Last night, Phoenix made what is presumably their last trip to NYC in support of their album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. Having gone from playing middle sized clubs to the “world’s most famous arena”, Phoenix has been on tour now for a while and will be heading into the studio to record a new album after these shows are finished. Luckily for us, our photographer Sam Teich was at last night’s show and got some great shots of Phoenix and Daft Punk. Check out the photos below the setlist and see more of Sam’s work at www.pbase.com/samlyn90.
