06/21/04 - Ed Sullivan Theater, New York, NY

Set: Scents and Subtle Sounds, Scents and Subtle Sounds, 2001, Wilson, Chalk Dust Torture, Tweezer > Tweezer Reprise.

Notes: Phish performed on top of the Ed Sullivan Theater's second-floor marquee at West 53rd Street and Broadway. The soundcheck earlier that day included a instrumental jam similar to "Quantegy" from Trey's solo disc "One Man's Trash." After Phish appeared around 6:20 PM, a funk jam was pumped through the speakers, possibly performed inside by Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra. The first "SASS" was taped for the Late Show with David Letterman and aired that night. Then Phish waited as an instrumental version of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" was broadcast from the speakers, again possibly from Shaffer inside the theatre. The remainder of Phish's performance was for the benefit of a few hundred fans assembled on the sidewalk across the street.

Was anyone on the OKP actually here for this?

Dave: “Where will all these people go?”

Paul: “Down under.”

The Tweezer>Reprise is pretty neat.

The second Scents is the highlight.
