Come stumble my mirth beaten workers. Last night, Greensky Bluegrass kicked off their performance at the Ogden Theatre in fine fashion, as the group opened with a cover of the famed Phish tune “Chalk Dust Torture.” The show came at the end of a three night run, showcasing Greensky’s original material in full force. Opening with “Chalk Dust” was an excellent way to get the crowd rocking.

Greensky is no stranger to the Phish catalog. Back in October, they played an afternoon set before Phish’s show in Las Vegas, and filled it entirely with songs that Phish has covered. You can listen to the full show audio here.
Of course, the band played more than Phish music at the Ogden, as their two set performance was one for the books. Greensky recently released the album Shouted, Written Down & Quoted, and picked songs from that new effort and beyond. Check out the full setlist below, courtesy of Camp Greensky.
