With the first leg of the summer tour behind us, I decided to take a moment and compile some of my favorite moments.
Phish came out firing on all cylinders, kicking the tour off in famed Fenway Park. Following the road south Phish found themselves headliners at the Bonnaroo Music Festival, where they invited Bruce Springsteen on stage for a rendition of “Mustang Sally,” “Bobby Jean,” and “Glory Days.”
The band continued north stopping in St. Louis, Deer Creek, and wrapped things up at Alpine Valley.
My personal highlights:
Best show of the tour: 6/19 - Verizon Wireless Music Center (Deer Creek) Honorable Mention: 6/7 - Camden
Best Jam of the Tour: 6/7 – Sand – Camden
Best New Song: Kill Devil Falls – Honorable Mention: Ocelot, Backwards Down the Number Line
Biggest “Bust-out”: The Ballad of Curtis Loew (last played 8/3/93)
Best Encore: 6/18 - Grind, Hello My Baby, Hold Your Head Up > Bike > Hold Your Head Up, Loving Cup
Leg two couldn’t get here soon enough!!
Enjoy the music.
