Review by DollarBill
These two Portsmouth shows are great. After three months off and with lots of new songs, a well practiced Phish sounds better than ever!Horse>Silent is too fast, but fun to hear finally. A second Maze and Rift are better tonight. Weigh is great! Love this song. Horn is good, Mike sounds great tonight. A few bad notes here and there. New Fishman material too, theme and Neil Diamond are as funny as ever.
Lots of secret language to learn. Highly recommended shows!

Decent audience source for set one, but it suffers from multiple cassette generations and the pitch runs a hair sharp. Set two’s source, though, is a crispy dSBD.Trey slips in the Star Trek theme before launching into a rippin’ Brother. They follow that with the debut of My Mind. Foam features Trey dropping an infectious little solo. Afterwards he checks in with the crowd saying, “do you guys remember the language? Just checking!” lol. During Jim’s breakdown Trey tests the audience with a Simpsons signal, and the version absolutely scorches. They cool it down with the debut of Horse > Silent. I love the original placement of Matilda in between. Trey introduces it simply as Silent in the Morning, calling it “a debut of sorts” lol. He also jokes, “I hope you don’t mind that we’re playing so much new stuff,” before kicking into another Maze. No audience clap-along on the intro this time. Mango is solid but sadly the ending is cut, and the tape jumps into Landlady. Rift makes another appearance. The Antelope intro has Trey testing the crowd with both an All Fall Down and a Random Note signal, and the jam that follows just slays. The Marco section is filled with more signals, though the audience only seems to catch Me and My Arrow and the Simpsons one.
Set two opens with Trey explaining the name of the bluegrass tune from the first set and how they stumbled on it. A fun MSO kicks things off, rolling right into a delicious Tweezer that picks up where the monster NYE version left off. The debut of Weigh gets no fanfare, and instead they barrel straight into a rippin’ Chalk Dust. Mike’s Song is strong, and Weekapaug, though short, is pure ear candy. They slam into Henrietta’s new theme, Cold as Ice, and Fish gets inspired with his Ba Ba’s during the debut of Cracklin’ Rosie lol. Afterwards Trey mentions how they switched Henrietta’s theme to one he really digs. Tweezer Reprise caps a rock-solid second set. Before Sweet Adeline, Trey jokes about Page wearing the finest shoes in the room. They wrap up the two-night stand at the Music Hall with Golgi, punctuated by one last Simpsons signal.
