First show of Spring Tour '92 with first, but pretty solid nonetheless, versions of Maze, My Friend, Mound, NICU, and Sleeping Monkey. GET THE SOUNDBOARD OF THIS SHOW OFF THE SPREADSHEET OR STREAM FROM PHISHTRACKS.COM - NICE, CLEAN RECORDING!!! Rift smokes and these early extended versions...

Yet another show that is forcing me to take '92 a bit more seriously. Their sound, in general, is more fully realized here than I was expecting from '92 (for more on this see my review of 12.12.92). All of the debuts are fun and well played, though some of them still have a little maturing...

There is an interview with Mike that was recorded (presumably at the venue) just prior to this show that provides a lot of really interesting context to the show, the band, and where they were in their career at that time. http://archive.org/details/InterviewWithMikeGordonFromPhish1992-03-07

I listened to this show while I opened at work this morning, and I totally recommend. I saw this was the 24th anniversary on .net, and that is how I currently base the shows I listen to. The show is straight fire. Nothing outside the box. Everything is just tight and well played. It's always...

It was indeed a very special night. There were so many special moments... the whole show was really. It's the type of night you want to keep going back to and hold onto that feeling forever. Personally, having gone to UNH, but now living in Hoboken, NJ, this was a very personal night for me (I'm...

Funny how this is one of the top rated shows on .net, but there are no reviews. You'll definitely want to hear this one if you're looking for a super tight show from the band's earlier career. Circulates in soundboard.

(Published on the legacy Phish.net site many years ago...) Well there it is.If you have made it through the set list then you've already noticed Harpua,But hold on. The roads were way bad to make the 3 hour drive took bout 5 and w/out tix all the longer.We arrived at bout 4:30 and a...

Pretty good pre Christmas show. Solid setlilst. Lots of Christmas song teases. Harpua to close! Encores were missing from the bootleg.

These two Portsmouth shows are great. After three months off and with lots of new songs, a well practiced Phish sounds better than ever! Horse>Silent is too fast, but fun to hear finally. A second Maze and Rift are better tonight. Weigh is great! Love this song. Horn is good, Mike sounds...

Decent audience source for set one, but it suffers from multiple cassette generations and the pitch runs a hair sharp. Set two’s source, though, is a crispy dSBD. Trey slips in the Star Trek theme before launching into a rippin’ Brother. They follow that with the debut of My Mind. Foam...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1992-03-06 • Maze (7:21) Set 1
Debut is played at a slower tempo than later versions, and Page's solo features the piano rather than the B-3.
1992-03-06 • Stash (8:24) Set 2
"Stash" starts to get interesting in 1992. First version of the year is a good one, with lots of tension and the beginnings of pushing the jam beyond convention.
1992-03-06 • Possum (9:25) Set 2
Twangy country-like jam becomes more typically high powered. Several signals taboot (see Setlist).
1992-03-06 • It's Ice (9:10) Set 1
Full band jam featuring Page on the organ instead of piano. Almost sounds like a "YEM" jam for a measure or two.
Debut.
1991-12-07 • Reba (11:41) Set 2
Still tinkering, this "Reba" is notable for a very cool and unique jam, which finds Mike out front early, creating a bouncy, infectious beat. Trey modifies both his tone and the intensity of his playing, before alighting upon a jazzy sort of theme. He then runs rapid-fire through a series of notes, before whipping the band into a controlled frenzy which ends dramatically.
Mean and nasty spirited beast of a jam with extreme tension.
