Last night, Pink Talking Fish played the second of three nights at Nectar‘s, the beloved venue that Phish called home for many years in Burlington, VT. The band delivered two sets, one of their standard mix of Talking Heads, Pink Floyd, and Phish songs, and a second set that contained a full performance of Pink Floyd’s album Animals.
Set one opened with “Frankenstein,” the high-energy track by Edgar Winter that has turned into a fan-favorite cover for Phish. PTF jammed out of the intense song and segued into “Young Lust” from The Wall, and then “Crosseyed And Painless.” “Rift” was a great choice to follow up the impressive opener segment. Pink Floyd’s “Fearless” came next, a good cool down in energy before the band picked it right back up again with “Making Flippy Floppy.” The band transitioned into TV On the Radio‘s “Golden Age”, another cover song from Phish’s cover catalog, before moving into “Mother”. “Found a Job,” and a mashup of “Tennessee Jed” by The Grateful Dead and “Ocelet finished things up for set one.
Set two started with one of Phish’s most rarely performed songs, “Harpua.” In true Phish tradition, PTF would segue into Pink Floyd’s Animals, performing the album in its entirety, before finishing up the fan-favorite rarity. It was reminiscent of Phish’s famous Dark Side of the Moon show, which also took place in the middle of a “Harpua.” The band did switch things up of course, pairing Pink Floyd’s “Dogs” with Phish’s “The Dogs,” and putting the Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer” in the middle of Floyd’s “Sheep.” The band also included “Guyute” in the set, which appropriately sandwiched “Pigs.”
For the encore, the band performed “Seamus”, and “Sleeping Monkey,” ending the night perfectly after the wild first and second sets.
Thankfully, taper Keith Litzenberger was on hand, and he quickly uploaded the audio for your listening pleasure. The audio for both sets can be found below.
