Phish Kicks Off Summer Tour in Manchester After 15-Year Hiatus
Phish launched their highly anticipated summer tour last night at SNHU Arena in Manchester, NH, marking their first performance in the state in nearly 15 years. The show began energetically with the fan-favorite "The Moma Dance" and quickly transitioned into the nostalgic "Back on the Train," signaling a celebratory return to the stage.
Throughout the first set, the band showcased a blend of well-known tracks, delivering nearly 13 minutes of "Wolfman’s Brother," followed by an over 14-minute "Theme From the Bottom." Notably, "The Old Home Place," a wistful bluegrass tune, made its 2024 debut during this segment. Other highlights included "46 Days," "Birds of a Feather," and "Slave to the Traffic Light."
As the concert progressed into the second set, Phish kicked off with hits like "Bouncing Around the Room" and "Sample in a Jar." The band then ventured into an expansive 19-minute "Life Saving Gun," seamlessly flowing into an 18-minute "Twist" and a nine-minute rendition of "Piper." The robust set concluded with a captivating 16-minute stretch of "Everything’s Right."
In a surprise encore, the band delivered a three-song medley featuring "Strange Design," with lyrics reflecting the emotional challenges of being on tour, followed by "Harry Hood" and "Suzy Greenberg." Phish is set to perform again at SNHU Arena tonight, promising another night of musical magic for fans.
