I re-listened yesterday and REALLY enjoyed this show a second time. One of my favorite 3.0 Caspians. I love the “ALRIGHT’s” belted out by Trey in RandR! I fucking love Wingsuit. Very different first set. Meatstick was cool because I was sitting some folks that came to the show all the way from Japan (wearing Fukuoka shirts)! Something going on with Mike’s mic or voice in that one though.
I personally found this show to be most enjoyable. Not a legendary show to be remembered for all time, and not even the best night of the run. Just a solid night of music.The only criticism is the poor placement of Wading after several other mellow tunes. But it didn’t ruin the show for me. It was a nice mellow vibe in there, being the night after NYE. All the amateurs and pedestrian attendees were still sleeping off their hangovers, and the rest of us got to kick back and listen to Phish play good songs all night. The whole first set was well executed, with nice flow, and an appropriate song selection. Nothing went type 2 but Piper, Antelope and RnR were all pure bliss.
