Theme From the Bottom: Really like Theme in this slot. Well played. >
No Men In No Man's Land: Good stuff, again love the placement and how this setlist is being constructed. Page’s piece is nice and funky. Very engaging jam would have loved this live – tons of energy. Trey’s trilling at the end is fun. LOL at the architecture and fan banter, very funny.
Axilla (Part II) – Did they write this setlist out – because it feels like it. Another perfect song for the first set. >
Tube: Nice! More Your Pet Cat teases in the late 3’s and early 4’s. It goes major mode directly after this. Back to the darkness where it belongs in the mid 7’s. Some effects and a ripping solo later and we can safely say this was a very fun Tube. Nicely done. >
Roggae: Trey absolutely tears this one a new one, very impressive – this was awesome!
Undermind: Impressive work from Page on the baby grand! Trey gives his part a proper ripping. Fish crushes the ending. >
Prince Caspian: For a split second this sounded like it was going to be Carini. Tons of effects and some fire from Trey. Good set closer.
SET 2: Ghost: Really good, intense playing through about the 9 minute mark which then flips to an upbeat, major mode. Spends some time there and then the rest, a very good bit is effects and pedals. Not my bag but I am sure many loved it. >
Ruby Waves: Pretty typical up through about ten and half where this takes a hard left turn. It gets dark and dissonant. You can even hear Mike! He has that fat meatball tone going. This nightmarish soundscape sounds like something out of a modern day SOAMelt. Trey teasing around with Soul Planet stuff in the early 13’s and then this effectively breaks the hold of the dark jam. The next ten minutes are a bliss jam that builds towards a big peak that sounds like so many that have come before it. I bet many people loved this jam.
...And Flew Away: This sure sounds a lot like FYF in the intro. This is sort of a two part song. I though it was over and then they kind of go into a different section I guess. Not a fan of this one.
My Friend, My Friend: Pretty, pretty freakin’ cool. Easily the longest version. Stays sinister and dark – true to its nature. Well done Phish, would highly recommend this. >
First Tube: Standard.
ENCORE:
If I Could: Broadway Trey makes an appearance – not too over the top though. Used to love this tune. Just don’t care for the new arrangement. Maybe it’s not even a new arrangement, but the lack of a big solo at the end in favor of going quietly into the night – it’s not for me.
Possum: Standard.
Summary: Thought the first set was really good. Broadway Trey was nowhere to be seen and he was playing his guitar for the most part. The effects that he did use were mostly tasteful and kept in check. Good second set for sure. They are getting in the groove here in the third show of the tour. I would rate this as a 3.9 out of 5.
