Written & posted to phish.net forum on the 10th anniversary of 10.7.00. I flew to Cali from the Toronto area for these 'final' shows. It was a pretty bittersweet time really. It was cool to see Bobby Weir come out for the encore the first night at Shoreline. [Running joke amongst me and...

This is STILL the last show I saw Phish play (although I might go see 8-15-2012 in Long Beach). I had a HUGE tasty spliff rolled up, and I wrote the letters YEM on it. I was determined to only smoke it if they played that tune. As the show progressed, and the YEM failed to materialize, my friends...

How have I not reviewed my first show? Well, here goes... @MiguelSanchez has already done a great job of reviewing the show proper, so I'll add some personal perspective for good measure. I first heard Phish around 1995, when a cute hippy girl I knew in high school was telling me stories of...

If you had told me the show's highlights were going to be Stash and Soul Planet, I might have dismissed it out of hand, but this show is a masterpiece of variety, chops, and jamming. The first half of the Soul Planet was gorgeous, anthemic, stuff and the 2nd half got darker and unformed. Proud to...

Set 1: Very crisply played all around, and capped off with a super Reba that @ARigidDesignator has already gone into (not quite sure I agree with him that it's the jam of the night, but de gustibus non est disputandum) that manages to surpass the wonderful Rebas of last year (i.e. Randall's and...

This show rocks. I loved Bend and wouldn't trade that magic for anything, but Shoreline was pretty damn perfect for a big city big venue show. The Line is not my favorite but it was played with conviction and bravato that had quite a few folks moving before things we down right dirty funky with...

What a way to open a show! YEM segues unexpectedly into a rich Simple, and it'd all be gravy from there if the show didn't also feature a colossal multipart Gin and downtempo Twist > Scents. That's a pre-Undermind take on Scents, by the way - meaning the errant-laser-beam Twist outro transforms...

This was my 69th show. All I can say is: that was definitely a Fire On the Mountain tease to start Soul Planet. And I was right next to the Forbin’s sign from the VIP section. I literally have no complaints about this show. Song placement, jam power, energy, how they played…. The jam kept...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2021-09-01 • Tweezer (34:01) Set 2 Noteworthy
Yet another exploratory "type II" adventure, this version's jam goes all over the globe, with segments that at times seem to have vigorous "Manteca" and "Jingo-Va" themes, and even "Lizards" and "Dave's Energy Guide" teasing and a cacphonous "Split Open and Melt" jam, that are separated by a mellow, spacey-but-mellifluous and playful, improvisation. Best listened to, closely, with headphones.
2021-09-01 • Cities (16:23) Set 1 Noteworthy
The band moves into a more driving version of the usual "Cities" jam, thanks to Fishman, before Trey makes the move into a brief bit of major key bliss, and then takes the jam into smoother and more relaxed waters. A very nice first set jam, with a wonderful -> into "Passing Through".
2021-08-31 • Soul Planet (46:38) Set 2 Noteworthy
Smoothly runs the gamut from dark grooves to a lovely uplifting space to double-time rocking out to a muscular jamming zone where Mike's drill (!) takes center stage to anthemic bliss to something akin to an alien distress signal that could've only come from Summer 2021 to sludgy industrial noise to even faster rocking out to snappy funkiness to a perfect -> into "The Final Hurrah". A cornerstone jam of Summer 2021, and the third longest of their entire career. Yes, you read that right, their entire career.
2021-08-31 • Stash (17:18) Set 1 Noteworthy
Mike, Trey, and Page layer in an array of textures and tones as they cycle through their respective palettes in this tremendous jam that sees each member trade lead and complementary roles with frequency. Retains at least a loose sense of "Stash" for the duration but explores widely within that tense Latin-esque minor zone heard in previous standout versions (8/11/18, 7/10/19).
2003-07-10 • The Moma Dance (12:36) Set 1 Noteworthy
The jam segment starts off hot, quiets down slowly, and becomes quite mellow around 7:45. It remains minimalist and repetitive, but the last few minutes are sneakily powerful, with everyone adding color, especially Mike. Unfinished; -> to "Antelope."
2003-07-10 • Divided Sky (18:59) Set 2 Noteworthy
An easy going summer version breaks into an unusual groove at about 16:00 with "DEG"-like jamming for a couple of minutes, before returning to "Divided" to conclude.
2003-07-09 • Bathtub Gin (26:29) Set 1 Noteworthy
Excellent, very "Type II" jam. Once it leaves "Gin" behind, this one works through several sections, and gets way, way out there, ending up in some abstract space, before finally coming back to "Gin." A good one if you like 2.0-style jamming.
1999-09-16 • Weekapaug Groove (15:15) Set 2 Noteworthy
Following some soaring straightforward play, at 6:00, the jam settles into a great low-key groove. Trey and Page build the intensity, leading a climactic and spirited return to more familiar ground. Trey's playing is incredible at the peak.
1999-09-16 • I Am Hydrogen (4:24) Set 2 Noteworthy
Slow and very enchanting (after a creepy segue!).
1998-07-19 • Jam (6:02) Set 2 Noteworthy
Following a strong "McGrupp," Trey embarks on a melancholic, soulful, and ambient interlude. Thoughtful Page runs counterpoint, until Fish and Mike team to drive the jam more deliberately. Seemingly composed, this music cools into classic '98 space with delicate soloing by Trey, and then -> to "DwD."
With Fish nicely keeping time, Page embarks on a charged solo, playfully recreating Mike's bass line. Even with Page out in front, there is a growing sense that all are contributing to this classic '98 version. For the second consecutive time, an archetypal, ambient-style "Jam" emerges on the heels of a very fine "McGrupp."
1997-07-31 • Runaway Jim (23:16) Set 2 Noteworthy
Multi-faceted improvisational version that includes funk, power jamming, quieter space, punchy, rhythmic funky stuff, and more space with a -> to "When The Circus Comes."
1997-07-31 • Mike's Song (15:16) Set 2 Noteworthy
The 1st jam begins in moderately funky mode and the power intensifies as it goes, but otherwise is straightforward. The 2nd jam starts in rock mode, then settles down to quieter, contemplative play. Finally, the power throttles up into a slightly dissonant and intense peak.
1997-07-31 • You Enjoy Myself (28:58) Set 1 Noteworthy
Magnificently intricate, spell-binding, hypnotic jam (with strange "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" teases). (No B&D.)
How to follow Shoreline's epic "Soul Planet"? By -> into a new Trey favorite, KV's classic "The Final Hurrah." Dancing around a wonderful groove by means of his envelope filter, Trey's improvisation is at turns melodic and jazzy, inciting an impossibly cool jam and fitting end to one of the band's most impressive cosmic journeys.
