Review by Sopath

Sopath Here's the thing: I actually think this show had more individually great moments than N1 but as a whole it was weaker than N1.

Set 1 was pretty strong in my opinion. I liked Plasma as an opener and the Sigma Oasis was gorgeous. Really enjoyed Evolve and the Mull jam. Stash was kinda disappointing from me. It's one of the best songs for Phish to explore darker jams so when they make it positive I always feel like we're missing out on something. I'm not a big Bowie guy but it was good.

Set 2 was a little lack luster for me. Wave of Hope was nice but the jam felt like it dragged. Fuego and its jam was really strong, which made Wave of Hope feel like it had more purpose for me. I for one really enjoyed Ether Edge and would like to see more of it. Fuck the haters. Mercury had really nice jam and bled into Free really well.

Encore: Yeah I just didn't really feel it here. Never been a fan of Alumni and the Antelope was for me a little mid.

Conclusion: My complaints are nitpicks. I had an absolute blast listening to the show. The notion that this show is harming good done by the Spring tour is woefully unfair, especially in light of a really good N1. I gave the show a 3/5 because to me it's an average Phish show! And hey most Phish shows are basically average Phish shows and that's okay because it's god damn Phish. They are an amazing band and I can't wait for Alpharetta.
