PedalSteeler Andrew's assessment of a "choppy" Landlady was pretty fair, to my ears. Trey seemed a little tentative throughout, and I counted multiple phrases that he didn't start or *land* where he intended ;) There were a couple spots where his timing wasn't quite on target, and it was pretty obvious that he was a little rattled/off with his tempo on the vocals coming out back into PYITE, which were noticeably slower.

That said, the guitar lines in this song/section are intentionally loose in places and there were a couple of "surprise" notes that actually sounded kinda cool. One of my favorite things that I've learned from Phish and that's been reinforced in my playing through the years is that when mistakes inevitably happen, the *absolute* best thing you can do is to smile and laugh it off. And they routinely do.

Some of my favorite Phish moments through the years have been shows (presumably like this one) where band gaffes got them laughing and shenanigans ensue! And that's a big reason they are so widely popular, that shows can be fun and memorable even when the band is not totally locked in musically and living up to the insanely high bar that they've set for themselves.
