Phish’s defining humor, in which you weren’t quite sure if they were making fun of arena rock tropes or living inside them, was happily pervasive as well, obviously with the gag itself but also interspersed throughout the musical program. Drummer Jon Fishman showboated his way through Neil Diamond’s “Cracklin’ Rosie,” the band transformed into a barbershop quartet for “I Didn’t Know,” and they paid tribute to the recently deceased Frank Zappa by weaving the melody to Zappa’s “Peaches En Regalia” into multiple songs throughout the night. (That’s in addition to a proper full rendition—their third in the four-night run.)
