One more Saturday night on the first leg of Summer Tour, and many fans were still reeling from the previous night’s barn-burner in Charlotte. Folks got settled in on lot at Raleigh’s [insert revolving-door corporate sponsor here] Pavilion at Walnut Creek, grabbed a cup of whatever and caught their breath, while keeping their eyes on smart phone weather radars. A mega-storm of Alpharetta proportions was headed their way. But the higher powers [Icculus, perhaps?] were looking out for the children dancing on the lawn, and a perfect amphitheater-sized hole broke in the brightly colored band teeming across the NC Piedmont. Fans stayed dry, at least until two and a half hours of boogyin’ on drenched them in sweat.
For the first time in nearly 19 years, Phish opened with two instrumentals. [11/22/92 opened with Buried Alive and Oh Kee Pah]. Page‘s Cars Trucks Buses really deserves more rotation, especially if he and Trey jam it out like they did on this particular night. And only the second rendition of Frank Zappa’s Peaches En Regalia since 1999 had all the post-hiatus stats chasers high-fiving while they shook their tail-feathers. AC/DC Bag featured a mellow build with a raging peak, and the crowd was lit up. Guyute and yet another Possum [the second in a week and the seventh of tour] followed, and then Mike began the doo-wop intro to Halley’s Comet. Many fans have lamented the demise of this particular song throughout the post-breakup era. Once a monster jam vehicle, the song seems to get cut off in favor of another before it builds up any steam. This version was showing some serious potential – a nice peak was reached via some rockin’ piano chops, and a new and interesting jam segment was just beginning to be shaped by Mike’s bass line – but sure enough, a seemingly A.D.D. Trey forced the 46 Days intro over the top of everything else, and that was the end of Halley’s. Thankfully, 46 Days has its own post-breakup reputation as a rager, and this version was two minutes of composition followed by a fist-pumping five minutes of climax that left brows wet and knees weak. The set rounded out with Divided Sky (falling somewhere between the sloppy PNC iteration and the best versions edition at Great Woods), Curtis Loew (with a few lyric flubs by Page that were overshadowed the fact that it’s SUCH a great tune), and Run Like an Antelope.

Second set opened with a Twist that grooved steadily across Type I terrain and straight into an extremely tight and focused Rift. Prince Caspian floated upon the waves of upper-octave bass and into a serene pool of delay loop that teased Piper extensively before uncovering the calliope intro to the first Esther of the year. After that poor girl had drifted away to a tranquil and motionless sleep, Trey began fiddling around with the array of gadgets in front of him. Guitar tech Brian Brown was summoned, celebrated, and sent away. Mike rang his foot bell a couple of times on the urging of Trey, who was speaking through a vocal effect that pushed his voice to a timbre of, say, Perry Farrell. The ensuing Been Caught Stealing, played for the first time since the cover-laden year of ’98, was a PARTY. Next, the actualization of Piper sailed upon Fishman‘s never-ceasing polyrhythmic rolls and fills while dual-duty Page had one hand nimbly cavorting up and down the piano keys while the other saturated the jam with organ. Piper segued neatly into My Friend, My Friend, and instead of punctuating the end with a hearty Myfe, Trey ripped into a must-listen run through Kill Devil Falls.
After only a quick breath following that shredder of a KDF, Fishman kicked off what became the night’s highlight for many: Split Open and Melt. Clocking in at over 14 minutes, the band effortlessly nailed the composed segment before wandering about the main theme and into a shadowy valley of psychedelic improv. Held together at first by Fishman’s periodic assertion of the song’s complex time signature, the sound completely dissolved into a puddle of gloom. Each member of the band took their time to emerge on the main theme, and then it was done. A one-two punch closer of Golgi and a particularly vivacious First Tube (complete with Jedi Trey wielding his Languedoc light saber for all to see) put the exclamation point at the end of a fantastic set. For the encore, a brisk take on Zeppelin’s Good Times, Bad Times sent fans shakin’ out to Shakedown Street for food and frolic. Thus ended a particularly memorable summertime romp through North Carolina with only one show to go on the first leg of Summer Tour 2011.

