Phish at the Hartford Comcast Theatre Night Two Setlist, Download the Show

Last night's show, the opener of a four-night run that takes Phish from Hartford to the Saratoga Performing Arts Center, affectionately known to Phish-heads and others as SPAC, was blistering. Blistering, but at the same time, a little choppy. What was perhaps the most interesting part of the show was that Phish pulled out a lot of Cow Funk throughout the night in places where you wouldn't so much expect to hear it, like the whole Mike's Groove segment (at least, that's the way I heard it).

And then there was the whole Sand -> The Horse portion of set two. People in the HoodStream.com chat rooms were complaining that it sounded awful, but what was missed on them was the fact the Phish has never, in the band's entire history, played Sand -> The Horse. Phish did, on 12/18/1999 in Hampton, break out a Horse -> Sand -> Silent in the Morning. I know I've heard that show but don't recall that segue at all. Sounds like I need to go back and listen again --  perhaps all of us do. Here is a link to download that show if you don't already have a copy.

Of course, you can listen to a live stream of tonight's Phish show (hopefully) from the Comcast Theatre in Hartford, Connecticut over at HoodStream.com

And speaking of HoodStream.com, if you have not read it already Joephus, one of the original eight founders and operators of HoodStream.com, sat down with TheWagger for an interview discussing how the idea of streaming shows live via an iPhone came about, and what it takes for everyone working together to stream each show, each night. It's not as easy as you might think. Click here to read the entire exclusive interview.
