Phish finished up their first of three nights at the Barcelo Maya resort at Riviera Maya, Mexico just now and the band really delivered on a solid first night kickoff. Talk about making that long journey and high price tag worth it.
The band sound-checked yesterday and got the fans stoked to see some new stuff like “Plasma” and the Kasvot Växt tunes from Halloween 2018.
The show was webcast live at LivePhish.com and we watched the show from the couch, breh (#CouchTour #Heady4Lyfe).

I was always hoping Spock’s would return after Mike started playing it with his own band in 2014. Fingers crossed it’s here to stay and not just a one time bustout. #phish
