kowphish Excellent recap of a night that in essence is the primary reason why we continue to see this band. We sometimes get caught up in compiling our own personal show stats, chasing that one elusive classic Phish song that seems to be played at every show but ours, analyzing 'best evah' versions or other secondary reasons that seem to have overtaken our original joy for the band, that core element that got us started from the beginning. But last night's playing, where every song was not only appreciated by the crowd but actually reveled in by the concert goers (like a baseball playoff game where fans anticipate every pitch, we sat on every note) is why we keep letting Phish entertain us tour after tour after tour. As written in the recap, this show had it all, so did Charlotte where we witnessed a damn good rock and roll band (a band you'd want to play your ROTC party). For some reason the Thanksgiving 1992 PortChester, NY run gets overlooked in the historical references of essential Phish shows, but if now a days two setlists like that came along in back to back shows we'd be discussing it for weeks, oh wait, it just did (6/17-19 just one day apart). Charlotte and Portsmouth gave us some essential, what they are all about, Phish. It's only Rock and Roll but I like it.
