Did anyone stream the past two nights (postreznorjack)? From what I heard they came out firing. I should probably just listen to the shows, but I definitely need to check out the new tracks they debuted.
Didn't watch the stream but had to download both shows because of all the new songs. Some are new new, some are side project songs having their Phish debut.
Listened to night one and enjoyed it, liked one of the new tracks (Blaze On) so much I've already listened to it several times. Kind of a snarky but friendly Little Feat feel to it, with lyrics that really got a crowd reaction.
I'm halfway through night two now, just starting the second set. On paper I am in love with this set:
Set 2: A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing > Waves > Wingsuit, Farmhouse > Simple, First Tube
Not a huge Farmhouse fan but other than that it looks like a real cohesive second set. And then Bathtub Gin as an encore, that must have been a blast at the show.
Neither of these shows are what I would call "scorchers", but they don't have to be to be kick ass shows. A few flubs here and there, but generally the band sounds totally relaxed and in the pocket, I'm loving it.
Really been enjoying listening to the shows this tour. I saw they played YEM last night though, so guess that means it's out for the next show (Austin). Oh well, still pumped either way Looking forward to listening to last night's show later today.
Blaze On is a great new song. Never heard Yarmouth Road before, and frankly hope I don't hear it again. That song was a massive swing and a miss for me. That's really been the only song that I didn't like from the first three shows.

Yeah a YEM the show before your show does make it less likely. Sorry man. Still plenty of heavy hitters on the table though.
Yarmouth is newish, about a year old I think. I like the song, but love the video:
It's telling that I've bought all 4 shows so far this tour. I see the setlist and have to hear the show immediately. Listening to 7/24/15 as we speak, 7/25/15 to follow. There's just a relaxed confidence to everything they are playing this tour. Maybe Trey fronting the goddamn Grateful Dead in a stadium increased his confidence.
Speaking of that, no Dead covers yet, interestingly enough. I would love to hear Phish cover any number of Dead songs.

I thought phish stopped doing dead covers? I agree that it would be great to hear some though! I lost my shit when trey started singing Bertha on the first night of the Chicago run. Probably my favorite dead song and I thought he did a fantastic job with it.

True, they haven't done Dead covers in a long time, I was just thinking since Trey took the time to learn all of them they might throw one or two out there this tour. I always have wild over the top expectations though. Just last night my friend and I were texting and had ourselves convinced Phish would encore lakewood night two with Epic > Tweeprise.
David Bowie -> Suzy Greenberg -> Tweezer Reprise, yes please!
Loved it, so glad I got to go. Paying for it now, with an hour and a half nap before work today, but worth it!
Long sets too, each set was definitely over 80 minutes, with set two close to 90. Need to pick this show up today, ready to listen to it again
awesome man glad you had a great time. I like the look of that second set for sure, will have to download and listen. Looks like you got the tweeprise for 7/25/15 tweezer! pretty cool.
things I call never come true, but I'm calling I'll finally get my first "The Sloth" in Atlanta. It's been a while since they played it and its my most sought after song.

Ya, the 1st set started strong, then dragged a little bit in the later half, but closed strong with Antelope. But that 2nd set was fantastic. 46 Days > The Dogs > 46 Days > Piper > Ghost was great, Gotta Jibboo was amazing too, don't know if I've heard that song before. Blaze On is really growing on me. And then closing it out with David Bowie, Suzy Greenberg > Tweezer Reprise was so awesome.

This is what I expected from the Dallas Observer. The reviewer says findng any avenue of appreciation at a Phish show is like a game of Where's Waldo in audio form.

Jealous you got Piper. Been chasing that one, especially since my daughter (piper) was born.

