The song was split into three parts during the Ghosts of the Forest performances it will be interesting to see how Phish implements the rest of the composition going forward. Next came the Phish debut of “Beneath a Sea of Stars Part 1,” from Anastasio’s recent Ghosts of the Forest project. (In fact, the previous 20 versions appeared in the first set.) The somewhat difficult composition caused no trouble for the band. Out of “Death Don’t Hurt Very Long,” the band chose “Rift,” a song more often seen in the first set. In particularly, “Ruby Waves” contained some excellent exploration before shifting to the beloved Kasvot Växt tune. Anastasio dropped a quick tease of the “NICU” guitar line, before leading the band into the actual song “NICU.” After this short break in improvising, Phish opted for a sequence of “Golden Age” > “Ruby Waves” > “Death Don’t Hurt Very Long” that felt almost like one long jam. The band explored different key centers before arriving in E-flat. “Blaze On” opened up the second set, and the song quickly turned to a type-two jam. “46 Days,” making its fourth appearance of the summer 2019 tour, closes the set in thrilling, energetic fashion. The beautiful “Roggae” allowed the band to explore some delicate timbres during the improvisation, before building to a climax. “Sparkle,” another old tune, came next, as the set began to feel like something out of 1994. Another classic, “Guelah Papyrus,” followed, making its first appearance since Augin Raleigh, N.C. Next came the relatively new “Everything’s Right,” which contained a solid type-two jam. Phish followed these classics with another beloved original, “Divided Sky.” Guitarist Trey Anastasio’s playing was on point here he expertly navigated the song’s solo section, leading the band to a thrilling peak. Set one began with the classic sequence of “Mike’s Song > “I Am Hydrogen” > “Weekapaug Groove,” with each song not straying much from its typical structure.
