Stash - not my choice of opener, but it had a pretty tasty jam. Got dark!
The Dogs - rocked good and raised the roof but didn't do anything jam-wise
Blaze On - I still think the song itself is dumb, but this was a great version. The jam was must-hear, imo. Just wonderful upbeat bliss jamming that rocked.
Water in the Sky - beautiful but non essential
Ya Mar - Very fun, keeping the upbeat momentum of the last two songs. Non essential though a good toe tapper 
Moma Dance - excellent straightforward take.
No Men In No Man's Land - I'm sure you're all expecting me to gush, but I merely enjoyed this. 25 minutes but it didn't take me for any real journey like I hoped. Just a lengthy exercise in excellent funky Type II jamming. IMO, worth hearing once but not an all time.
Steam - They ALMOST nailed the segue into this perfectly! The guys were slowly morphing from NMINML into this and instead of waiting 20 more seconds for tempos to align, Trey just reverse-ripcorded the band into the song like "no! we are changing songs NOW!"
Funny but disappointing.
Chalkdust Torture - excellent straightforward take that rocks like no tomorrow. Segued (I think?) out of Steam, Steam didn't really have any jam. It kinda just ended abruptly and they JUMPED into this.

This was a good, enjoyable, SOLID show. No major trainwrecks, one massive Type II jam, some pretty good segues.
Pretty good upbeat rocking throughout (Chalkdust, Suzy, Fuego, etc) but I can't help but feel this show was a little "flat". Like stale soda or something. There's nothing WRONG with it, it's just not over the moon.
And that's fine! A "very good" Phish show is anyone elses baseline "excellent" show
It just didn't feel like it had the extra "pizazz" goin' on or something.
