Interesting that there was almost no jamming between songs. Hmmmmm. Perhaps Phish 3.0 is going to be much more song-centric than anyone anticipated? Time (turns elastic) will tell. Stay tuned ...

Boston Globe review of the show.

PHOTOS & VIDEO FROM FENWAY

Boston Herald photo gallery of the show. The Herald also published a story about pot smoking around Fenway Park (a Massachusetts ballot initiative approved last November decriminalized possession of up to an ounce of marijuana; if you're caught all you get is a $100 citation) that quotes one "Marco Esquandolas." I can't believe they were able to find him!

Absolutely killer online photo album of the show show by Phish's own photographer C. Taylor Crothers.

Here is a shot of the back of the stage from the bleacher bar inside Fenway Park before the show. Notice the trampoline on the left.

Street drummer outside the show. He's pretty bad-ass!

Here's Trey's high school senior year photo from a feature at RollingStone.com on what rock stars looked like as kids. He's already goofing it up.

During the second set.

Crowd panning video during The Moma Dance from the front of the stage, Fishman's side. Very high quality. Too bad there's not more.
