My estimation for Twenty Years Later rose big time.

That's the sign of a great set- does a ballad feel like it fits? Or does it feel like a throw-in?
If I Could from Worcester and Billy Breathes from Atlantic City fit the criteria also. Two songs I've always appreciated, but suddenly loved again after one great placement.

My only issue with it? It isn't Roggae. I'm not sure if Phish realizes that people are all about that song now. It seems like they try and slip it in like medicine, hoping we don't reject it. Just feed us Roggae like baby birds, Phish. Halfway To The Moon would have been bang-up as well.

That Piper is fantastic though, holy crap. They've really figured out how to play sub-10 minute Pipers this year. It always seemed like an option, with even some of the greatest shows of the 90s employing short Pipers that were all build. Now it's like the build is secondary to that explosion off the cliff at the end. And JEEZ LOUISE am I loving the improv from this version. Around 5 minutes in is some of the most unique music I've ever heard Phish play.
