Phish @ Madison Square Garden


Phish kicked off their four night New Year’s run at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, with the first-ever “Free” opener. The solid first set also included: “The Ballad of Curtis Loew,”  “Glide,” “Bathtub Gin,” and “Contact.”

“Birds of Feather” began the second set which then then began an extended segue that started with “Carini,” which led into a “Tweezer” before moving into “My Friend, My Friend,” and a rocking(pun intended) “Rock and Roll,” followed by “NICU.”  

Phish also made University of Tennessee football fans happy by possibly playing one of the only versions of “Rocky Top” to be heard during bowl season this year in the encore before closing out the show with “Tweezer Reprise.”

Phish returns to MSG tonight for show #3.
