Call it a summer tour closer, if you’d like. It certainly felt like one. Yes, Phish will still symbolically close out the season with a three-show, Labor Day weekend residency in Colorado. Yet, Saturday night’s finale- the last in a month-long U.S. trek, capped with this second of two shows at the Boston ballpark- had all the hallmarks of a culminating celebration.
Clearly, when Phish rolled into Beantown, the Vermont quartet was still riding rather high off of a five-show stand- marked by the group’s time-machine trip through its 1990s heyday- at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. So, after a Friday appearance at Fenway that resembled more the present state of the foursome, the contrasting follow-up was a throwback to the magic ‘90s in many ways, with just a bit of contemporary garnish. For Phish, and it’s faithful packed in at the Park, the majestic moments of classic rock regality seemed to resonate most.
