After a monster run in Hampton, Phish turned their sites on Nashville for a pair of dates at the Ascend Amphitheater. After tonight’s show in Nashville, Phish will be halfway through their fall tour.
Phish started getting hot just at the crisp autumn air set in at the outdoor amphitheater. A first set “Tweezer Reprise” opener got things started off the right way. “Wolfman’s Brother” is also a highlight of the first set.
The big news of the night was that the second set “Mike’s Song” opener marked the 500th time Phish has played the song. “Mike’s Song” joins YEM and “Possum” in the 500 Club. For the record, as of 10/23/2018 this is what Phish.net lists as the top ten most played Phish songs are:
You Enjoy Myself, 584
Possum, 523
Mike’s Song, 500
Weekapaug Groove, 469
Bouncing Around the Room, 465
Chalk Dust Torture, 461
Golgi Apparatus, 460
Cavern, 449
Run Like an Antelope, 448
David Bowie, 444
Phish closed out the set with “Weekapaug Groove” with an awesome “Third Stone from the Sun” jam.
