With religious-like fervor surrounding the band’s return to the road stronger than ever, it’s no surprise such a vibrant community continues to spring forth with new creativity, technological innovation, and a willingness to invest in something they believe in. And perhaps more importantly — a willingness to show up to a concert and make a complete fool of themselves.
Berkeley: Phish Conquer Berkeley [Antiquiet]
The highlight of the four song run was Cities – a Talking Heads song that has found its way into the Phish repertoire. With Anastasio singing the line “home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks” you knew you were witnessing something truly special, as the band could have easily booked two sold out shows at the spacious 22,000 seat Shoreline Amphitheatre across the bay. Instead, they booked the intimate Greek and ended up with the hottest ticket in town for the 2010 Bay Area concert calendar.

Each night, the band seemed to evolve from the night before; and in all three shows Phish displayed a different side of their diverse musical abilities. Over the course of the three nights in Berekeley, the band continued to develop a new improvisational style that has woven itself through the peak jams of 2010.
