Slave just kills me every time. So incredibly beautiful. If I had to pick my favourite Phish song, this would be it.

Jon Fishman is still such a Musician's Musician. This is such a clean cut recording too, you can hear it his intentions so clearly. His dynamic control is outlandishly subtle. The way he leads from behind is second-to-none. They're going to tighten it up a bit and this tour is going to be historic. Beautiful!

[@honuman39]

The difference between a good band and a great band is the drummer

Jon is the best

Aye Henrietta!

[@allennelson2069]

[@lancecorwin7237]

This was the first Phish song I ever heard many, many years ago.

[@allenarmstrong8615]

I heard it at my first show along with Fluffhead

[@GKIND89]

They play so very beautifully

[@alphaman03]

Y'all are way too harsh. First show in a year and a half. First show of the tour, and these guys are in their later 50s. They're obviously not gonna be at their best--this Slave wasn't great, but the Wolfmans, DwD, Simple, and most of the 2nd set were really good. For a tour opener, this show exceeded my expectations.

[@SnowTheJamMan]

What do you expect from Phish fans, always complaining

[@ezekielbrockmann114]

@@SnowTheJamMan It is noice to have something new to complain about again, gotta be honest.

[@BlacqueJacqueShellacque_]

Show was really hyped up. Seems reasonable to be disappointed, but when you think about it the performance was probably what should have been expected. I was just happy to be seeing Phish again. Hopefully by the Gorge (my next show) they will be back to 100%.

[@brianlloyd2478]

I can't wait for 3 days in AC. Just getting out and enjoying music should be enjoyable to people. I've seen bad shows. Does it suck, yes it does. But if I was to say I was on top of my game every day at work I'd be a liar haha.

[@barclaydonaldson8863]

The white album , by phish, with letter 2 jimmy page, slave and many others...is amazing....such amazing imagination back in the day...

[@TheHSIHP]

Trey's tone is cool.

[@JoeBoomerMusic]

So much space in this version you could park a jet in this song. What a refreshing take.

[@thefumexxl]

Agreed. I loved it. Super vibey.

What a great show as a tour opener. Thanks for playing Arkansas!

[@charleslove8173]

Those notes the subtle hesitations there will never be anybody that can do it better.... The universe may bless us with someone in the future who can do it as well but it will never be topped I thank the universe for this band...

[@JRCohen]

For f$cks sake. It's just so tight. Can't help grinning from ear to ear. It's so good. Almost as if they are challenging themselves who can be more precise. Oh man I miss seeing them play live. Outstanding work y'all.

[@JamesConley1234]

You know it's about to get real when Page starts hovering over the keyboard like that! The little weird laughs were definitely strange Love you guys so much, keep that heat coming!! Texas will be waiting as patiently as possible for next tour

I was there, and the show was absolutely amazing. I mean amazing!!

[@wolfpac1970]

I really wish Phish would release some shows on bluray or 4K UHD.

[@JamesConley1234]

For real man. Before a hurricane hit us down here I had Coral Sky, the crazy Clifford Ball collection, Live in Brooklyn, and many more. Wonder why they stopped putting out releases like that. They could even just make HD video download purchases of the shows that they stream on LivePhish and I would go buy some of the shows I've been to in a heartbeat (and others).

[@jimlanpheer5281]

You can literally watch EVERY show on this tour in 4K if you want to!

Okay but I would like to recognize how well whoever was running the lights did, they go with the music perfectly

[@tylerao]

Whoever? Hahahaha CK5 is the goat

[@seescojo844]

Effortless and fluid chops here, from Jon Fishman! Alike all these songs, listeners can immediately tell it’s Fishman playing within just a few bars of a song, which is a true mark of a musician/artist whose style, individuality has matured deeply thru the years into a recognizable “signature” all their own.

[@petes2feet]

Let's go boys! Grunt grunt!

[@AJ_Deadshow]

Man I like the analog noise on the intro card. Didn't think I'd see that again in a modern production!

[@rcnhsuailsnyfiue2]

Am I the only one who kinda weirdly enjoyed the ambient grunting? I’m sure I’d get fed up with it if it was at every show, but as a one-off creative oddity, it certainly made me listen!

[@WardenJune]

Yes you are the only one.

I need to know what Trey's new amp is. That sustain is unreal!

I think he’s using Komet Amps nowadays. He used a Marshall head a few years back. As they say, tone is all in the hands.

[@stevensiwinski8049]

@@DizzyLicks000 I see a new nameless amp in the center, It kinda looks like a Marshall given the colors, but it looks to be something custom. Could be that he's got the Komet Amps behind the cabinets though. Definitely intrigued!

[@bohnnco]

He’s not using the komets. He’s never had a Marshall head that I know of. Mostly a Boogie mark I head early, deluxe reverbs, i think very briefly a bogner shiva, the komets and now an unknown amp.

[@stevensiwinski8049]

@@bohnnco I did a little looking and all I could find was that it's from a Boutique amp building shop in NYC. Currently referred to as the "Special Guest Amps"
