Tonight's top show: Phish at UIC Pavilion

Phish: The quartet, decade-long rulers of the jam-band universe created by the Grateful Dead, tour relentlessly, but they always seem to be at their best whenever they play the UIC Pavilion, their multi-night stands inevitably inspiring a level of revelation that they don’t routinely achieve elsewhere, 7:30 p.m. Monday-Wednesday at UIC Pavilion, 525 S. Racine, $58; ticketmaster.com.
