Phish’s 2010 Fall Tour was one phans won’t soon forget. From three nights in Colorado, to a pair of shows in the Carolinas, the ‘Guyutica’ show in Utica, and finally three nights in Atlantic City for Halloween where they would tease Led Zeppelin up and down on October 30th before donning Little Feat’s Waiting for Columbus as their musical costume, the tour was a great precursor for all the dividends the band is collecting now.

Not forgotten, but perhaps neglected, Phish’s 10/26/10 concert at Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, NH is one in a line of standout shows from the tour. Beginning with an “After Midnight” opener, the first since Big Cypress’ epic version (12/31/99), the set gave way to fan favorite and classic Phish tune, “Alumni Blues” with the appropriate “Letter To Jimmy Page” sandwiched between. Bob Marley’s “Mellow Mood” would find its way into the first set, as would “Access Me” and “All of These Dreams,” two rarely played songs before closing with an energy packed “It’s Ice” > “Walls Of The Cave.”

The second set got things underway with “Possum” and didn’t stop until the band played the final notes of “Llama Reprise.” Yes, you read that correctly, “Llama Reprise.” Containing a “Makisupa Policeman” with Gregory Isaacs‘ “Night Nurse” wedged into it, what more could you ask for from a set like this? Oh, just a “Ghost” > “The Mango Song” > “Weekapaug Groove” sequence. Not bad for a nights work.
