down with disease, beneath a sea of stars -> 2001 > light is as phenomenal a sequence as ive seen from modern era phish. it doesn't all segue together but even still, this consecutive four song progression from set two of the final night of phish in the sphere is a extraordinary display of range and patience. clocking in at nearly 80 minutes from the start of disease to the end of light, these four songs alone would make up a perfect set two of any "normal" phish show, with the rest of the set just serving as bonus. they really left it all on the stage and you can feel how much they put into it musically, but after time to reflect on being there, time to listen to the sbds and to watch the webcast, this four song sequence is musically as good as it gets for me when it comes to modern era phish. disease is a mammoth, sea of stars is a beautiful, patient, textured spacey jam, 2001 is the dance party release and light is the bliss. ive seen ~65 shows and rarely if ever write reviews but i am so grateful that phish is still capable of pushing boundaries and finding ways to evolve how they bring their music to us 40 years later.
