The biggest bust out of Phish‘s Summer Tour leading up to the “Baker’s Dozen” took place on Wednesday night in Pittsburgh, where the quartet dusted off “Mr. Completely” for the first time since its lone previous performance in 2003. Phish has just shared pro-shot video of the 20+ minute “Mr. Completely” on the band’s YouTube channel.
The foursome has unveiled Phish debuts of a number of tunes previously played by the Trey Anastasio Band so far this tour including “Corona,” “Everything’s Right” and “Tuesday.” Wednesday’s concert also featured the Phish debut of “Come Together,” a Trey original TAB unveiled earlier this year. While not a Phish debut, “Mr. Completely” came during the second set in Pittsburgh and was a huge surprise. The Phish debut of “Mr. Completely” was a 30+ minute stunner performed on July 15, 2003 in Utah.
Wednesday’s version was very different from the only other Phish rendition of “Mr. Completely.” Whereas the Utah version saw the quartet explore various jam spaces, the band focused on one blissful sequence in Pittsburgh they rode to glory. “Mr. Completely,” returning after 380 shows, wound up being the fourth 20-minute jam in the past four Phish concerts.
