After reuniting for New Year’s of 2002, Phish kept the magic alive during a potent winter tour of 2003. While 2/26 and 2/28 are often looked upon as the top shows from the run, the band kept things in top form for the next performance in Greensboro, NC. The Greensboro Coliseum was shaken to the foundation, as Phish opened with “Chalk Dust Torture” and never looked back.
Some highlights of many include a “Piper” with “Oye Como Va” and “Another One Bites The Dust” teases, a bust-out of the traditional “Carolina” for the appropriate setting (interestingly, the song hasn’t been played since), and a fun encore that included a “First Tube > You Enjoy Myself,” and featured a vocal jam that transitioned into an a cappella rendering of CCR hit “Proud Mary.”
Thanks to BurningShoreProphet2, we have full video of the show. Enjoy!
