Phish - June 27th, 2025

This efficient single jam version begins with familiar, groovy "Mike's" probing, before a downshift steers the music into optimistic major key territory. As the music shifts back towards minor key, a repeated lick from Trey builds a subdued peak, with the closing chords for "Mike's" coming in to shut it down and > "Cities".

> from "Mike's Song", play is fluid, almost languid, great bass and drums accented by Trey's liquid tone and Page, who twice 'sprays' synth across the stage. Following a really cool line, listen for the locked-in audience (5:45) response before Trey, and the jam, takes off. What follows is Phish at its finest, post-21 refinement, perfect unrushed balance, improv that rolls, roils, and, refreshingly, doesn't build to peak but, rather, smartly draws to a close.

Shortly after 3:00 the jam enters a segment of edgy, heavily-effected play backed by synth bass which culminates with "I'm a Man" teasing before snapping back to typical closing fare.

Another major "Fuego" drops in the 2-hole of Set 2. Fish's relentless drumming combined with Trey's attack ensures this jam remains upbeat and aggressive. Stay until the end to hear the distorted take on the song's riff. > to a huge "Golden Age".

Narrowly surpasses 10/28/16 for the longest version to date, and it's a doozy. Opening with minimalist funk which becomes increasingly reliant on synths and distortions of all shapes and manner, the jam seems to be crawling to a stop around 15:00, but is then resuscitated with a half-time, super-duty march of doom, and carries that same power as it transitions triumphantly to an ecstatic hose-peak finale.
