Phish came out swinging at their Shoreline Amphitheater show on Tuesday, Aug. 31.

As some may recall, the Aug. 31-Sept. 1 shows were originally supposed to take place in Lake Tahoe, but due to the area’s outbreak of wildfires, Phish moved the show to the Golden State.

In turn, they rewarded fans in spades, with an opening trio for diehards (“Glide,” “Colonel Forbin’s Ascent”> “Fly Famous Mockingbird”), their first “Axilla (Part II)” since their historic 12/31/95 show at Madison Square Garden and their third-longest jam of all time, emerging out of the second set’s opening “Soul Planet.”

In fact, according to Phish.net’s Scott Marks, the only jams to exceed the aforementioned, 47-minute “Soul Planet” were 11/29/97’s “Runaway Jim” (58:48) and 6/14/95’s “Tweezer” (50:17).

“I just want to send an incredible amount of love to everyone in Lake Tahoe that’s been effected by the Caldor Fire,” Trey Anastasio told the crowd following “Fly Famous Mockingbird.” “Especially a message of love to firefighters and emergency personnel, families. We’re all thinking of everyone there. I also want to thank our friends at Another Planet, everyone at Live Nation, the Phish crew and Phish team who made this leap to one of our all-time favorite venues.”

Later in the improv-heavy show, fans grooved through the end of the second set with a “Tela”> “Harry Hood” that even included a quick vocal nod to the late Lee “Scratch” Perry by Jon Fishman.

The show closed with an encore of “Fee” and “Wilson.”
