A Festi Set
Amounting to an extended warm up for fall tour, Phish played the ultimate festival set in Austin last night that featured a smattering of songs and little creative improv. Staying wholly within the box for the indie festival, the only surprise came in the middle of “Harry Hood’s” jam when the band smoothly segued into “Light” – the biggest and brightest piece in their repertoire right now. But for the first time in memory, Phish didn’t jam the song, ending with its lyrical refrain. This represented the unifying theme of the band’s Austin appearance – no jams. Sounding perfectly proficient the entire night, particularly strong playing came in “Chalk Dust,” “Rock and Roll > 2001,” and “Harry Hood,” but all in all, this was a big pay day for the band and not much else. While I’m sure they had fun headlining a major festival, Phish played the most straight forward show possible with no risks whatsoever, making the night a non-factor for the many fans who didn’t attend – including myself. Even Phish didn’t list Austin City Limits as part of their Fall Tour on their website, because tour starts for real on Sunday. Broomfield awaits…

best groove of 3.0 noooo where did the stream go
so a fee coming?
I just asked what the random songs were all about. I was just too lazy to look back and find the reason. Was just curious.
Wasn’t planning on going to Chs but after that Ghost, I’m looking at flights… 😉
I WANT TO BE THERE PHUCK
Frank Zappa – Gumbo Variations – Hot Rats
did I hear a Glide intro thru that choppy stream?
Genesis poster & AC phish ticket -seems too obvious. Phish knows some fan would uncover that connection. Still could be a hint though…
Nope.
Fee.
Im assuming its a Fee without a megafone. It just doesn’t seem like the right time for one
missing phish is stupid.
it should be illegal.
Maybe Genesis is gonna cover Phish for the set?
agree silly
All Phish albums on Halloween have had tunes that they’ve done before
almost never a bad time for fee imho
Something tells me that there will be plenty more where that came from!
I just got goosebumps.
def has a megaphone – two separate tweets ’bout it
what is this?
If I’m not mistaken, ‘Remain In The Light’ were all debuts, Dude.
haha awesome
Fee is definitely in am unusual slot…
at least for 3.0 right?
makisupa!!!
“missing phish is stupid. ”
yes.
Dude, is that statement fact?
I don’t recall Crosseyed prior to 10.31.96….did they play something else off that album prior?
Really RIL?
reclaiming the megaphone from Arcade Fire, methinks.
Always down for this one…
Wonder what the keyword will be..
Damn, there’s nothing I’d rather be doing right now than watching Phish play.
are folks struggling with 10/29 and 10/30 tix? I kind of scratched the AC trip when we didn’t get Halloween, but since we’ve got the time off – why not?
