Moving on with 2018, I venture onwards to Dick's 
Free begins 8/31/18 with a bang. It's not the greatest of all time, but
the energy is definitely there and Trey is at least trying to be
creative in his squawky/squirrely, start-stop soloing.
On paper, this setlist is immense!
9 of the show's 15 songs are more than 10 minutes in length with 3 more
at least 8 minutes long. And of those that exceed 10 minutes, 6 of those
are more than 13 minutes in length!
Wowzers - I know numbers ain't everything but, c'mon, this is Phish - we usually want some length
Harry Hood - Harry Hood is always the greatest feel-good jam of all, and this one is yet another great one!
If you want to put a stupid grin on your face and turn your bad day upside down, devote 15 minutes to this - thank me later
Blaze On - This is HOT! It takes a little while for the real meat of the jamming to take off, but once it does....WHOOSH! INTO THE SUN!!!
Ultra hot Type I
Ghost - It never goes deep space, but it RAGES ultra funkily for its 15 minute duration - I mean, they are getting down! Clavinet, wah pedal, guitar loops....the whole 9
And then we segue perfectly into Crosseyed and Painless - boy oh boy
these were made to be played back to back with jamming like this!!!
Oh man, if I was at thsi show I would've danced so hard that I would've
achieved vertical lift and then shot myself into outer space!!!!
Carini -
Add this sucker to the ALL-TIME-GREATEST LIST PRONTO
Sure, it
ain't Fukuoka 2000 Twist>Jam sequence, but for a 20 minute 3.0 jam,
this covers a HELL of a lot of terrain. By the end of it Carini is a
mere twinkle in the distant past. It's GONE. We are to the next
dimension
Light - In the middle of this monster, I can firmly say now that this - imo -
has been the best show (or at least the most out there) of 2018 SO FAR.
This show is essential latter-day 3.0 listening
