A typical night, rotation-wise - 1 song shelved 50+ shows.
Gap = shows since the song was last played, at the moment it was played.
This show-opener allows the band to stretch their jamming legs with a version that fluidly transitions beyond typical "Simple" and finds a spunky, synth-backed groove over which Trey riffs thematically before a final turn towards bliss and then -> "Sanity".
The band basks in the setting of playing on the beach by providing an apt soundtrack. The jam is calm and chill for a while, until it builds and builds into a mini-peak of energy highlighted by some sparkling play from Page on the piano. Trey then finds his way back home to the song proper for the coda.
A fairly rocking "Gin" splits around 9:00 for some densely-textured, high-quality "Type II" exploration with synths at the forefront and a stormy, probing sense, and then subtly brightens and takes on a more hopeful tone down the homestretch.
Versions phish.net's jam charts single out as noteworthy.
Chalk Dust Torture Reprise was performed for the first time since December 28, 2019 (142 shows). Mike teased Sundown in Bathtub Gin.
