I made the trip to Cincinnati on Saturday to catch Phish's second and final show at U.S. Bank Arena. The show featured some great jamming with the band clearly enjoying themselves on stage. Highlights for me included a very funky "Wolfman's Brother", a mind splitting "Split Open & Melt", and a fantastic version of "Rock and Roll", which segued into "Ghost"
For me though, the best part of the night was the middle of the first set. It was a real treat to hear "Torn and Frayed", "Ginseng Sullivan" and "Albuquerque". This is getting me very excited for this weekend, when I will travel to Albany for both shows. I logged just over 600 miles in my car in a little over 24 hours, but it was worth every mile.
