Whatever You Do, Take Care Of Your Shoes

“It took me a long time to get back on the train.”  There couldn’t be truer words to sum up this past fall tour.  Phish has finally turned a corner, and what we witnessed over the last few weeks was their best tour since reuniting in Hampton last year.  Everything just seemed to click - songs, jams, energy.

In my opinion, the venues played a key roll in this transformation.  By downsizing to smaller locations, Phish was able to reconnect with their audience on a much more personal level.  Hearing shows from Utica, Manchester, and Augusta, it was very reminiscent of the 93-94 era.  Very intimate and much more personal, and it definitely played a factor in the band taking some chances.

After a few warm-up gigs including ACL and the Broomfield run, Phish shifted into highgear the second night in Charleston, dropping some unexpected first song jams (“The Curtain With,” “Sand,”) and a second set that flowed perfectly from start to finish (check out the opening “Crosseyed” to see a small glimpse of what I mean).  From there, the tour just picked up steam.  The boys relaxed, and the risks they took paid off.  Augusta’s “Reba” rivals any other version from the last 15 years, and as an ENCORE?!  Yea, I’ll take it!  Guyutica was just an all-round party.  The “David Bowie” from that evening may take the cake as the most exploratory jam of the 3.0 era.  And while the boys appeared to have run out of steam mid-tour in Amherst, they picked right back up in Manchester for a show chock full of rarities.  The homestretch run in AC just solidified the tour, as Phish played seven action-packed sets, including a Zeppelin-infused 30th, and what some would argue their strongest musical costume to date on Halloween.

The Little Feat choice definitely played a roll in the success of the tour.  Maybe it’s like rekindling an old flame, but Phish rediscovered some of that magic from the early club days when Little Feat songs like “Skin In Back” and “Time Loves a Hero” were staples.  Trey was right when he said this one was for him.  Watching him play that night, there could not have been a better choice for an album.  Boardwalk Hall was transformed into a full on dance party, and the band tackled some of the most complex rhythms they ever attempted.

This is the Phish we love.  Each night filled with unexpected twists and turns, and strong, confident jams.  New songs like “Light” continue to be the driving force and catapult the band into that fantastic, unknown territory.  As we count down the days until the New Year’s run, we should be happy that the boys have found what was missing.

It was immediately following the “Zeppelin Show,” that I (and countless others) began thinking about what the musical costume this year would be.  The rumor mill was in high gear, with folks claiming it was everything from Zappa’s Hot Rats or Joe’s Garage, to Paul Simon’s Graceland, to King Crimson’s Lark’s Tongue In Aspic.  It was not until 30 minutes before I entered the Hall, when I got the message while in Caesar’s.  A simple twit-pic confirmed it.  Little Feat.

Phish’s tackling of the monstrous Waiting For Columbus would prove to be an event.  Unlike previous costumes, Columbus is a live album, so Phish would attempt to recreate a show within a show.

Set one set the tone for the evening, with a Halloween-infused set featuring several appropriate songs.  Opening with “Frankenstein,” Page stole the spotlight early as he took center stage with the keytar.  The energy kept flowing with a terrifying “Big Black Furry Creatures From Mars,” before settling into a funk-laden “Ghost” to get everyone in the dance mood.  “Ghost” saw the band opening up early, letting loose and getting their “feat” wet in a nice jam.  Our first surprise came with the bustout of “Spooky,” last covered back in April 1993.  This was followed by a fantastic “Divided Sky,” complete with glow stick war and longer-than-normal pause, and the appropriate (yet unexpected) “Roses Are Free.”  We had a little more appreciation for the “throw that pumpkin at the tree” lyrics.  A monster “Stash” and powerful “Character Zero” sealed the set.

