Onward with 2011
Night 2 in Tahoe
Set 1 has a pretty terrible setlist FOR MY TASTE 
The bustout-nobody-cared-about of Dogs Stole Things opens the show.
Probably one of my least favorite Phish tunes, I can never remember anything about it even after listening. 
Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan - love this song but hate this set
placement. A bluesy opener followed by another slow song? No thanks.
It's ok though as this one is hot and good.
Poor Heart - now we're talking! BASS SOLO. Page SHREDS those keys!
Awesome version. Dare I say it felt jammed out - if that's even
possible!
Alaska - DESTROYER OF WORLDS. I like this song a lot but it's
just another bluesy little ditty. Kinda the sister of Ocelot, if you
will. Amazing version, Trey melts faces. GET THIS.
Halley's Comet - fun and good as always. I will never complain of
getting this on a setlist, but there is literally nothing special about
this version. Good fun as always.
It's Ice - Now we're talking! After listening to that horrendously butchered 1996 Amsterdam version courtesy @ThirdBowl , this one makes up for it. An excellent reading of a song I ALWAYS love to hear. Great stuff.
Now, It may sound like I'm being overly negative with this set so far,
but it's all been highly enjoyable and excellently played - just not the
songs I personally enjoy seeing all together in freakin' set
More to come....

From my Highlights List
Funnily enough, Harry Hood was the only song in set 2 that seemed sub
par! Not a great version imo. So therefore it is not on the list
No ** rating tonight. The first set was way too inconsistent for that.
BUT, that Stash and the entire 2nd set were among the best stuff of the
summer. Absolutely grab those.
