Phish's annual summer tour is rolling along in full force, as the band has just wrapped up it's midwest/northeast leg of the tour. With four days off to travel, rest, and prepare for the upcoming weekend at The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington, Phish fans can expect a fresh, rejuvenated band full of surprises. The first half of Phish's summer tour has been full of highlights, with major bust outs and tour debuts coming early and often at nearly every show.
One of the tour's most recent highlights came in the second set on Friday night at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts. After kicking off the set with "Ghost," the band swiftly transitioned into "Light," arguably the most legitimate jam vehicle off of the band's 2009 release Joy. The Mansfield "Light" featured some serious type-two jamming with some heavy funk and even a few "woo's," making for one of the longest jams of the tour thus far. Fortunately, Phish has released full HD footage of "Light," which can be watched below.
