I was welcomed back to MSG on night 2 by the same usher I had the previous night. I brought with me a co-worker who was curious about Phish. He told me he didn't listen to them at all before the show, just one song on Spotify called "Farmhouse" he thought was cool.

For this night, and the only night of the run I was behind the stage. BOTT > Disease was as solid as a 1-2 punch they could have chosen here. I was very stoked to hear my first Bug, its a lovely tune. Next was the dreaded Sugar Shack, my first time getting shacked. Yeah I could have passed but ive heard worse Phish songs. Highlight of this first set was the moonage daydream which re-injected life into MSG - (it would be back later) - solid version and a solid set. B-

Set two gets us going again with a wedge, pretty whatever choice. What would be next? How about a 30 min fuego jam chart for the ages? - definitely the best jam of the night here, and you should listen to it. It was loud where I was behind the stage and i was definitely engulfed in this one.

Alright, i never heard wingsuit live before and i was happy to catch one from high and above the stage. it was a cool vantage point for a cool song. it met my expectations 100% - 2001 up next was high energy. MSG got LOUD - now its always loud but this was LOUD it was a simultaneous explusion of good vibes by this crowd and set the tone for the band to have some fun with HYHU and Cacklin Rosie. Phish being phish. Trey remarked something about this being someones first phish show and being confused. Well it was my coworkers first show, he was confused, and we had a laugh.

What was truly remarkable was that as they came out for the encore, they played farmhouse, the one song my co worker knew and liked. that was odd and funny. we enjoyed it and a ripping, raging first tube before making the descent down the street to get back on the train.

Night 2 might be the lowest rated of the run but I promise it was still good and fun.
