[DID NOT ATTEND: August 13, 2021] Phish [rescheduled from August 14, 15 & 16, 2020]
Phish (like everyone else) postponed their 2020 tour, which was going to stop in Atlantic City for three nights. I didn’t think I could manage three nights driving back and forth to Atlantic City (both physically and familially), so I chose two. Saturday and Sunday. Two years later and the shows finally went on as scheduled and I did not go to the Friday show (because of course I assumed Saturday would be the killer night).
Turns out Friday was pretty amazing and, I think I would have preferred the Friday to the Saturday. If for no other reason that Fish did a vacuum cleaner solo–something I’ve never seen in person.
The main reason to see Phish over and over is to see if you can catch all of their songs at some point. The Friday show also proved to chock full of songs I hadn’t see before:
Cars Trucks Buses
AC/DC Bag
Wolfman’s Brother
I Didn’t Know
Possum
So from my perspective it would have been a great show. Fortunately, my Saturday and Sunday shows (especially the Sunday show) were pretty great.
You haven’t seen a Wolfman’s Brother or Possum???
Can you believe it? Possum is one of their most played songs! I’ve also never seen a Prince Caspian! OR STASH??!!
Sunday was my 11th show. What are the odds?
