Video: Phish Play Fallon; Twitter Reacts
After three scorching shows at Randall’s Island, Phish hung around the city for one more performance on Monday night as the band took to The Tonight Show stage for the first time under new host Jimmy Fallon. The band dug into two tracks, “Waiting All Night” for the broadcast and “Fuego” for the website. Both were obviously abbreviated but “Fuego” did include the full composition, clocking in at over 10 minutes.
Watch the replay below and remember that the band will webcast their three shows in Chicago this weekend via LivePhish.com.
“Waiting All Night”
“Fuego”
As it is whenever Phish steps into the public eye, social media channels were particularly interesting to watch. This time, people (presumably Phish fans) were confused over Jon Fishman’s white t-shirt getup especially after Phish tweeted a picture of the famed muumuu. Check out some of the best tweets on the topic and marvel at the sheer surprise people had that Fishman was wearing clothes.
@phish Why did Jon Fishman go with a white t-shirt on the Late Show? @Phish_FTR posted a picture of the dress earlier today!
