Phish had an off day yesterday but arrived early in Chicago after a triumphant two-night run down in Georgia, which gave Mike Gordon just enough time to stop by Second City and get his improv on. Today in the midst of a sweltering heat the band will take the stage for the first of three nights at Chicago’s Northerly Island and people are watching along on Couch Tour via the LivePhish.com webcast. Follow along with us for the setlist and tweets from the show…
Phish @ Northerly Island, Chicago (Night One) 7/19/13
Set I: Suzy Greenberg, Wolfman’s Brother, Backwards Down the Number Line, It’s Ice, Moma Dance, My Soul, Scent of a Mule, 46 Days, Limb by Limb, Julius
Set II: Down with Disease, Prince Caspian*
* Prince Caspian cut short when Page was alerted that the venue will be evacuated to a storm on its way towards the venue. There was potential the band would return but the band officially announced it was over via Twitter.

Boogie got a Margarita in a Can. Cost $14 and tastes horrible. "Biggest regret I made in a long time."

Julius ends 75 min set. Saw lightning in distance. Boogie showed me the radar…looks like a storm is coming.

Unfortunately, that's it for the night. Again, the venue has been evacuated due to a storm that is approaching the area.
