Insane.... Phish came out raging from the off last night. With everyone still buzzing from the night before and the double Tweezer Reprise to end, they walked out just as it was getting a bit dusky and launched into....... Tweezer Reprise! the first time It's opened a show since November'95.... and the place went wild like nothing I've ever seen.
What an amazing venue. Had a great seat inside the pavilion and good people all around me - really intimate feel. Amazing energy
Set I
Tweezer Reprise, Chalk Dust Torture, Funky Bitch, Runaway Jim, Ya Mar, Sample In A Jar, Axilla > Fluffhead, Bathtub Gin, Suzy Greenberg
Set II
Rock & Roll > Free, Backwards Down The Number Line, Halfway To The Moon, Prince Caspian > Joy, David Bowie, Show Of Life
ENCORE
The Squirming Coil, Character Zero, Tweezer Reprise
So many highspots - Fluffhead obviously. a Bathtub that went to the outer limits, and a huge glowstick war out on the lawn during Suzy. All guns blazing throughout the first set. Some pauses for breath in Set II during the debut of Halfway To The Moon and in the quieter section of Joy, but it was obvious that the band felt at home in one of their favourite venues and the second set continued where the first had left off..... all leading to a stellar Bowie and the second outing of Show Of Life to close.
A beautiful Coil for encore, with the rest of the band staying onstage through Page's closing solo, and at the climax of Character Zero the thought occurred - they wouldn't play Tweezer Reprise for the 4th time in 24 hours would they?
There is nothing else like it
