d/a/b/s of goo.

This fall has been an interesting one for Phish and fans.  With the collective thought being that their playing is nowhere near what it has been in Summer '14 and certainly all of '13, I have had a feeling of them losing steam.  But, just when you think they have run out of creativity, passion and surprises - like no other band, Phish delivers. 

Last nights second set was quite literally, a dream set for me.  Maybe I'm still basking in the afterglow, but in all of Phish's 30 years, that was the set I wish I was in attendance for the most.  It combined my love for so many things (horror, halloween, phish, ambience, creativity) and put them on the grand stage.  Phish took an old Disney haunted house soundtrack and used it to propel their music into a new direction.  Phish sauntered through 10 improv and composed tracks that sound as fresh as anything in music today.  I am so anxious and excited to see where this music goes from here.  Jams, album, songs?  Its everything we love about Phish all rolled into one.  Thats what last nights second set was.  

Sounding comfortable for the first time all Fall, the follow up set was a marvelous, free flowing, unforced exercise and really sets the tone well for the next two nights.  The only complaint is knowing that there are only two shows left in the tour and it feels like they are just hitting their stride now.  

Your trip is short, and Phish gave us what we want.  It was chilling and thrilling and the best Halloween set of all time.
