I wrote about Phish playing Fenway last night, and bits about summer tour and their career arc in general.

This was an excellent Phish tour even before MSG, which turned it into something else altogether. There’s so much to revisit from the tour, but the parts I think I’ll revisit most are 7/14 Melt (Savannah) 7/19 Carini (Merriweather) 7/31 WGTYM through Wave of Hope (Fenway)
First MTG since the most famous MTG was this song, not a wackjob in Congress
Melt the Guns
I still think of Kill Devil Falls as one of the new songs, yet it is older now than *any* song was at the end of 1.0.
This is already the best show they’ve played at Fenway
@guyforget.bengreenfield.com what if the ‘96 show ends up being the best show
One of the best things about LivePhish With is you can rewatch the Harpua narration at setbreak
Appreciate the Riverport Gin anniversary reference. These fing nerds.
The last year with 2 Col. Forbin’ses: 1996. (2011 had 3.)
My first show was in 1996, and yet there is only one Phish original that they played at that show that hasn’t already been played at this MSG run. Oops.
I wrote about the Nolan Odyssey for the LRB. I'll summarize some of my main points below, in case you don't feel like reading all that. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

As they say at the awards shows, I was humbled to learn that Christopher Nolan has read at least the first line of my...

This is a wise man right here. Mr. @phish.net, tear down this bad setlist call!
I hate to yuck anyone’s yum, but that wasn’t a Big Ball Jam on Friday. I’m not complaining; Big Ball Jams kind of suck, but that was a Tube Jam-While-Big-Balls-Bounced. Each band member didn’t follow a big ball and “play” what it did, though. Jam with Big Balls =/= BigBall Jam #yemsg93
Complete list of songs that - have gone 20+ minutes at least once - were debuted before 97 - haven’t been played on this run Crosseyed Curtain With Axilla II Boogie On Character Zero Dog Log Fee Free Funky Bitch Halley’s Lawn Boy Theme Whipping Post YEM
Big Ball Jam is actually a song, in the sense of a musical composition, and Phish did not play that song tonight.
phish.net is down. The band needs to pause the show. I need stats, stat.

Phish.net is a non-commercial project run by Phish fans and for Phish fans.

Tube was played only once in 93, tied for the least in any year. This is bullshit.
Welp, guess I’m gonna have to find a way to get to the 99 show so I can finally dance with Jennifer
Arguably the two best versions of Mike’s of the last 25 years have been during MSG residencies, let’s see if that trend continues…
So what song do we think Carlos Santana’s gonna guest on tonight?
Looking for a miracle for MSG for the 27th or 29th. Just had to drop a lot of money on my car and just can’t swing it otherwise.
