Not too surprising for the Phish 3.0 that we all know and love, it seems that every night that the tour progresses we get to see our favorite band stretch out a bit on stage and play more comfortably with experimenting and improvising. Every set that they played at Festival 8 seemed to build on the one previous, and the tour so far looks to have that same progression. “David Bowie” opener last night? THAT’S what I’m talking about…
