8/15/2009 Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia, MD

my first phish show ever. because of that, it will always be memorable. as for the performance quality...considering i was on the lawn, it didn't sound as great as im sure it did to viewers from inside the pavilion...but still a great show as far as im concerned. tweezer was nice and funky, esther was a cool rarity to witness at my first show , and axilla (the song that got me into phish) was a very pleasant surprise. all in all a decent show but it really cant compare to fri and sun performances. my only beef is the abundance of new material. should have had more of the greats and less stuff from joy (which isnt a bad album, but this is your first tour since 04...give the crowd what they want!)

I LOVE THIS SHOW. First times for me: The Sloth, Esther, Ha Ha Ha, Party Time, Alaska (with Phish), and Oh! Sweet Nuthin'.

Oh! Sweet Nuthin' was a real treat as well as Esther. Was chasing Esther for a real long time. This version was very peaceful.

Oh! Sweet Nuthin' was played for the THIRD time ever. Such a beautiful tune. Very memorable moment right after that 46 days jam. Perfect placement. 46 Days>Oh! Sweet Nuthin'!=25 minutes of bliss for me

Also, the ending of hood was raging.

Very fun, loose, first set.

Hey- why does everyone have to put down other reviewers? Ok so the jury is still out on this show- which only tells me one thing. 1) This show might not have been that great after-all.

If you have 100 saying is was better than anything(including sex) and 100 saying it sucked, it probably was somewhere in between the two. Now being someone that went to this show, all i can say is that it was terrible from the lawn. If I had been first row, I would have been able to hear and enjoy the show, but would have still been let down by the selections and energy the band brought on this particular Saturday night. Its just not fair to say it was a great show, especially with the sick Fri and Sun night performances. (period)

wow, so many different review for this one. I went to 6 shows this summer, Camden, Burgettstown, 2 at Alpine, Noblesville, & this one. This show cleary lacked the enthusiasm and spirit of some of the other shows I saw this summer. Songs I heard at other shows, Kill Devil, Tweezer, Time Turns Elastic, etc had no spirit and could not compare to the versions I saw at other veues this summer. Songs that could have saved this show, especially Foam, were lackluster & played with minimal emotion. So to all who think this was a great show, spend less time in the parking lot. All in all not a bad summer, 3 "A" shows, 1 "B" show, 1 "C" show, and one that failed to entertain (this one). Keep up the good work Phish, & thanks for a great summer. See you in the fall / winter.

This was A sick show. My first in 5 years since the 04 sweet Virginia show. I remember my first show, not knowing all the songs, but damn I was hooked. I left this show feeling like it was my first time all over again. A great show for me lots of first time live versions of stuff that I had never seen, the boys are on fire and if you cant appreciate that than maybe you should go see someone else so I can actually get a ticket to a show. Thanks phish for bringin it back and making us all feel a little younger. CANT WAIT PHOR CALI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great show. Caught 'em last time at Merriweather (my first show) in 2000. Both great shows. Great tour; both legs. Can't believe they're honestly back for the first time in 9 years (with a few exceptions).
