Mark1828 I thought this was a fantastic show. The Hollywood Bowl is an amazing historic venue and to see one of my favorite live acts there with a great group of friends was a privilege.

Was the show seamless and perfect no but they played a lot of great tunes with precision and energy.

Personal highlights: DWD opener rearin and a kickin out of the gate.
Possum (not a repeat if you weren’t at the Gorge), Cities, Peaches..hell yea! Nice trifecta .
Tube short and sweet GBOTT was fun and stretched out just enough.

Wilson>Axilla also solid and remember...it's not a repeat if you weren’t at the Gorge.

Second set: I wormed my way down to a friends Garden box and was in tight.

Carini: was dark and mean,

Crosseyed: 2nd Talking heads tune of the night and this song never disappoints, very tight flowing and jammed out. Great one two punch to open set II

Mike’s>Joy >Weekapaug, 50 Ways>HYHU>Weekapaug: awesome sequence.

Mike’s was filthy, dark and mean just they way I like it.
Joy : better than Simple in this spot and “I just want you to be happy” is hard to argue with.
Weekapaug: always bassy fun. Page crushed the Moog for a nice stretch and it sounded very crunchy yet clean and really did it for me. Then Trey put down his guitar mid song and took John’s spot to continue a seamless three way Weekapaug jam. While they set up Fishman’s jr drum kit front and center for 50 Ways . I was impressed. I was in close and watched it all go down; very cool to see and hear Trey move to the full kit and watch them play musical chairs switching things up.

50 Ways>HYHU>Weekapaug: I was glad Fishman did Paul Simon right with a faithful cover of a very classic song then hammed it up with a few laps around the stage….worth a listen.

Zero f^&*ing rocks every time I find it hard not to like this song.

Quinn, Plan and Julius were all fun and well played but not earth shattering for me.

I love this band and where they take me.

Side note to all the people posting negative reviews and spewing hate across the internet about a band you love or once loved stop it. Don’t live in the past or the negative. Find something you like in the music and the people you are sharing it with, especially if you were not even at the show!!! So much of a Phish show is about your mindset and the people you surround yourself with. Get busy living and stop dwelling on the negative or just stop listening if it’s not working for you anymore.
