Notes: This show was webcast via LivePhish and featured the debut of Mercury and the Phish debuts of How Many People Are You?, Heavy Rotation, and Scabbard (Anastasio). Trey teased Streets of Cairo in Back on the Train. Do You Feel Like We Do was teased after Maze. Page teased Magilla in Simple. Trey teased Little Drummer Boy at the end of Gin.

I really like Mercury for a first time around. Nothing wrong with this show, the solo tune spots are nice. Remind me of the show from February '03 when this also happened. I think the Mike song is about the only keeper, but probably only thinking that because Scabbard wasn’t a perfect piece.

Interesting second set, I’m not fan of A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing, and the Waves jam made up for that. Another fun “out of place” encore too. Love this band.
