Incredible stuff.

Set 1 was hot from the get-go, a really complete Disease that didn’t let up. Love that the last few have been finished. Theme was the highlight for me though, so glad they jammed that out. The room was really loving The Howling and the Antelope had some extra hot sauce tonight, especially from Trey. That peak was intense!!

Then Set 2. I will echo another comment and say that Trey seemed to be struggling early on with where he wanted to be. For about the first 10-15 minutes of NMINML, he was more or less searching without much direction. But, when he got where he wanted melodically, it led to a really great peak and they were locked in for the rest of the show. Everything else was simply fantastic. I think Sand was my favorite. Trey, Mike, and Fish had a bit of a conversation beforehand and I wondered if Trey was saying “let’s take this one out there,” as there seemed to be a conscious effort to do so from the time it started. Lots of effect and some heavy, heavy stuff. If I Could is my favorite Phish ballad and couldn’t have been placed better - a beautiful rendition that the room really appreciated. I’m never thrilled to hear IAWITW/Page’s Space Carnival, but man if they play it like that each time I’m all for it. Wow that was cool!!

CDT encore - what else can I say? It ripped!!

Not sure how this is tracking behind 12/29 ratings wise. Felt that this show was more complete top to bottom. I’d put 12/29 at about a 4.2 and 12/30 at 4.4. Both were really fantastic, but this second set puts it on top.

But in the end who cares - just listen and you won’t be disappointed!
