[1] Phish debut; Fish on vacuum.

Notes: This show was webcast via Live Phish. The Birds was teased and quoted during the segue between Theme and Cities. Trey teased Manteca in the Cities jam. The Phish debut of Dem Bones began a cappella, then Fish moved to vacuum. The song was then stopped because, Trey said, the vacuum had become stuck to Fish’s face. Fish went behind the stage with Brian to fix the problem, and Mike suggested they switch it “from suck to blow.” There was the sound of a small explosion and the lights went out. A giant inflatable Fishman then emerged from behind the stage and took off over the crowd, while the balloon drop, including Henrietta donut balloons, occurred and the band played Auld Lang Syne.

That second set, especially Ghost. Wow.

Just listened to this for the first time since the beginning of January.

Even though set 3 fizzles somewhat, the first 40 minutes of 2015 were so tranquil and blissful jamz.

Set 2 was A+ all around, can’t really deny that.

Might be my favorite musical NYE of 3.0.

The Tweezer->Simple is mighty smoove :sunglasses:
