fhqwhgads I feel like this is a slightly above average-great show. Buried Alive, Torn and Frayed, Nothing, and Beauty of a Broken Heart in the first set are all amongst the rarer tunes in Phish's active catalogue, at this point, and all are treated faithfully. Torn and Frayed seemed to reflect its title and subject-matter with rather rusty vocals from Trey and Page, Page usually being "Mr. Even Keel," as dubbed by Trey in The Phish Book. The second set is really, really good, though. Carini goes into a pretty, ambient jam that -> Taste. Ghost features modulated drippy funk (where by "drippy" I mean that Trey has a kind of synaesthetic sound going on with his guitar deep in the groove... you'll have to hear it for yourself, v. remarkable) > Boogie on Reggae Woman which is where the victory of the set settles, with the peaky blinder eventually resolving into a quite griddy rhythm that I would've liked to hear elaborated upon. The Harry Hood that follows later in the set is welcome, but doesn't "rage."
