Phish: Live in Utica 2010

Be Warned
i knew before buying this set that the cd's were not the complete show. however, i did not know, and nothing anywhere will tell you, that some songs have been shortened. Antelope is missing about 5 minutes of its ending (the best part!). it just ends mid buildup. pretty big letdown.

bottom line: you're buying this for the dvd's. the cd's are a bummer.

Great show, best captured on dvd
I remember getting Vegas, and while I enjoyed the show, odd choice for dvd release, and no attempt was made to capture the granduer of the light show. Walnut Creek boasted a display of phish aligning with weather, just didnt see the magic. Brooklyn I thought was a great "2.0" performance, but still the dark and down of phish yrs IMO. Coral Sky was neat, and good lord the Clifford Ball captured the Clifford Ball, but Live in Utica is finally a dvd that captures Phish being Phish that make the off nights ok and anything better completely mind-blowing. I feel that Alpine Valley showed a great performance that was very rehearsed, the band was out to hit the notes and play a setlist to prove that they were back and more was in store. Live in Utica seemed to show Phish getting onstage practiced yet unrehearsed, ready to have fun and give the tiny venue in the armpit of NY a special night. The 'Good Times Bad Times' was more than appropriate as the entire evening the band seemed to have a...

What more can you ask for?
It's a great show. Music aside, this is a very well shot DVD. I wish it was a little less ADD and the shots were a bit longer, but it's better than any DVD before this. The soundboard mounted cam is amazing, but I wish they used it more. Overall, one of the best if not the best shot Phish DVD. Definitely worth picking up.

(And musically it's great too)