The musical costume kicked off with “Join The Band” played over the PA as the band (joined by percussionist-extraordinaire Giovanni Hidalgo and a five-piece horn section) took the stage.  Per the band’s request, the crowd spelled out “P-H-I-S-H” as Kevin Statesir (owner of Higher Ground) introduced F-E-A-T.  Trey kicked the opening beats off on a small percussion rack before launching into the opening “Fat Man In The Bathtub.”  Throughout the set, each band member would shine.  Page’s soulful vocals and keyboard work on songs like “Fat Man In The Bathtub;” Mike’s thick bass groove anchoring down “Spanish Moon” and “Sailin’ Shoes;” “Fish’s impeccable timing on “All That You Dream;” and Trey’s incredible guitar work throughout.  He wasn’t kidding when he said this year’s album was for him.  Lowell George left some large shoes before, and Trey conquered the album with great confidence and charisma.  Phish even found a way to put their own spin on it, switching up instruments on an emotional “Willin’” with Fishman really doing George some justice, and a barbershop quartet rendition of “Don’t Bogart That Join.”  After “Feats Don’t Fail Me Now,” the band (and Hidalgo and horns) marched the perimeter of the venue in a percussion parade that lasted more than ten minutes!

After another intermission, the band hit the stage for one last set, kicking off with “Disease.”  The most note-worthy jam came in the end of “Wilson,” where they played an extended metal-jam that seemed like it could take the song into new places.  After a set-closing “YEM,” the band returned with Hidalgo and the horns for a smoking “Julius” encore.  As I walked the boardwalk leaving, I felt more than satisfied.  This was easily one of the finest nights of music I had ever seen.  Well played, Phish.  Can’t wait for New Year’s!

Check out below for a small playlist of videos I shot, including part of the percussion parade.

Notes: Page performed Frankenstein on keytar. Spooky was performed for the first time since 4/14/93 (751 shows). The second set “musical costume” was Little Feat’s 1978 Waiting for Columbus. Join the Band (the first track of Waiting for Columbus) was played over the PA before the start of the second set.  Subsequently, Phish was introduced as “Little Feat” before Fat Man in the Bathtub. All of the songs in the second set other than Time Loves a Hero were Phish debuts. All of the songs in the second set, other than Don’t Bogart That Joint and Willin’, featured Giovanni Hidalgo on percussion. A five piece horn section consisting of Aaron Johnson, Stuart Bogie, Ian Hendrickson, Michael Leonhart and Eric Biondo joined the band for Old Folks Boogie, Time Loves a Hero, Day or Night, Mercenary Territory, Spanish Moon, Dixie Chicken, Rocket in My Pocket and Feats Don’t Fail Me Now. Willin’ featured Page on bass, Mike on piano, Trey on drums and Fish on vocals. Prior to the piano solo at the beginning of Willin’, Fish remarked, “That’s supposed to be Bill Payne on the keyboard.” Don’t Bogart That Joint was performed a cappella. Trey introduced the guest musicians at the start of Feats Don’t Fail Me Now and Page teased “Charge!” during the introductions. At the conclusion of the second set, the entire band marched the perimeter of the floor. Disease was initially botched and had to be restarted, prompting Fish to declare, “This one’s off our album.” Julius featured Giovanni Hidalgo and the Waiting for Columbus horn section.

P.S. Here’s the Phishbill in pdf for those who couldn’t attend.

In a classic Phish move, the band unleashed a show Saturday that will go down in Phishtory as one of those nights you had to be there.  Just like The “Moby Dick Show,” The “M” Set, and The “OJ” Show, Saturday was something special, and epitomizes why we follow this band.  This time, the theme was Led Zeppelin, a leading contender for this year’s musical costume.  The joke was on us.

After a scorching beginning to the set, featuring “Kill Devil Falls” and a surprise “Cavern,” the band launched into a seemly normal “Chalk Dust Torture.”  All this changed mid-jam, when Trey launched into Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love” for a quick verse.  Transitioning back into “Chalk Dust,” we thought we’d been given a hint.  Would Zeppelin be played tomorrow?  Well, “Ha Ha Ha” should have answered that.  We’d been had, and the band was loving every minute of it.  The action was far from over, as the “Whole Lotta Love” theme kept emerging throughout the night, in “Bathtub Gin,” “Possum,” and “Tweezer.”  “Tweezer” would set the stage for arguably one of the most creative jams we’ve seen in years.  Using “Tweezer” as a base, the band weaved in and out of various Zeppelin tunes, creating a unique medley.  It all began with Mike playing the bass line of “Heartbreaker,” with Trey catching on and delivering a few lines.  As quickly as it started, the band returned to the “Tweezer” theme, only to settle into “Ramble On.”  They were clearly having fun, as Trey and Page looked at each other in laughter as they traded vocals and tried to remember lyrics.  The jam shifted into “Thank You” before returning back to the “Tweezer” rift.  But, in what seemed like Trey just noodling off, soon became familiar as he began playing the famous solo from “Stairway To Heaven.”  Capping the jam off with the final verse to “Stairway,” this “Tweezer” forever solidified its place in Phishtory.

