Solid, solid weekend.
Wow, I'll take a 6 song second set for damn sure!

I'm just gonna say I'm glad I bought the streams. Worth it. 100%.

can someone please ID what this guy has playing now, post-show???

Just listened to Sand > Ghost. Sand was pretty cool.

Ghost sucked.


Has anyone noticed how Page has been pretty much absent the entire weekend? His playing has been pretty lackluster IMO....

That said, these last 3 shows have been fantastic. I'm so happy the band is jamming.

[WhatstheUse?]

Killer second set. Super good flow, and great jams. Could have done w/o 20 Years Later bjt that's my only real complaint.

Probably the best 3 night run I've ever seen. Every night had some great highlights, so happy!!

Looks like fun weekend was had by all! good job, Phish.

[Itsnotanexperience]

wow.....they really got better and better from June thru September.    Looks like a great show by the second set.   Anxious to check it out.

I have to disagree, from what I've heard so far Page was right there, contributing nicely.

That 2nd set seems like a monster on paper.  Zero would have bummed me out to close the weekend and tour but they made up for it in other ways it seems. 

Super pumped for everyone at Dick's and thank you Phish for lighting a bit of a spark!

[mattstick]

Yup, that's vintage Phish. Moving through those themes, find ways to develop segues out of interesting jam spaces; Lizards, Hood to close? Yup.

Countdown to Dicks13 starts now.

Nans, that opening 50 mins was the shit. Some of the finest music they have made in a long, long time.

I'm not convinced that this represents a turning point or that PHISH IS FUCKING BACK, but goddamn would I have been psyched to have been there.

On the whole I still give Friday night a leg up since last night's first set was such a throwaway, but this second set is some damn good Phish (no 3.0 disclaimer required).

Thinking the same, my son's birthday will fall on the Wednesday after Labor Day next year....

Tale of two sets. First seemed like a mailed-in greatest hits cd. Second went right out there and stayed out there. I'm really glad I did the webcast the last two nights, something I pretty much swore off after the Alabama debacle
