TTFW: The End of 2010

12-30-2010—MSG (Graham Lucas)

The time between Fall Tour and New Year’s Run did little to derail Phish’s building momentum. Set to return to Worcester and Madison Square Garden—the exact venues of the ’95 Holiday Run—for an unprecedented five nights, fans were flying high to take on the most extensive year-end run in history. And the band’s playing did not disappoint. Though only one of the five shows really came together as a complete two-setter (1/1/11), the run produced ample highlights as the band completed a tremendous year of progression and playing. It would be almost six months before we greeted the band again in Bethel, but after the holiday run—the musical exclamation point on 2010—the time felt a heck of a lot different than this off season does.

2010’s Holiday Run featured six central jams—”Seven Below -> What’s the Use?,” “Harry Hood,” “Tweezer,” “Sand,” “Ghost,” and “Simple”—and plenty of supporting music to go along with them. Today’s playlist is comprised these selections and more as we continue our audio retrospective on this era.

    Watched a little of Ken Burns’ Baseball on PBS earlier. Chalkdust Torture during the BoSox/Yankee brawl was entertaining. At first I thought he might be a head, but I’m fairly certain it was the album version. A head would have picked a unique live version.

    I’ve got a buddy looking to unload SPAC run for face. He’s got lawns first two nights and pav’s the 3rd. He would prefer not to split them up. Pair for each night.
