By nearly all reports, this past weekend’s Phish shows at the Bill Graham Civic in SF were spectacular. One thing this band does well is bring folks together and make a rock show into an experience. There’s just no escaping the sense of “event” to these sort of multi-night runs in major cities. Impound regular John Margaretten nails two things DI really likes about Phish in this gallery – the obvious, abundant personalities of its members and the undeniable lighting artistry of Chris Kuroda, who never fails to knock us out. We’ve also never seen the Civic this elbow-to-elbow packed before. These guys still bring out the faithful in a big way.
