First set: I feel absurd discussing song selection in a first set because, more often than not, it's just about how much you like a given song, not really how they fit together as a unit, especially in a set with as few alligator mouths as this one has. For example, I have a completely...

Watched on LivePhish webcast. Second set was just about perfect in my book. Carini, Tweezer, and Piper all were great jams. Fluffhead was played perfectly which is awesome to hear for its reappearance. The segue from Piper -> Steam was phenomenal, and Steam was the best version of the song I've...

Man Oh Man! Friday & Saturday night were hot, hot, hot...not even the Windy City could cool it down! Of course Fluffhead is always a tasty treat, and I think I heard some folks singing along "Caray" Hood and Harry "Caray" in honor of the beloved sportscaster so that was neat. I didn't get...

The mentality of Phish going into N2 of Wrigley (3rd show of the tour), was to give a performance that would stand the test of time and provide top tier legitimacy for 2016. @n00b100 referred to night 2 of the Mann last summer (08/12/2015) as when Phish appeared to be playing for bigger stakes....

Awesome show! Set one: Sample was a solid opener per usual. I know not everyone is a phan of placing jam machines like CDT,Martian Monster and Sand in S1, but they do work here for a raucus Wrigley crowd. Sure they are going to be condensed versions by comparison that don't rip into type 2...

Thought I might have to hide under my blanket for a few minutes in Carini, but then the clouds parted. Lots of "open spaces" in the jams and unexplored opportunities, without the jarring ripcord feeling of a few years ago. Nice to exceptional flow for 40 minutes into the (somehow slightly less...

Spirits were high on this night in Chicago. Fun first set especially down the stretch. Anytime Carini opens second set, you know things are gonna get serious. And they did. I have been chasing a Fluffhead for 7 years and oh how glorious it was to hear those opening notes following a very good...

This was my first couch tour show this year - looking forward to getting on the road once the boys are back in the NE. In terms of setlist construction, this one doesn't get much better in my book. Great energy throughout and tight playing. Fluffhead was nailed and it was nice to see it in...

No scene allowed outside, a lot of fans wandering around with no focus. Phish had good vibes, they played like troopers. They had fun, I had fun. Show started late, very short break, short 2nd set – neighborhood curfew. I’ve been to many Chicagoland shows, this was the worst sound system....

Phish were set to play their second and third shows of Summer Tour 2016 at Wrigley Field in Chicago on June 24 and 25. To some informed ears, tour night one up in Minneapolis had confirmed two pre-tour rumors: the band had new material to test-drive live, and they would shoot slowly out of the...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2016-06-25 • Carini (11:12) Set 2
Makes the familiar major-key pivot mid-jam and from there develops into an uplifting, well-textured groove.
2016-06-25 • Piper (8:27) Set 2
With super short intro, bridge and "Piper" jam sections, this densely compact version packs more punch than the duration suggests. The gnarly, anti-bliss jamming is driven by Mike and Fish, and sounds more like the big summer '03 versions than anything more recent. Great -> to "Steam."
2016-06-24 • Twist (15:13) Set 2
After a strong, dark, but-not-atyplical-for-"Twist" groove, the jam melts into a thumping "Ghost"-like zone before taking off for peppier, happier pastures via a "Weekapaug"-like groove (and tease) before Mike's bombs wind down yet another excellent rendition.
