On Night 9 of Phish’s Baker’s Dozen<\/a> residency, Maple was the donut theme of the night and with that came jams that slowly dripped out from Phish’s tap, leaving 4 nights to go and not a single song repeated thus far.<\/p>\n

A tribute to our Maple loving neighbors to the north started the show, with a spotlight on the Canadian flag and one on Trey as he tore into \u2018O Canada!\u2019 A dozen songs followed through in the set, with nothing overly ambitious or stretched out like the previous 8 nights but the band dove into their catalog for fan favorites and rarer tunes. Highlights included the upbeat \u201cDaniel Saw the Stone\u201d that felt like a church revival as the lights brightened the entire arena; \u201cGuelah Papyrus” which included Page performing Scott Joplin\u2019s ragtime classic \u201cMaple Leaf Rag” in between sections; \u201cMcGrupp\u201d and a firey \u201cWalk Away\u201d capped the set of a full Baker’s Dozen of songs.<\/p>\n

Set 2 brought out a usual jam vehicle \u201cGolden Age\u201d that stretched for 20 minutes and could have been the jam of the night if it were not for the latter half of \u201cSwept Away” > \u201cSteep\u201d which took a spacey spin for 12 minutes and grew into an improvisational jam that has been a staple of the residency. Growing from \u201cSteep” was a trio of heaters: \u201c46 Days,\u201d the long awaited (but not slow built) \u201cPiper\u201d followed by \u201cPossum\u201d made for 35 minutes of firey rock n roll to cap the show. An encore of Bowie\u2019s \u201cRock and Roll Suicide\u201d didn’t have the emotional impact that the debut during Halloween in Las Vegas had, but Trey singing the Ziggy Stardust coda still packs an emotional punch.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Holes<\/a> is the theme for tonight’s 10th show of the Baker’s Dozen. Could Phish pay tribute to the late Chris Cornell with \u201cBlack Hole Sun?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
