Chicago was a sweet show. Great start with the atmosphere--everyone in the stands bum-rushed the GA floor as soon as Kill Devil Falls began and the helpless security guards were up in arms. The Curtain With was no doubt the first set highlight, and Gumbo was a treat (I\'m pretty sure twas a first time for me). Overall a decent opening set, TCW the heavy hitter, with KDF and Ocelot growing on me more with each listen.
Second set started out on a semi-bummer note with Backwards, but from Carini on it was a partay. I always hated Gotta Jibboo on Farmhouse, and loved it live, this occurrence solidifying that sentiment. First Theme From The Bottom live--awesome fucking tune on BB and great being able to belt out "So I ask you whhhhyyyyy" with an excited bunch amidst the silky bass grooves. The rest of the set plus encore was just vintage Phish, only downer being a mediocre Hood jam, but nothing that ruined the feeling.
SquirMEHing Coil?! Get your head out of your stankhole guy! I hope they play Undermind first set, Joy second for you dsNumbnuts. Don\'t forget the mediocre Fluffhead costume to improve your sub-par attitude....
