Last night, Phish performed the second of their three-night stand at The Wharf Amphitheater in Orange Beach, Ala. The band noodled with several fan favorites and dusted off a “My Mind’s Got a Mind of Its Own” cover for the Cotton State affair.
The first set got underway with the title track from their 2020 LP, Sigma Oasis, providing concert-goers with an easy groove to kick off the second night of the band’s tour. Then they sped up the sound and turned up the heat with a dose of 1993’s Rift on “Possum.” They followed up with a segued pair of songs, “AC/DC Bag” > “Reba.”
Then, Phish slowed things down on “Roggae” ahead of the evening’s bust out. The upbeat twangy tune “My Mind’s Got a Mind of Its Own” was last performed on Oct. 25, 2013, at DCU Center in Worcester, Mass. The latter, originally performed by Jimmie Dale Gilmore, segued into “The Final Hurrah,” which saw Page McConnell tease in a taste of “Frankenstein.” The final song of the first set included “Free,” which initially appeared on Phish’s 1996 LP, Billy Breathes.
The second set kicked off with three segued tunes, beginning with “A Wave of Hope” into “Mr. Completely" and “Walk Away.” Then, they unleashed their talents on “Golden Age,” which segued into “What’s The Use?” > “The Moma Dance.” Finally, a tune from 1994’s Hoist bled into “Run Like an Antelope” to end the second set.
The group played “I Am in Miami” for the first song of their encores. Then, for the final number of the band’s Saturday stand, they performed a rare “Izabella.” The latter was revived in 2017 at North Charleston Coliseum in North Charleston, S.C., and performed once in 2019. Before the 2017 bust out, Phish had not played "Izabella" since July 31, 1998.
Following Phish’s Saturday night concert, the band will remain in Alabama for one last performance tonight at The Wharf Amphitheater in Orange Beach, Ala., before they travel to Charleston, S.C., on May 31 for the first of two sold-out concerts at Credit One Stadium.
