PHISH, THURSDAY 06/29/2000
PNC BANK ARTS CENTER
Holmdel, NJ

SET 1:

Funky Bitch: Standard. >

Wilson: Standard.

Limb By Limb: Super groovy jam in the midst of this one, very cool and different for this tune. Enormous peak. As far as I am concerned this is an easy all timer and highly recommended.

Drowned: Total groove monster. If you can’t get down with this one, well sir I don’t know what to tell you. This is a highlight for the tour and for the year in general. It is a great characterization of the sound that defined 2000. Incredible Drowned. Easy all timer and highly recommended. Amazing segue into Rock and Roll. ->

Rock and Roll: Standard hell fire.

SET 2:

Birds of a Feather[1] - Around 10:45 Trey employs that same effect he uses in that epic 9.27.00. Outside of that little nugget, this version mostly bores me.

Piper: Standard. ->

Catapult: Standard. >

Heavy Things: Standard. >

Sand: Very boring.

Meatstick[2] Banter is fun >

Cities[3] - Standard, great segue into Walk Away ->

Walk Away: Standard. >

Run Like an Antelope: Standard. >

Frankenstein: Standard.

Wading in the Velvet Sea: Standard.

ENCORE:

Character Zero: Trey is a rock star.

Summary: Like the night before, I am not as high as the rest of .net on this show as well. I am good giving a 4/5. Limb is great and Drowned is completely epic – a career highlight honestly – it’s that good.

Replay Value: Limb By Limb, Drowned

[1] Unfinished.
[2] Trey improvised a verse noting: “There's no song about Paul Languedoc, and there's no song about Kuroda; there's only one about Carini, and his lumpy head!" Trey then jokingly talked about the Meatstick Dance being a fad in Japan.
[3] Lyrics altered to reference Tokyo, the Meatstick Dance, and sushi.

Birds contained a tease of A Love Supreme and was unfinished. Catapult was sung over an atypical jam that bridged Birds and Heavy Things. This gig featured an eventful Meatstick: Sofi Dillof made a guest appearance for the Meatstick dance. Several fans ran on stage and were chased off by Pete Carini and then by Bart Butler, both of whom Trey thanked. Trey improvised a verse noting: “There’s no song about Paul Languedoc, and there’s no song about Kuroda; there’s only one about Carini, and his lumpy head!” Trey then jokingly talked about the Meatstick Dance being a fad in Japan. The lyrics to Cities were altered to reference Tokyo, the Meatstick Dance, and sushi. Antelope included Meatstick teases in the intro. At the end of the second set, Trey thanked the crew (particularly Carini, for being a good sport). Trey mentioned how much of a “home show” it is for the band to play in Holmdel, and led one final Meatstick tease.
