Phish Fall Tour 2023 Statistics: The Number Line

Phish concluded a short but eventful fall tour this past Sunday, October 15 at the United Center in Chicago. The quartet’s eight-show run began with their first three concerts at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville and ended with their first three concerts at United Center. In between came two performances at the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio — an arena that previously hosted Phish in 1995, 1997 and 2017.

While JamBase published recaps of each night heavy on opinions, now that the tour is in the rearview mirror it’s time to go a different route.
