If tonight's show is any indication of what's to come over the course of this summer's run, we're in for a real treat.

First off: they were definitely shaking the rust off during this performance. While far from being in the upper echelon of Phish shows, this was a solid show through and through, flaws and all. A very nice Possum>Runaway Jim opener set the tone for a high energy first set, which was the better of the two sets this performance. First jam was on Stash, pretty contained and in-the-box. Some nice porno-funk going on with Wolfman's Brother, nice to see some hints of summer '97 type funkified grooves going on.

CDT was standard and nothing to write home about, but still played with high energy and lots of fun. My area of the crowd was dancing up a storm. The Mike's>Silent in the MOrning>Weekapaug closer to set I was sweet and more funk stuff happening. Mike's Clav solo onWeekapaug was jaw-dropping, albeit short. But who cares, it rocked. More clav!

Set II: Golden Age was golden indeed, and I didn't want the jam to end! They went into funk territory first, then started some truly blissfull jamming before going into outer space and summoning demons from another world. Why Trey pulled out early and led them into Twist is beyond me, because they ended the jam right when things were getting mindblowing. Oh well. Twist was standard, Backwards and Ocelot were played well with short jams but nothing extended, a real letdown, especially when they've played both songs so well in 2012. I'll skip over the rest and get right to Antelope, which was easily the best of the night. I was feeling pretty let down by the 2nd set till they pulled this one out of the hat and tore it to pieces!!

If you listen to nothing else from this show, listen to Antelope, period. End of story.

A nice encore in Harry Hood, played with lots of emotion and some nice but short jams. Nothing top-tier but played excellently and overall a great indicator of more killer shows this summer.

Peace.
