TTFF: Ten From ’10
12.31.2010 (Ryan Gilbertie)
With only two weeks separating us from the kick-off of Phish’s massive Summer 2011, let’s take a moment to revisit some of last year’s finest moments, in no particular order. For anyone who thinks Phish doesn’t jam anymore, take a run through this playlist…enjoy….
***
“2001 > David Bowie” 10.30 II
10.30.10 (D.Lavery)
The smoking conclusion—and finest segment—of a wild, pre-Halloween night.

“Reba” 10.19 E
The divine creation that came out of nowhere in Augusta’s encore.

“Ghost” 12.31 II

The Holy “Ghost.”

“Seven Below -> What’s the Use?” 12.27 II
A delicate, introspective journey from Worcester’s snow-covered opening night.

“Rock and Roll -> Carini” 10.22 II
10.23.10 (R. Gilbertie)
Providence’s exploratory set-opening combo; from an avant-garde “Rock and Roll” into a blissful “Carini.”

“Light” 8.7. II
The band’s magnum opus from the Greek—one of the year’s improvisational peaks.

“Harry Hood” 12.28 II
12.30.2010 (G.Lucas)
An impeccable, four-part musical conversation that, in my opinion, represents musical perfection.

“Backwards Down the Number Line” 6.12 II
One of very few jams from June’s tour with staying power. Phish came together in an instant amidst a noodly jam and crafted a soundtrack for secret-agent.

“Simple” 8.6 II
8.5.10 (W. Rogell)
One of the most engaging jams from, arguably, the most creative three-night stand of the year at the Greek.

“Disease -> What’s the Use?” 8.14 II
Face melting rock and roll morphs into sublime territory, landing perfectly in “What’s the Use?.”

What’s up bk? We’ve had a hard time hooking up lately. But things are good. Off to Europe a week from tomorrow. Pretty excited.
@silly – make sure you have a brat at the mars cheese castle and you have to stop into a joint called tenudos. Both are great (at least as far as Kenosha goes)
Sweep, baby.
