Phish at Toyota Park, Chicago Setlist

Phish broke out Paul and Silas tonight for the first time in 11 years, played some other rarities, and debuted a new song. Not only are they firing on all cylanders performance-wise, they are reaching deep into their catalogue and breaking out songs everyone could only dream about hearing again before their 2004 split. All in all they played five new songs tonight, something they haven't done since the Billy Breathes era.
