This is the only time I have seen Wolfman’s open a show, and this version dazzles! Very quickly the band locks into a tantalizing groove. This Wolfman’s gets down to business and stays there. A great version of Tube here as well. The other Tubes I have seen this summer were fun but kept short. This is a superb extended romp. Ocelot peaks wonderfully, and the mid first set Fluffhead is wonderful.

A classic Mike’s Groove opens the second set, exactly what the doctor ordered. A Groove is welcome in any set. A Wave of Hope is the highlight of the show. This jam is phenomenal. This may very well be my favorite jam of the run, although there are at least three jams from Friday that rival it. A very deep dive within 19 minutes. A Wave of Hope has become a three headed jam monster. I feel lucky to have been in attendance for both this enormous version and the one at Hartford. This YEM is so much fun. A celebration of the entire weekend on the beach.

This run blows the 2021 AC run out of the water. 2021’s new style of jamming astounded me last summer and fall. But 2022 is here, and so is another evolution of Phish’s jamming. These guys are only getting better every year. A lot of the jams this summer have been dark and spooky. I will never forget the ambient, eerie, and scary jams of this summer. This was my final and 9th show of the summer. To those of you going to Toronto, Alpine, and Dicks, may 20 minute jams be in your future!
