Phish - “Torn and Frayed”
Phish’s Halloween show was hands down the greatest concert experience of my life. It was the most professional, soulful, and happy I think I’ve ever seen the band, and one of the greatest crowds I’d ever been part of. You could see the pride in their eyes as they played Exile On Main Street with care and respect, while still making it unique and their own.
I myself have never been more proud to be a fan of this band, especially during “Torn and Frayed.” The lyrics just spoke to the hope and belief of Phish 3.0:
And his coat is torn and frayed,
It’s seen much better days.
Just as long as the guitar plays
Let it steal your heart away,
But the exclamation point came half way through the album with “Loving Cup,” which the band covers regularly. It was the best version they’ve ever played, and just blew away everyone. The energy in the crowd was unreal and it carried over into the 3rd set of the night, in which we were treated to the best versions this year from some of their heavy hitters.
I’ll never, ever forget this Halloween!
