HenryHolland I'd say the tour started to really click once they hit the West Coast at The Gorge, the BGCA shows were fantastic. I enjoyed the free stream of last night's show, it was a fairly safe "festival show" but that's OK. It's Ice was well played and Wingsuit had a nice jam in it, plus I love the a cappella style of the Space Oddity cover, really good singing by Fish especially.

It's too bad that Punch You In The Eye was so poorly done, it's one of my very favorite Phish songs. I file it under one of those "lack of rehearsal and not being played a lot" songs.

I loved the Blaze On > Fuego > Ghost > Gin sequence, some really great stuff from Trey especially. Character Zero was predictable, it too was poorly played. I thought it was funny how quiet it was in the crowd when the band does the stupid "let's pretend to end the show so you'll beg us back" routine that every band does. Encores, eh?

Fish struggles to lock down the groove

For all the criticism Trey gets for screwing up (which to me mostly happens when he's staring at the ceiling with his mouth wide open or getting his pedals set), Jon makes a LOT of mistakes and sometimes can't even maintain a consistent pulse in the beat.
