Phish: 06/16/2009 While My Guitar Gently Weeps [VQ: B-, AQ: B+]
Reviews: 06/16/2009 / Fox Theatre / Phish [JamBase]
While the show was not “bad” by any stretch of the imagination, I’d still rank it at the bottom of the tour thus far. Some sloppy playing at times and sky-high expectations made this night tough to live up to the hype. However, some bust outs and a MAJESTIC theatre made this an unforgettable Phish experience nonetheless for the lucky few inside. And that’s worth the ticket price alone.
Fox Theatre: Show Review + Setlist [Riverfront Times]
It took about three hours for Phish‘s show last night at the Fabulous Fox Theatre to reach transcendence. This occurred at the precise moment the quartet started its triptych of songs known as Mike’s Groove — i.e., “Mike’s Song,” “I Am Hydrogen” and “Weekapaug Groove.”
