Gap = shows since the song was last played, at the moment it was played.
Terrific Phish. Yes, the old-school "Stash" formula continues to melt, but the band, while eschewing tension and release, doesn't break for "major," or "bliss" jamming; instead, driven by Fish, the friends quickly enter an extended passage of full-band improvisation - a jam (given there are two) better left playing than reading someone labor to describe. Or, if you like: It's as if current runs at "Melt" and "Stash" produce a love child. All this and the band doesn't veer so far that "Stash," as song, becomes unrecognizable. Amazing.
Jam
Dinner and Movie was performed for the first time since August 4, 2017 (177 shows). Trey teased If I Only Had a Brain and Dave's Energy Guide in Ruby Waves. Chalk Dust Torture was unfinished. Mike and Trey teased Sundown in Bathtub Gin.
