![]() ![]() The jam eventually fizzled out into a quick “Sparkle”, which was followed by a fun “Run Like An Antelope” that heard Trey Anastasio in classic exploration mode, working his way through the jam with ease as he searched for the perfect combination of notes. Phish got the second set on the road with a 15-minute speed-funk “AC/DC Bag” featuring a tease of “Electric Funeral” by Black Sabbath. After a swampy run through “Roggae”, the band quickly played “Bouncing Around The Room” before closing things out with a raging thirteen-minute “David Bowie”. Hot versions of “The Moma Dance” and “Birds Of A Feather” came next, and quickly followed by rarity “Esther”. A rare first set version of Gamehendge favorite “The Lizards” followed and helped to keep the energy at ridiculous levels. Opening with “Punch You In The Eye”, the band then delivered an early standout jam, stretching out an early “Bathtub Gin” to over fifteen minutes long. Phish kicked things off with a smokin’ first set. ![]() With August 9th marking the third anniversary of Garcia’s untimely passing, fans were eager to see what, if anything, the band had in store to honor the Grateful Dead leader.

Terrapin Station At 40: All-Star Artists Discuss The Impact Of The Grateful Dead’s ’77 Studio Masterpiece With that in mind, few moments in Phish history stand out as much as the encore on August 9th, 1998, when Phish blessed the audience at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater with a very special cover of the Grateful Dead‘s 1977″Terrapin Station” suite, a passage played in tribute to Jerry Garcia on the third anniversary of his death. With Halloween musical “costume sets,” wild New Years Eve gags, huge bust-outs, and zany antics, the band has made a career playing the right songs at the right moments. The quartet’s ability to meet the moment and exceed expectations is what keeps fans coming back night after night, tour after tour, year after year. Phish has provided some memorable moments (to say the least) over the years.
