first of all, FUCK all the haters; half of you probably weren't even there anyway, and your a bunch of jaded, spoiled assholes.
i was there, stuck around thru the rain delay and got way up front for 2nd set.
for my first phish show in 5 years i thought it was pretty damn good.
trey was on, but not as much as alpine; definitely heard a few flubs, but nothing that made me cringe.
overall the band sounded really tight to me. a lot of people area saying page is the most improved and i think they're right.
of all the new songs, i really like ocelot the best. i think it has a lot of potential.
the wedge was a nice suprise, as well as ac/dc bag. i thought moma was way too short though, and they completely cut off the jam in SOAM; almost like they got bored with it or something.
but they played the shit out of fluffhead. the pre-arranged sections sounded great, and trey's solo really got me going. the second set WAS better; drowned was sick, tweezer was well developed and 2001 and suzy were just nasty. did anyone else notice the train wreck during possum though? sounded like trey bombed and then the sound cut out for a while...kinda weird