Fans lucky enough to have secured tickets to the smallest venue of the tour -with a 7,000-person capacity, the diminutive nTelos Pavilion holds just about one-third of the previous night’s stop in Raleigh – made their way across rural Eastern Virginia to a cluster of coastal cities that is all too familiar to veteran Phish aficionados. Portsmouth is perched on the mouth of the James River, along with Norfolk, Hampton and Virginia Beach, all of which have hosted a total of 21 shows since 1992. The venue itself was an astute architectural acknowledgment to the sailboats docked at the adjacent port. Ferries carried fans from the band of hotels on the Norfolk side of the river across to a scattered sea of festive parking lots and decks, and the brief stormy squall did little to quash the fevered anticipation of one last night of Phish.
Seeing as how the band had opened their last two Father’s Day shows with their kids piled in a bathtub while they played Brother, just about everyone assumed that’s how this show would open as well, but then Dr. Jack McConnell wandered out onstage for a quick dance step right before showtime, and all bets were off. Sure enough, those infamous lyrics, Oom Pa Pa, Oom Pa Pa, Oom Pa Paaaaaaa kicked off the first Harpua opener in 22 years. The middle portion of the song, which typically contains a silly narrative leading into an out-of-leftfield first-time cover, instead contained a Happy Birthday tease to a new 31 year-old and her mom in the front row before forging ahead to the story of Harpua and Poster Nutbag. And once the storm had gone, Jimmy and his father had their little tte--tte about Poster’s demise, voiced by Trey, Mike, Page and Jon and their fathers, Ernie, Bob, Jack and Leonard. Hilarious. The brief but brilliant Harpua was followed by the anticipated Brother with the kids, and after all of the family members had been introduced, including in utero, Question Mark McConnell!, there was an unspoken moment of reflection for both the band and the fans. 28 years into an awe-inspiring career and many of us have gone from crazy little kids rebelling against our own fathers into fathers ourselves, worrying about what kind of ridiculous shenanigans our own kids are seeking. Thankfully, there’s no need for an inquiry as to whether we can still have fun. Happy Father’s Day, everyone!

The rest of the first set [and the second set as well] contained more than a handful of repeats from earlier in the week, but this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Echoes from Alpharetta included solid versions of Back on the Train, Timber, The Moma Dance, and David Bowie, as well as particularly tasty takes on Down with Disease and Funky Bitch. The other special moment before the sun fell below the sea was a first-time cover of Bruce Springsteen’s Thunder Road in honor of the recently passed Clarence Clemons, who was both a long-time member of Springsteen’s E-Street Band and a native of nearby Chesapeake. Rounding out the set were a sadly short and stuttering Tube, a good but not great Alaska, and a textbook reading of The Wedge.
The lights went down for one final time in June of 2011, and the band wasted no time with a rip-roarin’ Crosseyed and Painless that never lost an ounce of energy. Walls of the Cave followed, leaving many to wonder why it isn’t in more of a regular rotation with its well-crafted multi-part composed portion and its easily explored rock-n-roll outro. Said outro segued into a sweet and sublime Slave, and then on into Fluffhead. Sliding on smoothly into Sand, the band found even greater party potential in this version than its last rockin’ take in Alpharetta. The jam wiggled and wandered with a great deal of subtle interplay between Trey & Page and included a bit of old school stop-start jamming. The final stop-start was practically a Sand Reprise, which then snuck into fan-favorite Sneakin’ Sally Through the Alley, featuring a brief vocal jam that then rocked its way into Light. Without a doubt the most powerful jam vehicle of Phish 3.0, this particular version went a slightly different direction than its many other versions, sticking to a major key for its able-bodied build, release and subsequent trek of tranquility. The already stellar jam began its second build along with the anticipation of the next tune. What followed was Backwards Down the Number Line. Say what you will about this tuneso I don’t have to. Closing out the set was another Page-powered Suzy Greenburg. Apparently, Page has houses in Alpharetta, Charlotte AND Portsmouth.
After Julius, an interesting choice for an encore but well-executed nonetheless, fans slipped off into the night for one last drink, one last dance, one last after-party. Without a doubt the hottest ticket was The Phro Boat. This new post-show tradition for notable tour stops near bodies of water, the double-decker party boat scooped up the lucky revelers from right behind the venue and took a wild trip up the James River before dropping them off at the hotel in the wee hours of morning. West Coast phans, don’t be the only ones left on the dock – check out The Tahoe Steamer coming to a rockin’ resort lake near you. And with that, we bid you a weary but cheerful Adieu. Rest up, get excited for SuperBall, and whatever you do, take care of those shoes.

