Reviews: Phish Gives Cobo Another Memorable Night [ABC12]

After a 30-minute intermission, the crowd packed the narrow concourse of the nearly 60-year-old building. Once the Vermont-based band got back to the stage, balloons and glow sticks rained from above on the floor seats as “Down With Disease” echoed through the hall.

As guitarist Trey Anastasio wound down his extended solo, he segued right into a trio of classics from their 1996 album “Billy Breathes.” A blistering version of album opener “Free,” Phish’s most commercially successful song of their career, led to a crowd sing-a-long on “Waste” and “taste.”

Reviews: Phish Return Welcomed By Cobo Crowd [Royal Oak Daily Tribune]

They got it with a typically epic Phish performance, three hours of music plus a half-hour intermission, plenty of instrumental fireworks, a tripped-out light show that was “played” as much as the music itself and a 24-song setlist that, as is Phish’s wont, will never be repeated.

The vibe picked up as if it had left off yesterday.

And for many of the 10,500 fans at Wednesday night’s Phish show, it practically had: The near-capacity crowd at Cobo Arena was packed with veteran fans of the jam-rock giant, which reunited earlier this year after half a decade apart.

Previews: Phishing in Detroit [Hidden Track]

Tomorrow marks Phish’s first appearance at the legendary Cobo Arena in the Motor City and just the second Phish gig ever within city limits.  Over the years, the group has made stops in the Detroit suburbs of Rochester Hills (7/30/92, 8/12/93), Pontiac (6/23/94) and Auburn Hills (10/28/95, 11/09/96, 12/06/97 and 12/02/99), but the only Phish show in Detroit – besides tomorrow’s show – took place at St. Andrew’s Hall on May 6, 1992.

Tomorrow night, Phish will open their fall tour in Detroit, returning for the first time since ‘99, where they delivered one of the best shows on their late fall tour. Tour openers have historically been packed with new songs, and we can be sure the band is eager to try out a few of their new tunes
