Ahh yes 6/7/12, this show made me want to follow Phish everywhere. I grab a ride to Worcester with friends and go to the box office to claim a ticket from someone I know who is in Germany. This transaction doesn’t go so well at first haha, so I lose my friends in the process. They finally give me the ticket once the person I know calls them from Germany. I never made it to my actual seat this night.

I meander down to page side like 5 rows from him and buried alive starts up, love this as an opener. Jim and torn and frayed are next before I get kicked out of the section and I’m on the move again. Really solid start to the show. They are just ripping it on stage once I hit my new section around rift, everything is so well played. The highlight of the set comes with Possum, which is an awesome and strange version of the song. Never heard one like this again. Rocky top sends us to set break happy.

During intermission I find a friend and now am in the 100s looking directly at the stage. This second set is awesome and was a delight to witness. Carini has a beautiful jam (don't be tricked by its length) that melts into taste. Taste is also great, still might be the best I’ve seen. Ghost starts up and it is very good and funky, surprised it never got jam charted. Boogie on is next and this is an absolute barn burner. Amazing playing here by everyone. One of the best ever IMO. If I could is a cool down and is absolutely beautiful. Quinn> hood>cavern>buried alive reprise… hell yeah that’s how you end a set. Loving cup is standard but puts a stamp on the show.

This is still on of the best tour openers since the band got back together and is still one of my favorite shows ever attended.

Set 1 highlights Possum, Rocky Top
Set 2 highlights Carini-> Taste> Ghost> Boogie on Reggae Woman> If I Could. (Whole segment is highly recommended.

I’d rate this a 4.5/5 what a show.
