2024-04-19 Las Vegas, NV - The Sphere, Night 2

 Set 2 opens with an incredible 20 minute Sand!! It spends most of its time in a hazy, looper-laden ambient rock zone before building to the biggest hose peak EXPLOSION this side of anything!!!! X FACTOR MAGIC! MUST HEAR!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!

And into a friggin 25 minute Tweezer we go!!!! Tweezer spends most of its time in a laid back bliss zone before going wild in the last few minutes. Great jam overall but not my favorite.

After a gnarly MyFe we get the good but inessential run of Mikes Lifeboy Groove followed by a ripcorded Tweezer. Thankfully a fantastic Fluffhead closes the set in perfect fashion!

An acoustic Farmhouse into a fine Antelope is the encore. Farmhouse is just gorgeous....

All in all, set 1 blew away set 2 for sure. The Sand and Tweezer and Farmhouse are all essential listening, but set 2 definitely took a slight dip in the midle for a while.

Still, this is a KILLER show that everyone needs to hear once! :D 

Set 2

A ripping 20 minute Wave of Hope gets us out of the gate for set 2. Heck yes. Wave is absolutely killer. It rages hard then dives into dar and bubbly type 2 befoe slowly and naturally building back out to the hottest hose peak EXPLOSION imaginable. A+ must hear!!!!! :D

After a solid WTU, we keep the energy high with a swift move into Ruby Waves. Ruby toys with jamming but really this one is all about that damn finale. HOSE EXPLOSION ANNIHILATION. MUST HEAR!!! WOPE 2.0!!! FRIGGIN AMAZING!!!!

After a lovely Lonely Trip to cool us down, things get dark and grimy and nasty with a really fantastic ASIHTOS. This one definitely sounds like you are drowning in the murky abyss. Dives deep then bliss rages out to a conclusion. Probably must hear.

The following Caspian however absolutely IS must hear!!! Absolutely incredible version! A+++++++

YEM closes the set proper. Trey struggles mightily and the composed section has definitely sounded better elsewhere. Great version other than that. Grab this!

Velvet Sea into a wonderful Hood to close the show.

All in all this was an AWESOME set and an AWESOME show! If you do not like HIGH FRIGGIN ENERGY Phish, then stay far away from this gig!!!! Definitely beat night 1 as a top to bottom full show experience!!!

Gin, Axilla, Theme, WOPE, Ruby, Caspian, ASIHTOS, Hood...thats a LOT of must hear, hose explosion greatness!

Definitely give this a go - its like drinking 5 Red Bulls and popping some Adderall. :)

Wow....
