The Number Line: The Originals
Each day this week we’ve been sharing a new installment of our geekiest column, The Number Line, where we analyze the setlists from Phish’s recently completed Fall Tour. On Monday we examined the Fall Tour one-timers, on Tuesday we looked at the songs played on the tour by studio album and yesterday we detailed the covers Phish performed. Today, we’ll look at the originals the quartet performed on the 13-show run.
