Phish getting the Fall Tour started in Colorado!

Holy heck that was a killer show! Second set was beyond top notch. Trey really seemed to be in a goofy mood. For proof, give this Makisupa a listen! Speaking of listening- if you have a ticket stub to this show (or any of the shows this tour actually), make sure you head over to LivePhish and redeem your free (but really you paid for it) MP3 copy of the show!

Phish flooded the 1stBank Center with its uniquely explosive, animated jam nuggets Sunday night, thrilling the sold-out arena with yet another feast for Colorado.

With the spotlight spread evenly across the quartet, Phish tunneled into its funkiest realms Sunday night. Guitarist Trey Anastasio set the pace early with rambling, off-piste turns inside "Ocelet," a number from the band's most recent album, "Joy," which was released last year.

Keyboardist Page McConnell's crooning on the semi-rare "It's Ice," exemplified the newest version of the 27-year-old band, in which each musician plays a defining role.

Bassist Mike Gordon fueled a diversion in the middle of the first set, veering from hisdeep-end finish on "Bouncing Around the Room" into a supremely funky "Funky Bitch."

As McConnell shuffled from grand piano to his Leslie-speakered Hammond B organ, Gordon drove into a deeply anchored and syrupy "AC/DC Bag."

The dance-friendly "Moma Dance" propelled the venue into a writhing frenzy. Lightman Chris Koruda, truly the fifth member of Phish, splashed the whirling mass as if he were a paint-flinging Jackson Pollock and the room his cavorting canvas.

Weaving an up-and-down story line rife with tickling teases and taunts, the Vermont-spawned foursome launched their fall tour with an anticipated first-of-three show that marked their first indoor performance in the state since 2003.
