Set II: Down with Disease, Ya Mar -> Prince Caspian > Maze -> Shafty -> Possum -> Jam -> Cavern

Encore: Bold As Love

Notes: This show included the debut of Shafty, which was then briefly teased by Mike and Trey in Possum. Disease, Maze, and Possum were unfinished. The funky jam in between Possum and Cavern featured some stage banter from Trey about the funk jams the band had been playing. Accordingly, Cavern was played in a slower, funkier manner than usual and included some of the older, alternate lyrics. This show is availablea... more »

This footage speaks volumes to the child like joy that must exist inside of music and inside of bands. Their curiosity for something new, continuing education, playing new instruments, and respect for the pioneers of the genre, gave Phish the credibility they needed to “pull off” bluegrass in front of thousands of reverent and loving fans. This is for those fans. The real fans. This is for all people who love and understand the civilizing power of music. This is to inspire thousands to hopefully upgrade their life by simply learning to play a musical instrument.

It was hot and humid on Tuesday June 20, 1995 – the night after the Summer Solstice - when Phish played their first headline show at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The venue was a wooden, natural parabolic amphitheater designed by Peter van Dijk and set inside the Cuyahoga Valley National Park near Cleveland. Phish had played Blossom once before in 1992 opening for Santana but this time they sold more than half of the 18,000 tickets to the eleventh show of a 22-show summer tour...

Set II: Also Sprach Zarathustra > David Bowie, Lifeboy, Sparkle > You Enjoy Myself > Purple Rain > Hold Your Head Up, Harry Hood, Suzy Greenberg

Watch Trey Anastasio of Phish accompany actors on a song from the Broadway musical "Hands on a Hardbody." 

Read The New York Times review of the show, which Charles Isherwood calls, "a cleareyed portrait of an America that’s a far cry from the fantasyland of most commercial musicals": http://nyti.ms/ZxVxRa

“When I sat down, he gave one of the most thrilling, impromptu dissertations on why the overture to `Gypsy’ is one of the most seminal pieces of American theater music,” Wright recalls. “I almost choked on my refried beans. I was like, `This guy knows his stuff.’ In that one moment, I was won over 100 percent.”

"Del McCoury, bluegrass icon, by the numbers; Phish and Jerry Lee Lewis involved"

77,000

In 1999, Phish invited the Del McCoury band to perform at the jam-band's Camp Oswego music festival in Volney, N.Y. "It was just another date, we thought," McCoury remembers. "There were only 77,000 people there."
