DVD Reviews of Phish - Live in Brooklyn
DVD Review: Best Live DVD...so far!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the Phish of the next millenium. Die-hards can bitch about how they went downhill post-hiatus, or post '97 or whatever, but these guys were still tremendously awesome right up to Coventry (warts and all.) There are some obvious flubs in the choreographed portions, but the improv and jamming is still top notch. And what I like most about the later years, is Phish got so much funkier. The camerawork is great in this show. My only beef would be that they don't pan back often enough and let us enjoy Kuroda's amazing art. Closeups of each band member are great, but when the lights are really off the hook on stuff like 2001, I could personally take a 5 minute break to watch the light show.
This is definitely better than the Vegas DVD. I won't compare to IT or Bittersweet as they are different animals all together.
My rundown:
Song/Ocean- cool but not outstanding
Dinner/Movie- good but sloppy
Curtain With- yawn, not one of my favorite tunes
Sample- set starts getting interesting (my fav singalong tune)
Moma/Free- AMAZINGLY FUNKY
Nothing- has some cool moments, woulda liked to have seen this song evolve in future shows
Maze- rip-roaring, very good version, high energy as always
Frankenstein- good solid set closer.
Set 2:
46 Days->Possum (amazing, both songs)
Oh Kee Pah->Suzy- probably my favorite portion of the show. Excellent Suzy, very experimental
Axilla I- good version, lotsa energy, not one of my favorite tunes
2001- good funk, short version
Birds- great jam not on the level of IT but still a very tasty version.
Kung- phish silliness
Mikes Song- ok, but I'm not crazy about the new ending/transition.
Hydrogen- pretty straight forward
Weekapaugh- great fast paced closer. High energy. What's up with the lame fans never getting the glow stick war going? Musta been all the Yankee fans in the audience...go Sox. Seriously though, a GREAT Weekapaugh Groove. Excellent way to end a set.
Divided Sky- probably my fav tune by Phish, but not a particularly great version.
All in all, a great DVD. I'd agree with the previous reviewer that the best parts are the unscripted jams (which is really the main thing that I love about Phish). How you feel about this DVD will mainly depend on which songs you love and which elements of the band you love. It still proves yet again that this was the best live rock band ever. Even mediocre shows are an extraordinary experience unlike any other band. Happy trails to Phish...until we meet again.
