PhishReformed rockers Phish returned to the stage in Virginia on Friday and Saturday night after a five-year hiatus.

The cult 'jam band' opened Friday's show at the Hampton Coliseum with a 16-minute rendition of fan favorite "Fluffhead" - a tune the quartet had not played live since 2000.

The two-hour first set boasted 16 tunes, including "Suzy Greenberg," "Stash," "NICU" and "I Didn't Know," which featured drummer Jon Fishman playing a vacuum cleaner.

The group's second set began with new track "Backwards Down the Number Line," Phish anthem "Possum" and "You Enjoy Myself."

Phish closed the show to rousing applause with an encore that included "Bouncing Around the Room" and The Rolling Stones' "Loving Cup."

The band opened Saturday night's show with "Back On The Train" and "Runaway Jim." Phish were preparing for their third show at the Hampton Coliseum on Sunday night as WENN went to press.
