After a few months off, Phish played its first gig of 1988 in a new place - Gallagher's, in Waitsfield, about 45 minutes from Burlington. 1988 was a big year for the band. They played 95 shows (of which 53 are recorded and available) including their first stops in Pennsylvania, New York City, New...

My download from The Spreadsheet is an aud of substandard quality (not surprising for the time period... I wouldn't classify it as unlistenable). At times Trey is rather low in the mix; conversely, Page is quite high in the mix, contributing to the spaciness of YEM, Hood, and other tunes. I...

Son Seals, Del McCoury, Santana, Dave Matthews, MMW, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Kid Rock, Jay-Z. These are some of the most famous guests in Phish history. But back in February of 1988, the band was small enough that rowdy onlookers were able to come onstage and play with the band. Such was...

I was a little dubious about the date of this show, as Page is not playing the Yamaha electric piano that he plays on other February 1988 shows (and played all the way through 1992). The inclusion of The Lizards in this set contradicts this, and it seems more likely that the Yamaha just didn't...

No tapes are in the archive for this show, so we rely on fan sources. The result is that the audio that does exist on the spreadsheet may be chopped and cut from many other 88 shows. As I haven't walked through all of '88 yet, right now I'll treat this as its own show. The Bowie here clearly...

3.1/5 This show is just another standard '88 show. Some good playing as usual, but nothing that makes this show a must-listen. Set I kicks off with a nice Funky Bitch and Fluffhead, both of which are played well. First Curtain without "with" and it delivers nicely, but always feels empty...

Overall nothing amazing here to point out after listening. It's a very standard 1988 show, and for the most part contains far more covers than a good Phish show would. The covers here are well played here though, especially Mustang Sally. I'm not a big fan of '88 ACDC Bag or Possum (both being...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

John Carlton on drums and Fishman on trombone. Fish is actually pretty damned good! Awesome vocal jam. Check it out!
1988-02-03 • David Bowie (18:12) Set 1
Straightforward, somewhat dull jam up until the trill, but THEN, the band embarks on 6 minutes of exploration that gets well beyond "Bowie" proper before circling back to the basic theme.
