We hear die hard phans were handing out fliers to remind the sold out crowd at MSG that it was the 26th anniversary of Phish's first concert and they should sing Happy Birthday before the 1st set in unison. That didn't seem to catch on... we guess they were just too excited for the band to start their first appearance back at the garden since NYEve '02.
Playing some old favorites like 'Sample in a Jar,' 'Golgi Apparatus' and 'Tweezer' and covering the Beatles 'A Day in the Life' to kick off the encore, the boys did not disappoint with a 4 hour show. The phans are sure excited for tonight, the 2nd of a 3 night run in NYC but clearly the anniversary celebration will have to hold off until next December.
