Anytime I get to see phish in my backyard and sleep in my own bed is awesome. It is unfortunately due to tragedy of flooding that we get this benefit, so I did what I must, and bought my tickets!

It was steamy, incredibly humid. I was seated on the left side, page side rage side. Not that I did much sitting. The sound quality was a little disappointing where we were, the music being played however, was anything but.

It was really interesting to hear the band take musical chances, and go down tonal paths that they have not followed before. It's not too often I get to hear phish play something that leaves me questioning my own sanity. But the band from Vermont did that multiple times last night, from blissful jazzed out improv, to deep and evil incandescence, we got the complete range of everything that is possible from four people playing different instruments together.

The first three tracks were all stellar, very intense, very rocking. Very jammy.

The Punch you in the eye was a great bust out, 37 shows since they last played it, and clearly something they had rehearsed, because it came off nearly flawlessly.

The Sand was very a different journey, sonically, then I really have experienced with Phish before. And I need to listen to it again.

I can't really add anything to the second set other than perfection, phish perfection. With a chalk dust torture that absolutely blew the roof off the place to finish.

I'm still not sure how to describe the show, but I know I sure as hell cannot wait for tonight.
