OVERHEARD: LIVE IN CONCERT

Looking back at Phish at Fenway

With Phish Kicking off their summer tour tomorrow,  June 11th, I’ve been thinking of last years summer tour opener at Fenway Park. I posted this last year but wanted to share it again as it is  unforgettable. It is not my video. I pulled it from you tube. 

Event Name: Phish
Venue: Fenway Park
City: Boston
State: MA
Date: 5/31/09

You are not going to walk away from every concert with some overheard goodness, but I think you can walk away from every concert with a special moment.

After a massive down pour the evening started with Phish singing the National Anthem from the pitchers mound as it continued to lightly drizzle. About 5 minutes later, Phish took the stage as it was still drizzling . They opened the set with Sample In A Jar. An opener I wasn’t expecting to hear but it turned out to be the perfect opener because at the first note of Trey’s solo the sun began to peak through the clouds. It was one of the most amazing and beautiful moments I have ever seen. It’s impossible to explain. The crowd cheered. It was magical!
