Assessing a show in less than 24 hours feels like an impossible task. I’ve attended its birth and, now, these sounds I’m hearing are less than a day old. Honestly, I won’t have a hard opinion on any of this until days of re-listening have passed. I’m reporting on fumes and a healthy dose of post-show listening. Here’s my initial take.
Phish gave the phans an absolute banger of a show. For a band that encompasses many genres, last night provided a heavy dose of old-school straight hard rock. That doesn’t mean they didn’t save plenty of space for solid exploratory type 2 jamming. There were definitely a handful of jams that are worth digesting and exploring. I thought the show had a 1.0 tinge to it, with the kind of messes that didn’t take anything away from the vibe, because the vibe was filthy. This show was downright dirty.
