Every Song That Made Its MSG Phish Debut At The Bakers Dozen
As a followup to my previous post of songs that Phish had never played at Madison Square Garden prior to the Bakers Dozen, I compiled a list of all the songs that Phish played at MSG for the first time during the run. Once again, I ran ZZYZX’s Phish Stats using only the 52 Phish concerts at MSG.
Counting Sunshine Of Your Feeling as one song, there were 68 songs played at MSG by Phish for the first time. While some of the covers were likely played at the venue by their original bands, like the Led Zeppelin and Bowie songs, the list also includes Phish originals throughout the band’s history, ranging from early classics like Esther and Tela to stuff from the most recent Big Boat album like I Always Wanted It This Way.
Adding to the quirks, Phish played The Curtain With at the venue, 21 years after playing the shortened The Curtain in 1996. Also, while pair of Trey Anastasio Band songs in Tuesday and Mr. Completely made their MSG Phish debut at The Bakers Dozen, they were previously played at The Garden by Trey during one or both of the times TAB were there as an opening act for The Black Crowes in 2005 and for Tom Petty in 2006.
And now, here is the full list in alphabetical order.
