Phish came out today after playing almost 12 hours of the some of the most expansive and mind blowing music I’ve ever heard them play over past three days, successfully throwing one of the greatest musical events in recent history. The weather looked torrential in the area with storms and floods...

An absolutely perfect show on a perfect night in Dover. I’m completely speechless. I started going to Phish shows many years ago and tonight was my 380th. I just love everything about this band and tonight truly blew my mind. I will forever be grateful for these incredible experiences and for the...

We have now entered uncharted territory folks. Whatever it was we witnessed tonight was some new evolution in music and multimedia art the likes of which I’ve never seen. The absolutely mind-bending fuckery that went down in the 3rd set should’ve come with a warning that any psychological...

Typing as I come down from this amazing night of music. The stars aligned for Mondegreen to be my first Phish shows, and night 3 I dropped my dose back in the Shadows in the Trees. Set one hit plenty of major peaks, with Jibboo really getting things cooking. The first set tonight rivals the...

Tonight was my 378th show and I don’t know if I’ve ever heard the band sound so incredible. The experience was mind blowing and the jams were amazing. Being at this festival feels really special. I can’t wait to see what the next few nights are like. Thank you so much Phish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mondegreen was epic. All of the three nights (especially Friday & Saturday) that preceded this show can (and will) stand up with some of the all-time greats. The thing that really amazes me is the seemingly endless ways the band can deliver 5/5 shows. Mondegreen was almost a reverse baker’s dozen...

Phish should have been able to change the weather and invent new types of weather prediction so that I could see one more hour of music at night. Not sure when the band got so lazy with this stuff but it seemed like they could have easily done so much more to alter the planets climate. I mean...

Tonight was my 379th show. I don’t know how they do it but I’m once again left speechless. What an incredible experience. Truly mind blowing is every sense the imagination. This festival is magical. And we still have two shows left! Thank you for another night I’ll never forget, Phish!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the most fun I've ever had at a Phish show--or at any concert. Absolutely impeccable sound quality at the venue, fantastic musicianship from all four members of the band, killer song selection, diverse jamming, and above all exclusively positive vibes among the crowd. Mike's Groove was...

Now let's get one thing straight. Mondegreen ruled, and it was probably the greatest weekend of my life. However this show was a complete bummer. Not because it wasn't good, I think it raged. But that this show was a complete and utter disaster in other ways. The move to 1pm was actually not...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2024-08-18 AC/DC Bag (8:31) Set 1
"Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" is becoming a "big show" tease (see 9/1/12 and 4/18/24, respectively). Here, Trey and Page again team up, finding in Adderly's melody a means to considerably brighten this "Bag". Easygoing play swings a bit like "Gin" jamming, before a really rad return to the song's theme at 7:30 fuels a fiery finish.
2024-08-18 Bathtub Gin (12:29) Set 1
It doesn't take long for this "Gin" to abandon its usual approach and morph into a warped electro-funk groove. > "Izabella".
2024-08-18 Fuego (16:32) Set e
Following a strong composed section, the version gains greater momentum come 7:30. Laser-focused breathless jamming becomes unhinged late (some really cool sound) before, pushed by Fish, play becomes wildly percussive and, again, impressively air-tight.
Soaring play from Trey is underscored masterfully by Mike's thunderous bass. There's even some nifty playing even after the jam finds its way back to the "Jibboo" riff as it seems as if not everyone was ready for the return.
2024-08-17 46 Days (10:32) Set 1
A heavy, listener-unfriendly jam which utilizes brooding effects more than traditional harmony to create a nightmarish industrial soundscape.
Big festival version goes deep at the Woodlands in Dover as one course in the middle of an absolutely stacked second set entree -> "Tweezer".
2024-08-17 Tweezer (19:32) Set 2
The second of a potent 1-2-3 punch, this "Tweezer" initially stews in layered psychedelic funk fitting for its festival setting, before shifting towards eruptive, celebratory rock. Mike's seismic bass bombs provide a platform for Trey's pumped-up blues rock heroics, before a return to the "Tweezer" theme signals a denouement, dissolving into scratchy guitar loops and > "Scents and Subtle Sounds".
Call and response between Page and Trey sets the tone early, as the jam gradually but surely grows more psychedelic. A repeated riff from Trey then fires up the intensity, with Page and Mike's agile effects-based play helping to create a harmonically minimalist, but texturally dense sonic landscape.
2024-08-16 Ruby Waves (15:16) Set 2
Bananas - there's possibly something like six (or whatever) key changes - Phish arguably performs a parody of a "Type II" Phish song. While there may be segments one might not recommend, it's almost as if there's willful-sh*t in this version. And so perhaps you'd rec. it all. It's crazed. The ending might leave you thinking, "WTF?", too. Awesome. > "Pillow Jets."
> from "Ruby Waves," the jam (once through the song) is more an interlude, a punishing kaleidoscope of sound sure to please shoegazers and those with their heads in the clouds. Terrific outro-cum-drawn-out segue for a rabid "YPC."
> from "Pillow Jets," the song, some of the faster Phish you’ll hear these days (this version, anyway), functions as an extension of the set's sound, "YPC's" signature-lick taking several speedy laps before Trey breaks to solo, at points melodically, and hammer the -> drawing out "Ruby Wave's" conclusion.
2024-08-16 Ruby Waves (0:44) Set 2
> from "YPC" to complete the version.
2024-08-16 Fluffhead (16:07) Set 2
In keeping with Phish's renewed appreciation for faithful performances of their classic material, this version is distinguished not only by high-level execution through "Fluff's" most challenging passages, but also by an incendiary "Arrival" section, with Trey sending sheets of euphoric sound throughout the Woodlands of Dover.
Trey dials up a friendly fest opener, the band eschewing "funk" in favor of warm, inviting play, with (these days) unsurprisingly sprite Trey, solid Mike, offset by particularly plucky contributions from Fish and Page.
An expansive, Festival Phish worthy take that sees the band casting a wide net through multiple sections. As the initial "Wolfman's" muck-funk jam breaks apart, the band then passes through multiple vignettes, including a "Cissy Strut" tease, an extended passage of sunset psych-grooves, and a near-pivot towards "Heavy Things" that instead catalyzes an anthemic peak section, before returning to the "Wolfman's" theme to close.
