Best show of the tour. Best Phish show I’ve ever been to. This show was an absolute face-melter.

SYSF got me right into the groove out of the gate.

My buddy wore some short shorts with Funky Bitch inscribed on the butt, so just playing this song made my night.

I’m not a Roggae fan, but this was a good version.

Kill Devil Falls was through the roof in the Nutter.

I love how Trey is adding those vocal ooooh oooh oooohs to Steam. I hope they keep that. Nothing fancy here, but so tight. I’ve been listening to this version multiple times a day since the show.

My Friend My Friend is the real dark horse of the show. This version is straightforward and to the point, but it’s virtually mistake-free. I love this tune, and I’ve heard almost every version. Tight ones like this are very scarce. They almost always fumble it at some point, but this version is money, if you can live without an extended type 2 cut.

I walked into this show not a fan of Walls of The Cave, and I left a fan. Trey’s guitar in the second half might have been my favorite part of the show. I lost track of my face toward the end.

All of that said, this first set was the peak of the tour for me. Most people key in on the second sets, but don’t sleep on this first set. It’s as good as Phish gets, ever.

As for the second set, I mean, Ruby Waves, come on! Not a huge fan of this song, but this is definitely the best version I’ve heard. I dug it.

Lifeboy was a treat, happy to get that one.

Backwards Down The Number Line is always a happy time.

Walrus sounded better in the venue than it does on Live Phish. It was pretty wild.

Newfound appreciation for Egg In A Hole. More please.

Possum was a pedestrian finish to the best show I’ve seen in my life.

Everyone has their show. This is mine. Usually, I’ll re-listen to a show once after seeing it live. I’ve listened this show (especially the first set) at least 5 times, and I’m ready for more. This just might have been the show of my life.
