Caught the stream and hunkered down with the discussion thread crew. This was a heater from head to toe. Proper greeting with First Tube (in its rightful position) which led to a series of song choices that just made sense (even if your scratching your head looking at it on paper). Set one highlights are NMINML and MFMF. As mentioned above, the fact that Trey had to do a reset acknowledging that they had three nights to go really set the tone for how much they were feeling it. This set is worth listening in its entirety as you will find yourself saying, “doesn’t this normally close a set, or a show?” Over and over again but be pleasantly surprised with how it all flows and exceeds expectations. And don’t sleep on the 2001 with spacier then normal intro and ladder climbing echo effects.

Set 2 is pure mastery. The Tweezer starts off a little weird with Trey almost tuning his guitar to dial in the sound and then grows patiently. The minor key gets dirty and the major key haunts at mountain jam throughout here and throughout the entire night. Pillow jets jettisons for darker territory early on and the slide back into Tweezer begins to cement the significance of this set. Tweezer Jets or Pillow Tweeze, whatever you want to call it, they fused the style of both jams before deftly slipping into Piper. More Tweezer nods, perfectly placed Shine a Light and a CDT they could have phoned in but instead dialed it up.

The icing is a trips encore, apparently the 100th Jibboo (great way to usher in its centennial) sandwiched in between BBFCFM and More.
While this definitely felt like the Trey show to some extent, you could very easily pinpoint multiple moments where each member made their mark. I am sure there is much more to say about this show but I suck at Phish.
