It was an amazing show. Instead of playing songs that happened to include jams, it felt like they were playing one continuous thematic jam, with songs as pit stops along the way—always returning to the central musical thread. And I don’t just mean the “Reprise,” which was great. I’m talking about all the type 2 jamming. It was incredibly coherent and clear, constantly developing new motifs while staying grounded in a unifying theme.

This was Phish at an exceptional level—locked in at the end of a long tour. I felt lucky to be there. It brought me back to the feeling of the Island Tour or the second half of summer 2015, culminating in Night 2 of Magnaball.
