Wait... LivePhish.com has S.A.N.T.O.S. after Ghost.

That Ghost is only 5 seconds longer than the shitty-ass UIC '11 version.  :-o

Yeah, shit got crazy at the end there.

I was ready for bed after the second set. They started Simple and I checked out. Check my phone after taking a leak and saw Martian Monster so I had to pull the stream back up on my phone.
Wild encore was wild.

First set actually picks up somewhere in PYITE/Blaze On and was really great from a Deatiny to the finish.

Second set was wacky. First Tube included unplanned acrobatics from Trey. Mike’s Groove was not too great. Fuego has no jam but it had a great Tweezer instead. Carini was also great. After that they pushed through a miniature ghost and wrapped with a fun SANTOS.

Not a bad wrap to the weekend despite the ups and downs.

Carini was the jam of the show for me, really good "soaring" theme in there.

Blaze On through the end of the first set was solid, Dan mentioned that he was glad Most Events stuck around and I agree, great addition to the rotation. 

Wish they had jammed Ghost a bit, but the segue into SANTOS was buttery. 

Still need to check out the encore, looks crazy.

Here's a clip of Trey falling during First Tube.

Me too, I love that song. I've been listening to a lot of the Vida Blue sbd's lately and have grown a new affinity for it.

 The seeds for this short Ghost>SANTOS were sown at Trey's 12-03 solo show in Mesa.  Viewed in this light, the short Ghost makes a little more sense.

Yeah. A lot more forgivable in that format. Not to mention novel.

great stand alone run.
Best mexico for sure. I guess this is the last year, at least at the Cancun/Tulum resort area?

The transition between the two songs was real nice.  Trey included the "extra" lyrics for SANTOS that premiered in the Mesa show (I think the NYE version as well).  SANTOS is a nice bookend to a run that included a lot of allusions to space and celestial bodies in a lot of the songs, including most of the bust-outs (Spanish Moon, Spock's Brain, Who Loves the Sun)  with a space heavy encore. 

Not making the case that the Ghost was the "best version ever", just that it is a smaller piece in a larger puzzle and not necessarily a throw away.
