MERRIWEATHER POST PAVILION
Columbia, MD
Soundcheck: If You Need a Fool, Shafty
SET 1:
The Wedge: Standard.
NICU: Standard.
Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley[1] - This version rules! Super funky and no silly vocal jam. This delivers the goods people. Although, I will say when Trey hits that loop with about 2.5 minutes left in this jam, it doesn’t sound very cohesive. One of the rare times that I would say a loop just didn’t work for me. This segues nicely into Guyute. Would highly recommend this Sally, forgot just how good it was. ->
Guyute: Standard.
Fikus:
Farmhouse: Standard.
Possum: Standard. >
Sweet Jane[2] - Super cool, the summer of covers tour rolls on. Foreshadowing of the upcoming Halloween show.
SET 2:
Cavern: 478 times played and only 4 times has it opened a second set: 4/28/1990, 8/8/1998, 12/4/2019, 8/2/2023 >
Also Sprach Zarathustra: Nice and funky, great placement. >
Tela: Standard, nice to see it again so soon after they busted it out at 7.28.98. >
Piper: Once the raging eases up, this one has a nice 3 or 4 minute funky section and then for the last 90 seconds or so Trey catches a cool them and rides that to the end. Would highly recommend this Piper.
Sexual Healing > Hold Your Head Up: Pure comedy.
Harry Hood: Great Hood, especially from Trey. He is all over this one. Fantastic!
ENCORE:
Sabotage[2] - Awesome, place must have spontaneously combusted.
Summary: While the show presented a strong performance, my personal assessment differs from the widespread acclaim it has received. While undoubtedly a great event, I would rate it 4/5. It seems there might be a degree of attendance bias influencing its memory and ratings.
Replay Value: Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley, Piper, Harry Hood
[1] No vocal jam.
[2] Phish debut.
Sneakin' Sally did not contain a vocal jam. This show marked the Phish debuts of Sweet Jane and Sabotage. The soundcheck's Shafty contained a Fire (Ohio Players) tease from Trey and Maze quotes from Trey and Fish sung to the tune of Shafty.
