Review by Divided_Stash

Divided_Stash Punch You In The Eye: fantastic opener choice. Fish has a little trouble early but otherwise pretty solid

Runaway Jim: pretty average

Ocelot: weird choice as they had just played this at the show before, but great soloing from Trey here

Reba: some minor hiccups in the compositions but the jam is gorgeous as always

I Didn’t Know: John Sullen Melancholy folks

The Curtain: how dare they. Curtain With is my favorite Phish song and they rob me of it. Shame, but to be fair the jam is highly similar to Reba so I understand holding off

Peaches En Regalia: good substitute for with, I love this cover

Mound: standard

Sample In A Jar: standard goods

The Sloth: nice treat. After experiencing the gamehendge 2023 version in person I always picture the Sloth walking sloooowly across the stage. Hilarious

Camel Walk: mixing in some funk. Love it

Possum: quick but powerful version

Quinn The Eskimo: another all time cover to end the first set

Chalk Dust Torture: starts the second set with the usual fiery Trey solo, but instead of ending the song they take it out into a cool mellow type 2 jam with Fish keeping a Frankie Says like groove in the background

Frankie Says: speak of the devil. I really enjoy this song as a mid second set cooldown. 70 show gap. Mike action and the start of an exploratory jam but before too much can happen Trey finds

Undermind: the last performance before the historic Dicks version. More Mike greatness and similar to Frankie gets out there at the end but after teasing it for a while in comes

Sand: type 1 rendition that goes into Walk Away right from the coda ending

Walk Away: awesome Trey in this mid set rager

Limb By Limb: as the jam starts Trey lets out some beautiful whale calls and we’re type 2 which is extremely rare for this song. Trey quickens the tempo after a while and the jam morphs into a more upbeat groove that grows to a spectacular peak and dips back into the typical Limb By Limb ending. Really intelligent and creative stuff here

Julius: another great Trey solo

2001: after a spacey outro in Julius, Fish starts the dance party. Pretty short with not much to talk about, but always welcome

You Enjoy Myself: played flawlessly and I am still bass+drums biggest fan

Shine A Light: nice cover to close out the show

Solid indoor night from one of the most important tours of Phish’s career. The jamming in CDT and Limb By Limb is really great and there’s some fun treats in the first set. This is a 6/10 show. Highlights are Reba, Chalk Dust, Frankie Says, Undermind, Limb By Limb, and YEM
