Jam chartBrisk play takes hold from the beginning, with Trey and Mike's interplay being particularly elevated and conversational. Play then breaks into dreamier territory, retaining an upbeat bent while shifting between major and minor key tonalities. The band then latches on to an infectious, driving theme that culminates in hose-y Trey peaks and a massive Mike bass bomb before > "Twist".Before / after> TwistGap4SET 2

with Trey's careening sirens blocking out "woos") takes hold, before an excellent
key change leads to an (at times) polytonal synth-rich romp with top-notch

2024-10-27SunMVP ArenaAlbany, NYRated 72 · ListenJam chartBursting out of the compositional portion of the song, "Kill Devil Falls"
finds inspiration early yet again in 2024, as an engaging Type 1 attack
breaks for uncharted waters at the 7:00 minute mark. Fishman's
indefatigable pulse anchors an effects-heavy, psychedelic buffet that
traverses from minor key pastures towards serene major key play and
back again, at points abstracting into a polyrhythmic synth-filled Eden.
The music then shifts towards a celebratory major-key romp, before
resolving back towards "KDF's" jam/vocals for one last crescendo.Before / afterMountains in the MistWalls of the CaveGap3SET 1

consistency of its double-time rhythmic launchpad, allowing for the Phish
textural machine to intensify and grow in density. Colorful ambient
synthesizer textures coupled with Trey's seemingly endless bevy
of melodic ideas dress the freight train that is Mike and Fishman’s rhythm

Jam chartAn appearance of the dial tone opens the door to exploration and the jam first makes a quick detour with Trey playing wah rhythm chords while Page comes to the forefront, but before long it morphs into a more conventional upbeat jam.

Jam chartIn the longest version since Lakewood 2015 (since surpassed by 7/23/23), the band treats us to a buffet of '22 sounds. Coming out of the gate with a rollicking, fast-paced jam that transitions through discrete sections as Trey toys with his tone, play brightens with outstanding contributions from Mike and Page. Fishman seems to anticipate each melodic turn that Trey takes as the jam builds intensity and takes on a sharper edge. The last couple minutes serve as transitional space highlighted with washes from Page on the Moog before finally giving way to "Sigma Oasis".Before / afterSay It To Me S.A.N.T.O.S. >> Sigma OasisGap9SET 2
