Sometimes Phish plays a bad show, and that's okay.

2/5, which is generous but some cool moments in Fuego and Mercury save it from being a 1 star show (irredeemable). I only feel bad for the new Mike song, which was a fine debut but sufferred from poor placement after a completely mundane, predictable, and stale Set 1 -- particularly after a back to back pairing of Breath and Burning and a pedestrian version of Sigma Oasis. By the time the band tried to wake up the sleepy crowd with Chalkdust, the set was already over.

It's always a pleasure to catch Waves, but this version was especially plain. Fuego and Mercury had some moments but it took a combined 50 minutes of show time to prove it. A standard issue Boogie on, Backwards, and Zero to close Set 2 was not enough to save this show from its fate. Dog Faced Boy proved to be a nice little bustout treat, but by this point the oxygen was long depleted and the show cold and blue. It's okay. We try again tomorrow.
