PHISH, SUNDAY 06/11/2000
HIBIYA OUTDOOR THEATRE
Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan

SET 1:

First Tube: Standard. >

Punch You in the Eye: Standard.

Horn: Standard. >

Ginseng Sullivan: Trey is quite sloppy.

Stash: Sort of tentative jamming in the 7 minute range here. The rest is no improvement. This is one of the weakest versions I have heard from 1.0.

Dirt: Standard.

Possum: Standard. >

It's Ice: Trey is very sloppy in the moments leading up to the breakdown jam.

Farmhouse:

SET 2:

Birds of a Feather:

Free: Not sure why this is a jam charts version. It has some length but other than that there is nothing special about it. >

Beauty of My Dreams: LOL somebody gets shushed in the first section of lyrics.

Bug: Standard, but I love how they backdoor the ending into the beginning of Bowie. Very clever transition. >

David Bowie: Standard.

When the Circus Comes:

Back on the Train: Standard. >

Harry Hood: They begin this jam with an awesome space jam, Mike thumping away in the lead. Trey gets caught up in his own loop for about two minutes that detract from this one, just very repetitive and sort of boring stuff. Once the 11 minute mark hits, this one picks up speed. I absolutely love how Trey creates this droning jam; it just sort of plods – then out of nowhere at 13:43 they explode into the climax. Super sick.

ENCORE:

Character Zero: Standard.

Summary: This show doesn’t do much for me. Very average. 3.5/5.

Replay Value: Harry Hood

Possum included Stash teases. A large rainbow formed over the theatre and cleared during the encore. The opening act was Big Frog.
