And don't slouch on that Blaze On! I wasn't exactly sold on that song but if they jam it like they did last night, I'm on board.

my thoughts exactly. thought it was about to fade out but they went next level w/ it

It almost sounded, to me, like the riff that turned into that weird, repeating jam started off as an accident and they just ran with it. I was highly impressed.
Is this still Wombat?

4th set was honestly the most psychedelic thing I've seen phish do. I've NEVER seen a visualizer quite like that.

And the jamming, man. They were fucking jamming! Such seamless flow between themes. I don't know why they don't jam like that all the time.

I seem to remember you saying something extremely similar about the Storage Jam.

Totally true, that storage jam blew my mind. But last night absolutely topped it.
Bring in the dude!

Definitely absolutely topped it..

4th set last night was the best phish experience of my entire life, that set was exactly why I love phish, so new, cool and unique..
If this is love, I'm never going home..

Tuned in last night during Blaze On. Can't wait to go back and listen to moar of this show, and night one, as well. Back on track with them bringing the heat. Good stuff. Haven't listened to a Velvet Sea since my Coventry movie theater webcast experience, and we all know that was. Not really a fan of it anyway, and seeing them choked-up & emotional was tough to watch. Last night's version really grabbed me, in particular the guitar fills towards the end of that tune. Cathartic for me, personally. 

Nice cohesive jamming for the most part, and thinking that were locked-in as all four of them playing as one. I like the cow funk, and thought they wove it in & out of some great, psychedelic jamming. The Mutron effect is cool, and I agree with the thoughts pertaining to Trey's tone sounding the best in a while. Late set seemed trippy, and I want to see the visual theme, along with the audio. Folks at this one got a real treat. Can't wait to listen to tonight's show, follow along with the entire thing. :music: :phish:

Also, thanks to all 'P4ugers on-scene, all of the reviews, and general awesomeness. Y'all rule! :wtu: :sbw:  :tte:

I definitely heard some McGrupp type stuff in there, especially from Page.  It was the same chords they use to get out of the piano solo.  I was surprised not to see it in the show notes.  if that's the jam I'm thinking of from last night, I might have them mixed up

listened to the 4th set yesterday and again this am, so good.   epic Phish.  really unique stuff. 
I love being spoiled w/ new Phish from the Festival gigs: Soundcheck, FTA, juicy sets, epic late set, good tunes on the Bunny.  It simply doesn't get any better.

Fucking incredible show.

That 4th set was probably the coolest thing I've ever seen/heard in my entire life.

Yeah phish!


Unreal.  Probably my favorite Phish thing now.  I can't believe how good that was.  The whole thing was like a dream.  We booked over to the screen right after the encore, and was so tired from raging so hard to that 2nd set.  And then Phish goes and plays THAT.  The first few minutes were so beautiful and gorgeous.


I hope they release video, because those images of Page were to die for, with his head all manipulated.

so pretty much just reiterating what is already said

tweezer > caspian is fire. Caspian jam peaks and slays.
Blaze on has a nice jam, but this Light jam really takes off. The patience from Trey and the rest of the band really lets the jam evolve into something else. Trey sits back and lets page and mike take the lead and it sounds great! and the transition into 555 is smooth like buttah!!!
Not a fan of WOTC closers, but whatever.
Encore is fun.

One thing Phish has consistently done is thrown their new material right in the thick of things. Prominent placements, big jams. You're made much more likely to embrace these tunes if for no other reason than they're new jam vehicles, and who doesn't love jam vehicles. Now, the regression we sometimes see (e.g. remember when Number Line used to get taken for long rides?) puzzles me, but by that point a song may be firmly embedded in the pantheon and it will continue to get called upon at potentially big times.

This, anyway, is something that occurred to me while they were crushing Blaze On the other night.

i remember lots of people being upset with a lot of summer 97 because of all the new tunes, and the new sound ... now when you look at it, it was all so raw, the funk, the vibe, the sound ... all very raw.

now look at some of those tunes... ghost in particular. jam vehicle that needs an oil change.

so careful what you wish for

Yeah....  Ghost needs a shelving for a bit.  12 minutes at a fest?  Time for a break.


That, or bring back the album arrangement with the loops and the original chords.  That would help accent Mike's bassline a lot.

I thought this Ghost was fine. Trey hit on something that invited the swerve into Rock and Roll; it could have been smoother and sure I prefer my jams as long as possible too, but it was fine.

Drive-in set is good.  Real good.  Like, THE goods. How do you practice or learn to do that and not wanna just do that?!?
