Definitely up there in the top tier of an incredible run. Can't wait to relisten.
Thank you, Phish.
Might be the best show of the run, I thought the first set was grrrrreat, and the rest speaks for itself..
Obviously, amazing run..
I had high hopes for Set II.
I feel like like an ungrateful prick for saying this, but I was totally let down with that Set.

100% good point.
That Simple was hot.
The YEM was cool. Just felt disjointed a bit and like it wasn't as big as I thought it would be. Maybe a relisten is in order.
I could easily put this up against many a run (of this length) in their career.
Zero hype, going off a few full shows and some highlights from the rest..
Not one song about Glaze???

I honestly love that other people had a different feeling.
I hope I eat my words on a relisten

They got their notes mixed up and were supposed to cover Purple Glaze instead of Izabella.
This was simply the best phish tour I've ever seen. So happy.

So much this! Actually, this article says they did...
QuotePhish then returned to celebrate their achievement with their very own banner raised to the rafters at Madison Square Garden before playing an emotional version of "On the Road Again," with Anastasio and McConnell struggling to get through their respective verses. The song was played for the first time since August 31, 2013.

And this!
I'm really hoping that Most Events finds its way into the rotation
Show was legit.

True Story. Sorry I missed you this morning.
Initial reaction is overruled by second listen.
That Simple makes the set. Still feels a little disjointed, but it definitely stands up.
Encore was straight money.

Likewise.
Rain prompted me to call an audible and hop a train.
Just listening to the first set... and laughing because I think everyone starts playing Ha Ha Ha in a unique key. Which makes for an interesting sound.

Ha Ha Ha
I can't watch this encore without crying my eyes out. Unreal. The anti-Coventry cry. They made it. All 4 of them, intact. They got there, and they did it, and it was actually great.
If you go back and watch, Trey is crying during the banner photo, and then has to wipe his eyes multiple times before they even start playing. I can't even think about it right now.
Great show, Great run. This band does it again.
There were so many inside jokes in that set that I lost count. Unreal.
On a day where I am celebrating my 19th anniversary of Lemonwheel, 20th for Went and 21st for the Ball I am almost in tears thinking about how this band has defied all odds countless times to remain the greatest touring act of my life.
I celebrated my 40th birthday in April at Trey Austin where they opened with On The Road. To close out my summer vacation with On The Road at MSG with all my friends in section 115 with me was an unreal experience. I f-ing cried. And I never cry. Amazing.
Just listened to the Simple (24bit Matrix). First time since seeing it live. Good lorrrrd that's a groove! At 12:58 on the matrix, Fishman hits this slinky swing that is oh so good! :rawk:
