drobert420 After a few days to reflect on this show, I have to say it was a smoker start to finish. It really had everything you'd want in a Phish show. Impressive energy from both the band and crowd, rare songs (Fee, Mound, etc), solid covers, and NO SLOW DOWNS (outside of Lawn Boy).

The second set was especially impressive as the band kept the energy level up the entire set and I truly believe the crowd made this happen. The crowd was especially engaged and the typical second set letdown never occured. No Waste's, Wadings, Show of Life's, etc. This second set is a true rocker. Light was the lowlight of the entire show and really was phenominal (for Light). Look to this Crosseyed and Painless for dancing around your living room or general fist pumping. Just awesome. No huge jam, just condensed energy. Hot stuff right here.

Can't say enough. People keep fluffing Pine Knob and Blossom and those shows were awesome in their own right, but this was my kind of show. I've seen a bunch of long DWD's, Bowie's, wild Hood's, etc. This was exactly the kind of show I was looking for and they delivered, as usual.

Definitely worth a listen for those not there.
