Phish Crank The Heat Up At Alpine Valley
Last night’s show at Alpine Valley easily sticks out as a tour highlight. A solid mix of bustouts and jams saw the band deliver one of the finest performances of the year. Opening the evening with “Tube,” the band meant business. A nice “Oh Kee Pah > Suzy” combo followed. A big surprise was the return of “Fuck Your Face,” which many fans believed would be a one-and-done performance after it surfaced in Charlotte.
Set two kicked off with “The Sloth” (possibly due to a fan request), followed by a raging “Disease > What’s The Use?” combo. The Mike-humored “Scent Of A Mule” also made its tour and year debut. The Mike’s Groove was also quite remarkable, melding in “Dirt” and the funky “Sneaking Sally Through The Alley” in between. The evening concluded with another performance of Dylan’s “Quinn The Eskimo.”
