Hippogator This show is a solid example of how trivial and conceited the whole "rating the band" thing is. It's steeped in some weird ego elitism. What more could anyone possibly want from this band other than a show like Saturday night? How can you put a rating on a show like this and, if you do, why is it anything less than 5/5??

They come out swinging and do not ever let up. Every song is a banger. The Leaves placement is perfection, beautiful cool mossy field surrounded by raging hot fire. The band's interplay at the end of Coil is beautiful and when Page is finally left to do his thing is is tear jerking. Chalkdust stretches its legs and goes for a cross country run on the moon. Twist comes in and is welcomed friend that keeps the bacon sizzling. The 2001 is all-timer. Seriously they were super into this one, a must listen. Sneakin' Sally is another very welcomed song for the ears and they are not letting up!!

A perfectly placed Life beyond the Dream and closing the 2nd set with First Tube is CLASSIC.

This is peak Phish and if this doesn't do it for you, seriously ask yourself what are you even doing here in the first place? Still can't wrap my head around how anyone can put some sort of rating on this show. Enjoy this shit while it lasts folks. Are you going to look back when it's over and congratulate yourself on how trivial and score-minded you were about every show, patting yourself on the back about how you only accept the phinest Phish has to offer? Or are you going to look back and say "Holy shit I had such a great time with this band, they were such a gift."
