Tonight, Phish will celebrate Halloween with the opening show of a three-night stand at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, marking their return to Sin City for the first time since 2004. To get us pumped for whatever they have in store this evening, the Vermonters have shared official video of the 14+ minute “Twist” from Tuesday night in San Francisco.

The first “Twist” to go Type II in quite some time has been one of the highlights of the tour. Here’s how we described it, “The band kept the momentum up with ‘Twist,’ a song that typically grooves along for 7 or 8 minutes, but was stretched to nearly double that length this time around. After some slinky funk, Page and Mike led the band into a gentle eerie fog. In improvisational spaces like these, Trey often begins another song, but here he layered a tasteful solo over the band’s groove, resulting in one of the most mysterious and compelling jams of the tour.”
