If your parents are anything like mine, they are usually pretty interested in meeting the "significant others" in your life. Fairly often, upon meeting them, our parents do not completely approve of the people we are seeing. It was therefore, with some trepidation that they might not get along,...
A fine show. The second set opens with a 35-minute Wolfman's > 2001; the Wolfman's Bro hits one of those my-god-this-band-is-tight peaks around the 14-minute mark. If things get a little repetitious thereafter, you can doubly console yourself: 1) 'I live a life of privilege, to be able to...
Just wanted to point out that this was Harris Wittels' first show...His remarks about it: "My first show was September 25, ‘99 in at the Woodlands in Houston. I was literally a fan since that night. It was the most amazing concert experience of my life. It wasn’t even that great of a show but...
I was at this show, on my birthday, in the town where I was born. I attended the night before in Austin as well. I really enjoyed myself at this show. As far as the recording, it's a good one to throw in that won't require a lot of attention. It will perk your ears at various times and force you...
Just gotta give another shout out to this Wolfman's, HOT Damn! In the middle of a tour that's just brimming with funk, I can't think of anything else from the tour that's funkier. This is not the best show of the tour, but it does contain one of the best, if not the best, jam of the tour, and...
Must have show for your collection from Summer of '98 for the following reasons IMHO....
(1) SBD available @ PHISHOWS.COM (get this show!!!)
(2) Moma Dance --> Jim is one of my favorite openers in the entire archive as far as combinations go and these two versions sound very tight
(3)...
This is a show to to leads. Mike and Trey seem to trade off throughout this entire show being the dominant player,
Tube gives the show a quick injection with Mike laying down the funk hard. On your way down shows up again and does it's thing as a bluesy little song somewhat in the middle. LXL...
Definitely a great show all around. Moma is a nice opner and the Jim jam hits some great peaks and gets a little dark for a minute. Stash and Taste are great and you can't got wrong with a rockin' Loving Cup set closer.
The 2nd set starts with a fantasticly funky Wolfman's that's gets...
I came here to say the same thing Penn42 said - this Wolfman's is incredible, one of the few things in the phish world that I think is under-appreciated. it has the slow and steady strut right from the start, then unfolds and sort of shapeshifts for a few minutes. it evolves but it doesn't...
SET 1: Tube: couldn't pick a better opener than this tune right here. Short and sweet. >
Runaway Jim: Nice little jam here this early in the set and the show has tons of energy.
Ya Mar: Nice little jam.
Horn:Standard.
Limb By Limb:at 8:20 Trey hits a subtle loop and the...
Excellent, powerful version. The extended funk section includes some "Manteca"-like jamming. After a brief settle around 13:40, the jam breaks into a super, power-hose groove that rocks for several minutes before yielding to ambient space and a > to "2001."
"Caspian" seems to reflect the band's musical direction and style at any moment in time more than most songs. This version, like 7/31/99, gives a broad sense of that tone and technique in the late pre-Hiatus period. > to "R&R."
The Borg lands and brings along some dance party, space beats. One of the biggest "2001" grooves culminates with one of Trey's great funk riffs with about 2:00 left.
