As you mentioned, this was the 500th Possum. Additionally, Alpine was imparted with the 50th rendition of Meatstick and 5th NMINML tonight (thanks phish.net!). I can't be sure, but that has to be some sort of crazy statistical first (3 songs perfectly factored by 10 on the same night). Also, a very fair review. I wasn't at the show tonight, but I was at the '99 and '00 shows the author referenced. The second night of Alpine '03 was also very tight and consistently underrated by many. Tonight's show was nothing to sneeze at - especially with some scorchers in the first set like Julius and Maze. But (at least from streaming the show) it lacked the magic we have all come to expect in the second set, especially given what's occurred thus far in the Summer of '15. What's The Use? might've actually been the highlight for me. Here's hoping Sunday is better.
