Phish finished off their summer 2018 tour triumphantly with a three-night run at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado.
Following the devastating news that Curveball was to be cancelled, fans really needed a set of good shows to rely on to help ease their pain of not getting to cherish memories of the 11th Phish festival that never was. And the Dick’s run fully delivered on that promise, which was good news to fans at the shows and fans watching at home on the couch.
And we all got even more good news that Phish will be returning to Mexico’s Riviera Maya in early 2019 for their third destination vacation, so the future is bright as a Phish fan and that is something we are cherishing fully.
Our friend Paul Citone was on hand to shoot the Dick’s run, something I’ll always cherish, so scroll down for his full gallery from night two. —Editor
