NOTES
^= Phish debut, Tom Waits cover. Down we go!
~= Buried Alive in a hole!?! Oh no!…or oh yes?….;)
+= Trey, before Fish’s vacuum cleaner solo: “You know what they say: the more holes, the more complicated the vacuum cleaner!”
*= Excellent first set group interplay on the jam
@= The “Yeah, you better run!” version. Man alive!
#= All One Hole-y, Taste-y, Sneaky Groove
&= Out of the ether and immaculate
%= “Norwegian Wood” teases by Trey spawn new direction for jam; ends open ended rather than returning to “Taste”
$= “4,000 holes in Blackburn Lancashire…”

TONIGHT’S MVP WAS: TEAM PHISH! Come on, you shouldn’t be surprised by now: it’s proven imminently difficult to pick just one or two of these guys as MVP over the last stretch of shows during which they have been truly sharing in the groove in their singular way. That includes Kuroda and any/every one behind the scenes making this entire run hole-y. TEAM PHISH! TEAM PHISH!
