WOW. Just, WOW. Instant classic, without a doubt. Probably my show of the year. 46 Days -> Slave makes you feel like you're on a cloud. Simple and Frankie Says (first Type 2 in 18 years!) are an unimaginable dance party. Type 1 highlights abound with Possum, Antelope, and Moma. But...

Song placement continues to be unique, a Bug opener really shakes things up, plus it's always nice to hear. Really refreshing to see that continue. First set itself was well played. And then there's set two. What on earth is even happening? Phish coming out and playing four song second sets? The...

Bay Area got 4 5-star shows in 1 year, eh. That's something not even New York has done, and they get a shot at it almost every damn year. First things first. Jon Fishman played his goddamn ass off the whole show. Especially set 1, where songs like My Soul got all sorts of energy. Maze,...

Magnificent playing in an incredible show. Winterqueen has hints of Beneath the Sea of Stars and Ocelot woven into it. Frankie Says is a nice bust out with a superb jam to follow. Stay and listen all the way to the end where the Carini-Mothership enters the atmosphere bathing everyone in...

Musically speaking, that was everything I'd want in a show. Different placements, everything with the gas, first set and second. From the very beginning - it was extremely well done. BOTT through Destiny - all punch above the usual. Maze and Destiny especially since the reunion in '09. Reba -...

Truly incredible that they’re playing at this level two shows into the tour. I kept thinking that I was hearing teases during improvised sections because the jamming was so good and sounded composed. Too many highlights to even note (loved the jammed Frankie Says, one of the most underrated and...

Total banger of a show. I was there on the floor at Chase. This was a special show. First set started with one great tune after another. Possum opener set the tone, and really those first six songs up until Shade had the crowd fired up. Slave mid-first set (!), and incredible peaking...

Couch toured this one, loved the Bug opener honestly, its such a great song. Rest of the first set was tight, probably best first set of the 3 shows so far - shoutout to that Steam. Second set on Paper, looks pretty suspect. Evolve was fine, but things get taken up a notch in this Set Your...

Three words: [b]Holy fucking shitballs[/b] This was my 30th show and I happened to be hitting the jazz cabbage heavily during Meat. By the time Antelope started, I knew I was in trouble.. Trey took my soul, loaded it in a cannon and shot it out into space. My entire existence had been...

The Carini, that will hold a special place in my heart forever. My first birthday show and in San Fran, took my brother who lives there. He was pretty blown away I think it was his 4th show. The first set was very interesting and the shade, winterqueen was a good way to usher in the cooler...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2021-10-17 • Steam (13:01) Set 1 Noteworthy
A big fat "DEG" tease around 6:00 sends this jam into a deep thrumming zone, where it remains until a brief major-key ascent in the waning moments.
2021-10-16 • Frankie Says (17:02) Set 2 Noteworthy
Kicking off the back half of a monstrous set 2 and busting out after a 196 show gap, what seems like a quick breather instead grows sea legs and takes a walk. Roughly 3:30 in, Mike and Page drive the jam to open flowery pastures, as Fish propels with cowbells and Trey searches for jam grooves. The groove washes out to sea and coasts on gentle waves upon Fish's ride, slowly building momentum to a characteristic melodic theme of fall '21. At the 8:30 mark the jam takes heavier rhythmic cues and a dance party throw down starts building. "Manteca" tease at 9:35. Thick effect-laden Trey and the cymbal-snare dance of Fish propel the back half of this jam to a start-stop "woo" passage. "Bathtub Gin" teases at 13:00 and 15:15.
All four musicians contribute to one of the finest versions in the nation. Featuring far more than "extra mustard," although there's that, too, Trey's typically great 21 play leads to a passage of extended improvisation, a deeply textured jam that plays off a false peak to inform an incendiary conclusion.
The first of two massive jams from a four (!) song second set, which drops into a relaxed late-night groove before turning towards a hearty upbeat jam with some sprightly work from both Trey and Page, enters a darker growling space thanks to Trey's effects and some very strong playing from Mike, and then devolves into strangeness before returning back to "SYSF" proper.
2021-10-17 • Wingsuit (11:10) Set 2
After an introspective opening sets the mood, this version builds and flows like a torrid stream with great Page/Trey teaming, then resolves passionately and > into "CDT".
Soars into blissful upbeat territory right out of the gate, then winds its way down into darker territory at Page's urging, Fish pushing the pace with considerable aplomb. Fish switches up the beat and a more danceable jam emerges, then Trey flips on the "anthemic" switch and builds to a nice peak, and before you know it we're back to "CDT" to close out the set. Superb version.
2021-10-16 • 46 Days (11:29) Set 1
Around the 5:00 mark the jam enters a more dynamic space, allowing for flourishes by all four in a strong collective effort. Mellows out in the final minutes for a very pleasant ending and -> "Slave".
A mostly smooth -> in from "46 Days". The first Set 1 version of "STTTL" in over five years is a gem. This jam peaks and peaks again, and just when you think it's peaked for the final time, it peaks once more.
2021-10-16 • Simple (12:02) Set 1
A kaleidoscopic outro of interweaving delay riffs then shifts at 7:00 to a pumped-up syncopated groove, drawing similarities to "Simple's" 1996 heyday.
2021-10-16 • Bathtub Gin (18:13) Set 2
While the jam becomes more serene and contemplative, Fish keeps things moving at a decent clip with a snappy beat, eventually leading to a more rocking conclusion bolstered by swelling synths.
The first "Moma" to serve as set-closer fills the role admirably with an atypically hard-driving, intense outro over shouts of "Monkey Man" from Fish.
2021-10-16 • Carini (18:41) Set e
This massive version shows up in the Encore, and anyone who decided to leave early truly missed out. Trey's nimble playing and Page flourishing on the piano kick this jam off. By 11:15, it turns into an effects-fest, with Fish laying down a cool texture for the exploration. The band eventually works its way back to the song proper to, officially, close the show out.
