spreaditround SET 1: Stash: What an amazing opener! This had opened a show once before up until this show: 3.24.92. This Stash smokes! Trey after the song is over, “that last song was live in concert. And we would like to play this next song, live in concert.” Totally jamcharts worthy.

The Old Home Place: Standard. >

Cavern: This type of placement had not been seen since Big Birch 7.13.94, so this certainly bodes well for this show. >

Divided Sky: Little different than your run of the mill version. Check it out as it is not only unique but rips.

If I Could: Gorgeous.

The Fog That Surrounds: Trey and Fish trade off on lyrics. I believe this was a first. Interesting how Trey picks away at the peak of this jam. Unique.

Acoustic Army: Mr. Henrietta on lead guitar, live in concert – Trey

Julius: Cool Buried Alive tease in here. Trey is at the height of his powers as he just tears this song to pieces.

Sample in a Jar: Standard.

First set summary: Killer first set! All time Stash and Divided Sky, they are always versions I point to when discussions come up about those two tunes, especially Stash dark horse type conversations.

SET 2: Possum: Trey RE chess match: On behalf of the band we’d like to thank you for making that move. This one gets a little evil/minor chord jam. Bit intense. Great jam! >

Bathtub Gin: Besides the Murat, this is version is one that really grabbed me back in the day. Trey even employs some loops early on in the jam! I like how in the last three minutes it gets chill and then Trey starts messing around with Weekapaug. Awesome version!

Mound: Standard.

Mike's Song: Awesome version and has some length to it clocking in at over 12 minutes. This one gets way out into space with some loops and other effects employed. This Mike’s has some real mind-bending potential. At the very end Trey is vocalizing along with the theme they have built, no lyrics just kind of singing along to it and this melts perfectly into ->

McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters: Page sounds amazing in this one on the baby grand. >

Weekapaug Groove -> Llama: ‘Paug is standard but the segue into Llama is incredible!

Suzy Greenberg -> Crossroads: The Sunshine of your Love stuff in Suzy is unreal, first Trey and then Page explodes with it on the baby grand. Legendary. When Suzy should go into the Fish scream, they instead hit the eject button for Crossroads. Sloppy, but whatever. This is a huge bustout and just second time played, gap is 197 shows from 5.8.93. Trey blows this out of the water. Machine Gun Trey.

Hello My Baby, A Day in the Life. ENCORE: Chalk Dust Torture: Standard

Second set summary: I have listened to this show many times over the years but every time I go back to it, I get blown away all over again. They are masters of their domain at the heigh of their powers. Possum is great, Gin and Mike’s are amazing. The segueing previously mentioned are unreal. This show has it all and I would gladly rate this as a 4.5 out of 5. It is one of the best shows of this tour, from one of their best tours ever. This show is a must listen for any Phish fan.
