This rating is skewed and just shows how petty and childish the community can be. You can be mad that you can’t afford to go or don’t get to see Phish on a beach, but how can you not say this is some of the best they’ve ever played??? I guess the setlist could get some hate if you’re that jaded, although the first set was a 1.0 dream. This is without a doubt a 4.5+/5 show. It’s nearly flawless from start to finish. That Ruby Waves was simply greatness and another magnum opus of the bands relentless drive to push the boundaries of what is capable with music. This show encompasses every single era of phish. You have early 90s 1.0, late 90s 1.0, dark gritty 2.0 jams, and the exploration of 3.0/4.0. 37 shows deep and somehow they still find a way to put my jaw on floor.

Phish returned to the stage in Mexico after a show which people gave a sub 3 rating to. (I gave that show 3.75 and i will stand by a decent rating there) So it's safe to say some people were paying close attention tonight

After this show - a show which absolutely fucked - I am glad to see the rating bias is toned down a bit.

The first set had great song selection. Gumbo is a great way to get us going. Oblivion went pretty deep after coming out of Caspian. The stash was our first major HELL YEAH moment. 15 mins of good stuff there. Not a ton else in this set to rave about, but it was fine and an improvement from the night prior.

Set two takes you where you want to go. A 4-song set usually means the songs stretched their legs well , and that was definitely the case for WoH and Ruby Waves. 2 great jam vehicles here. Perhaps none with a stronger track record than Ruby Waves as of the past few years - and it highlighted the show again - as it got real weird and stayed strong for 20+ mins That kind of mind melting jam is the stuff that turns an average show into a burner. That turns a novice phish phan into a full on wook.

Lonely trip isn't my thing and i feel like that slot deserved better. But alas, in came a WGTYM to get us up and dancing hard again. This song is special and I know many of you agree. A solid version took us home and capped off a set that deserves to be relistened to.

Another debut came in the encore, and it was a soothing tune. Page had some cool vocals. All in all I can say I didnt hate "dancing in midair". But I certainly liked antelope more. It didn't quite come crashing down like the version at MSG, but that place is also pretty damn special.

Set One: B-
Set Two: A-
