Vultures

One of the great things about my Phish fandom is that I know their catalog pretty well but not well enough that the average setlist doesn’t usually hold some kind of surprise for me. That’s the way it’s been at the last three Phish gigs I’ve been to. At Charlottesville in 2009, it was “The Old Home Place.” Last year, it was “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” by Neutral Milk Hotel (which was a cover debut for Phish). This year, it was “Vultures,” a Phish original that didn’t make it onto “Story of the Ghost.” It’s a powerful tune, theatrical. I can’t get it out of my head.

    I pulled up that YouTube you found of old home place. The New South was completely batsh*t talented. It’s crazy that JD Crowe is the least famous one now. Only New Grass Revival can compete for having insane talent like that.

  2. That is a great video. I’ve still got to check out Sam Bush, like you recommended.
