Opening with <b>Reba<\/b> that first night, a twenty-minute <b>Walls Of The Cave<\/b> and an insane <b>A Song I Heard The Ocean Sing<\/b> and <b>Piper<\/b> to start the second set (50 minutes between those two!).  I love listening to this show, including the <b>Bowie<\/b> that ended the first set. <\/p>\n<p>The second night started off OK and ended with some crazy jams.  The second set consisted of four songs, just the type of show I love to see!  <\/p>\n<p>I have such fond memories of <b>Phish<\/b> shows and long to see them again.  It&#8217;s not happening right now, but I&#8217;ve grabbed the first two SPAC shows already and listened to most of the first.  From what I&#8217;ve heard, Mike is still on fire and the band sounds healthy and alive.  It&#8217;s not nearly the same&#8230;but it&#8217;ll have to do.  I&#8217;ll eventually burn all three shows, and may grab the Jones Beach shows as well as I&#8217;ve heard some good things.
