Here’s another run through Phish’s eight festivals, one highlight at a time. Enjoy the jams as the weekend (and Super Ball IX) approaches!
***
One of The Clifford Ball’s lasting highlights (with a scorching second jam in “Mike’s.”)
***
These festival-sized grooves laced Sunday afternoon’s set at The Great Went. This version included teases of “Cities” and “Simple,” both highlights of the previous night.
***
Some quintessential Summer ’98 funk on the grandest stage of the season.
***
“Piper” 7.18.99 III
One of “Piper’s” finest versions; a thrilling ride.
***
This “Twist” provided an introspective jam that truly evoked the passage of time as the calendar turned to 2000.
***
Another psychedelic masterpiece from IT.

“Walls -> Runaway Jim > Jibboo” 8.14.04 I
Though Coventry may have been a train wreck, its opening sequence was surprisingly hot.

“2001 > Light > Slave” 11.1.09 III
The closing sequence at Festival 8.
