I attended this monster show, widely regarded as one of the top 10 post-hiatus/Phish 2.0 shows. With the Destiny Unbound bustout, 30 minute Tweezer, Hood, Bowie, Gin, and Birds of a Feather, it’s not a suprise this show gets so much attention. The band lays down some of their most impressive and cohesive long improvisational jams of the later years, especially on Tweezer, Birds and Bowie.

The Dead started the day off with a morning appearance on the TV show ‘The View’ and offered up this take on Friend of the Devil with an alternate verse by Phil and only one vocal flub from Bobby:

Stop 2 of 4 was at the Angel Oranz Foundation for a matinee 5 o’clock acoustic set  by Phil, Bobby, and Warren:

The band then shuffled over to the Gramercy Theater for stop 3, with the the full band joining forces for the first time in the day. After a face-melting 20+ minute Playin’ opener, the band delivered a hit-filled performance featuring:
