Phish Fall Tour proper kicks off tonight at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield, CO for the first night of a three-show run at the venue after Friday’s festival set at ACL and last night’s Fourmile Canyon Revival concert whet everyone’s appetite for a “real” show. What will the fall bring for the quartet? HT’s Luke Sacks previewed the tour earlier this week.

Earlier today we shared Jonathan Kosakow’s thoughts on last night’s Fourmile Canyon Revival benefit concert, which brought together the members of Phish with String Cheese Incident, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Yonder Mountain String Band and Leftover Salmon to raise money for those affected by the Fourmile Canyon Fire.

We covered tons of ground this week on Hidden Track and before we get back to the grind we wanted to recap some of the things we learned… Groupie Alycen
Fourmile Canyon Revival @ 1st Bank Center, October 9
String Cheese Incident, Leftover Salmon, Jeff Austin, Big Head Todd, and Bonnie Paine from Elephant Revival, all on stage at the same time – and it wasn’t even the highlight of the show. That was the kind of night it was – one full of sit-ins and guest appearances, free-for-all jams and surprises. The Fourmile Canyon Revival benefit concert, held at Broomfield, CO’s 1st Bank Center, was easily the fall of 2010’s first and most anticipated show in the Rocky Mountain State.

Before the show, the parking lot was buzzing. Rumors had been flowing about the lineup, special guests, and most people simply couldn’t wait to get inside. The 6,500-capacity 1st Bank Center was fully packed early on in the evening, and that’s a good thing, because it was not a show to miss.
Just a few a minutes before 6PM on Saturday night, Leftover Salmon took the stage to a barrage of loud screams, people hopeful that the night would go as well as they’d hoped. That was the first good sign: an entire band taking the place of originally scheduled Drew Emmitt and Vince Herman, and Keith Moseley of String Cheese taking over bass duties. When Phish’s Page McConnell joined the set, and then String Cheese Incident’s Bill Nershi, and then Bonnie Paine from Elephant Revival, the crowd was already thrown back on their heels. By the end of the set, just about everyone’s jaws had dropped. But it was only 7PM, the night was young.
