Phish Shoreline Amphitheater Setlist, Show Notes, Song Stats, Latest News Stories and More

Phish finally returns to the Shoreline Amphitheater, site of the last show before the original Hiatus, and numerous other memorable musical moments over the years, including 9/17/99 when Phil Lesh sat in, playing a second bass guitar and joining in the YEM trampoline segment -- truly a sight to behold.

This stop at Shoreline means something else to me entirely this year -- two more days until my first show since Saratoga Springs 2004. That's right; The Gorge will be my first shows since Phish's return, and I am about to burst with excitement.

BTW, in case you missed it, tickets for The Gorge were re-released today.
