REVIEW

The Utica box set features the complete October 20, 2010 performance on 2 DVDs and 2 CDs. The box set presents three hours of crucial Phish in an intimate venue with an inspired audience that returned the energy at every turn. The nearly three hours of music on the Utica box set was recorded with 60 channels of digital multi-track and beautifully mixed and mastered, appearing on the DVD's in 5.1 Dolby surround and full-resolution, uncompressed PCM stereo. The video was shot with 8 cameras (16:9 widescreen), recorded and post-edited in High Definition. Combining a stellar performance with gorgeous improvisation and a healthy sense of adventure, Utica makes it clear that the band is back and playing for keeps.
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 tight but loose approach that was as precise as a matured band need be. More importantly is the band and the audience being there to have fun. With plenty of setlist weaving and extremely fun guyute teases, I feel this DVD release finally captures the magic of the light show and the band's approach to musi that makes them who they are.
