After a shaky opening frame on night one of two at the Phish run in Alpharetta, the rest of the weekend at the mid-sized shed in the Atlanta suburbs was golden and Saturday’s show, on the whole, certainly ranks high for the band in 2016. Wesley Hodges has photos from night one of yet another massively successful Georgia run to follow last summer’s blowout shows at Lakewood. You can watch all of night two’s show here and night one here. —Editor
