After a barn-burner on Tuesday night, Phish went for an introspective vibe in Nashville on Wednesday, offering up signature ballads as well as a few newer compositions.
Presumably playing to the more relaxed audience tuning in at home for a free webcast, Phish played an opening “Soul Planet” and dripped the song’s “screaming through space” lyric into the following “2001” jam. According to Scott Marks of Phish.net, this first-set “2001” was the tune’s earliest placement since 9/22/99 when it opened the show.
A string of slow-ones followed, namely “Farmhouse,” “Halfway to the Moon” and “Waste,” before Phish hit their stride on a mean “My Friend, My Friend.” The band continued on with a sinister “Maze” as well as a lengthy “Bathtub Gin,” which they took for a walk before closing the first half.
Phish kicked off set two with an unfinished “Down with Disease” that bled into Talking Heads’ “Crosseyed and Painless” and kept moving through “Scents and Subtle Sounds” and “No Men In No Man’s Land.” Stevie Wonder’s “Boogie On Reggae Woman” made its first appearance of fall tour, and the crowd was pleased to find “Harry Hood” waiting for them at the end of set two.
Phish encored with a peaking “Run Like An Antelope”

You see what I’m hunting
October 25, 2018 at 3:56 pmWe don’t go see a shows expecting them to nail every note, right??!! We take the good and the bad, the ups and the downs. Use the energy you spend complaining to excersise patience and to love one another. There is more to life that bitching about a 54 year old man missing notes on his guitar. At least the majority of you knew that was MFMF and not Guyute haha. Be well pham… enjoy the shows (both good and bad) for those of us who aren’t fortunate enough to be there in person.

October 25, 2018 at 3:19 pmthat show did nothing for me. the maze was super weak and botched. Especially considering how dark ghost was the night before this night felt soft and weak, 4 min boogie on pfff
Sinister?
October 25, 2018 at 1:36 pmA “sinister” Maze? Please…I couch’d the first set and found it pretty weak. Not here to troll, but that Maze was far from sinister. If you want a sinister Maze, try any version from the 90’s.
