Review by DownWithSteam

DownWithSteam Another solid show down in Mexico. First set had a nice tube, and also a cool version of gin. All in all decent songs picked.

Set two goes deep once again. Carini was a marathon of music, while there has been some sick versions over the years, this jam had a unique taste. It got picked up by Light which I thought was a good choice. It blended into Frankie Says which was a welcome sight. Ide have preferred if that got stretched.

Jam of the night though goes to Life Saving Gun. Its a raucous affair of balls to the walls action. I think most Phish fans have got to have grown to like that song.

Encore here gives us 2 slower tunes to send us off. Not how ide do it. I actually a fan that loved LBTD when it first appeared but the over-playment has made it lose a bit of luster for me. Just my 2 cents. Simeon isn't terrible but belongs in like a first set.

All in all I think anyone who was worried about Phish starting to "stink" is being laughed at.

Set One: C+
Set Two: A-

Rating: 3.9
