I decided that I'd like to hear highlights from all the shows this year, Especially after listening to the couple I downloaded and listend to in whole or part. I pulled up the setlists and made a Quick list of all the songs i'd appreciate hearing live. I made my choices based on just a few quick thoughts of song-placement, how rare or special a performance of a song might be, and just over-all because Phish Rocks!

I was lucky enough to attend Deer Creek, bought a ticket i didn't use for Alpine, (because of a suspended drivers license,) Cobo Arena (my first Tour-Opener) and the 1st night of Cinci_NASTY! Each performance of the shows I saw this year were better than the one before it which is what influenced me to make this little seed. So, for all the Fans that need proof it's a constantly growing, loving, changing, killing, rail-roading, demon... Here it is.. Upper-Page-Side, Trey's Bobble-head, Mike's Figth-Bell, and Fish's eight-fists-of-fury... In Lossless quality. Enjoy.

*=Debut unless otherwise Noted

two shows were Omitted: 6/5/09 Jones Beach and 10/31/09
Jones Beach beacuse i couldn't locate a decent source and
10/31/09.. just because the whole show seems like a Highlight to me... From thinking that Phish may never play again to a Hampton-run Reunion, and an Amazing two-leg summer tour to stand on.. just the Simple Fact that they Played a Halloween show /w an Album Cover costum is a highlight to me!

Phish.Net, Phishthoughts.com, Jamtopia, Yemblog.com
Phantasytour.com, all The Tapers and fellow Fans, My Brother, Jamie who introduced me to a band that I swore for years i would never like more than PiNK FLoyD,
