Will this be the beginning of the first spring tour for Phish since really the Island tour in 1998? What will they play? Will it be mostly standards and a bunch of jazz favorites (Manteca, Take the A Train, etc)? When Phish last played Jazz Fest in 96 they tour through a majority of originals with only two covers (A Day In the Life and Hello My Baby). With the recent absence of covers from Phish's setlist one has to wonder if they will keep the trend alive at one of the most historic music festivals around. 

Speculate all you'd like, the fact is they are playing Jazz Fest and that's all you have to know to make a decision to go buy a Saturday ticket and book a hotel right now for the weekend of the 26th, the exact anniversary date of their last time at Jazz Fest!
