Review by dr_strangelove

dr_strangelove The entire second set is worth a listen. The energy in the band is definitely present throughout, from the moment they emerge from the goofy rendition of Free Bird to provide a face melting jam.

1) Quinn the Eskimo: Saucy jam with Page and Trey taking turns, respectively, in marinating the groove

2) Free Bird: This rendition is so stupid and silly. Comically half-assed vocals, bizzare wailing sound effects from Page throughout. What a laugh. And just when you turn your back on it, a soul demon leaps out Trey's guitar and slays face, and you are blinded by the blood streaming down your eyes because the rampage only intensifies. Goofy hijinx + rock carnage = Classic Phish.

3) Happy Birthday -> Harry Hood: The reggae-style happy birthday is a nice novelty, but I really like this butter smooth transition into a respectable Hood

4) Tell Me Something Good: Damn, I forgot that this song kind of rocks. The female vocals is kind of nice too. Would stoked if Phish brought this back to the rotation one day. It just has that groove vibe ala Phish

5) Freeworld: Another interesting one off. A fast-paced lounge style bluesy song. The energy wave that Phish is riding during this second set makes it a pretty nice addition to the set.
