The__Van Let's go, let's go' let's go downtown!

Looove this opener! Has any said how much it sounds like Free? Moma is another great version here. Hot, funky, and loud in both jam segments. Damn this song had a good year. Frankenstein eats it up as usual. This Halley's is now one of my favorite versions. It starts off rocking but quickly recedes into a mellow groove that eventually fully recedes into a peaceful space. I really dug this one. Fee keeps the mellow groove going and goes right into a set closing Stash. Bit of a short but totally sweet set there.

BOAF opens the 2nd set with typical '00 type 1 action. No complaints. Then we have our first Tweezer in 16 shows and the first of fall tour. I can't describe this version in any other way than "cool". It's very cool. It also ends in classic fashion with the die out ending. Just like the old days. I'm sure by now they knew the hiatus was happening so I wonder if this was an intentional way to bookend Tweezer in 1.0. NICU and SOAMule work fine as the mid portion of the set. FEFY is a *chef's kiss* cool down and the first real cool down of the show. Piper is absolutely FURIOUS before the fully entering the jam segment. Then Fish's beat is booking it incredibly fast as the rest of the band spaces out a bit. Eventually they work their way to a pulsing melodic groove. After all that I'm in full chomper mode. Give me that Zero closer. Page's favorite song gets the encore spot along with Tweeprise.

Great show! I didn't detect a hint of the bored playing I've hear previously. Just straight GOOD Phish.
