					 First set was really, really fun. Tom Waits/The Wire cover to start things off? F*ck yes.
		First set was really, really fun. Tom Waits/The Wire cover to start things off? F*ck yes. In my opinion(& that's all that it is), I like this show more, and rate it higher than 7/30. I love Esther, and it was played very well on the 30th, but the remainder of the set, FOR ME, was alright. I got my Icculus>Mockingbird quite a while ago(and more than once), so I generally find myself waiting until they're over. You get my point. Drowned I thought was decent ambiance, but not spectacular, and the true winner for me of the whole show was Assy-Toes....just fantastic weirdness.

Motion to get this mikes on the "highly recommended" chart! Absolutely excellent version. I'd say hands down the best of 3.0. Contemplative, celebratory and down right rocking! Probably my favorite jam of the run along with the jam out of 1999. Lawn Boy and company get and deserve all the praise in the world, but this Mikes flows incredibly well and takes me there! See you all at dicks!

	 Okay, so I've totally given up on trying to do normal reviews with these BD shows... this is just one HUGE show and this is the tenth episode. And like all of the others, it's absolutely essential and a complete experience of the joy that is PHISH!

And like all of the others, it's absolutely essential and a complete experience of the joy that is PHISH! Set 1: What, Trey didn't want to try and emulate Tom Waits' singing style for Way Down In The Hole? An enjoyable first set nevertheless (it's got Buried Alive - albeit with a false start - which is always a good omen), peaking with a Meat that Fish's blown reentry helps steer into a swampy take on Meat and the usual fireball peak in Maze. Antelope is a low-key late-90s style version to cap off the set, with Trey doing the classic downward trills at the end, so that's a thumbs up from me.

		My 80th show which I suppose is a milestone. Two songs were played this night I saw my first show on 11/2/96. Antelope & A Day in the Life.  The first set is particularly notable to me for the Phish debut of Way Down in the Hole, and a jam out of Meat. Run Like an Antelope brings some high-octane performance to a set that otherwise, while highly enjoyable, feels to me a little bit underwhelming. The second set, on the other hand, is objectively notable for the much sought-after return of the second jam in Mike's Song, as well as the Phish debut of O Holy Night (over an eerie, psychedelic instrumental backdrop) and perhaps the best Taste ever. Phish did a second jam in Mike's on 8/4/15, too, but this one feels a bit more true to the precedent set by Mike's in 1.0. A speculative impression that I get is that if you look way back, to, like, when Phish played their one-set openers for Santana in 1992 or 1996, the second set of this show would seem to be a sure way--if this wasn't anachronistically impossible and unnecessary at this point in Phishtory--to hook some new phans as a one-setter, but I'm not sure if as many phans would ever have been hooked if they hadn't had songs--and performances thereof--like those in the first set to balance the equation.

Fish messed up some drum lines and Trey missed a bunch of chords. Then, the band started coming together and at the perfect moment because that Meat was pretty rad with Maze immediately after. Then, there was a little bit of a breather for the band before they killed the Antelope to close out the first set. I didn't think the first set was played as well as some others during BD.

On August 2nd, 2017 I rushed from the Ed Sullivan Theatre (where I had just witnessed a killer eight minutes of Joe Walsh performing on Colbert’s show) to Madison Square Garden for my second taste of Phish’s instantly-legendary Baker’s Dozen run.

Review by salorsino
Starting off hot they go right into the donut theme with "Way Down in a Hole", and then as many people guessed and were thrilled to see, Buried Alive which always gets people moving. KDF is a great Joy track that shows how they can play some standard rock but roll it out for almost 10 minutes of Phish-rock. GUYUTE! No one is ever really expecting a Guyute, and 3 songs into the show it really sets a bar for the energy of the show, not to mention this gave CK5 some time to shine. I Didn't Know is just a classic, and gave everyone some time to breathe, except Fishman of course, and followed into a standard but very welcome NICU.
After some chatter, no one was sure what was about to come up and then BANG, some Meat right to your face. Again, this is a song no one ever expects to hear, but when it comes out people are ecstatic. It's great to see a band go from a hard rocker, to an orchestral composition, to an a cappella vacuum cleaner song, into some swampy thick funk all within an hour. This Meat stays rolling in the swamp, definitely a standout version for 3.0. We hear the tick of the high hat next and immediately know it's Maze, and that everyone is getting ready to jump. This one seems to hit a few extra peaks than your typical Maze, but all in all is just as Maze usually is - kick ass and another CK5 standout moment. Gingseg and Heavy Things definitely cooled the crowd off a bit, but for what was about to go down in the second set, we could use a breather. Not to mention this Antelope to close the 1st set - placement of this song here foreshadows the epic monsters to come in just a half hour, and the whole building had their gear shift for the high gear of their soul.
Lights go back down, and Mikes Song has begun! This whole summer tour the 2nd set opener has been the big time slot- Chicago Simple, Carini, Tweezer, we know that this is the spot for the big one, yet Mike's hasn't passed 13 minutes in 3.0. Could this be the one? Yes, yes it is the one indeed, and after the first jam ends without any hesitation they dive right into the second jam, and as many have said this run describing a jam is like explaining a kaleidoscope to a blind man, you just can't. Just go listen. O Holy Night, while more of just a pun on the donut hole theme, was very eerie, had the band covered in steam, and was just weird. I loved it. Taste pops up next, for a second I think folks in the crowd thought it was 1997 again the way this groove was going. Taste hits it's usual peak and then heads off to space, but not the nice parts of space where astronauts visit, the dark parts where movies like Promethius take place. Again, just go listen to know what I mean.
WIngsuit follows and while mellow I personally love this song, it showcases some colorful tones from the entire band and does give us a break from the previous 40 minutes of mayhem. Next we hear a familiar 4th quarter funk riff, and not uncommon to be sandwiched in a MIke's, Sally was snuck right up our alley and the crowd loved it all. Short but sweet, it was a funk monster as usual and no one is ever gonna complain about a Sally regardless how short. Weekapaug breaks out of the end of Sally and though skipped Mike's usual intro, this Weekapaug was extended into some great territory that strayed just ever so slightly from the regular chord progression. We knew this was going to close the set, and when they finished everyone was beyond thrilled with this incredible 2nd set.
A day in the life is not a song I usually listen to, but fit the holes theme also, maybe tonight was the most donut referenced night of them all? Could be wrong but there was 4 songs, pretty good number. Anyway, this was a phenomenal show, and can't wait until the weekend for even more madness!!
