Pullin’ ‘Tubes: Moby Ridickulous
We like to celebrate anniversaries around here…and we’ll do so right now.
Seven years ago today, The Phish from Vermont migrated to Indiana to provide some dirty wooks and prep-school hippies in the Deer Creek crowd with an 80-minute second set so strong that we’re reminiscing about it tonight. The popular rock band teased and threaded Led Zeppelin’s Moby Dick six times through its Tour de Force straight-ahead rager, blending old standards with covers and antics and witty stage banter. When the smoke cleared, the damage looked something like this:
Set II: Also Sprach Zarathustra > Down with Disease -> Moby Dick > Down with Disease > Runaway Jim -> Moby Dick, Back on the Train -> Moby Dick -> Back on the Train, Harry Hood -> Moby Dick, Hold Your Head Up > Terrapin > Hold Your Head Up > Moby Dick > Hold Your Head Up, Character Zero (1:19 m)
Enc: First Tube > Moby Dick > Chalkdust Torture Jam
You can download the whole show from etree here, but we thought you might want to take a look at a this nine-minute clip of every Moby Dick tease edited together with the Chalkdust Torture encore:
