Take a Bow, Chicago “Simple”

July 17, 2017

It was all anyone could talk about all weekend and for good reason, as Phish uncorked a “Simple” for the books on Saturday night in Chicago as their summer tour kicks into full gear. 

The 27-minute behemoth anchored the show and came in as the third longest version of the song in the band’s history, and one of the finest moments of improvisation since their 2009 return. The Chicago “Simple” falls right in line with other notable present-day Phish moments like the Tahoe “Tweezer” and certainly lives up to the hype.
