Initial Thoughts Jones Beach 6/4

First Set...unbelievable.

Divided Sky might be the most impressive piece of music I've heard since they came back. Legendary.

Good Ghost, but i still pine for the space funk of the late '90s. A little too much fuzz on these 2.o/3.0 versions.

Second set...TBD.

Drowned->Meatstick was really fun. YEM was...well, YEM.

I guess i have to say something about Time Turns Elastic. Some parts i absolutely loved and thought brought great energy. Other parts really made me wonder if its a set killer. I think in the future placement will be key. It's an opener or an encore. It definitely sucked the wind out of the second set and though Waste was better than it was in Hampton (but not as sentimental), by time you got to YEM, it seemed as though they were reaching for a life vest.

Wurtz and i were discussing this on the way home since i was a little surprised at the repeats of Ocelot, TTE and YEM after just one show, but i guess this is Phish's way of telling us that there will be plenty of shows and they don't need to play their entire catalogue before repeating any songs.

So my advice is to savor the bust outs, because you never know when you'll see it again and don't fret the quick repeat. If Trey is happy to be playing YEM every day for the rest of his life, then I'm ready to listen.
