PhishMarketStew What a night. great song selection and wonderful energy from the crowd and after the break, from the band. I took my 6 yr old son tonight, his first show, and he swears that Phish couldn't play a better show if they tried. We all know this ain't true but i've always felt that a Phish show is just a matter of perspective. So many folks swear by so many different gigs and song versions that clearly their can no longer be a right and a wrong. These dudes are a quarter of a century (!) into one of the most creative, interactive and inspirational careers ever and even on "bad" night nobody leaves a gig unsastified. Well tonight wasn't bad by any measure of the word, it was spontaneous and chock full of energy. When the band appears to be having fun and the songs are smoking it doesn't matter if they are knee deep in nostalgia or knee deep in mud there doing what THEY want to be doing just like they always have and for me personally thats why I feel in love with phish. They do what they feel, sometimes they probably feel bad and so goes the gig but mostly, even if their bored or distracted, they can still make asses shake. Along both sides of the stage the Lightning tore holes in the sky, people were soaked and the band added to the electricity of the gods. Shit was right, the boys came correct, they'll go deep with jams when they want to and when they don't they'll show how they are total masters of ALL styles of music. A more eclectic group of tunes you will not find and these guys play them all with the verve and know how of old masters. Keep it comin' lets go to tahoe....
