This was my eighth Phish show and my first New Year’s Eve show, and words can’t fully capture the experience, but I’ll do my best to convey it. Holy cow, what an unforgettable night! I arrived at Grand Central a little behind schedule, but no matter, I still made it to MSG in time for the start of the first set. Rumors had been swirling beforehand about whether Gamehendge would happen. The band hadn’t played any of the songs yet on this run, and whispers of people acting in a “performance” only fueled the speculation. But nothing was certain. From my vantage point behind the stage, I arrived just in time for Everything’s Right, and off we went. The first set was rock solid, with standout versions of Reba and Taste that set the tone perfectly. The energy in the room was electric, everyone could feel something extraordinary was about to happen. The second set opened with Down with Disease, a pretty standard move, nothing unusual here. But then, wait… did I hear an “Oom Pa Pa”? Yes, it was Harpua, and suddenly it hit: Gamehendge is happening. That moment is one I’ll never forget. The entire second set was pure magic and adrenaline. The stage transformed into a rhombus, and the story unfolded. Lizards emerged to dance, Tela flew through the air, and Colonel Forbin embarked on his perilous journey to save the lizards from Wilson. The Sloth attempted to serve justice to Wilson. Battles and Llamas raged on. The AC/DC Bag in this set was particularly meaty and an absolute highlight. Ending with Divided Sky, the set was pure musical bliss from start to finish. Set break flew by as everyone buzzed about what we had just witnessed. The third set opened with McGrupp, and the highlight had to be the famous mockingbird soaring through the arena during The Famous Mockingbird—an absolutely unforgettable moment. As the clock struck midnight, it was officially New Year’s Eve, and the Gamehendge saga reached its fiery conclusion with Split Open and Melt. A strong You Enjoy Myself followed, and the encore capped off this legendary show perfectly. This was, without a doubt, the best Phish show I’ve attended and quite possibly the greatest concert I’ve ever experienced. It’s the musical high I’ll be chasing for the rest of my life, the closest thing to a perfect Phish show I’ve ever witnessed. Thank you, Phish, and this incredible community for an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime New Year’s Eve experience and the perfect first year of Phish. This show was one for the ages.

My seventh Phish show and my first-ever concert at MSG! It was definitely a fun and unforgettable experience! The first set was a blast, highlighted by a ripping Maze (as always), a strong Stash, and an exceptional version of Theme From the Bottom that stood out as a major highlight. The second set, though, was where the magic really happened. It kicked off with an amazing Chalk Dust Torture, absolutely pulsing with energy and setting the tone for the rest of the set. My Friend, My Friend was exceptionally well-played, with a great jam that transitioned smoothly into Sand. To top it off, the set ended with a stellar Harry Hood, bringing everything to an emotional and powerful close. The encore kept the momentum going, starting with a heartfelt Lonely Trip and wrapping up with a ripping Carini that sent everyone home on a high note. This was an incredible seventh show for me and a phenomenal first concert experience at MSG!

My sixth Phish show and the fourth and final night of Dick’s. I distinctly remember huddling around a tree in the lot with vendors of various goods and services, trying to stay out of the wind and rain. Thankfully, the weather didn’t last too long, and soon it was time for a Phish show or, rather, a long ass set. Despite the weather taking its toll, the band delivered a solid performance. I was personally thrilled to catch my first versions of Roggae, Gumbo, and Runaway Jim, which were definite highlights for me. While the rest of the set felt fairly standard, I’ll never complain about hearing a Harry Hood, always a treat. Night four wrapped up the Dick’s run on a bit of a subdued note due to the inclement weather, though that was no fault of the band. The playing was still enjoyable, even if nothing particularly insane stood out. Overall, it was an interesting way to conclude my first Dick’s experience and my sixth Phish show. Despite the challenges, the weekend as a whole was still unforgettable!

My fifth Phish show and night three of Dick’s, and what a memorable night it was! The day itself was beautiful, with great weather that felt like a good omen (though not a sign of what was to come the next day). I remember walking around the lot, catching the soundcheck, and distinctly hearing Old Home Place from outside the venue. The band sounded fantastic, and it was clear something special was brewing. The first set kicked off strong with Fluffhead, a perfect opener that maintained the rocking energy from the previous night. Standout moments in this set for me included great versions of My Soul, Reba, and Mound. A solid and well-paced first set overall. Set two started just as strong, with a fiery AC/DC Bag transitioning seamlessly into Chalk Dust Torture. This set was packed with highlights, including a heavy-hitting 46 Days and a good take on The Howling, but my personal favorite was the Piper, my first one and an absolutely killer version of one of my favorite phish songs to close the second set. Then there was the encore. Amazing. At 42 minutes, it felt more like a third set than a typical encore. After my first The Mango Song and Don’t Doubt Me, I would have left me satisfied, but the band just kept going, delivering an epic performance that felt like a gift. This was an amazing show and my favorite night of the run. What a way to wrap up my fifth Phish show and night three of Dick’s!

This was my fourth Phish show and the second night at Dick’s, and what a show it was! The first set featured some really solid playing and excellent song choices, with Halfway to the Moon standing out as a strong highlight. The energy carried over into the second set, which opened with a powerful Sand that delivered some great jamming that transitioned seamlessly into No Men In No Man’s Land. The set closed beautifully with Shine a Light, offering a nice way to wrap it up. But for me, definitely the highlight of the night was the encore and the ferociously rocking Wilson and Split Open and Melt that absolutely blew me away. I find myself most often revisiting that jam. It was a thrilling way to cap off a fantastic night two at Dick’s and my fourth show! Definitely a good one!

This was my third Phish show and my first time ever at Dick’s. The Carini opener was fantastic and felt like the perfect choice. It was definitely jammed out and set a great tone for the evening. The energy throughout the show was consistently good, and the band seemed locked in. My first Tweezer was a highlight for me, with some decent improvisation, and I thought the Slave to the Traffic Light was perfectly placed in the setlist, delivering a satisfying conclusion to night one. Overall, this was a solid show and a great way to kick off the Dick’s run.

This was my second show, and Derek Trucks’ appearance is the moment I find myself revisiting most often. Golden Age and everything that followed was pure musical bliss. The encore, a shredding Possum, was absolutely phenomenal and capped the night perfectly. Derek brought such a unique flavor to the music, infusing it with an unmistakable Allman Brothers and Southern Rock vibe that elevated the entire performance. The first set was rock solid, with a well-curated song selection and great energy throughout. Closing it with Harry Hood was a fantastic decision—it left everyone on a high note going into the break. Overall, this was an incredible second show and an unforgettable performance to round out the SPAC benefit shows.
