Review by MrPalmers1000DollarQ

MrPalmers1000DollarQ The SPAC '04 shows carry with them the legend of Phish's final strokes of utter greatness before the breakup. Though I haven't personally run through the final months of 2.0 (other than Live in Brooklyn and a Live Bait selection or two), the general consensus seems to be that this is where the buck stopped. Perhaps this retrospective lens colors my vision of these shows, and perhaps it doesn't. Regardless, 6/19/04 has some undeniably amazing Phish. Aside from a somewhat forgettable Reba and an unfortunate lyrical lapse in Cavern (which is admittedly handled in a fine manner), this show is all highlights. Every song from Wolfman's through LxL is a version worth keeping in rotation. This is ESPECIALLY true for the legendary Piper. I am completely bought in on this being the GOAT Piper, and honestly it ranks pretty highly in my all-time jams ranking upon first couple of listens. Honorable mentions go out to Walls of the Cave and Limb By Limb jams, each of which brings some unique jamming elements not normally present in these typically Type I tunes.
