Martian Monster: Trey “If you are a PHD this one is for you” What’s that all about? This transitions rather nicely into >
The Moma Dance: Standard.
Halley's Comet: Broadway Trey. >
46 Days: Decent little jam here.
Back on the Train: Broadway Trey. Nice little jam. Re-entry was slightly askew.
555: Standard.
You Enjoy Myself: Might want to practice this before the tour starts? Nirvana section is super lol. Everything leading up to the first note is played with as little confidence from Trey as I have ever heard. Once he gets to the first note things seem to improve. Hardly a yell leading into Boy. Trey almost misses the God – audience sings it for him he comes in late. Very mellow jam for a good bit. Things finally heat up and he cooks for a minute or two. >
Say It To Me S.A.N.T.O.S. – Standard face melter.
SET 2: Also Sprach Zarathustra: Lots of fun here, awesome way to open the set. >
Down with Disease: Not exactly how to describe it, but during the composed section Trey is playing like half notes or something? Not sure of the technical term but it sounds strange to me. Then going into the jam he is a pretty sloppy. The jam truly smokes though, Trey sounds great! Nice transition into… >
Twist: Stop with the samples. Can’t Turn You Loose tease at 5:45. If you are in to upbeat, short versions of Twist then this one is for you. Is that Can’t Turn You Loose that Trey is messing with again at 7:30 or is that FYF? >
Maze: Trey either re-worked his part of the composed section or semi-forgot how to this song is supposed to be played/sang. Trey from 6:08 to 6:27 – what is this – I can’t place it? Trey does I nice job of building that Maze tension – but his first and second go at the release are brutal. Brutal.
Lonely Trip: Page is great on the baby grand.
Oblivion: Good stuff here. Backing vocals in the beginning need some work with timing it with Trey. Jam starts off a little heavy with the whale call. That ends shortly and transitions rather nicely into that 99-00 reverse reverb/backwards effect type thing – very cool. From here it is heavy on trippy effects and then back into the vocals after a few minutes. This has potential for sure, I like it!
Chalk Dust Torture: Extreme Broadway Trey complete with the delayed lyric delivery and singing in a register that sounds hilarious. C’mon man. Trey crushes that solo and then the re-entry back into the lyrics in the late 4’s is very sloppy. Timing is all off. The launch into the jam he struggles with too, then finds it and smokes it. Trey finds a really cool theme in the late 7’s. Unfortunately, he decides to wash it heavily in effects. Too bad, that had potential. Briefly sounds like Tweezer Reprise around 9:25. They neatly find themselves back in the re-entry – pulled that off exceptionally well. Trey, brother, what are you doing with your singing at the end? My goodness.
ENCORE: Meatstick: Standard. >
Makisupa Policeman: Trey’s effects work perfectly in this jam, sounds great!
Fuck Your Face: Fun.
Icculus: Funny.
Character Zero: Standard.
Summary: Current rating on Phish.net is 4.303/5 (76 ratings) – lol. I would score this as a 3.5 out of 5. There aren’t many takeaways here outside of the DWD, snippets of CDT, and Oblivion. Encore was fun – the ol’ throw the kitchen sink at ‘em.
Replay Value: Down with Disease
