Unfortunately, that is not the best phish idiom to use as it has already happened. As always, with Phish you can never tell, so I'll keep my mouth shut and review what I DO know as opposed to what I don't. This show was the night before my first show at the University of Delaware, which also doesn't have a breakthru setlist, but dammit if that one didn't have me impatient as hell for Phish's next visit to town.
Opening is standard.
It's always standard. They rarely flub it, but by the same token they rarely jam it either, so they balance each other out nicely. I like this story not just for the twisted ending, but also for a little fun with the band and history of the song as well. Yes that's right, this song is something that uh, Fish and I wrote together a long time ago. His aweful little mangy dog Harpua.
