Phish - August 31st, 2024

While the band may not cover a lot of new ground, they certainly traverse a lot of interesting territory. The song's signature line (which many have already likened to "Sand") runs, at least for some time, "like" Sand. Moody, atmospheric play does break for airier sounds, with Trey splashing through sonic soil, the version becoming an airier affair. Page pounces, and the second "half" of the jam is marked by great full-band play before a return to song, proper, to close.

Builds in a straight line from "Gin's" typically bouncy outro into a more funkish and rhythmically based section before barreling to a rocking conclusion.

> from the second set-opening "Loving Cup". Another fantastic version of "KDF". Things slow way down after the song ends, seemingly only so it can slowly build back up. Great play throughout keeps building and building to a blistering peak. After, things slow down as the band figures out how to -> into a huge "What's Going Through Your Mind".

Question isn't when, but if "WGTYM?" won't jam. Seems improbable, given Trey's line from the vocal section is, like a drug, seemingly designed to bring the band back for more. Impressive, extended, synth-heavy improv runs to break for a very notable -> into "Crosseyed."

> from "What's Going Through Your Mind". Fish's aggressive, driving play ensures this "Crosseyed" never lacks in tempo or energy. A fireball version popping up late-ish in the second set.
