Landy Glad to finally get this run started and return to MSG - BUT that was quite possibly the worst Phish show I’ve been to, sounded like they haven’t been practicing or playing together as much even compared to last tour. Carini opener dusting off some rust and jammed out but really with no good peaks and valleys or movement. Possum hit hard and got the crowd going, Mike sounded great. Moma had a good jam but don’t know about Leaves in this spot without Trey nailing his composed sections. Strange Design was cool to see. Stash was the highlight of the set for me and Blaze On lacked the edge or jamming I had hoped for on 4/20.

Sigma Oasis started out sounding great but ended with Trey phoning it in and not even playing his riff the second half. Down With Disease was ok but really lacked execution from Trey in the composed sections and ended very sloppily, though I think it was the best jam vehicle other than Reba in the set. The Howling into Twist transition was awkward and forced. Mountains in the Mist sounded beautiful and well played but sucked energy out of the crowd. Left during Drift While You’re sleeping to conserve energy for the remaining nights, thought it was a weird choice to close an underwhelming two sets.
