YEM contained Fuego teases in the jam after the vocal jam. During It's Ice, an ice cream man walked around the stage with a cowbell. This show featured the Phish debuts of Cream (Prince and the New Power Generation) and Sincere. The second setbreak featured songs focused on "ice," "cream," and "ice cream." The ice cream man returned during Harry Hood while dancing milk cartons appeared on stage with the cartons eventually being discarded. The dancers ended up exiting through a giant "it's ice cream" freezer. During 2001, ice cream men brought out giant ice cream props from the freezer, Trey took over on drums, and Fish descended into the freezer. A fake Fish then rose with a giant popsicle (a bomb pop). During Tweezer, dancers from past New Year's Eve gags exited the freezer and at times performed the Meatstick dance. Trey teased Meatstick in Tweezer. The encore featured the band in ice cream man outfits. Spock's Brain was performed for the first time since July 14, 2019 (238 shows). A giant milk carton with a "Missing: Spock's Brain" notice reappeared (from earlier in the evening) above the band for Spock's Brain and Tweezer Reprise.

Review by DownWithSteam

DownWithSteam Couch toured after doing the first 3. I was 100% prepared to miss the best show ever.

Set one had a little bit for everyone despite the jams not going too deep. It was certainly heavier on the ballads toward the end. Still, it was a hearty affair that got the juices flowing and got us primed for the rest to come.

Set two we begin to take off - Sand and Fuego were top notch. YEM was a nice 2nd set treat to get early and then It's ice bled into a fantastic cover of Princes Cream, which they absolutely nailed. Again, nothing immediate showstopping to this point but very solid phish, and no ballads in this set.

Set three begins the full "gag" and takes the cake for the best of the night. 2001 was a great song to ring in the new year, the freezer gag and all the peformers were a great touch and the whole thing truly felt like a NYE party, as it should. Fish going on the rocket was hilarious.

Tweezer was a lock once the freezer gag was unveiled, and it was a version that did the gag justice. it bled into a wild piper that really had me reflecting on how good of a set it was turning out to be, and how much i was having just couch touring it.

Okay so Spock's Brain fuckin rules and when I heard that coming with the milk carton i officially was pissed AF that I couldnt make it.

Tweeprise was as fitting a song to cap off 2025 for Phish as any. It was a solid year to put in the books.

Set One: B-
Set Two: B+
Set Three: A

Score: 4.45
