Wow, that was really good! I can't believe the best Phish set this year is going to be a one-setter at a large festival. LOL but really, whatever sound mixing that they used for the Sirius XM radio was insanely crisp and it produced a great audio experience listening along with the setlist thread...

What the real fans are saying: The new lights rock. Thanks for playing a High-energy show. After hours of mediocre Music played before Phish, I was ready For all the other bands to: stop stop stop stop stop. Tweezer can be in every 1st set and I'll Never complain. Because I'm a fan of...

i dont know what is with all the negative criticism... Phish knows that no one from worcester was going to be at bonnaroo.. worcester rocked, and Phish treated the fans of bonnaroo to some great tunes from the previous shows.. to all of us that sit at home and listen on couch tour, we cant...

This was by far one of my favorite phish shows..........We made our way to the first main stage around 5:30 so we could be close for phish.........snoop dog came on 30 minutes late.....that was a good time.... then the beastie boys.......before they came on stage I was standing in the crowd and I...

That 'Rock n Roll" is epic. This would be a good show to play for someone who's not heard much Phish. A friend of mine who doesn't love Phish really liked the show. Still should have finished Hood..

Agree 100% with Corey. I was there and have seen many great shows over the past couple decades and dispute any of the criticisms I've read. Repeating songs makes no difference to me as I was at Bonnaroo all weekend, not in Worcester, just like everyone else there. I've seen a bazillion Hood's,...

A couple of coherent thoughts for the record: When Phish started Set Your Soul Free, it was immediately evident to my ears that there was something different from both St. Louis shows and the first Bonnaroo late night set: they sounded like they wanted to be there. SYSF and Blaze On both...

I was in the crowd, and it all sounded pretty good. Not very fluid though, the flow seemed to be off and the crowd was not your normal phish crowd so the energy was off too. Biggest let down was the jambing, they never seemed to get it going or hit a stride. It was totaly worth the trip for...

This was an interesting little show! Polarized opinions abound, as was the case with the 2011 MSG NYE run when numerous phans were attentively watching the webcast in the comfort of their own homes...and, in some cases, the discomfort of their own expectations. The numerous repeats from Worcester...

On the night of a full moon, Phish delivers perhaps their best ever performance at a festival that isn't their own! Set Your Soul Free gets the place moving, and Blaze On delights once again! Blaze On impresses with a fiery and unique peak. The band nails the Reba composed section, but the...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2009-06-12 • Kill Devil Falls (15:18) Set 1 Noteworthy
The first "Type II" version. Led by Trey, the jam slowly drifts from the typical blues-rock into a whammy-filled, major-key groove not unlike the famous 7/10/99 "CDT" in spots. Ends with a -> to "Free."
A hidden gem in a stand-alone festival set. Buried 9 minutes in is an abrupt but welcome left turn to blissier grooves, and multiple pleasant and sizable peaks unfold on the back of Mike's rolling bass. At 11:20, a thematic tone poem introduced by Trey builds up to a sustain-drenched peak.