The rest of the set continued to smoke, especially the lengthy “2001” jam that had Trey soloing over the groove for some time.  A set ending “Good Times Bad Times” was the only appropriate way to go.  As everyone exited the Hall, we couldn’t believe what we had witnessed.  With Zeppelin out of the picture, what would this year’s musical costume be?

Below is an HD video I shot of “Tube.”  Had some great pole position that night…

Saturday October 30, 2010 Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, NJ

Set I: Kill Devil Falls, Cavern > Foam, Guelah Papyrus, Chalk Dust Torture > Whole Lotta Love > Chalk Dust Torture, Ha Ha Ha, Walk Away, Wolfman’s Brother > Undermind > Bathtub Gin, The Squirming Coil

Set II: Tube > Possum > Tweezer > Heartbreaker > Tweezer > Ramble On > Thank You > Tweezer > Stairway To Heaven, Halley’s Comet > 2001 > David Bowie, Show Of Life, Backwards Down The Number Line > Good Times Bad Times

E: Sleeping Monkey > Tweezer Reprise

Notes: Whole Lotta Love was incomplete (one verse only) and was played for the first time since March 1, 1991 (1,033 shows). Wolfman’s contained a vocal jam. Ha Ha Ha, Gin, Possum and Tweezer and Tweezer Reprise all contained Whole Lotta Love teases. Possum also contained a Sneakin’ Sally tease. The incomplete versions of Heartbreaker, Thank You, and Stairway to Heaven were all Phish debuts. Ramble On was played for the first time since August 12, 1998 (305 shows). After Stairway to Heaven, Trey joked, “Happy Halloween! See you all next year.” Mike teased The Lemon Song before Halley’s. Appropriately, Whole Lotta Love was also the post-show music. From the soundcheck, Ramble On and the second and third versions of Whole Lotta Love were incomplete. Destiny Unbound (in the soundcheck) was played by only Mike and Fish, started out as being sung to the drumbeat of Time Loves A Hero and included a Live and Let Die quote from Mike.

It’s been a wild few days, and I’ve been running on fumes since returning from one of the greatest set of Phish concerts I’ve ever seen.  THIS is Phish!  The improvs, the humor, the jams…it’s all there, and we were treated to three nights of magnificent music at the famed Boardwalk Hall.  So, it’s time to recap, and I’ll start with night one.

After sitting in loads of traffic (it took us 4 hours to get from NYC to AC), we made it to our seats with a few minutes to spare.  The boys hit the stage and began their three-night run with our National Anthem.  The back of the Hall had an enormous American Flag on display, so this was fitting.  The show really kicked off with the bluesy “My Soul,” with Trey wasting no time hammering out an explosive guitar solo.  The set coasted from here, with the band really warming up on standard renditions of “AC/DC Bag,” “Ocelot,” and “Sample.”  “Light Up And Leave Me Alone” was a real treat, with Page dominating on the boards and unleashing some soulful vocals.  The rest of the set remained fairly standard until the band dipped into “The Moma Dance.”  Out of the short jam, Trey immediately launched into an unexpected “Cities,” giving us a taste of that rare mid-first set segue.  “Cities” triggered something, as the band built upon its groove to enter into some murky, ambient territory that transitioned right into the closing “46 Days.”

