Mind Scents. Coming to you directly from the Mothership. 1-2 combo punch of 20 min jams melting alien faces. WGTYM took us to deep space and beautifully segued to the goose bump-inducing slow opening of Scents. The immediate heir apparent to the Hampton Simple, Scents was an outpouring of joy, bliss / beauty peaks for days, hands in the air ecstasy. Seek out this Mind -> Scents at all costs.

Sunday Phish delivered. LSG Roggae 2001 Meat SOAM was a treat. Mike’s was also roaring hot, Ghost > CDT forced my creaky joints back into gear. And a glorious Hood to close us out.

Thank you Phish for a beautiful, celebratory weekend of shows.

9/21/25: The “21” Show:

21 songs total

opener: 1st tube + 20 years later = 21
2001
21 minute set break
21 minute mike’s groove
21 min mind + 21 min scents
21 minute encore

sat night sets were *noticeably* shorter than friday and sunday because each was deliberately 81 mins or 1:21.

this band is on an entirely different level when you don’t even realize there was a theme until after the show.

This show was the perfect end to a weekend run for me. Did I get all the songs I was hoping for? No, but lets be realistic, we never really do. In my opinion they played extremely well and the vibe in my section was absolutely immaculate. I spent the prior 2 nights hanging with friends and made a bunch of new ones on Sunday having gotten in line early alone. Ended up doing the show with them instead of braving the floor as originally planned. The first set was like one big highlight. From the First Tube opener to the Life Saving Gun (one of my favorite new songs) fucking 2001 and Melt hooo boy! I might have missed part of MEAP because I was sure Golgi was going to end the set and I bolted to piss. the Mikes Groove to open the 2nd set was just right and WGTYM and Scents both had super interesting jams that didn't stay in the bliss zone. I really can't speak enough about how much I enjoyed this show. Great music and perfect vibe. I wasn't on drugs but you best believe I was high after that show!

First things first, kudos to the user who spotted this as the "21" show - no way that was a coincidence.

Expectations for this show - or any Sunday tour closer - let alone at the Hampton - are going to be sky high. We expect alot from this band sometimes not because we are entitled brats (some are, sure) but because we know these guys are capable of some insane stuff. So, we tend to picture them being able to put out a 5-star affair on a whim.

This was a very solid Phish show - but at the end of the run feels like it will be the least memorable. The highlights to me were the Foam, Split open and melt, weekapaug WGTYM and Scents.

Set One: B
Set Two: B
