Listen to Phish’s Stellar “Strawberry” Baker’s Dozen Show at MSG – 7/22/2017 Full Show AUD

Phish completed their first weekend of the Baker’s Dozen run at MSG and are taking a day of before continuing on Tuesday. The first show was a coconut theme and Saturday’s was strawberry. Phish has announced what kind of donut they will be giving out ahead of the show and the message boards light up with predictions. For the Saturday Strawberry opener, Phish came out and did a great a cappella version of The Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields Forever.”

In the number two slot, Phish played a swingin’ “Halley’s Comet” that got the crowd up on their feet and dancing. The third song and one of the best jams of night, “The Moma Dance” kept everyone up on their feet for the rest of the show. The 17+ minute jam is the kind of thing you would expect to hear in the second set and catapulted the first set into one of the best opening sets of the summer. “Funky Bitch,” “Foam,” “Roggae” and “Squirming Coil” were all highlights of the first set. As Coil came to a close, Mike, Trey and Jon left the stage and all eyes were on Page for a breathtaking keyboard solo to cap an incredible first set.

Phish bursted out of the gate in the second set with a powerful “Down with Disease.” The strawberry theme continued with the debut of “Strawberry Letter 23.” Trey hopped behind the drums on the Marimba Lumina during an awesome jam on “I Always Wanted It This Way.” Phan favorite “Split Open and Melt” kept the second set raging and then Phish busted out the ever elusive “Down with Disease” second jam of the set. I was sitting in the third row behind the band and had an amazing view of the entire floor and stadium. I can testify that the entire crowd went bananas for the second DwD.

After a short by rocking encore that included one of my favorite tunes, “Cities,” Phish bid MSG farewell and closed the book on the second Baker’s Dozen show.

Listen to Phish Kick Off Summer Tour with Debuts in Chicago-7/14/2017 Full Show AUD

It’s been six long months since Phish has hit the stage. Trey treated us to some solo acoustic shows this spring and then TAB hit the road for a pretty extensive tour, but last night we got the real deal—the P-fish kicked off their three-night Chicago run at Northerly Island.

Despite practicing for the last few days up the road in Milwaukee, Trey and the boys were still a bit rusty and delivered a solid, but not exceptional tour opener. What was interesting about the show were the four debuts—two covers and two originals distributed between the two sets and encore.

Despite the cobwebs, the show had some highlights including “Wolfman’s Brother,” the “Everything’s Right” Phish debut and the “Harry Hood” with a reprise of the show opener “What’s The Use?”

Looking forward to the rest of the summer tour and the Baker’s Dozen at MSG!

Listen to Trey Anastasio’s Magical Acoustic Run Finale in Portsmouth – 3/11/2017 Full Show AUD

Trey Anastasio kicked off a three stop acoustic run earlier in the week in Northampton and last night ended it in Portsmouth, NH. The three shows are were in small, North East towns that may look like blips on the map to the rest of America, but were important to Phish’s growth and evolution.

As all three shows have been, last night’s performance was magical. It turns out that hearing Trey telling stories and performing Phish songs acoustically is one hell of a way to spend a Saturday evening.

Trey stuck to Phish and solo material for the most part except for a beautiful version of Paul Simon’s American Tune.

These three shows have been great for Phish fans who only have another 13 dates on the calendar to look forward to in 2017. The next time we’ll see Trey is at the Capitol for a pair of sold out shows with Trey Anastasio Band in April.

Phish continued their fall tour with the first of two shows in Grand Prairie, Tx last night. Livestreams to the show were tough to come by, and it’s a shame, because last night was another blazing show from Phish.

After a jam-packed first set that included a super funky Wolfman’s, the boys turned the jam machine on for the second set. While it wasn’t the extended jam-fest that we have seen in the last few shows, some of the highlights include “Maze,” “I Always Wanted It This Way” and “Bug.”

Instant Classic: Watch Bob Weir Sit-In with Phish for “West LA Fadeaway,” “Playing in the Band,” “Twist” and More – Video and Full Audio

When Bob Weir’s Camp Fire tour and Phish’s fall tour were announced, people started to speculate immediately about the overlapping Nashville dates. By late afternoon, leaks of Bob Weir soundchecking “Walking Blues” with Phish spread across Facebook and Reddit.

Phish’s first set on paper looks phenomenal, and it really is good. The boys were light on the jamming, because I think they were all excited for the second set treat they were about to serve Nashville.

After a few songs in the second set, Phish welcomed Bobby out for not just one or two songs, but SIX SONGS! Bob Fucking Weir!

They started out by debuting the Dead classic “Samson and Delilah” and then launched into a muddy, jammy 12+ minute “Twist.” The surprise of the sit-in came next with “Miss You,” a song off Phish’s new album Big Boat. The surprise was Bobby was singing! Don’t worry, he flubbed a lot of the verses.

Phish and Bobby went back into the Dead material and busted out “West LA Fadeaway” (383 show gap) and debuted “Playing In the Band” before the “Quinn the Eskimo” encore.

Wow.
