spreaditround SET 1: Runaway Jim: Nice rager out of the gate. Plenty of Trey trills.

The Old Home Place: Standard.

Dogs Stole Things: Standard.

Stash: left of at 3.39. Gets into that signature 97 dissonance around the 9 and a half minute mark. Gets really hairy! Lots of tension being built in the late 11’s – not your typical Stash tension, this one is of a very funky nature, lots of Trey porno funk type stuff. Back in normal Stash territory around the late 13’s. Huge wall of tension built in the late 14’s. Nice first payoff at 15:40. Another wall of major tension built at 16 with a decent payoff at 16:23. This is an excellent Stash that I would definitely recommend. This one is more about the body of work than it is the climax. Check it out, it’s well worth the 17 minute investment.

The Horse > Silent in the Morning >

Cars Trucks Buses:

Scent of a Mule: At around 5:20 this one goes full 97 with that signature tone from Trey that is just odd/weird – you know the one – this one gets into a very cool space with Trey and Page making waves. This doesn’t last too long, about a minute and a half and then back to your normal Mule stuff. This is a jam charts version. I personally would recommend it but if you are a Mule fan you may want to check this one out.

Chalk Dust Torture: Trey gives this a proper ripping.

SET 2: Free: This one gets that crunchy signature summer 97 Trey tone with Page behind him with some interesting synth type stuff. This is really quite good.

You Enjoy Myself: Very, very funky in the early stages of the jam with Trey doing his 97 porno funk thing, Mike throwing down bombs, Page syncing up beautifully with Trey and Fish driving the bus. Page drops the funk at the 13 minute mark and looks to start shredding. I love the loops that Trey throws down at the 18 minute mark – from here things are going into outer space a bit. Fantastic stuff in here! I love this jam, no B&D or VJ, it just melts into… >

Waste: Very cool, love this is this spot. It’s perfect.

Rocky Top: Standard. >

Funky Bitch: Standard.

ENCORE: My Soul – Standard.

Replay Value: Stash, Free, You Enjoy Myself

Summary: Pretty darn good show. Phish.net: Overall: 3.328/5 (61 ratings). To me, that seems low. Stash and YEM are big highlights and Free is quite good too. Mule if you are in to that also. So, for me; I would be fine at a 3.7 out of 5. Granted the second set is very short at 51 minutes but they make up for it with a 44 minute afternoon soundcheck that was free and open to the public.
