Review by TimberCarini

TimberCarini This show was WAYYYYYY oversold. You could barely move or even breathe, let alone dance. The band was wicked tight...probably the tightest, most on-point I have ever seen TAB. That is a fact. Then why the 3 star rating you ask? The major problem with TAB setlists in the past couple years is the amount of Phish "try-out" material that Trey throws in both sets... and this show was a victim. It would be understandable if he did this in first sets at each TAB show, with one or two songs... but doing this in both sets creates an uneven, if not energy-killing, vibe. This is your "high energy" output Trey, own that stage! Play something with some teeth, take some risks, and be willing to fall flat... but don't purposely play slow ballads in a club setting with 10 musicians on stage. Play some acoustic shows if you want to go that route. Use those 10 (awesome!) musicians to create and build amazing jams out of your funky ass rock songs.
