From Friday to Sunday, Phish delivered an exhilarating three-show kickoff series for their Summer Tour at Manchester, N.H.’s SNHU Arena, which culminated in a full-set “Tweezer” medley, weaving in and out of the A Picture of Nectar classic for more than 40 minutes in total. Last night, the legendary jam innovators followed that momentum into a follow-up at Pittsburgh’s Petersen Events Center, which went above and beyond expectations with a slew of bust-outs and a rendition of “What’s Going Through Your Mind” that stretched out with historic and mind-bending depths of improvisation.

This miniature set honors two iconic axes from the Grateful Dead universe. Jerry Garcia’s Top Hat, created by master luthier Stephen Cripe in 1995, served as his backup to the renowned Lightning Bolt and stands as a symbol of Jerry’s ever-evolving sound. Paired with it is Phil Lesh’s Big Brown, a Guild Starfire bass modified with pioneering Alembic electronics. Known to fans as The Godfather, this bass helped shape the deep, improvisational groove that defined the band’s golden years.
