Set 1: Simple > My Friend, My Friend[1] -> I Didn’t Know, Poor Heart, Stash, Tela, It’s Ice, Guyute, The Divided Sky, Amazing Grace

Set 2: David Bowie, The Horse > Silent in the Morning, Reba, Scent of a Mule[2], Lifeboy[2], The Old Home Place[2], Beaumont Rag[2], Nellie Kane[2], Llama[3]

Encore: My Sweet One

[1] Extra lyrics from Mike.
[2] Béla Fleck on banjo.
[3] Began acoustic, then switched to electric. Béla Fleck on banjo.

Notes: My Friend My Friend included additional lyrics from Mike. Before I Didn’t Know, Trey introduced Fishman as (former NFL quarterback) Ron Jaworski. Scent of a Mule through Llama featured Béla Fleck on banjo. Llama began in the acoustic setup, but during the song the band members switched back to their electric instruments. After Silent, Trey introduced Fishman as the “Creature from the Black Lagoon,” referencing the horror movie of the same name.

This second set if fucking awesome. And apparently it’s a sbd. The 19 min Bowie kicks things off quite nicely, but the 20 min Reba shortly after is also the bees knees. These are both versions of classic Phish tunes that everybody should hear. Then Bela Fleck for Scent is awesome as is the rest of the acoustic bluegrass stuff cause he’s playing, and the transition from acoustic to electric Llama is a lot of fun and Bela tears up the Llama jam.

The first set is also good. I like the Simple>My Friend to open the show and the Stash is $$$

WTF is this Llama!?!?!

How…what?..how have I never heard this?

This is easily the greatest Llama ever and maybe the best thing I’ve ever heard Phish play. 10 minute or so acoustic Llama -> electric Llama. Holy shit.
