Notes: This show, performed on the What Stage, closed out the 2009 Bonnaroo Festival. Before Mustang Sally, Trey remarked that he had seen a show at Jadwin Gym at Princeton University when was 12 (apparently referring to a 11/1/78 performance by Bruce Springsteen at this 3,000 seat venue, though Trey would have been 14 at the time), and added that Phish would now have an opportunity to play with one of his heroes, Bruce Springsteen. Springsteen joined in on guitar and vocals for Mustang Sally, Bobby Jean and Glory Days. Mustang Sally was played for the first time since August 5, 1988 (1,273 shows). This show marked the Phish debuts of Bobby Jean and Glory Days. Rock and Roll included a brief Rift tease. Limb By Limb contained a Dave’s Energy Guide tease. Caspian was unfinished.
Maybe it was because i wasn't 3 rows back this night, but it felt more like a festival performance than friday's set. i was happy with the first set song selection but nothing too fancy jam wise until we get to the antelope.....which i lost my marbles on. i was running around the field dancing with anyone and everyone in sight. the absolute highlight of my night.....i had my eyes closed and was deep in the jam on either tweezer or first tube when i feel a tap on my shoulder. i open my eyes to a complete stranger with a huge smile on his face and wide open arms. we embrace in a phish love hug and them he goes on his way. i love this band and our phamily