Set two kicked off with “Punch You In The Eye,” followed by the jam-heavy “Sand.”  “Sand” catapulted the band into the first real lengthy segment of the evening.  As the jam progressed, the boys found themselves jamming on a chord progression that easily could have extended minutes longer.  Trey disagreed though, and cut the groove short for “Carini.”  Light other versions this year, “Carini” opened the doors for experimentation, this time finding the band transitioning into “Caspian.”  “Corrina” followed, bringing us down to earth for a few minutes.  It was perfectly placed in the set, providing a nice break before picking back up with a nasty “Piper > Theme” combo.  The set culminated in an electrifying “Slave > Fluffhead” segment that really capped the first night of right.  A proper “Loving Cup” encore, and we all filed out onto the Boardwalk wondering what else would be in store for us the next two days.  If we only knew…

You know that feeling of watching a show unfold on Twitter or From The Road and just knowing that you are missing out on something special?  Last night’s Manchester show was exactly that.  From the moment the boys hit the stage, it was apparent that something was going to be very unique that night.  Watching the setlist unfold before my very eyes, I was reminded of Burgettstown ‘03 and the night of bustouts.

Hitting the stage 45 minutes after the listed start time, the band launched into the first “After Midnight” since the famed Big Cypress set one closer.  Trey’s vocals sounded better than ever (as they have the last few shows), having that extra boom that carries over the melodies.  “The Sloth” was an excellent follow up, followed by one of my all-time favorites, “Alumni Blues.”  “Alumni” was jammed out nicely, including the “Letter To Jimmy Page” segment.  Trey even added the extra lyric, “from Goddard College” after the final “‘cause I got a degree.”  “Mellow Mood” and “Access Me” followed, and though a bit sloppy, it was nice to see the band continue playing songs not played all tour.  A surprising mid-set “Llama” picked the pace up a bit, and Trey really shredded the heck out of it.  “All Of These Dreams” brought everyone back down to earth, before the tour’s second “Curtain With.”  “With” was played perfectly, and easily stuck out as a set highlight.  The other two big surprises were “A Song I Heard The Ocean Sing” and “Walls Of The Cave,” both tackled with confidence and well executed.  Though not as jammed out as the ‘03-‘04 era, it was a comfort to see these gems get their time to shine again.

Set two kicked off with a strong “Possum > Light” combo.  Moving away from the song-by-song structure of the previous set, Trey really let loose here, driving the band through the evening’s first real experimental jam.  The rest of the set landed sandwiched in one of the most aggressive and experimental “Mike’s Groove” we’ve heard this era.  Emerging from a “Simple” jam, Trey played the opening chords to “Makisupa Policeman,” was used to pay homage to Gregory Isaacs who passed away the previous day.  In his honor, “Night Nurse” was debuted, before segueing back into “Makisupa.”  Things kept rolling with the tour’s first “Wedge,” an excellent “Ghost,” and “Mango Song.”  “Weekapaug” rounded out the set, delivering perhaps the evening’s biggest surprise.  The Stones’ “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” was heavily jammed, and the band found themselves reprising the lyrics to “Ghost” and “Night Nurse.”  But in one last shocker, the band took a turn out of “Weekapaug” and back into “Llama” again!  The “Show Of Life” encore may have been the biggest letdown, but after a set like that, who could complain?

Look, the fact is you’re not always going to play a smoking hot show.  After a blowout in Utica and a strong follow up the previous night in Amherst, it’s not surprising that the band toned it down a bit.  Last night’s show will likely be forgotten in the grand scheme of things, and the tour will certainly pick back up with the upcoming Atlantic City run.

The most obvious standout in the first set was the “Ride Captain Ride” bustout that had been unheard for almost ten years.  This provided a temporary mood lifter amongst staples like “AC/DC Bag,” “Stash,” and “Antelope” that really didn’t go anywhere.

Set two had all the means for a blowout, with the “Seven Below” starter, but the boys brought it to a close just as it was really starting to take off.  From there, the set really just played out as another first set, focusing more on songs and less on the exploratory jams that second sets typically bring.  The highpoints included “The Lizards” and a rare “Brother,” but still these were just not enough to kick things into high gear.

So, onto New Hampshire.  Here’s hoping for a turnaround and some more of that energy and excitement we saw a few shows back.

