Phish caps off their run in Chicago tonight with the #NeverMissASunday hashtag looming. The first two nights (7/18, 7/19) have delivered a hand-full of highlights but we think tonight could be the one where Phish lays it all out on the stage, especially with four days off this week. With a smaller rotation so far this summer, it’s only a matter of time before a bust-out heavy show rears it’s head. Songs like “Scents & Subtle Sounds”, “Fee”, “Cars Trucks Buses”, and “Tela” are all in play and if Phish decides to kick off the second set tonight with a jammed out cover of “Drowned”, you won’t hear us complaining. Follow along for setlist and tweets from the sideline!
Phish @ FirstMerit Bank Pavilion, Chicago, IL – 7.20.14

Not many people put extra mustard on their Lou Malinati's pizza, but @pagemcconnell does, and it shows in this #gumbo

Forget the jammed out Hoods. There is no better sign as to the state of #phish than that they are jamming the fuck out of Wedge.
