The goal is to keep rolling. Not to let the show before determine your experience the show after. Have a good time with your friends and enjoy the show. That's what it's really all about. While the Tahoe Tweezer has been buzzing throughout the community, and rightly so, the show tonight is its own beast.
Let the good times role, a wise man once said. I think that's appropriate for this time period in Phish.
Set 1
Free, Meat > Oh Kee Pah Ceremony > Bag > Vultures, Roggae, Sand, Circus, Babylon Baby, Reba, Halfway to the Moon, Golgi
The third time they have opened with the song, Free gets things started off hot. Just like they left us.
First Meat of the tour. Gordon throwing some "meat"balls. Wow. They should play the breakdowns like this more often. Very loose.
Oh Kee Pa Ha! Ok, Bag or Suzy? Bag or Suzy? BAGGGGG!!
Bag's jam blowing up the arena, Standard rocker.
Phish having fun, extending that Bag ending. Then nicely in to Vultues.
This Vultures is pretty darn nasty. In fact, this set is Ghostly nasty.
I'm sorry but that kind of climax out of roaggae was not the norm back in the day. Well done.
My buddy to my right here on the couch tour has my back. I called this Sand first set! Holy smokes. This Sand jam is nuts. There's a climatic dssonance to this one. Listen to this one again.
Not too much slowing down in this set. But this Circus is a welcome breather.
3rd time played by Phish this Babylon Baby, which is a Gordo original. Fun little jam.
Now this set just isn't funny anymore. Reba? Really? And more woos, which I just hope doesn't become the new glow stick.
The lull leading in to the Reba jam is perhaps one of my favorite moments in all of music. Gives me goosebumps.
Halfway is a fun tune but to end a set. Ok. Well, when you jam it out that way, you can do what ever you want.
Ending a set proper - "I Saw you with a ticket stub in your hand"
Set 2
PYITE, DWD > Caspian, Farmhouse, Sevem Below, Theme, Hood, Stealing Time, Squirming Coil
E: Walls of the Cave
Fun things happen when PYITE opens a set, any set.
And the Woos keep popping up. I guess I'm ok with it? The band sure digs it, How can you not love a fan base responding to you in live form?
Caspian I'm sure brings some collective gasps. But Trey can take this puppy places if he really wants
to.
The note from Trey!! keeps on ringng out.
Hard to see how this one fits in to this set - in the farmhouse things will "not be alright".
Fun Farmhouse groove I guess.
Seven Below gets the fan juices flowing. The start stop jamming with more Woos a al Tahoe came out. That would make about 3 or 4 diffrent woo moments tonight?
[Editor Note: This is where Luke lost most of his vision as 2 AM plus booze usually puts me on my back these days]
