Alright, this was a great Phish show, as they literally have ALL been in Summer of 2025. Last nights show was also pretty much nearly just as good as this one and it has only a 3.8, I think thats decently underrated (it should be in that 4.2 range)

This show has managed to avoid that weird under-rated bias. One thing I can think of that caused the lowerish ratings here at FH were the lack of bustouts - yes lets face it these past 2 nights were Jukebox Phish. Also Im sorry but I do think reviewers at home are harsher on the run because it was such an expensive, custy laced ticket and the shows had a early start time- and like usual a vibe the stream just cant show.

One thing I can say for certain, the crowd, the fandom, is as alive and good spirited as Ive ever seen it - during divided sky that was the most crowd interplay ive seen at a show. -- Basking in the sun in that great city with Phish is almost always a 5 star affair. But lets nitpick the music, because we can.

Free and BOTT were standard, welcome openers - you gotta play BOTT there, everyone and their mother takes the train into these shows. Cities was our first major highlight, in the greatest city in the world, it deserves an A+ version and we got one alright.

Next came that aformentioned divided sky. crowd peaking in unison, so much less chompers than I thought. Ether Edge came and made all the older phans head to pee... will they ever learn? You knew Trey was going to take us to mars when he saw you all leaving. Why do you all hate that song again? Incredible version again, and the older phans raced back to their seats and grooved to that jam I saw it firsthand.

Punch was a great choice for the opener to get all that incredible energy right back. and it was able to be channeled into an incredible duo of jams in Ghost and Wave of Hope , the meat of the show if you will - these were mind melter jams that went far and beyond, the kind of mind blowing stuff that keeps me going back. To have it all sink patiently into WTU was a great moment.

Right back to the jams! You know you gotta ride that ruby wave. Another song that will take you god knows where. In this case, it was me peaking in the beautiful weather to sounds i didnt know existed.

Numberline was powerful. it really was a theme to keep your friends close this week for me and trey echoed that. My entire section, even the older ones, loved heatin numberline.

Getting zeroed at a show is not a punishment. The crowd gave it its ALL, screaming alongside Phish. Peak stadium rock

triple set encore of high energy, dancing madness. A++ Choices.... a city of alleys and prostitutes is there a better song to play than sally? Was there a better song to capture that stadium city energy than wilson?? oh and a rocky top cherry - singalong bliss right there. Sick encore. Did not leave my seat till the end, and screamed my head off for this band. Thank you to the relief pitcher leo as well.
