Do it. Priceless.

After listening to this show more closely, I can understand the varied reviews.
For those seeking balls-to-the-wall, over-the-top, '95 jamming, you won't find it here.
This show is slower-paced, introspective, sublime, and dynamic. You won't find an Antelope, but you will find Frankie Says>Albuquerque>Hood executed to perfection. If you like the low-key sound, this show is definitely for you. The band is not asleep at the wheel here, and the performance is not substandard. This is not 6/27/10 Phish reaching for the stratosphere. This is Phish in a more personal, sophistocated, intimate sound.
Trey's voice does get a bit hoarse in the middle of the first set, and stays that way. I'd like to think he was fighting a cold, being December on the East Coast and all. For those who think that the band "phoned it in" on this one, they were probably hoping for a rager with spectacular energy and abundance of everything. Instead, this show is poignant, sincere, and relatively down to earth.
Further, you can tell that the band was doing their homework. Listen to Trey's chordal work during the Stash jam. The transitions into Limb By Limb and Wedge, the old soundcheck standard that was played well-enough to be first set material, the new songs, and so on and so on.
I don't care what anyone says, this IS an excellent show. It's certainly not a noisy show, and there's no real feedback effects to speak of. The sound mix lacks a certain dynamic that serves the performance, so the show may require a little deeper attention (head phones, anyone?).
At any rate, this is definitely not a bad show, rather, it's a pretty enchanting performance with a band firing on most or all cylinders.

Fun fun show, great Hood and Train. Whoever is mixing the 2010 recordings keep doing it because it sounds very crisp. Keep it up Phish , see you at Superball!

uh, set 1 contained everything i like about Phish alone.
They came out raging, bluegrass, unexpected bustout, vocal jam wolfman's, new tune world premiere, transcendental version of an oldie (stash), brilliant poppy (for phish) song in bouncin', rift with it's benny hill show tv theme bass line and title track of their concept album, and a 3.0 bring the house down blues closer. The first set even contained what felt like an encore and contained classic phish antics with their comedic a cappela. Taboot this was an unexpected debut from their 'party time' b-sides cd which still has five songs yet to be performed live by any phish project, to the best of my Phishy knowledge, ("in a Misty Glade", "If I Told You", "Splinters of Hail", "Can't Come Back" & "Shrine") That's 5/13 tracks, not performed, though truthfully only "If I Told You" and "Can't Come Back" have potential to expand. I guess I should say obvious potential, because with Phish you just never know. Which is the point of this post and why this show was so great.
And that's just the first set...At very least in the second set from about the last 3 minutes of limb x limb until the end of Harry are Phish moments I would take in any era, though only possible in 3.0. I can't even describe the emotional weight of the frankie->albuquerque combo and the hood, wooh!
Thank YOu Phish, Just, Thanks, You always surprise and give more to your fans than just about any band on this planet.

I agree w meh. Felt really flat these two nights. Phoned in. Def good spots as always but was just a warmup for (a brilliant) msg run.

This could be one of the funniest things I have seen in many o' posts. Good luck finding the girl of your young pubescent dreams.
