NOTES
^= Bouncy, peaky jam to get our motors running during the first set
~= Phish at their goofiest on the biggest stage possible – look at what they can get away with!
+= Consider the Baker’s Dozen Prophecy Fulfilled! Mash up style medley featuring: “Sunshine of Your Love” (Cream) > “More Than a Feeling” (Boston) > “Tale of Brave Ulysses” (Cream) > “Sunshine of Your Love” (Cream) > “Foreplay/Long Time” (Boston) > “Sunshine of Your Love”/”White Room” (Cream). Trey following the song: “Tomorrow’s donut will be Kansas/Metallica flavor.” Fishman: “We’ve been waiting for that joke for twenty years – really, seriously!” Trey: “This whole thing was just so we could do that! Now, we’re out of here!”.
*= Classic Mule Duel featuring Page & Mike.
@= Must hear track with excellent group interplay .
#= It’s classical music time at the Garden. Great showcase of Phish’s compositional prowess.
&= Perfect 1-2 punch to end set. Trey calls for “Rocky Top” in the spur of the moment.
