Listen to Phish’s Monster Finale in Mexico – 2/23/2019 AUD

Phish finished up their three night run in Riviera Maya, Mexico this past Saturday. With these being the only three Phish dates between last year’s NYE run at MSG and their 2019 summer tour, Phish made these shows count.

While the third night didn’t have the huge bust-outs that night one did, it had one hell of a setlist.

Night two kicked off with a rare opener and night three did as well—”The Curtain With.” The first real jam of the set came with “Blaze On > Destiny Unbound.” Trey treated Mexico to a beautiful “Divided Sky” that strikes me as the perfect song for an evening on the beach.

The second set is when things really started to heat up. Highlights include “Mike’s Song > Weekapaug Groove” and then the massive “Fuego > Tweezer > Carini > Ghost” block that lead way to the new and improved way to close a show—”Say it to me S.A.N.T.O.S.”

Phans expecting a pair of songs for the encore were overjoyed to discover the party wasn’t ending anytime soon. Trey and the boys reared a 6-song encore to cap off an epic weekend.

Set 1:
01 Intro
02 The Curtain With > 
03 Punch You in the Eye >

Listen to Phish’s Epic Alpharetta Run Finale – 8/5/2018 Full Show AUD

Phish put the finishing touches on an absolutely monster run in Alpharetta this past Sunday. East coast Phish is proving to be quite tasty!

The P-fish had a lot of work ahead of them on Sunday to out-do their two previous nights in Alpharetta, but they were more than up to the task. Set one highlights include “Most Events Aren’t Planned,” an awesome “Reba” and a set closing “Sand.”

Set two bursted out of the gates with a great “Taste” before heading into a mega “Golden Age” jam. Check out the second set closing “Bathtub Gin” that included “You Sexy Thing” and Tweezer Reprise” reprises.

Trey and the boys had enough time to squeeze a couple of the songs into the encore including “Fee” and a rocking “2001” jam.

Tweezer Reprise
What’s The Use?
Petrichor

Listen to Phish Bust Out Hendrix, YEM & More in Epic Baker’s Dozen Finale – 8/6/2017 Full Show AUD

Phish’s epic 13-show run at Madison Square Garden came to an end last night, but not before some fanfare. In part PR move, part genuine gesture, NYC declared yesterday officially Phish day in NYC. The impact that the Baker’s Dozen isn’t only felt by Phish fans, but all of NYC in a small way. Phans far and wide made their way to MSG for all or part of this magical run and brought their kindness, energy and passion with them.

Night 13 was glazed donut night. Phish mixed things up again for their final night and started the night off with an original tune, “Dogs Stole Things.” There were plenty of tunes Phish managed to wedge into the first set, but there were a couple of notable jams. Check out “Camel Walk” and the absolutely bonkers Jimi Hendrix cover of “Izabella” to end the first set. The Hendrix gem was the bust-out of the evening and hadn’t been performed since 1998-07-31 (574 shows.)

The second set kicked-off with another monster “Simple” jam, similar to what we saw back in Chicago earlier in the summer. After segueing into Trey’s new song, “Come Together,” Phish covered Bowie for second time this summer and treated MSG to “Starman.” Then came the jam of the evening, and easily one of the best of the Baker’s Dozen run—”You Enjoy Myself.” As FZappa20 said in his recap, the “You Enjoy Myself” jam from last night let you know that “I’m still the king of this shit.” YEM got the trampoline treatment from Trey and Mike and was followed by a face-melting jam.

For the encore, Phish still had a couple tricks up it’s sleeve. The opening encore tune was the Willie Nelson tune, “On the Road Again.” The lyric “The life I love is making music with my friends” was evident throughout the entire Baker’s Dozen run and a fitting way to end the 13th show. Just for laughs more than anything else, Phish brought back the never ending “Lawn Boy” from earlier in the Baker’s Dozen run and put an exclamation point on the run with “Tweezer Reprise.”

Thank you to phish for the amazing run at MSG and thank you to the tapers for getting these historic shows out to the fans ASAP! Less than a month until Dick’s!

SET 1: Dogs Stole Things, Rift, Ha Ha Ha, Camel Walk, Crazy Sometimes > Saw It Again > Sanity > Bouncing Around the Room, Most Events Aren’t Planned[1], Bug, I Been Around, Izabella

SET 2: Simple > Come Together > Starman, You Enjoy Myself, Loving Cup

ENCORE: On the Road Again > Lawn Boy Reprise > Tweezer Reprise

Thanks again to Chris King on the quick turn around on the recording.
