10/31 - MGM Grand Arena - Las Vegas, NV - Post Show Discussion

[anthrax]

i loved last night, but i'm not ready to say best halloween set ever.  the 94 and 95 shows were pretty epic.  even 96 and 09 were huge in my book because of album choice.

Listened to Set 2 today on part of my run and thought it was excellent!
I wonder who originally presented the idea.
A lot of Plinko action (three songs?), bit the compositions sounded fresh.
Gonna watch it later.

They totes should have had Abe Vigoda be one of the zombies!
'Cause he's old!

Ok...after relisten......

Set 2 is probably the best set Phish has played since their return. Period.

This Sand is pretty great also. I just played it while cooking dinner, dancing and chopping area fun mix.

For some mad reason I am now home, and not still in vegas to see what will likely be another killer show. sigh.

that Halloween set. fantastic. my brain is still melted. first ever Halloween themed Halloween show. i don't know how they ever top this one. but leave it to Phish to find a way...

WE ATTACK!

That Halloween show was fucking insane.  After what I went through during that show, I'm afraid to listen to that second set.  Going to be a minute before I can wrap my head around it.  It was unreal.  If I had skipped that show I would have never forgiven myself.  I wouldn't say I had fun, but I did survive.  That show was more of a beatdown/bludgeoning.  I was getting pummeled by Trey left and right.

[WhatstheUse?]

Not much more to add that hasn't been said -- the Phish played a fantastic Halloween set.

Completely unique and original idea. I was absolutely blown away by the entire second set. The theatrics, the music, the stage set up (it was so badass how fishman had his back to the crowd -- kinda seemed like he was directing the band) -- I really loved every second of it.

I'll admit, The third set may have fell short a bit, but at the time I was on cloud 9 after sets 1&2 and really was just enjoying the show.

Easily my favorite of the 4 Halloween shows I've attended. Really, it's not even close. Yeah phish.

I thought  the 3rd set was super good.  Will need to relisten, but I was feeling it for sure.  That Sand was redic, and the backdoor Tweeprise was redic too.  Frankenstein was nuts.  First encore was a little odd, but knowing the lyrics really make it hit home. Even Guyute, a song I can't normally stand was played well.  Hicks and I were raging the floor, at least for the 3rd set.  I spent the second set cowering alone under some bleachers.  Really.

[Gundo]

There are so many of those new tunes that I love. I REALLY hope they hold on to the first track, The Haunted House. I've had a huge itch for some really scary Phish lately and that tune scratched it good. Would have freaked me out if I was there. I'd also like to see The Birds stick around too.

[rowjimmy]

I enjoyed the jamming in the third but, I can't sit here and let you praise the playing of that Guyute.

Though I can imagine enjoying it if I were in the room under ideal conditions...

How much L did you consume?
