Another Night in Telluride with Phish

Phish’s first visit to Telluride in 1988

Phish closed out its first run of shows in Telluride, CO since 1991 last night. The evening opened with “The Squirming Coil,” which has not started a show since 1998. The Vermont Quartet’s first set also featured meaty covers of “Timber (Jerry),” “Walk Away” and “Roses are Free,” as well as the group’s first take on Trey Anastasio’s “Let Me Lie” since last year.

The band’s second set opened with “Party Time” and included a Mike’s Groove sequence that sandwiched Talking Heads’ “Crosseyed and Painless” in-between “Mike’s Song” and “I am Hydrogen.” The set also featured “Destiny Unbound,” a song Phish shelved shortly after its last Telluride visit until 2003.

Here’s a look at the setlist via Phish.net

Set 1: The Squirming Coil, Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan, Ya Mar, Timber (Jerry), Let Me Lie, The Divided Sky, Walk Away, Roses Are Free > Limb By Limb, Bouncing Around the Room, Run Like an Antelope

Set 2: Party Time, Mike’s Song > Crosseyed and Painless > I Am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove, Destiny Unbound, Carini > Free > Heavy Things, You Enjoy Myself

Encore: Shine a Light

Actually, Coil opened a show at the Gorge on July 16, 1998.

...and Destiny Unbond has only been on the shelf since the first night at Alpharetta on July 3.

Read it again fellas, it says Coil has not started a show since 1998….and it doesn’t say they shelved Destiny Unbound since 2003, it is actually indicating that it was shelved shortly after Telluride 88 and then brought back in rare rotation since 2003….maybe you should read things twice
