Nice recap. I really enjoyed this show from the couch. But then, I've actually enjoyed this year's shows quite a bit. They're really experimenting with new sounds and textures. People who think there's trouble within the band are reading into things a bit too much. They're trying new things and having fun doing it. Phish business as usual.

Couldn't agree more.

The phrase "the often listless nature of most of the summer tour shows" almost put me off from reading the rest of the review.
Regarding that quote, same here. If I get the same kind of Phish two years in a row I imagine I would be very bored, and not be surprised or shocked. "Shocked" is the best word I can use to describe how I feel at Phish shows now, mainly because they do stuff and I'm left speechless. Like the return to ending in this show's Disease, I automatically wish I had Goku's "instant transmission" power to leave my couch and be there the second one of Trey's best riffs ever flew off my TV screen to my face.

I think Trey was too excited and happy and full of energy to even think about how to play the standards, or sing. He "said" Free, he didn't really "sing" it. I thought he was gonna start crowd surfing before Wilson had ended. I can't wait for tonight!! Thanks for this spot on review, you made me happy man :)
