I was up against the stage the whole show and when the band walked off the stage, Page had to walk around the front of his piano and leaned over and high fived me. I was on the cover of the Free Press the next day.

It’s interesting, the second live concert recording I had acquired (and the first through snail mail trade) was 4-4-94. A friend of mine, “Mad Dog” Meg Davis (don’t ask) had a copy of 8-7-93 that I dubbed first. Before I got into Phish (or even knew who the hell they were) a friend and I...

This is a good back home, end of tour, show. Good energy. Not a bad bootleg. Some feedback here and there and a few fade-outs that could be tape flips. Solid Suzy opener with the Santana teases right off the bat. Good Maze as well. This song is probably the best of the new material this...

How'd that 2nd set go?
1994-04-04 by MiguelSanchez 4
this is a pretty solid show. it is definitely different for this era of phish. the first set is pretty standard '94 phish. maze and reba shine. the debut of scent of a mule is a good time. the second set is chalk full of fun debuts and good playing. down with disease and if i could debut to...

to those of us that were there, this was a pretty special show. It was the end of an era and we all knew it, there was no going back. The show was good, what you would expect for a tour openner with lots of new material. The energy was intense because of the size.....

According to this interview with Mike Gordon from March 7, 1992 (at about 12 minutes in), the band was planning on doing a kickline at the end of the walkout of Cracklin' Rosie at this show, and having the security guys join in. This fits with the music of the final chorus, and would explain...

Wolfman's Brother is a must hear. Its not long just really really tight!
1992-03-12 by DollarBill 2
Nice average show for this time period. Only two new originals. The second Weigh is not quite as good as the first. Fishman - "Everyone just pretend that I am Neil Diamond."

Good and very unique show. The highlights here are the Sand jam and the sit ins. This is the 2nd time we see horns with TAB, the first being 4/17/1998. This is definitely the most interesting version of Last Tube in '99, that's not saying a whole lot though as it isn't a jam vehicle yet. Seeing...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1997-03-18 • Harry Hood (15:40) Set 1 Noteworthy
This majestic and graceful "Hood" is very powerful and moving, with soulful, delicate teaming by Trey and Page. The peak rises to lofty heights without ever losing its elegant beauty. Live Phish Archival Release.
1994-04-04 • Magilla (4:32) Set 2 Noteworthy
Incredible, fantastic version. While the Giant Country Horns add an undeniable boost to this powerhouse version, it is Jon Fishman who fuels this colorful rendition, arguably more notable for its scuttling, shuffling beat than the addition of trumpet, sax, or trombone. The version you take to your desert island.
1994-04-04 • It's Ice (10:24) Set 1 Noteworthy
"Hey Bulldog" teases during an extended jam. Page led at first, but it becomes a full band rocker.
1994-04-04 • Reba (11:20) Set 1 Noteworthy
Following a few flubs in the first "Reba" of 1994, Trey blasts on through the composed section and modulates intensity. After teaming up with Mike to tease "A-Hunting We Will Go," super soloing dominates the version - listen for Page syncing up to develop extended "Batman Theme Song" teasing - which becomes wonderfully syncopated, with plucky guitar offset by dynamic Fish. This builds into a "heavy metal" sort of frenzy, with the playing becoming exceedingly, and exceptionally crazy, before the jam spikes to a pointed peak.
1992-05-18 • Mike's Song (8:43) Set 2 Noteworthy
Awesome early version which breaks into a cool, staccato-infused groove. The intensity builds to a fever pitch, with great comping B-3 action and strong rocking play. The little 2nd jam, with solid stop/start playing, is icing on the cake.
1992-05-18 • Llama (5:08) Set 2 Noteworthy
Great Page section with awesome tension. Trey's playing is so lightning fast here, they should have nicknamed him "Flash." A standout even on this chart. Must-hear.
Extended, jazzy jam with Dave Grippo on alto sax and James Harvey on trombone.
Version benefits from excellent contributions from musicians Grippo (alto sax) and Harvey (trombone), but Mike may steal the show, here. Fun, Funky, Phish.
1994-04-04 • Julius (6:39) Set 2
Debut with the Giant Country Horns. Played at a slightly faster tempo than most subsequent versions. Establishes precedent for this song to be a pretty intense, raging one. SBD available on the "Spreadsheet."
Debut includes a Page solo followed by the familiar klezmer style riff as the whole band accelerates the riff until Mike starts howling, indicating a return to the lyrics.
Debut of the complete song.
Debut with the Giant Country Horns. The song was played in a lower key throughout 1994 than all versions from 1995 to present. The jam includes a great horn-infused "Alumni Blues" jam.
1994-04-04 • Harry Hood (11:21) Set e
Jam starts with a beautiful, flowing section with great Page and Mike. Then Trey and Fish kick things up several notches.
Fish rules in this pounding, percussive, and intense version with rhythmic gyrations and a "Tweeprise"-like peak.
The jam is creative and very different, including solid use of tension and dissonance to help make the peak all the sweeter.
