SET 1: Free, The Moma Dance, Axilla (Part II), Mercy, Bathtub Gin, Theme From the Bottom > Split Open and Melt
SET 2: A Wave of Hope, What's the Use? > Ruby Waves, Lonely Trip, A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing -> Prince Caspian, You Enjoy Myself
ENCORE: Wading in the Velvet Sea, Harry Hood
The band took the stage while pre-show music similar to a Free jam played, which continued until they began the song and waterfalls of colored light suddenly cascaded from the top of the dome. During Moma, a moving, 360-degree live shot of the crowd and band was displayed, with psychedelic colors and effects. During Mercy, the dome displayed an overhead view of a sparkling ocean, with small birds in pastel colors flying over the water. During Gin, the entire dome became an overhead view of a large wave pool, filled with hundreds of people on food-shaped inflatables drifting and spinning. During the Gin jam, the images of the bathers became blurred and abstract, forming a neon kaleidoscope effect. During Theme, the entire dome became an underwater seascape, with kelp forest, fish, human swimmers, and light from the surface shining down from the top. Theme also contained a DEG tease from Trey. At the start of ASIHTOS, jellyfish puppets were raised on each side of the stage, while the dome remained dark. Once the jam began, the light on the dome came up to reveal another underwater seascape, whose plants and fish became luminous as the rest of the light dimmed again. During Caspian, this seascape changed to a view from within the columns and arches of a sunken monument. As YEM began, the entire dome became the view from inside of a car as it entered a "Tunnel of Luv" car wash, with the stage appearing to sit on top of the middle of the dashboard. The car progressed through the wash as YEM continued, with Trey's solo during the wax and wheel scrub, and the bass and drums as the car was dried and exited the wash. Suddenly the car view was gone, and it appeared that the dome was clear, with a puppy licking it from the outside, in slow-motion, for the duration of the vocal jam. During Velvet Sea, the dome appeared to be covered in flowing red velvet, with photographs of the band throughout the years appearing and disappearing among the fabric. By the end of the song, the entire dome was covered in photos. Trey teased The Secret of Life (The Dead Milkmen) in Hood. This show was connected to the other three with each night's setlist tied into a state of matter. This performance's matter type was liquid.

					 Admittedly the morning after I’m still reeling from this show and need to rewatch and relisten. Relisten specifically without the aid of visuals. Because in the moment some of the jams seemed absolutely stellar.

		PHISH, FRIDAY 04/19/2024 1 week later and still trying to process what we experienced on night 2 (supplemented by re-listening post-show).

  PHish in the sPHere with PsycHedelics! Has a nice ring to it! I am glad to see that the general review consensus is that this was the magic show. 2nd set Sunday was also pretty strong I thought, but I happened to take some shrooms (Jedi Mind F*#k... peaked nicely) Friday and so was not sure how much bias that created. But I can confirm that this show was DRIPPING with psychedelic mastery! I think the only 1st set of the run that was swirling....which started at Axilla (15 minutes long!) and never stopped. That Melt with the freaking screen work!!! Just insanely psychedelic! And I was just web casting. Being there must have been a total blow away if you were tripping! Not sure how many of you have noticed, but I have been researching it and over the last few years, more often than not, the Friday show is the one to trip to. If you like your psychedelics like I do, then Phish on a Friday has a good chance of being special. It has been recently revealed to me that the Grateful Dead used to always dose on Saturdays. That was the band tripping night all through the 60s and early 70s and if you were backstage Kesey would usually get you somehow! Butch Trucks has some great stories on that. Also read the story about Robert Hunter writing the lyrics for Black Peter after Kesey had some very strong doses one Saturday! Sometimes I wonder if Friday is the Phish tripping night. I am exactly the same age as Trey (born in 64, both dragons! turning 60 this year!) and I also play improvised music with some buddies and I can confirm that it is often extra magical when we trip together on shrooms. I know that if I were the guys in Phish, I would have nights were we all take some shrooms. Just sayin. It's really fun and sometimes the vulcan mind lock is amplified for the better! This Friday show seemed like a night they might have dosed. But what I want to add, is the fact that these screens they did at the sPHere were incredible, truly incredible, when one was tripping on psychedelics!! I only did Friday, as you can only take them once over a run and still get the effects....and the 2nd set was endless brain orgasms. Just unbelievable!! So psychedelic it was crazy!! The music and the screens!! I still get feelings of bliss just thinking about it....and that was just webcasting it!!  I don't smoke, but all I could think of afterwards was that I really needed a cigarette!! I will say it again, endless brain orgasms!! From Melt onwards. Thank You Phish team for making the webcast so amazing!! Really captured it. The other reviewers hit the right spots with their comments so read them for details. Just want to point out that the Ruby Waves and the Song>Caspian were just dripping with psychedelia and really hit the spot for my tripping brain.

	 This night was clearly water but it is N1 and 3 that have me stumped. It is either flat earth vs mountains and valleys or Land in general vs the atmosphere and if so tomorrow will definitely be Outer Space or Animals again or all Gods creatures with humans included this time all songs about People but then MFMF should be on that show so I honestly can’t say exactly what N1 or 3 are because how is Tweezer about land maybe we drive on the FLAT roads but we drive in mountains too so I need Trey to tell us N1 and 3 because the Easter eggs did not give away the theme to me?
