PHOTOS / SETLIST: Phish @ Madison Square Garden NY, NY 12/28/12

Phish kicked off their final shows of 2012 and the first of a four-night run at Madison Square Garden in New York City last night. The band took the stage a little after 8:15pm and opened with 2009’s “Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan.” The band was in high spirits right off the bat but kept the song selection and jams inside the box until the set closing “Wolfman’s Brother.” This version contained some great work from Page McConnell on keys and slid into a full band tease of “Little Drummer Boy” (Last played, April 16, 2004) before segueing back into “Wolfmans.” Check out our photo gallery and recap after the jump.
Entering the arena’s back entrance for the press was an experience in itself. Walking through the hallowed hallways and down the elevator was a trip. You could sense the history that’s taken place between the walls and it’s inspiring to say the least. And yes the bouncin’ floor makes it very hard to keep your camera steady!
See you tonight!
