I will let others comment on the quality of the show overall, the X factor of being in the room versus being on the couch, specific songs/jams, etc., but I feel compelled to point out something that somehow other reviewers have missed.

20 years ago yesterday I remember exactly how I felt being in my skin when phish busted out Carinna on day one of big cypress, early in the first set. In a first set full of breakouts, that was arguably my favorite moment. Exactly 10 years later/10 years ago, I remember exactly how I reacted when they broke it out again, in what was undoubtedly a nod to big cypress, on 12/30/2009 in miami. And last night, 20 years later, they did it again. I’m not sure how many other folks caught it, but this old timer can tell you with absolute certainty but if we are lucky enough to still have this band in 2029, and if we are luckier even still to be getting another New Year’s run, I know of at least one song that will be included in the first set, And I can tell you with absolute certainty that I will once again jump through my skin with joy and excitement, even if I can barely walk at that time :-)