The title says it all.  Last night’s first show in Amherst was a real party and one that I’m jealous to have missed.  The tone was set with a show opening “Meatstick” that had the whole crowd going nuts.  First a show ender and now an opener!  This tour just keeps getting better and better.  “Meatstick” was followed by the ever appropriate “Party Time” (and tour first) to keep the energy alive.  As the set progressed, each band member got a real chance to shine - Trey shredding away on “Tweezer” and “Possum;” Mike howling away on “BBFCFM;” Page on “Lawn Boy;” and the return of Henrietta on “Love You.”  This was really a set for the band.  The “Meatstick” lyrics during “Tweeprise” added a nice set ending touch.

Set two began with a raging “Disease > My Friend My Friend” segment that Trey just owned.  It was also pleasantly surprising to hear “Halfway To The Moon” get played again this tour.  Exceptional versions of “Maze,” “Harry Hood,” and “YEM” were also played.  The evening commenced with a great take on the Stones’ “Shine A Light.”  Bring on more jams…I’m excited to see what tomorrow brings.

Coming off a smoking hot show in Utica, it seemed probable that the band would wind down a bit for the next show.  Providence was certainly no Utica, but it brought upon a solid night of playing.  The evening kicked off with a smoking “Down With Disease” that allowed Trey to wail on the ‘doc early.  A mid-set “Fluffhead” and the tour’s second “Roses Are Free” were nice additions and well placed.  Other standouts included the tour’s first “Rift” and the closing “Julius.”

Set two picked up a bit with a nice version of “Rock & Roll” into “Carini” that saw the band really dive into some exploratory territory.  The “Mike’s Groove” that followed was also a set highlight, featuring a lengthy “Sanity” sandwiched in between.  The rest of the set built upon that energy, with a fiery “Light” that stretched into the unknown.  A funky “2001” and a classic “Loving Cup” ended the set, followed by a killer “First Tube encore.”  Next stop…Jamherst!

Utica is a special place to see a show.  If you’ve ever had the opportunity to see a band play the Auditorium there, you know how cool it is to be in that “highschool gym” atmosphere.  Phish definitely has a place in their heart for Utica as well.  You’ll remember, Utica is where we had the “almost reunion” of Phish back in 2005 when Trey’s band graced the stage.

Last night’s show marked a turning point in the tour.  The band hit the stage and played one of their finest shows since returning last year, and in my opinion, the best show of the tour thus far.  Everything about last night was magnificent, from the risks, the jams, and the song selection.  Trey especially had that extra boom in his voice, as evident in “Stealing Time” and “Wolfman’s Brother.”  The tone was set with the unexpected “My Soul” opener.  Launching into the bluesy jam, Page and Trey fed off each other and really killed it.  “Stealing Time” and a rare “Vultures” kept the pace up.  “Wolfman’s Brother” also deserves some special attention, with Trey and Mike singing their notes while soloing.  It was very reminiscent of Oteil Burbridge’s playing with ARU, and incredibly funky.  The jam progressed for a few more minutes, segueing perfectly into a short “Cities.”  The meat of the set came with “Guyute.”  This would spark some serious creativity, as “Guyute” teases would come back in “Bowie” and the rest of set one.  “David Bowie” in particular was extremely adventurous, featuring “Guyute” lyrics during the hi-hat intro.  The “Bowie” jam featured extensive jamming on “Wilson” with “Guyute” lyrics throughout.  This is easily one of the most unique jams heard in some time, and very reminiscent of early 90’s Phish.

After intermission, the band dove right into “Drowned,” flowing into the tour’s second “Sand.”  “Sand,” like always, was very funky and a great jam that had everyone grooving.  The set progressed nicely from there, with decent versions of “Theme From The Bottom” and “Tela.”  That creative spark of the first returned with “Split Open And Melt,” which the band used to glide into the reggae classic, “Have Mercy.”  This was followed by “Piper,” which saw the boys take a turn back into “Melt” to end the jam.  If you haven’t checked out the audio yet, do so now!  “Slave” proved to be a perfect set closer, bringing the evening to a proper close.  The “Good Times, Bad Times” encore was ever appropriate.  Good times indeed.
