Phish at Holmdel, N.J. Night Two Setlist, Links and News from Around the Web



This is off the subject of tonight's Phish show at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, N.J., but how cool would it be to hear them bust out this song?

Anyway ...

So, last night's show was epic on paper and sounded great live but it didn't exactly reach the peaks we saw Phish scale at Bethel Woods. Nevertheless, I am of the opinion that, in the Phish 3.0 era, it's just good to have them performing period, no matter what they do. You can dissect a show all you want but the fact is any Phish is great Phish.

If you haven't seen it already here is a link to high-def video released by Phish playing Maze last night. You can download last night's show here, or you can purchase a soundboard copy at LivePhish.com. And of course tonight's show is streaming live at HoodStream.com. The audio quality has been excellent so settle in four the 5th night of couch tour and surrender to the flow.
