This is not a very good show, but it still beats just about any other live act that was around in 2004. By this time Trey had pretty much stopped listening to the other three members of the band and arrogantly wanked off on solos that stretched for far too long while the other guys awkwardly kept the rhythm going. Any fan of Phish knows that the essence of their beautiful, transcendant jams was based on their ability to listen to each other, "connect" with each other, and build stunning new creations in unison.
Many of the songs in this show rock, for sure. But it's not just about the buzz, the party, and the shredding. What made Phish special was their unique ability to jam as one. By 2004 it was mostly Trey tearing the crap out of his guitar and using the rest of the band as a backing unit. What's worse is that the band had obviously gotten lazy and cut way back on rehearsing, and it shows, as many of the more intricate tunes are flat-out butchered. Still, it's Phish, it's pretty good, and probably worth the money, depending on how diehard you are.

Live in Brooklyn was filmed on June 17, 2004 at Keyspan Park at Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY. It marked the start of what would be the final Phish tour and was the first date after the emotional news of their breakup was announced. The show was simultaneously broadcast to movie theaters nationwide-arguably the most successful live theatrical broadcast to date, with legions of loyal Phish fans reportedly dancing in the aisles across the country. Included on this DVD are the two complete sets the band performed that day along with sound check footage and three full peformances from the second Brooklyn date. Phish were a cultural phenomenon-touring and recording for 21 years with a remarkably dedicated following who cintniue to celebrate everything Phish.
