I don't normally write reviews, but I felt like I needed to after that incredible summer tour. What an opening sequence with Loving Cup, Maze, Martian Monster, and a really good MM at that. Strayed from the normal. Then came Divided Sky and I thought about the faces and friends that I recall, the memories from Syracuse and 4 stunning MSG shows and how much joy this band brings every year, and started to get a little teary. To me, the band couldn't play a wrong note tonight.

After that great first quarter, Prince Caspian comes out swinging and absolutely ready to jam. You can really tell the band tries to push themselves at every seam. I do not care at all if they miss some notes and lyrics as long as they keep pushing the boundaries. Cool segue into NICU, followed by a great Steam (with little stage Steam), and I'm a sucker for Drift While You're Sleeping. Trey loves this band and community and the lyrics and jamming in this song have been great.

Set 2 starts with a cool SYSF, which *sigh of relief*, goes into Tweezer. An absolutely fun and messy 30+ minutes of Guyeezer / Tweeforget, some really cool jamming too ala Grateful Dead's Space segments and early 70's psychedelia. A great movement into WTU? caps off that awesome 40 minute jam. Scents doesn't really go anywhere, except into a cool Tweezer / Everything's Right / Manteca quoted fun jam. In the same vein as DWYS, Number Line is a great celebratory song. On 8/4 I saw a big group all wearing matching 60'th birthday shirts, so hopefully they got to bring the celebration into 8/5!

Electric Tweezer Reprise to close the set, and a super patient, spacey, beautiful Hood sends us home.

Great show and great tour, and I really want to say thank you to the band for the meaningful show they put on every night and how hard they try to keep evolving. Summer Tour 2023 was really one for the ages and a tour I'm going to have to spend a lot of time digesting. Thank you Phish!!!!!
