(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) On 4/16/92, Phish began a legendary five night run (4/16-21/92). Each of these shows is listed among people's favorites, and I never saw any other Phish shows that came close to this...

You haven't really heard Phish if you haven't heard some of these five shows, I've heard 4/16 about a million times but have finally heard the other 4 (4/16-4/21) a few times now. I'm not saying they didn't play well afterwards, obviously they have and did, Island tour and fall 97 is simply...

So much has been said of the April 92 West Coast run that I have nothing new to add. It's just awesome. That said, the Weekapaug in this show is one of my absolute favorites of all time. Mike's forwardness in these mixes really gives you a good taste of the magic he works in the band, and in...

Top Phish Show #4. I had been going back and forth debating inwardly whether context mattered when listening to these shows. I decided to take a week off from listening to shows from 1992, and I think it helped tremendously with respect to this show. It is now my favorite show of '92, and by a...

Really good show! Very nice Mike heavy mix. Good playing. A little loose during Bouncing, Fee and the begining of Maze, but overall a great first set. The Forbin's narration is awesome and unique with the Icculus in there. Rocking Antelope. Great set openers tonight with Sanity and Buried...

This is my favorite Phish show. Owned these tapes about 18 years ago not long after I first heard Phish. Hard to avoid developing an obsession for the band when you have this show in your collection. It's priceless.

in my opinion, this run from 4/16-21/92 is one of the only string of shows that compares to the island tour in '98. this night is probably my favorite of the run. any show that opens with buried alive is probably going to be pretty hot, and i love the pairing with a red hot possum. trey...

My first Phish bootleg on tape back in 94 and still one of my most coveted...

Wow. Sometimes the magic really comes across on the tape. Buried>Possum is a fantastic opener, the band sounds incredible. It's Ice has been sounding good but here it sounds great. I'll always have affection for Bouncing, it's perfectly placed here. The back half of SOAM absolutely rips. Rift has...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

Dissonant, intense and tension-filled jam with a scorching hot peak.
Unusually restrained, sublime and enchanting playing by Trey. Mike is louder in the mix, and this interesting combination makes for a spellbinding version.
1992-04-16 • Possum (10:32) Set 1
> in from "Buried Alive." Smoking hot jam plus signals that were customary in this period.
1992-04-16 • It's Ice (8:53) Set 1
Following "Buried Alive" and a smoking "Possum" opening this show, this excellent version keeps the joint rocking.
More great Mike early in the 1st jam. When Trey jumps in, he begins with rocking/dissonant play, which was typical in this period. Then his play gets more melodic, before jacking up the tension and dissonance again. The 2nd jam is short but pretty cool and rocking. Go Mike!
1992-04-16 • Llama (5:33) Set 2
Extra jamming from Page and Trey. Recording has the bass cranked up, so check out the Mike action - sweet!
