Whatever You Do, Take Care Of Your Shoes

Phish quietly announced today the release of last year’s famed Utica set in a deluxe 2-DVD/CD set.  This marks the second release from 2010, and the second consecutive release of a recent show rather than digging into the archives.

Phish’s stop in Utica marked their smallest venue on their 2010 fall tour.  The hype that preceded the show was enormous, and fans expected all the stops to be pulled out in Phish’s first visit to the War Memorial.  The band caught the eye of a fan’s “Guyutica” sign, and the tone of the evening was set.  Weaving in and out of Guyute teases throughout the first set, and following up with a smoking set two, the band delivered arguable the best show of the year (if not 3.0).

The complete show will be available in a 2-DVD/CD combo, with a release date of May 17.  Setlist below:
