Keeping the theme of the week going, this is the show that got it all started- Phish’s first visit to the Mothership. Featuring a terrorizing 30 minute Mike’s song in the second set that included the bands first “Rotation Jam,” Phish dropped a heavy show in the Coliseum the first time they stepped foot in the door. Starting off with a a great improvisational first set that set the palate for the dark second frame, this is a great memoir of Phish past. With three versions of Poor Heart in this show, one slower than the next, this night combined Phish’s ferocity and humor into a classic evening.
I: Poor Heart, A Day in the Life > David Bowie, Billy Breathes, Fog That Surrounds, Bouncing Around the Room, Rift, Wolfman’s Brother, Runaway Jim
