First off, Happy Halloween! It’s the second-most important day on the Phish calendar. I know everybody is probably looking forward to tonight, but in case you forgot, we had a show last night!
As an aside, just right now this minute I have been chatting with a cool guy Hideki from Tokyo who has come over [...]
Never ones to skimp on the amusement factor, Phish is at it again. Following up their whimiscal approach to revealing the location of Festival 8, they’re at it again with a delightful countdown to revealing the album to be played on Halloween! The list is wide ranging, from classic rock, to jazz, to 80’s heavyweights, [...]
Between the epic Red Rocks stand and the also highly anticipated Gorge run, Phish made a pit stop in California.

In the meantime, @phishtube posted a cool trailer [...]

I’ve been keeping an eye on the setlist on Twitter throughout the night…looks pretty awesome. They’re playing the hits, mostly. Opening with Fluffhead is a pretty bold statement. Songs also played include Tweezer, Hood, YEM, and Loving Cup to close the encore.
In an interesting move, they opened second set with Backwards Down the Number Line. [...]
About my grading system – this is something I picked up a number of years back as a quick way to identify standout versions of songs. I’ll put these in the setlist at the top, as well as in the standout versions section.
* Above average, or is notable for some reason
** Good version, usually on [...]
Welcome to the Helping Friendly Book!
If you’re here, you’re probably a Phish fan looking to see what somebody else thinks about your favorite shows.
