When the ENTIRE second set list is jam worthy you know you have something special on your hands
We all know that Trey is originally from NJ on his Mom's side and I may despise Jersey there is nothing that looks like a Garden or a State especially not in Trenton or Camden but nostalgia rules and makes Trey remember old photos of days gone by so for that reason I will give this venue top marks their top 2 shows one of them happened here in 1999 Back in the Chicken Shack for sure I only got to see some of the worst shows and the WORST were still amazing Phish shows 7-30-2003 Best YEM I have attended to date best MFMF opener ever and best Twist Walls of the Cave even Bug was good and I hate Bug(s) the song and the scritcher creature and the best ever opener besides maybe Fluffhead or Lizards is Wilson and I got a Wilson my first show opener in Cinci 2-21-2003 and another on what i assumed and everyone did would be their last 2 set show EVER 8-12-2004 Great opener for sure for all your CHOMPERS out there that love to sing or clap along to songs like Stash or HOOD vocals opener
This show is not quite as good as its predecessor in 1999 the best show ever to many Phish fans and i get why they think so This is not 2-28-2003 or Night 2 Magnaball level greatness but it is damn close When an entire 2nd set is a Jam that is cool as fuck when has that EVER happened except in this show? I would love to hear a reputtal show even if it is the 1st set all Jams that would be even more of a miracle so i dont think that ever happened This show even at 4.5 is underrated to me Unless you can come up w another show that the entire 2nd set was a Jam Not including Lawn Boy it was not the 30 minute 2017 one of course so it never jammed until that night in MSG and Zepplin is a rocker but just a guitar solo rocker like Sample in a Jar or Fire or Quinn the Eskimo Creedence nothing special in terms of jamming Even the best 1995 Johnny b Goode is still just a guitar solo at the end of the day They have yet to truly jam that song unless they went back w Marty McFly and changed Phish history in the past if so cool but until then Lawn Boy and Sample are the only 2 non jam songs jammed on 7-24-2017 because it was Donut Raspberry filled JAM night

UNDERRATED SHOW even at 4.5 just saying
