At this point it's pretty clear that Kuroda, CK5, is dictating the setlists. I can just see the original band meeting a few weeks ago.....So guys, I have some insane visual ideas, it's going to blow everyone away, especially if they're tripping, but they require time to fully develop and show properly. So I am going to need every song to be long and jammed out. Nothing less then 10 minutes! No Sparkle, no short country songs, no short slow songs Trey. AND I need setlists that don't change!!! You don't get to screw me like you did in the 90s and make up setlists, so I can base my lights on it...and then don't even follow them at all! This here run at the sphere requires themes and set ideas for the songs...and you can't change them!! But we like to ease into the 1st sets and play some warmup songs that don't go anywhere? To bad Trey, I am going to be the bad lieutenant here...not you! Every song jammed out! But I want to play Axilla! That's fine....just jam it out! 15 minutes will be good! What about lifeboy after a MIke's? Fine....Just.Jam.It.Out. Be creative! The fans love it when you jam out something different. Take Lifeboy for a ride! You can do it. The whole 1st set....everything jammed out! No excuses! But But but I need some slow songs....
OK!! I will give you one or two short songs each night. But I need to know what you want to do. OK you guys have some homework now. Come up with 4 nights of setlists...How you envision each night to go and I will review them with my lighting team. Setlists have to get approval from lighting before you can move forward.

Joking aside, it had to be like that to a degree. Just look at the 1st set....every single song was jammed out. It was a perfect psychedelic set except it was yesterday that was dripping! Anyway, the bubbles in Tube!! and Pillow jets!! The misty mountains also cool. Which song had those fireworks trees? that was amazing!! I thought the Golden Age Twist and Chalkdust jams were the best parts. Especially that 2nd Chalkdust jam! The visuals on the screen are so amazing! So trippy! I took psychedelics for Friday and it was endless brain orgasms. I could see that tonight also had elements of that and I was just straight! If you feel like your tripping just from the screens...imagine what it's like when you are tripping!! And I watched from home and still got it....just imagine being in the sphere and tripping!!! Killer job Phish team translating it to the webcast so well!! Make sure we can buy the videos so we can have acid parties at home with them!!! Mind was blown on Friday!! And how good the sound is with no amps on the stage!! wow just perfect sound!
