Phish Close Out Telluride Visit In Classic Style
Phish hit the stage last night for the last of two evenings in Telluride Town Park, and delivered a power-packed show. Though lacking in jams, the show made up for it in rarities, unleashing a few songs rarely heard live (yet alone in the same show).
Set one opened with an unexpected “Squirming Coil” (for those counting, they haven’t opened with this since 7/16/98). From there, the excitement kept coming with a well executed “Stealing Time” and “Ya Mar.” Rare gems like “Timber,” “Roses Are Free,” and “Walk Away” also made appearances, much to the audiences delight. “The Divided Sky” and a set closing “Antelope” were really the only jams of the set, but that “Antelope” was smoking!
Set two kicked off with “Party Time,” which set the tone for the rest of the set. One of the most exciting “Mike’s Groove” of 3.0 followed with a “Crosseyed And Painless” sandwiched in between!!! “Crosseyed” quickly dissipated into “Hydrogen” just as it was taking off, but an interesting move for the band to pull. Following “Weekapaug,” the band treated the audience to yet another rarity with “Destiny Unbound.” A set closing “YEM” brought everyone one last high, before capping the evening off with the 3.0-go-to finale, “Shine A Light.”
A remarkable set of shows indeed. Hopefully the band felt that same energy and will return soon.