Getting to New York’s Madison Square Garden for Phish‘s New Year’s run was a
cakewalk compared to the blizzard
conditions that had universally complicated travel plans earlier in the week in Worcester. Outside the hallowed
venue, hundreds
of hopeful, ticketless souls wandered the tightly packed blocks of midtown Manhattan. Inside MSG, site of so many
notable moments in this band’s history, Phish closed the year in which they
truly
returned to form with three focused, sharp sets that were also not short on collective improvisation.
The first half of the first set was a perfectly paced party that also included its share of surprises. Punch You in the
Eye and AC/DC Bag, despite being two of the oldest and most frequently played staples in the Phish repertoire,
were played with real commitment by the whole band. Trey particularly zeroed in on the climax of the
latter
tune. As AC/DC Bag concluded with its upwardly spiraling fade out, the mid tempo funk of Moma Dance
emerged and quickly became the song when the band and audience truly relaxed into the set, the evening, and
perhaps the reality of another passing year. The clip of the infrequently played Scent of a Mule took the energy up
a notch, and was spot on throughout, including the tricky to navigate transitions from the klezmer jam back to the
bluegrass outro. And, as someone who won’t shy away from saying that Phish sometimes has an uphill climb with
accurate vocal harmonies, Mule was quite well sung.
The rest of the first set was a pleasantly mixed bag of debuts (the instantly likable shuffle of Phish’s next FM chance,
Burn that Bridge), classic staples from the near-yet-far era of the mid nighties (Weigh and Beauty of my
Dreams) and the downright unfamiliar (Gone, the obscure track from Party Time, that in my opinion may
have
been this set’s only misstep, inserting a pensive, tentative note into an otherwise celebratory collection of tunes).
Rock n’ Roll closed out the early set with a textbook jam that demonstrated Trey’s newfound climax-building
concision, a distillation of years of experience in the rarified field of jam artistry.
After a relatively short break, the band returned and burned through a non-stop second set that never let up in
intensity. Trey’s recent, more aggressive distortion tone led the charge on Wilson and a searing, Zappa-
fied 46
Days. The whole band appeared recharged for this set and ready to lay down some serious psychedelic prog-funk.
As Sand opened up into a weave of pointed staccato accents, the room exploded and the evening’s promise began
to truly come to fruition. In a year of many versions of Down with Disease, this outing delivered with both heroic,
major key riffage and twisted excursions into darkness. Ghost was also well balanced between its creepy funk
verses and a long, lighthearted major I-IV section. On a dime, the band collectively began to slow down until Trey
counted off a wonderfully executed You Enjoy Myself that included full blown Manteca choruses interspersed in
the jam, the bass solo, and in the final vocal improv that closed out the set. I think it’s safe to say the folks who
have dutifully carried around that Manteca banner all year were feeling pretty good right about now.

Meatstick ambled to life to open the New Year’s set and at first didn’t even hint at the 19 minute spectacle that was
to follow. After the Japanese lyrics, a quartet of men dressed in traditional African garb entered stage right and sang
a few choruses, followed by a Mariachi band stage left, followed by an increasingly diverse collection of cultural
representatives all dressed in traditional outfits. Around this time, either a pre-recorded version of Meatstick
began playing or the front of house engineer had live-looped eight bars of the tune. Either way, the band was
subtley ushered off stage while the 50+ ensemble of dancers and singers went through a tightly choreographed
Broadway-style routine in the front of the stage and on risers behind the amps. Then the loop stopped, and the
company sang Meatstick in a chromatically ascending pattern until Phish emerged in the Hot Dog from New Year’s
past! Thousands of hot dog colored (and shaped) balloons began falling as the band, all smiles, traversed the
rooftop of the arena tossing foam wieners down on the crowd. Eventually landing on the stage, the band seamlessly
continued the tune until the countdown. A brief but incendiary After Midnight followed and served as the bridge
into the rest of the first set of 2011.
The whole band outdid themselves on the version of Backwards Down the Number Line that followed. This was a
valentine to the crowd, managing to simultaneously channel both a heart-tugging poignancy and a ferocious energy.
The same could be said of Waste, which induced memories of the many years and hundreds of shows many in
attendance had experienced together. Trey wove knots of Leslie-drenched notes at the song’s conclusion, and
eventually fell into a long, patient Slave to the Traffic Light. The band gathered at the front of the stage for the
absurd barbershop of Grind, and closed out a well considered and appropriately high energy show with First
Tube. Though for the first time in the band’s history they and many in the room would be returning the following
night for another show, this set felt like the exclamation point it was meant to be — a remarkable year for a band
whose diverse history is already marked with many.

was played for the first time since October 30, 1998 (301 shows) and the ensuing YEM vocal jam contained Manteca
quotes. Before midnight, several groups of multiethnic dancers appeared on stage and sang the Meatstick lyrics in
their respective languages. The band joined the dancers and then stealthily disappeared from the stage, only to
reappear at the other side of the arena in the giant hotdog from past NYE shows (’94 and ’99). As a result, portions
of the Meatstick were pre-recorded. Appropriately, the post-show music was Captain Beefheart’s Tropical Hot Dog
Night.
