With Super Ball IX on our minds, I figured I’d drop one highlight from each of the previous eight festivals to enjoy throughout your Tuesday.
***
“Harry Hood” 8.16.96 III
The first festival “Hood;” a soaring rendition from the third set of The Clifford Ball.
***
“Wolfman’s > Simple” 8.16.97 II
Two of so many amazing jams at The Great Went.
***
“Ghost” 8.16.98 II
As Summer ’98 came to a close, Phish began weaving in a new style of melodic, ambient jamming—present in this “Ghost”—that would become prevalent throughout the fall. This version is a gorgeous festival highlight that often flies under the radar.
***
“Tweezer -> Have Mercy” 7.17.99 I
This gooey “Tweezer” provided the sunset soundtrack on the first night at Osewgo.
***
“After Midnight Reprise” 12.31.99
Sacred Phish ground from the depths of night at Big Cypress.
***
“46 Days” 8.3.03 II
Post-hiatus abstract psychedelia at its finest.
***
“AC/DC Bag” 8.14.04 II
One of few impressive musical moments at Coventry.
***
“You Enjoy Myself” 10.31.09 III
A climactic version from the third set of a West Coast Halloween.
