Review by DownWithSteam

DownWithSteam Phish capped off the Mexico Run with an unforgettable show. Rating bias is still present, which is a shame.

The first set starts with a focused version of Mikes. Halleys and Paug were pretty standard. MFMF is the first mega jam on the night (more would come) - as Phish reached deep to give us a spectacular 25 min version. Must hear stuff. Rest of the first set goes by smoothly. Drift as a first set closer does not bother me at all.

2nd set , oh baby. How about one of the longest Phish jams ever? The longest song the ocean ever sang. a 40 min powerhouse that makes me wish I was on a beach in Cancun and financially stable. This even topped the Ruby Waves from earlier in the run, although bot are their own special type of beast.

We weren't done. Sea of Stars was delicate and kept us occupied for 19 more minutes. Another mind melting, thought provoking type jam. Phish kept their momentum going.... what a set I was starting to tell myself.

Meatstick comes in, and who could complain about that? Its one of the most fun songs ever. It got a good, non abberviated version of 9 mins. No meatstick should be under 7.Golden age also rocked hard. At this point I knew this was one hell of a set of phish

Double encore of fan favorites. Hood = Bliss.

Hell of a show, I am already re-listening. If you didnt give it 5 stars, we get it, you wish you were in Mexico. If this show happened in MSG it would rank amongst their best there. Signed someone who has seen more MSG shows than anywhere else by far.

Set One: B+
Set Two: A+ 4.5
