I am just desperate to hear that second set… I’ll just have to be content listening to last night’s second set until tomorrow. (which I am, of course)
I’m insanely jealous of you guys who were at this show!
As far as the songs off Round Room and Undermind go, here’s my two cents: I know a lot of old school phans don’t really like those albums- fine. The thing is, songs off the older albums that we all love have been played live a million times, and most have evolved beyond what happened at the recording studio. I mean, there’s a reason we like our Phish live, right?
With the exception of 46 Days and Seven Below (and perhaps Mexican Cousin and Waves to some degree), none of the songs from the last two albums have seen a lot of audiences. So. I think it’s just fine to be less than enthusiastic about the albums, but I think it’s an incredible injustice to our favorite band to not keep an open mind regarding the appearance of those songs in setlists. How else are the songs supposed to evolve to their full potential?
