Phish made their debut at Wrigley Field last weekend, hitting the famed Chicago Cubs home for two nights on June 24-25. The shows were filled with highlights, including an a cappella “Space Oddity,” covers of Beatles’ “I Am The Walrus” and Led Zeppelin’s “Good Times Bad Times, and tons of great original music and jams.
Among those many great jams, the “Twist” from night one ranks highly. Clocking it at just over 15 minutes, the jam itself features elements of another original tune, “Weekapaug Groove,” in addition to its own great improvised segments. The pro-shot video that Phish has shared also shows off Chris Kuroda’s new LED lighting rig, only adding to the magic of the moment.
