spreaditround SET 1: Chalk Dust Torture: Standard.

Funky Bitch: Standard.

Guyute: Standard.

Fee: Standard. >

Split Open and Melt: Solid enough.

The Mango Song: Standard.

The Sloth: Standard.

Maze: Page CRUSHES his solo. So much tension built up. So much! Trey actually outdoes Page and CRUSHES his solo. Absolutely destroys it. Very impressive Maze!!! Would highly recommend.

Loving Cup: The crowd is very, very pumped for this one! The structure seems different than what I am used to and this one also seems extended versus a typical version. Trey sounds amazing. That summer 96 tone is great! There is not the raging climax I have come to expect. More of a consistent jam and then into the final lyrics. Really cool.

SET 2: AC/DC Bag: What a rager! It is so fast and furious that it feels as if it could go over a cliff at any moment, but they manage to keep the train on tracks and in doing so melted many a face. Would recommend! >

Reba: Solid enough but the ending is all jacked up.

Scent of a Mule: Standard.

Sample in a Jar: Standard. >

David Bowie: Breakneck speed.

Sweet Adeline: Standard.

Slave to the Traffic Light: Really good Slave.

ENCORE: Theme from Star Trek – No comment.

Rocky Top: Standard.

Summary: Pretty average show. Not too much here to really sink your teeth into. I think the Phish.net rating of 3.772/5 (79 ratings) is a little strong. I would hit it at 3.65/5.

Replay Value: Maze, Loving Cup, AC/DC Bag
