What a fun night at the tennis stadium in Queens. My first show of the summer, there was much excitement.

Queens deserved a show! Its the best part of NYC lets face it.

The Moma Dance got the groove going right away. Mr and Mrs. Met made a grand grand appearance to the delight of the sun soaked crowd, and they got down.

Rift was a crowd favorite, and kept the energy high into yet again another keeper version of Sigma Oasis - and possum followed to keep everything high energy.

The Wolfmans was a standout, excellent version. You cant go wrong. Stash was standard, as was Blaze On. Monsters is just such a treat. Trey hit the nail on the head when he made that song, so sick and deep. And a walrus to cap us off getting nice and weird. Solid set.

2nd set gives us the fireworks. Carini was a splendid affair, that jam went to great depths and the transition to Tweezer was flawless.My section was ready to rock, and the version delivered for us. WGTYM also got a sick jam, capping off a three way of divine jamming.

Yeah I dont hate Life Beyond the Dream at all. but ill be honest. if thats subbed out for something else people would clamor over this show more.

Harry Hood fucking rocked. The stadium ate it up, myself included. A little extra oomph on that one.

Okay the whole damn world predicted an Ozzy tribute - Iron Man wasnt played in 666 days and lets face it - it would have been sick to do it. It didnt happen and we got a triple encore of standard fare. It was a slight disappointment but maybe it was an unrealistic ask.

Once again Phish played a very good show with alot to relisten to in the future. I loved the venue and pray it can stay in the rotation, Forest Hills is beautiful.

Cannot wait for night 2, to be around this amazing community and its people again, to hear more ethereal jamming and have our faces melted.

Sweet Leaf > Meet the Mets ???
