After a one-off gig in Toronto, Phish continued their summer tour at Ohio’s Blossom Music Center on Wednesday night, performing two stirring sets and offering the full-band debut of Ghosts of the Forest cut “A Life Beyond The Dream.”

The band kicked things off with 3.0 favorite “Soul Planet,” before seguing into funk-dance standby “The Moma Dance.” Later, after teasing “No Men In No Man Land” in “Back On The Train,” Phish played their only Kasvot Växt tune of the evening with “Everything is Hollow.”

Set two’s standout was a monster, 20+ minute “Birds of a Feather” jam which emerged out of the opening “Stealing Time From The Faulty Plan.”

The show’s highlight for setlist statisticians, however, was the “Split Open And Melt,” encore, which hadn’t been placed in that slot since November 12, 1991 (Show Gap: 1,318).

The band cooled things down a bit before bidding their fans farewell, ending the show with the aforementioned GOTF debut, marking the 12th performance of the song overall (nine times with the Ghosts of the Forest band, twice with Trey Anastasio Band, and now once with Phish).

Phish’s summer tour continues on June 21 in Charlotte, NC.
