IndolentFool What a show. Barn burner from start to finish.

Set 1: Fantastic 45 min Fluff -> YPC > Gin segue to start the night. Real tight playing and jamming in both Fluff and Gin. Great debut for Hey Stranger, they made it sound like they’ve been playing it for years. A slightly rocky Tube into a brief but cool Slave. Thought that would be the end of the set but Trey was like fuck it I wanna play Blaze On and they tore it up.

Set 2: Kept the energy of the first set and brought it to the second set. Awesome Bowie and then an Everything’s Right with a great jam. YEM was laid back and had some dope Mike soloage. Vocal jam went sooo smoothly into Ruby Waves which had an awesome jam too. It was definitely a night of varied and cool jamming. BOTT > Character Zero ripped. They peaked Character Zero hard and through the webcast you could see Trey getting super into it which I feel like you always love to see as an (virtual) audience member.

Guyute was slotted nicely as a bustout into the encore and it was great to finally hear Mike sing solo in Possum. Some great banter in both songs too, could really tell the band was feeling it.

This was an awesome set. Zinger after zinger after zinger. Much better segues/instrumental performance than last night. Probably the best show I’ve witnessed with my young Phish eyes. Excited to see if they can match the energy tomorrow.

4.5/5
