Night 3, the fabled 12-30 date along with all the hype in the world after 2 fantastic shows - Phish had to come ready to meet the expectations ready for this one.

The word for this show was "locked in" - the jams tonight nary wasted a moment - it felt like they all had a plan and they were all executed well.

No random bust out for this show - but a lot to offer. Another sandwich with chalkdust and Moma got us started. Tube, like usual was a massive dance party. (Crowd like usual was amazing and eating it up as they should!) But the easy highlight of the 1st set is the melt, which had my jaw melting to the msg floor at the end.

2nd set here the heat gets turned up, and this is where we get some HOT, really intense, focused jamming. My friend said he felt like every time the jam ended tonight, they had plenty of room to keep going and STILL keep it interesting, which I agree. Ghost thru first tube was just a straight up classic MSG dance party, you did not want to leave your seat unless your bladder was exploding or you had to catch an early train.

It was night I left the garden feeling satisfied despite the show ending well before 1130 and only a drift encore (I actually dont hate drift I just think as a standalone encore its on the weaker side of things) --- all in all this was a fucking fantastic phish show with strong jamming - our section on the chase bridge rocked as hard as ever!!!!

Set One: B
Set Two A
