spreaditround SET 1: The Curtain: Cannot go wrong with this as the opener >

Runaway Jim: Nicely jammed, sounds great!

Bouncing Around the Room: Perfect placement.

It's Ice: Jam has an extra creepiness to it, cool effects and something dynamically seems a bit different about this one. Would relisten.

Talk: Standard, love the placement.

Split Open and Melt: Very steady jam. 7 minutes of solid Phish. Pretty solid peak to this one too, a bit sloppy in parts though. Would relisten.

Sparkle: Crowd and band don’t seem into this one like they usually are >

Free: Standard >

You Enjoy Myself: They shred the hell out of this jam, hot YEM. Airhorn goes off in crowd as the vocal jam starts like in Divided Sky the previous night. Hang on to your hat with this vocal jam, I imagine some folks had a tough time with that one. Awesome way to close out the set! Would revisit this YEM!

First set summary: Killer first set! Has everything I would want and more. Tons of replay value and jamming. Great Phish.

SET 2: Also Sprach Zarathustra: The excellent energy does not get hampered with the setbreak, it just keeps rolling on as 2001 hits hard coming out of the gates. >

Down with Disease: Most of this jam is Trey on the mini kit, kind of boring to be honest >

Taste: Really good stuff here. Good follow up to the sort of meh DwD.

The Mango Song: I will take this tune anywhere and anytime pretty much. This one has great synergy between Page and Trey.

Lawn Boy: Page blows the lyrics, funny stuff.

Scent of a Mule: I am not a fan of this tune but this one is quite entertaining and has plenty of replay value. Pretty crazy version!

Mike's Song: Trey sounds AMAZING in this first jam, would encourage anyone to check this out (3:46, 3:57, 4:06, 4:15, 4:32) – just LISTEN to that guitar. Awesome. The second jam is filled with effects and an evil, nasty edge – just the way we like them. ->

Swept Away > Steep > - Likely appreciated by many as that was an intense 21 minutes of Mule and Mike’s. I am sure that melted many a face and this breather allowed folks to try and get their stuff together.

Weekapaug Groove: Freakapaug! Absolutely smoked! Machine gun Trey baby!

ENCORE: All Along the Watchtower: This is one where you kind of had to be there. Listened many times, watched the video – it just doesn’t quite translate. Trey does smoke in spots though.
