I feel like that's more of a "You" problem and less of a Phish problem.... 8^) (Summary.) I would gladly travel backward(s) in Timespace to revisit this evening of music...!
