Phish Alpine Valley Night Two Setlist, Photos, Downloads, Show Details and More

Sunday night marked Phish's final performance on the first leg of Summer Tour 2009, and they closed out by dropping a bomb in Alpine Valley over the last two nights. The shows are f-ing great and well-worth downloading -- I know I plan on listening to them a lot in the car this summer. Alpine Valley this year became the Valley of the Breakout with many songs making their first appearance since Phish started playing again.

Also, it's been a blast listening to all but three of the shows live, streaming over the Internet thanks to WigMan and a few other intrepid devotees. It made for an unforgettable June!

This has nothing to do with Alpine Valley, but I found this list of the 50 worst band names of all time, and Phish comes in at No. 43.
