#Phish Spring 2023 #RANKED

Tier 1: <null>
Tier 2: SEA2
Tier 3: SEA1

- Elite first set led by a sublime Wolfman’s -> Izabella, jammy Chalkdust, and one of the best Rebas since IT
- Nothing as deep as N1’s Wave of Hope or Golden Age, but the Ruby Waves, Piper, and the exceptional Tube all got places quickly
- Despite all this, S2 was a rollercoaster of ups and downs
- There is something to be said for squeezing in 5 classic 1.0 ballads/bathroom songs (pending your point of view) after setbreak

I was going to put up some dumb message about rankings being delayed because I won’t have a chance to give a full listen for a bit.

But why fight the inevitable? The only question around last night is where it falls in terms of all-time great shows in the history of the band

Incredible that they did this in year 40.

Also, just when you think Phish might finally be warming up to Seattle again… 😜

- Brilliant first set highlight (Gin), surprising jam (555), some fantastic improv in the first half of the second set, questionable setlist calls, and the fourth quarter fell apart hard.
- The above sounds all too familiar in 4.0. Still, the improv was outstanding in the first half of S2 despite the places it came from.
– Could really put the last 3 shows in any order. This is mine…for now.
