Phish Festival 8 Day Three Setlist, Photos, Latest News, Download the Show

What an experience Festival 8 turned out to be. Other than Big Cypress (which nothing will ever top or even compare to) Festival 8 was easily the best Phish event they've ever done, especially musically speaking. Phish played better than they have in a long time, and in fact Set One, Day Two is arguably one of the top five sets of music the band has ever played. I'm still blown out from Night Two, and the acoustic set. How about that Curtain With? That song set the gearshift for the high gear of my soul!

SHOW NOTES
*Someone in the crowd yelled, "Thanks for last night," and Trey replied off mic "Thank You." **Someone yelled, "Reba," and Trey said, "You're going to have to wait for that one." ***You guys sure you don't want to sit down, huh? It's the last time I'll say it but we are going to be playing a lot of mellow tunes (people did sit down) ... I've never played to a sitting down Phish crowd before."
#First time ever Rift and The Curtain With were played in the same show. ##Phish never came back to Weekapaug Groove. It would be super cool if they opened with that in Detroit to start Fall Tour 2009.

No festival will ever compare to The Clifford Ball.

every single person i talked to who went to the ball said this location was hands-down better....second only to big cypress is the consensus. the phish crowd is growing older; most of us don't want to wait in 25 hour car-lines anymore.

8 was the fucking shit - i hope they do it again there
