re: Aawwww Yeah--Phish Summer tour begins!!

And a bust out of Dinner and a Movie--last time was a show I attended--the rain delayed Northerly Island show 4 years ago!

Trey is on fire right now...Hell the whole band is lit up. Another 2nd set heater!

i need this run to end, I'm exhausted.

Foreplay/Longtime would also satisfy the major bust-out song (553 show gap).

Cream Boston is what keeps me coming back. That set was great

That was killer.

This show has dropped out 6 times already and I went for 20 minutes with a frozen picture...this has been happening the last 11 shows.

It's getting old, especially at $25 a show.

Great time to be a fan. 7.28-30 was the best weekend run I've seen them play. Having a different theme every night in addition to the overall theme of no repeats has led to satisfying setlist construction, avoiding common 3.0 grievances (ripcords, mariamba lumina, whale call, relying too much on echoplex, etc), and most importantly - unpredictability. Sure- some of the covers have been pretty obvious calls (Cinnamon Girl) but others were out of nowhere (Everything In Its Right Place). The same could be said about jams- obviously Lawn Boy is the key example of this but others like Steep, It's Ice, 1999, Taste, ASIHTOS... who saw these being used as vehicles?

Lots of chatter about their touring approach changing after the success of Baker's Dozen and I'm for it. The band clearly thrives off the residency model.

For all stop-watchers
