Phish is about to take the stage at Glens Falls Civic Center for their first time playing the venue since their first-ever Halloween costume show where they cover The Beatles The White Album. They are webcasting the show via LivePhish.com and we’ll be tuned in tonight on #CouchTour, so follow along for the setlist and some tweets from the show.
Phish @ Glens Falls Civic Center, NY 10/23/13
Set I: Back in the U.S.S.R., Stealing Time from the Faulty Plan, Water in the Sky, Undermind, David Bowie, Golgi Apparatus, Gumbo, Yarmouth Road, Camel Walk, Horn, Limb by Limb, I Didn’t Know, Split Open and Melt
Set II: Rock and Roll > Seven Below, Alaska > Twist, Wading in the Velvet Sea, Harry Hood > Chalk Dust Torture
Encore: While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Notes from the sideline:
Trey got his dance on during “Gumbo”. During “I Didn’t Know” Trey joked that he had waited 19 years to see “if he would do it again” referring to Fishman getting naked during the 1994 show. During setbreak, the band confirmed on the webcast that they would be broadcasting the Halloween run via LivePhish.com. “Twist” featured a power drill jam by Mike.

Raise your hand if there was a half-second during Back to the USSR where you thought they might just play the whole album again.

Very cool funk breakdown in this Gumbo end. I liked Trey's little dance.

Pre vac solo Trey: you've been waiting 19 years for this. Will he do it? Or won't he?

Is Phish pulling a Spinal Tap here? Can they not find the stage?

I heard it if you did RT @zzyzx: Did that Alaska start out as Ocelot?