Friday, 07/31/2015 Aaron's Amphitheatre at Lakewood, Atlanta, GA
Set 1: Prince Caspian[1] > No Men In No Man's Land, Ghost, The Wedge, The Moma Dance, How Many People Are You?, Rift, Mike's Song > I Am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove
Set 2: Kill Devil Falls > Martian Monster[2] > Twist > Back on the Train -> Reba > Bathtub Gin[3]
Encore: Farmhouse > Character Zero
[1] Unfinished [2] Trey played drums, Fish played bass and Mike played guitar [3] Included whistling
Notes: Caspian was unfinished. On Martian Monster, Trey played drums, Fish played bass and Mike played guitar. Bathtub Gin included whistling a la Reba.
This show was part of the "2015 Summer."
I don't even really know what to say. That second set is one of the most perfect sets of live music I've ever seen (48 hour rule applies).
Set I had an unexpected type II ghost which was great. Rest of set I was well played, but set II was where it was at.
KDF joins the 20+ minute club, outstanding dark jam with a great peak. Shit myself when Page dropped the Martin Monster sample, rotation jam was ridiculous. Trey on bass, Mike on guitar, then trey and page on keys, then mike and trey on drums with Fishman on bass, then fish on bass with mike on guitar and trey screwing with the guitar pedals. Beautiful jam during Twist that worked perfectly after the insanity of Martian Monster. Back on the Train was perfectly played and kept the rhythm going. Reba technically sounded as tight as a 1.0 version, and Bathtub Gin after Reba was really unexpected, and was the best version of Gin I've personally seen live. Reba was unfinished, but Gin included Reba whistling from Trey with Page doing Reba whistling on keys for his first solo. So glad they just ended the set after Gin, it was the perfect way to go out.
Farmhouse > a triumphant Character Zero to close out this show that I think will go down in 3.0 history. Great enthusiastic crowd all night, no talkers around me, everyone high fiving each other and just getting down, really really amazing.
Bring on Lakewood night two! Happy birthday Jerry!

This show looks amazing, can't wait to check it out. Kill Devil Falls was pretty rocking earlier in this tour, can't wait to hear this version.
I wanted to wait a bit before posting my thoughts on ATL night 1 and you know what? I'm still blown away. Basically I have nothing to add to the conversation except another "Holy shit." That second set was basically the reason I've listened to this band for the last ten years or so.
Late to the game but what a weekend. Went to ATL 2 (HOW DID I MISS ATL 1!!!) & T-vegas. Where to start? Theme, lope, TWEEZER, Carini, DAT SAND. All in the first night. Tuscaloosa's crowd could have been a bit better, knew this going into it though since I went to school there. Been chasing meat & 46 days since I have heard of phish (Theme too. Highlights of ttown to me were Meat, maze, my friend, camel, -7, 2001 (tour debut whoop whoop), a day in the life to shut it all down. Funny that song was the opening to Neil Young's set a couple of years back in the same venue. Overall great time this weekend. Phish is hot this tour, if they are coming near you do not miss them.
Also, I had a friend who saw their first show on Monday. He has already texted me saying he has been binge listening all week.
Still no Fluffhead this tour. I'll lose my mind if they bust it out in Philly next week.
I might be the only one not looking for that lol. Heard it so many times in the late 90s and early 2000s that I just lost my shit laughing at "IT" when trey said mike doesn't want to play it
Edit: hope you get it. My chase has still not been played either...

Yeah I know it's a pretty noobish song to be chasing, but I've only seen them 4 times, so it's to be expected.
Plus I enjoy singing the song with my dog and calling her Toyhead, so it's obviously a very sentimental choice

Not noobish at all imo, just the way sets worked out for me I caught it more then most. Don't get me wrong, still one of my favorites and I'd love to hear it. I also realized about 20-30 shows in that I enjoyed a lot more if I wasn't chasing songs and just went to enjoy myself. Now I only look for things I haven't heard in ages(I keep it at 1 till it happens) and I always want Yamar lol
Speaking of noobish, beware the snobby vet phans. One of my friends got called a noob on his 89th show. To me its not about # of shows but seeking knowledge about the band to graduate to non-noob status.
In closing I leave you with a nice excerpt from the best show I was at 4/5/98

Getting ready to start the four and a half hour trek to Cuyahoga Falls. This will be my first non roo Phish show and only the second ever, with roo '12 being the first. So excited! Phish tonight! UM tomorrow!
