Bonnaroo | Phish

No doubt could I write quite about Phish, and their sets at Bonnaroo. They Played their first one, Friday night, from 11-about 2am, and it was a nice way to kick off a late night. And although I enjoyed that performance, I personally feel their Sunday night closing act of the festival is where all attention should be paid. They were joined at the end of their first set by The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, for "Mustang Sally", "Bobby Jean", and "Glory Days." 

All in all, they played for just over 3.5hrs from about 8:30p to 12:40a with set break around 10:30. I had the sense more than a few fans didn't feel the love for Bruce, but I'll say this, isn't that what Bonnaroo is all about? Music, collaboration and the unexpected? 

It was a treat they played past the 12:00a scheduled stop, after an string of amazing songs in the second set, Farmhouse seemed like a fitting end. Though they treated us, by playing through another five songs, ended with a reprise of "Tweezer." It was the perfect ending to 96 hours, over 150 acts and a long trip of good, new, unexpected music. Enjoy!
