This second night of the band’s two night stand in Hartford featured a strong second set, with the most compelling jam coming right at the end in a set-closing “Ghost.” Phish will be back at “The Meadows” in a matter of a week.

Yesterday, some choice soundboard selections have leaked from Phish’s vault onto the Internet. Hidden Track and YEMblog have been the messenger pigeons of great tidings on the cusp of tour, providing the community with some crispy goodness for the road this summer. Yesterday, YEMBlog unveiled a Pre-FM source of Kevin Shapiro’s “From the Archives” show from Bonnaroo last summer. Included in the first broadcast, offered in FLAC and mp3, are such monumental musical moments as The Radio City “Ghost,” Big Cypress’ “After Midnight Reprise,” and The Fox Theatre “Tweezer” from November ’94. All in never before heard clarity – these three jams will get plenty of airtime this summer in cars and hotel rooms across the county. A track listing is below.
1. Destiny Unbound (5/31/2009 @ Fenway Park, Boston, MA)
2. Born Under Punches (10/31/1996 @ The Omni, Atlanta, GA)
3. Sabotage (8/16/1998 @ The Lemonwheel, Limestone, ME)
4. Ghost (5/22/2000 @ Radio City Music Hall, New York, NY)
5. Lengthwise (11/19/1992 @ St. Michael’s, Colchester, VT)
6. Sneakin’ Sally (9/28/1999 @ Oak Mountain, Pelham, AL)
7. Tweezer (11/23/1994 @ Fox Theatre, St. Louis, MO)
8. Llama (10/18/1994 @ Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN)
9. After Midnight (12/31/1999 @ Big Cypress)
10. Born to Run (7/16/1999 @ PNC Bank Arts Center, Holmdel, NJ)
And as if that wasn’t enough, hours later, Hidden Track posted a just-leaked SBD of part one my personal favorite Phish2k sequences – Ticketfly for purchasing tickets for this summer’s Merriweather shows. The bittersweet detail to this “release” is the glaring absence of the transcendent ‘Rock and Roll” that opened the set and led into “Theme.” Most likely lopped off for liscencing purposes, the second two-thirds of this standout segment is still a treat. Hidden Track also noted:
Also of note is the album title in the tags associated with the file which reads “Past Summer Compilation (5/11/2010 v2)” and it’s listed as track 11 of 12. Hopefully we’ll get to hear the other 11 tracks soon!
Big ups to Scotty B. and his crew for getting these choice cuts out to the people!
Three more days…

Only four days remain until the curtain lifts on Summer 2010, opening up a season of great musical anticipation. Kicking off this Friday night, Phish will put last year in their rear view mirror and begin to forge the road ahead. With eighteen shows in June and eleven more in August, it is about to be open season for Phish jams. Winding their way from Chicago to the northeast and then taking a straight shot south, Phish will begin to blaze the trail of summer with a lengthy opening leg.

While the band’s best playing inevitably comes later in the tour, there is always something magical about the opening show. Regardless of what the band plays, the first night of tour is always a special affair. A multi-layered personal reunion, reacquainting oneself with both friends and Phish, months of anticipation explode in cascades of adrenaline and excitement. That first note Trey hits sounds as sweet as candy in the warm summer air, and before turning one’s head, Phish has whisked everyone away into the first set of tour.
Always known for debuting new material at the beginning of tour, the band will likely add another layer of excitement over the first few nights with some brand new material. And if the improvisational progress shown in Miami is any indication, this summer should continue the fascinating re-evolutionary process of Phish. New adventures are now within arms reach.
