this light jam seemed to be a bit more thoughtful and patient than most. I figured we might get a light at this show, and it worked well in the opener slot. they showed little to no signs of rust in this first set of the tour.
every song was not only great, but it seemed to compliment the one before it oh so well. this is easily one of the best first sets i've seen the boys play. once again, the band seemed very in sync and focused as they drove this one home. page and trey worked very well as they built to the bowie climax. i thought this nice golgi would close the set, but fishman kicks into the bowie high hat as this one closes down. once again, trey was spot on and sounded quite inspired. divided sky worked beautifully in this slot. without skipping a beat, they keep pouring it on. very good version of this nice rare treat. page belted this one out, and trey wailed out some nice bluesy guitar licks. no one seemed to disapprove of their choice. they opted to skip the whistling section, but they slipped right into a nice jesus just left chicago. trey was not only spot on, but he played with a ton of inspiration. at this point, it is apparent that this set is going to be stacked. no problem there, they jump right into reba.
it sounded like they were getting poised to take this one on a little ride, they bring it back home. after a nod to the hawks, gordo starts up boogie on reggae woman. very no nonsense bluesy take of this phish staple. after this possu, everyone knew phish meant business tonight. possum kicks the energy up another peg, and trey did not have any trouble finding his place in this one. by about midway through, trey gets in there, and this wolfman's ends in fine form. gordon and page locked into a tight funk groove right off the bat in this jam, but it seemed trey had a little trouble finding his place. they brought this one to its traditional ending, and from there, the boys jumped right into wolfman's brother. it did not go "out there," but they showed that there was not a whole lot of rust to shake off and displayed some fine focus. from start to finish, the boys brought it.ĭown with disease kicks the tour off in style. I just got home from the bridgeview show, and let me tell you, this one was nasty.
