Last night, Feb. 23, Phish launched their annual destination event at the Moon Palace Riveria Maya in Cancún, Mexico. After a day of beautiful art installations, loving reunions and high winds, which resulted in no sound check, the band launched into a single-set performance, dishing out favorites for their globetrotting fans.
They opened the evening with a pristine "Harry Hood," which made many fans realize that the environment they've been chasing has been realized. The band then moved into a grooving rendition of "The Moma Dance," which led into "Back on the Train" and "My Friend" during the tail end. After allowing "My Friend" to be completed in its entirety, Phish performed their beachside pairing of "Sand" and "Sample in a Jar."
The lights began to bounce off palm trees as they elevated their welcome to the party show as they played "Yar Mar," "Roggae," and "Cars Trucks Buses." Phish continued to raise the heat as they rounded out the set with "Blaze On" > "Twist" > a scorching "Bouncing Around the Room," before they closed the frame with a song to match the feeling above the fresh beachside air "Free." The band encored with "46 Days," extending their invitation to be present and joyful once more and into the next day.
Phish will continue their celebration at the Moon Palace Riviera Maya in Quintana Roo, Mexico, tonight. Enjoy all 4-nights of Phish live from the beach at Riviera Maya Mexico at LivePhish.com through Feb. 26 here.
