Nice to see Trey really enjoying himself.

Would love to see a few of those songs pop up this summer. West LA with Page singing. Bertha for sure.

I'm at a disadvantage not having heard thousands of shows to compare it to.
But I've heard that, too, and can believe it. There were some logistical difficulties involved in playing by the pyramids (little things like amp components melting in the inferno-like climate, which it seems their roadies and audio tech support hadn't sufficiently accounted for). It definitely wouldn't be a go to show for me to listen to. I enjoyed watching it more for the ambiance and historical nature.
* I like this era a lot, SBD of the 5/8/77 show, Barton Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY

From the great Winterland '73 shows.

Trey's preparation (wood shedding) has come up, he reportedly hired a Broadway arranger to orchestrate something like 100 songs in the repertoire.
Though not having followed Phish, Trey seems like he is very invested in carrying his weight, and doing well by Jerry and the band, but also appears relaxed (guess the prep must help on that score) and not burdened by external pressure due to the historical importance, and in fact has risen to the occasion, especially in Chicago after the initial tentative feeling out period last weekend in Santa Clara, his playing has been especially clutch (like Hondo for the Celtics) the past two nights, under the circumstances. And it's not like it's his first rodeo (he may have even done some "Last Shows" for his band previously?).
Can't wait to see/hear what kind of sonic miracles are going to be conjured up for the terminus* of the proverbial and literal long and strange trip - the culmination of a half century American Dream, psychedelic style.
* I agree this may not be the LAST last shows (in some way, shape or form). When watching the Grateful Dead Movie** again, the bonus disc menu had a photo of a ticket to the pre-"retirement" '74 shows documented there, billed "LAST SHOW", I think? As has been said, it ain't over until the Fat Lady sings (and hopefully that isn't Donna
).** My favorite part of the intro animation is around the 4:20 mark when Down the Line gets the volume turned up on the radio, with the accompanying Escher-like images and visuals, and especially when the channel changes at the 5:00 mark, with the rose blooming in a field of shifting geometric patterns to strains of The Wheel (they had so many different kinds of sounds [[beautiful, ominous, wistful, hopeful, reflective, joyous, etc., etc., etc.]] and the intro sequence soundtrack edited by Garcia was emblematic of the encompassing diversity, versatility and range by which they captured so much of the human experience in their music).

*** Bravo and cheers to Trey. It was and is a collective sound and style, but obviously Jerry was the Dark Star and his was the musical space and gravitational field the other celestial bodies orbited around and within sonically, so of course Trey needed to fill that rift in the space-time continuum. He inherited that daunting, awesome responsibility, and had some Grand Canyon-sized footprints that trod before him, and has done his best to fill them with the grace and lightness of Fred Astaire.

Got super wasted with my bro last night watching the stream. We are vacationing with my folks up in Maine for a week to celebrate my dad's birthday.
Smoked a bunch of good pot I brought from Minny. Can't find the weed now. Floating around the house some where. Trying to find before my folks do.
Feel like I am in high school again. especially cause my bro was my touring buddy for a few years. saw like 50 shows with him back in the day.

My friend at Soldier field just texted that everyone around him thought that the band is all effed up. Said something is seriously up with the music, in a good way.
just thought that was funny and would pass along.
****effed up as in everyone has taken something or hit something........not saying its true but jsut the vibe of the show

The cue I was referring to in estimated was the landing of the guitar rave up back into the if the game is lost line. His body language always told the band one thing and he'd do the other. Vintage bobby. Still funny.

Raise your hand if you're bummed that bobby isn't wearing his high cut jean shorts. Woulda been pretty epic if he pulled those out.

I actually prefer this music without a visual.

weir's lysdexia is manifesting itself all over these shows and there is a lot of good cheer all around about it. i love it. phil has laughed out loud countless times. his sense of timing for cues is more off than ever and its ####### beautiful.
