Things start out very promising with The Curtain to open. I'll take this tune to open any show. Sample to follow is just another step forward in high energy and the two pack a nice one-two opening punch. The Stash is very-well played, tight and energetic. Forbin's > Mockingbird is an...

Cant believe there's not a review of this show yet. If I'm not mistaken this became the "Simple" bootleg, at least by '98...... This is my favorite version of Reba ever.......

I was there, and it was my one and only birthday show. I went to all of the four bars, two upstairs, two downstairs, and collected a free Sierra Nevada Pale Ale from each. As for the show, I really don't remember too much, as it was 16 years ago now and we had gone pretty hard the first two...

Must hear versions of Possum and Reba! The macaroni and cheese boxes add a surprising percussive element to Possum, well done!

I love this one. In fact, it might be my favorite show of the year. it is pretty freaking solid from start to finish. now, can you imagine a phish/wsp double bill at the warfield not being sold out now-a-days... or hell, even 2 years later. set one gets cranked up appropriately with a...

Not much else to be said about this one that the other reviewers didn't cover. Great first set playing Fish is introduced as the Yo-Yo Ma of vaccuum cleaner playing in IDK. Page finally stretches out his solo in Maze! If there is a weak spot here it's the Bouncing. Very cool Catapult in...

I have rated this show five stars as it was such a personal live-changing event. I was vaguely aware that Phish was playing a show soon at the Warfield and, while I'd never heard them before, I had read lots of talk online (and even voted YES to create a new rec.music.phish newsgroup a month...

The 39th show of the tour is another great night at the Warfield. They really dig deep to make the set list completely different than last night. This was an audience source recording so there was a little more crowd than I'm used to, but still good. Ripping Llama to open up first set, then...

For those of us who care about such things, this is my favorite version of hood. Page is particularly active In the 25/8 runup. Mike finds a hook and page follows. Fish directs traffic until Trey steps In. When Trey hits that flurry of notes...it’s like for a moment we fly above all the pain...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1994-05-27 • Harry Hood (12:51) Set 1 Noteworthy
Mike gets into this really great groove starting at about 8:00 that everyone else plays off. Even as Fish, Trey and Page bring the heat, Mike keeps the licks of this groove rolling. And the ending section is just smoking hot.
1994-05-26 • Fluffhead (14:26) Set 2 Noteworthy
Although no perfect live performance may exist in this Universe, this superlative version is one of a very small handful that comes close. All the treacherous sections - The Chase, Who Do? We Do!, Bundle of Joy - these sections are nearly flawless. Like most '94 versions, this one is intense and hard rocking, yet performed with remarkable precision. Page's solo in Clod is super, while Mike's and Fish's dynamic play throughout is on full display in a high energy Arrival.
1993-03-27 • Weekapaug Groove (12:20) Set 2 Noteworthy
"On Broadway" teasing/jamming leads to an improvisational breakdown section with good variation in the intensity. At 8:15, the jam breaks into an inspired "Type II" section which concludes with an explosive return to "Weekapaug."
1992-04-17 • Reba (14:06) Set 1 Noteworthy
Progressive and dynamic, this "Reba" features excellent full-band play. While great in a vacuum, the notable rhythmic shifts, accentuated by marked and exploratory syncopation, provide a crystal ball glimpse into the improvisational future of this most Phishy of songs.
1992-04-17 • Brother (5:42) Set 2 Noteworthy
Page's brother appeared on stage in a bathtub for this second set opener. Sick Trey. Everyone excels in this version, but especially Fish. (timing is estimated because tape begins about 45 seconds into the song).
1994-05-27 • David Bowie (12:44) Set 1
Even though most of the jam is technically "Type I," this is an intense, thriller. Don't overlook.
1994-05-27 • Reba (12:44) Set 2
Sweet jam featuring truly dynamic modulation and really awesome playing from Trey. The sort of version you could listen to all day. (Or at least Four times. Focusing upon each musician, independently.) Trey alights upon a great theme - accented by cool playing from Fish - before the jam swings through a build both measured and melodic to, in time, become explosive.
1994-05-27 • Simple (3:48) Set 2
Crazy debut version, out of "Mike's Song," naturally.
1994-05-27 • Possum (11:50) Set 2
Extended hi-hat intro with the crowd shaking macaroni boxes and "Flintstones Theme" tease. Fish: "Shake your macaroni!"
Lots of screaming at various points is a good indicator that this somewhat wacky, blistering version packs some heat.
1993-03-27 • Reba (13:28) Set 1
Attentive version with Trey totally on point, his playing rife with melodic content and truly inspired, as if tapping into some sort of otherworldly intent. A wonderful build with some impressive Mike thrown in.
Solid but typical play in the 1st jam leads to good improvisation in the 2nd jam. Beginning with sounds similar to the as yet unhatched "Simple," the jam returns to typical "Mike's" jamming, then breaks into Mike-led, rhythmic and exploratory play, before coming home to wrap up.
Great version - sounds like a neck-and-neck horse race between Fish and Trey trying to keep pace with each other.
1993-03-26 • Tweezer (12:17) Set 2
Very drawn-out, extended ending.
1992-04-17 • David Bowie (11:12) Set 1
Nice jam that gets out there, then -> to "Catapult" and -> back to "Bowie" in the trill section.
