And here we are again, our 9th Mexico run and our 9th set of low rated shows. The show rating mafia wins again! Disregard all ratings for this run (and the others as well). Just listen and enjoy. Not show bias, actually never been to Phish in Mexico.

The first night was definitely a great show, those that don't like breath and burning, sigma oasis (farmhouse, etc, etc) .... might be a good time to find a new band. I was dead set on the dead in the 90s and luckily found phish. It all worked. don't be afraid to walk away.

N2, also a solid show. Second set is great, WGTYM jam is a slam dunk for me.

And of course, this show. Like the other two nights, it's a great first set with solid songs and playing. Followed by what we all love- a jammed out second set. This is great Phish no doubt about

Fun start. Gin really start to get things moving with a nice Most Events which honestly is becoming one of my favorite "new" tunes. Carini was amazing, was sooo close to getting insanely down right dirty and they moved into light. At the time I was bummed they didn't stretch out Carini more but the Light was super solid. I am always 100% game for a Frankie Says I love that tune. This one didn't disappoint. Miami Frankie in '03 was insane in person, so I was pleased to see it taken for a ride. Life Saving Gun has been delivering and this was no exception. First Tube is easily one of my favorite set closers and they gave this one a little extra grease. My tinnitus even this morning is a testament to the version, true Trey rock god exposition.

Encore debut of Simeon was fun. I'm down for whatever they play but getting a new tune to consume is always great in my opinion. ALBTD always brings the feels in this position and if felt like they really played it for the crowd and meant it. Tonight is going to be bittersweet as we head back to our normal lives, but I'll never trade anything for time in the sun with my favorite band.

Onward and upward or whatever keeps you going.

Couch toured this one from cold and snowy Michigan, wishing I was on a warm beach down in Mexico. Thank goodness for these live streams! I’ve been catching one night of Phish in Mexico at home for years and it’s always a nice little mid-winter treat.

A bit surprised at the ratings as I thought there was great playing all around. I particularly enjoyed Wolfman’s, Tube, Gin from the first set and honestly all of the second set. Light after Carini was a nice pairing. LSG jammed hard. Wowza! I felt thoroughly rinsed by percussion. Encore was on the tamer side but I have a huge soft spot for A Life Beyond The Dream as anyone who has read my comments knows, so I went to bed happy. Hope everyone there is having a great time!

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

Show starts with a standard Blaze On, then some fluff with Bouncing and Evolve, get an above average Wolfmans, a nice Tube, fantastic Water in the Sky and then things start to take off when we hit the Gin. And then came the second set. This one was a face melter. Extremely psychedelic and the flow of this set is just perfect, notably the segue from Light to Frankie Says which was just ridiculous. Kinda dumb they followed up that set with a snoozer encore, but hey, can’t win em all can you?
