The closest body of water to Las Vegas is Lake Mead, which is approximately 20 to 30 miles southeast of the Strip.
Yet, that won’t keep Phish away from Sphere.

If you want to be there to see Trey Anastasio and co. rock live, last-minute tickets are still available.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one show was $53 including fees on StubHub.
Three-day passes start at $564 including fees.
Prior to this upcoming sextet of concerts, Phish headlined three nights at Sphere from April 16-18. Per usual, each set was completely unique.
According to Set List FM, the group busted out 17 tracks on night one including the title track from their 2024 album “Evolve,” deep cuts (the twinkly “Rift,” jazzy “Foam,” proggy “Scents and Subtle Sounds”) as well as a few interstellar covers (“Also sprach Zarathurstra, op. 30,” “Space Oddity,” which they sang barbershop quarter a cappella style).
Night two rocked. Set List FM reported Phish unveiled the spunky “Free,” funky “Birds of a Feather” and blissful “Guelah Papyrus.” Covers that evening included Walt Disney Music Co.’s “Martian Monster” and Vida Blue’s “Most Events Aren’t Planned” along with the live debut of a tune from Anastasio’s Ghosts of the Forest side project.
They closed the short stint with a breakneck rendition of the freewheeling “Buried Alive,” throwback “AC/DC Bag” and calming “Reba” based on our findings at Set List FM. The two covers for that spot were James Gang’s “Walk Away” (Joe Wash was in the crowd!) and The Beatles’ majestic “I Am The Walrus.”
And, we haven’t even gotten into the kaleidoscopic visuals on display at Sphere.
“As the band played on, the visuals absolutely towered over the four musicians on stage, first taking us on a ride west through the U.S., passing such monuments as the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, before finally arriving in Vegas,” Mercury News noted in an emphatic review. “The graphics played with our equilibrium, tilting and turning our views in ways that could buckle knees, as we were led into a topsy-turvy landscape that recalled the work of M.C. Escher.”

Phish new music
On July 12, 2024, Phish dropped their 16th studio album “Evolve.”
As expected, the band completely surprises. No two songs are alike here; their only connection is the cosmically in-sync ensemble.
Personally, we were most taken with the slinky, bass-y, mysterious “Hey Stranger,” upbeat toe-tapper “A Wave Of Hope” and slow burn of “Monsters.”
Be sure to try the restrained Beatles-esque “Valdese,” too. It’s impossible not to crack a smile while listening.

What seeing Phish live is like
In December 2023, The Post spoke with NYC comedian Max Fine about what attending a Phish concert live is like.
“It’s not like anything you’ve ever seen because it’s never happened before,” the Phan explained.
“Every show is special and unique because they don’t plan for it. You get to be whoever you want at a Phish show.”
