3 stars This show has a gritty and pseudo-sloppy feel. Everything is infected and penetrated by the summer heat. That is not necessarily a bad thing. The melting of the tracks together with the Giant Country Horns might not appeal to every phan, nor to every (possibly many) outsiders. No matter - there is still plenty of energetic and sincere shredding to be found within!

THe band was feeling particularly jazzy on this summers eve, whipping through standards like Flat Fee, Donna Lee and ultra-rarity Moose the Mooch. These tracks are all enhanced by trhe horn section - it fits perfectly with the band's tight and sleek sound.

Apart from the horns, the band tears the lid off a swirling Mike's Groove, and the Weekapaug has its lightning as well. The Reba in the first set is also good, considering the relative newcomer status it held in the setlist rotation when it was recorded here. Well done, indeed.

All in all , not an ESSENTIAL show, but certainly a nice, craggly little emerald to add to any collector's mind-melting library.

4 stars Chronologically, this is their second live album, their first being Live Phish 07. This is a better show than the former, mainly because they had a horn section for this show. This concert was recorded after they had released Lawn Boy, so you'll hear mostly songs from that album and Junta as well as several never heard before gems. Donna Lee, in particular, shines here. You'll also here Phish cover The Doors' "Touch Me" and Edgar Winter Group's "Frankenstein". Phans of early Phish should definitely pick this one up.
