In our second installment of Welcome To Now Picks from Phish’s MSG NYE run, we examine our favorite jam from night 2 of NYEMSG part deux. The hand’s down best jam sequence from 12/29 is the second set center-piece of Mike’s Song -> Chalkdust Torture -> I Am Hydrogen -> Weekapaug Groove.

The unexpected Chalkdust sandwich, near flawless segue into I Am Hydrogen, and ripping 10+ minute Weekapaug Groove elevate this song series above the rest of the night. The energy is soaring throughout this run of songs, and the boys really seems locked in. Obviously the band felt this performance was worth re-visiting as well, based on the fact that they choose it as the one official video to release from the 29th. Enjoy this tasty groove!

Bob Weir and Bruce Hornsby have added a second show on April Fool’s day (4/01/2012) to their already announced ‘Alone and Together’ show at the Fox Theater in Oakland on March 31st. One show just wasn’t enough to fulfill the deadhead love in the bay area, it’s great to see that our love has really not faded away. Here’s a blast from the past, a wonderful performance of Standing on the Moon from Bruce Hornsby and another WTN favorite, Trey Anastasio, from the Comes a Time tribute to Jerry Garcia on 9/24/2005:

You can get tickets for the newly announced show at Ticketmaster. The APE presale begins this Thursday at 10AM (password is layover) and the public on sale begins on Friday, also at 10AM. The first show sold out lightning fast, so grab em’ while you can phans!
