Jaw dropping. This was the show LA was waiting for all weekend.

You could tell when they opened with The Landlady it was going to be a night to remember. Cavern in the 2 slot brought the crowd to a frothy peak, ready to burn the Bowl down one last time.

Then. Llama, Sand, Lizards. This show #32 for me (first was Rochester ‘97) and to get Llama and Lizards for the first time was a moment of pure joy. Heavenly.

Hey Stranger kept the good times rolling, until Jerry the Mule came to call. I always want to get a Timber, and this one went really deep, arguably type 2 jam. Joy gave us a moment to scoop our brains back up, only for Page to bring the set home with a stellar Most Events aren’t Planned. His synth at the start made me think I was at a NIN concert, in the best of ways.

Giddy setbreak, back in time for a quick More to spark off the final frame of Spring Tour.

And then. YEM. The Phish song of Phish songs, the rhombus shaped godhead of the Phish experience. This YEM felt like a living breathing spatial entity…it enveloped all in its path and left us changed. Incredible throughout, with a jaw dropping post vocal jam jam. The transition into Twist was so buttery smooth, it felt like Twist just existed fully formed inside YEM and the magicians pulled it out of the hat.

At this point, approximately an hour into set 2, this had already achieved lifetime show status. But wait! There’s more!

KDF rocked out, with a killer jam. Great clearing of the air after the psychedelic masterpiece of YEM—>Twist.

Lifeboy. Another song I’ve been chasing for the last 30 years. Perfect placement, perfectly played. Just exquisite.

2001 and SANTOS brought the party home with a smash.

Fuego encore was perfect. Statement Fuego to end these fire benefit shows. Phish, like LA, know that inside our Fuego, we keep it rolling.

So grateful, one of the best nights of my life!
