Waiting All Night sounds great, Trey doesn't say he's holding on though and Mike throws the Moog bombs in some different places. 

I love this song as an opener.  So weird.  So chill.  Fuck yeah, Phish.  Sell that album. 


Edit:   eek, Trey solo start was pretty fucking rough..... yowzers.  Dude sounds totally unprepared.  Come on man, you were killing this during the summer!  But holy shit does Mike and Fish fucking kill it under Trey's solo!!  This jam rules!!!  They're growing it, and Fish is all over with the fills.  This is amazing.  I love it.  This could actually build into a real jam sometime with the energy they're throwing into it.

oh man this Twist!!!!   Its chill like Glens Falls.  Lots of good stuff from everyone.  Especially Page, though.

the thread title formatting around here has really taken a turn for the worse, just smdh

Feel free to get involved.

Show had some definite highlights in Reba, Simple > Maze and C&P and it was nice to hear them avoid a Oye Como Va jam in Twist for once.   Carini had some cool parts too and Plasma will be a welcome addition if it sticks around. 

But beside Strange Design the first half of the first set was basically a throwaway and the Farmhouse/ Halfway to the Moon combo had me questioning whether the set had jumped the shark.  Thankfully Twist turned things around and then C&P blew the lid off. 

Good times for sure and at the end of the night even I couldn't hate on Sleeping Monkey.   :wink:

Will definitely be streaming tonight as I had to sacrifice Seattle to go to Vegas, and I suspect tonight may top this show.

My buddy who went to the show said they were able to play until midnight, which is pretty sweet since most venues (like Cuthbert) cut the sound at 11:00.

4  y  hours on a Saturday night in Eugene sounds nice to me.

An enjoyable listen just about start to finish. Roggae may have been tops in the first set. Also, Plasma sounded pretty dang good. Would love to see them continue to play that.

And by Roggae you mean Reba.   :wink:

That whole segment from Reba on was great, imo.
Roggae WAS nice.
The slide into Maze from Simple was pleasant.

I totally agree.  Before Reba, I was not intending to listen to the whole show because East Coast.  Reba was nice, but that Roggae was an important moment in the show.  From that point on, it was clear that they were flowing and not forcing anything, and it made the show incredibly enjoyable to listen to.  Nothing otherworldly, just a good show all around.  I think I may need to relisten to the C&P to see if it went further than I remembered.  It was late at that point and I was drunk watching the stream with my neighbor on my back porch, but we were dancing around like little girls during that segment.  :banana: :banana:

[WhatstheUse?]

Really dug the Pasma! And they actually segued into it!

[Hicks]

Roggae was cool but Reba was clearly the turning point for the show.

[rowjimmy]

I think we're saying very similar things. Reba was the point when things got up and out of the rut, but Roggae was when it was clear that Reba wasn't a fluke.

[VDB]

Still best show of tour so far, of course. Trey sounds better than I think he has in the other shows. Not perfect, but better.

I really like the Twist. It has a slow, Reba-esque quality to it. Mike sounds great. To quote the guy on the phishtracks.com AUD afterwards, "Nailed it!"
