A few days—and a couple more shows—removed from last weekend’s Phish run at Hampton Coliseum, fans are still buzzing about the magic that occurred over three nights at one of the most beloved venues in the band’s history. The weekend was filled with rare bust-outs and covers, thrilling jams (hot damn, that “Simple”), and the kind of band and audience energy you only find at a place as special as The Mothership.
However, the beauty of Phish’s Hampton run extended past the more buzzworthy moments and seeped into virtually everything the band played. Case in point: the gorgeous rendition of “Mountains in the Mist” in the heart of set two on Friday night, 10/19/18. Dropped in the middle of two top-notch segued segments (“Carini” > “Sand” > a dark and dirty “Golden Age” before it; “Meatstick” > “Split Open And Melt” in its wake), this Trey Anastasio/Tom Marshall balled was placed perfectly and shined brightly in its own right. While Phish is certainly not a band most well-known for its ballads, this “Mountains in the Mist” showcased the band’s depth of ability, as the tender, emotive performances by each of the band’s members—Trey in particular—translated into a thoroughly heart-warming second set breather.
