The band took the stage while pre-recorded music similar to Plasma played, before beginning the song. During Ghost, the neon-colored outlines of three giant robots appeared to tower over the band, with their facial expressions varying and their arms and bodies swaying slowly. The three robots were then replaced by one massive robot, with spotlights utilized to make it appear as if beams of light were coming from the robot's eyes, before the original three robots returned for the remainder of the jam. During Divided Sky, the dome became a view of a sea of clouds, with patches of blue sky above. As the clouds moved, their appearance varied from purple sunset hues to dark and stormy, with the movement stopping and all of the color fading during the pause before returning for the rest of the song. Page teased Linus and Lucy at the end of Divided Sky. Trey began Shade on acoustic guitar. During Shade, an eclipsed star was shown behind the band, with its corona of changing colors visible and a silhouette of the band in the center. During Sea of Stars, the dome became filled with a curtain of gold-colored four-point stars, which twinkled and waved in front of roiling clouds. During 2001, the dome became a starfield before being illuminated by replicated images of the stage lights. Mike teased Plasma during Light. During Ether Edge, a string of umbrellas with colored drops trailing beneath were raised to either side of the stage. The umbrellas were lowered again during Piper. During First Tube, the dome again became a starfield, this time with a ring of stars centered above the stage slowly swirling. As the second "verse" of First Tube began, a white vortex appeared in this area. As the stars in its orbit began to become multicolored, the vortex pulled in their light and created flowing, rainbow-hued ribbons that grew as the jam progressed. Prior to More, Trey thanked the production team behind the Sphere shows, and said that he thinks the band will return to the venue. After Slave, the band gathered at the front of the stage to take bows and have a picture taken in front of the crowd. This show was connected to the other three with each night's setlist tied into a state of matter. This performance's matter type was plasma.

Review by yam_ekaj

yam_ekaj Amazing show. Second set contained some truly awe-inspiring jamming. The Disease is an instant-classic, all-time version and is some of the best jamming ive seen. and then after a swelling, mellow beneath a sea of stars, the boys deliver a 20-min bliss-rager Light. like being up 4 runs and hitting a 3-run bomb for good measure.

the visuals were great (especially during Ghost), but tonight i was once again struck by the fact that phish is still delivering elite jams 4 decades in to their career. it woulda been easy for them to let the visual spectacle of the sphere do the talking this run, but instead they pushed jams at nearly every opportunity and played multiple jam-chart-worthy versions, capped by last night’s monumental DWD.

lofus99 I didn't totally love this 1st set. Ghost and Stranger were the best parts...But this 2nd set!! Really strong I thought. Oblivion is a killer tune to my ears and combined with a truly epic Disease after....Gold!! I know Sea of Stars gets some negative vibes, but I thought this one was amazing. Just a beautiful improv on it. 2001 was a good party and the Light was also a very killer jammed out version! and I was not tripping and still thought the screens were insane again!! Disease and Light screens were trippy AF! Would have been awesome if you were tripping for this 2nd set in the sPHere!
PHish in the sPHere on PsycHedelics!!! My new slogan. Gonna buy the videos (if we can) and play them for acid tests.
