This was my first show, so this will be my first review. I was a wee lad of 15 growing up in Westchester, New York who fell in love with Phish after someone played me the Lawn Boy CD. I was already a Zappa fan, so I was instantly 'hooked'. Our group of young troubadours took the train and got to...

The final show at the beautiful Capitol Theater. I was home from college in California and had spent a few hours the previous night trying to score a ticket. I was unsuccessful, but managed to find one for the following night, which holds up today as an excellent show. This show encapsulates...

This is the single greatest show in Phish history for me (as of right now). Based on musical detail, I've never heard a Phish set so perfect in all areas as the raw, toneful, beautiful progression in set two between Harry and I didn't know (all I've heard from this night, in great quality...

I was in college at the time and took a bus from Boston to Port Chester as I didn't have a car. My roomate, who was from NY, and his buddy met me at the bus terminal. All I can say is that the show did not disappoint. Phish's set was very good and did not seemed rushed. I think everyone was...

This was my first show and there are so many ways I could take this thing. We'll start with a little history. I became aware of phish in the early fall of 1990 when my buddy Skills gave me a copy of Junta on tape. He wrote the track list on the lines and then carefully drew the phish logo in...

This was a fun show. Mike had a digital LED display atop his amplifier that scrolled the message: "P H I S H 2000". First time I noticed the beginnings of a "lot scene." At least 2 or 3 groups of folks semi-tailgating near the venue.

30 years ago today...hard to believe. One of my first tapes, I think I literally wore it out. So much to say, but I want to focus on this Reba. As a previous reviewer said this is an extremely under-rated version. Trey is soaring with a tone that is beautiful and "weep-inducing", and he...

Pretty good show at the Cap Theatre and good bootleg. There is some random monitor feedback and EQ noises in the first set as Paul and the crew get settled in. Nice solid Suzy to open with, into an equally tight ATR, which, for a second show in a row, segways right into Sloth. Sloth was a...

Second, and last night at the Capitol Theatre, eighth show of Fall Tour. Interesting how much feedback there still is in the monitors after the previous night. Pretty good recording. We start off with equipment problems tonight. No bass. So Fishman is hanging out by himself for a minute...

The Contact sounds weird b/c Trey was slow dancing w/ his grandma on stage.

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1992-11-28 • Mike's Song (9:22) Set 1 Noteworthy
Beginning with excellent "Walk This Way" jamming, the energy builds up to the first break. After a momentary cloud of dissonance, a percussive, exploratory groove expands nicely. A great version with 2 equally strong jams.
1992-11-27 • Divided Sky (16:45) Set 1 Noteworthy
Outstanding version, an anomaly that jams far longer than any other performance prior to 10/31/94. Of course Trey is blistering here, but this also has a distinctly quiet, settled section that anticipates the band's less rocking, more restrained sound in the later '90s.
1992-05-14 • Weekapaug Groove (4:57) Set 2 Noteworthy
Very cool jam, with a "Jimmy Crack Corn" tease/jam, then a -> to "Wait", which is excellent and includes a "Call To The Post" tease, followed by a -> back to "Weekapaug" to wrap up an improvisational and excellent version.
1992-05-14 • Wait (1:45) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from an excellent "Weekapaug." Great version of "Wait" with a "Call To The Post" tease and -> back to "Weekapaug."
1992-05-14 • Weekapaug Groove (3:39) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from an excellent "Wait" sandwich to wrap up a great and entertaining "Weekapaug."
1991-11-30 • It's Ice (8:57) Set 2 Noteworthy
Another version in which the whole band kicks in after letting Page shine briefly.
1990-10-06 • Possum (10:12) Set 1 Noteworthy
Improvisational jamming is spread throughout, as if in step with the musical ideas flowing from the mind of Trey.
1992-11-28 • Foam (9:38) Set 1
Awesome build-up section with Machine Gun Trey taking a strong lead position.
1992-11-28 • Stash (10:16) Set 1
Great, inspired version which gets out there and has very good Fish/Trey teaming.
Blistering, ripping version. Trey is sick!
Very cool and exploratory jam includes a nice quiet section and some good, rhythm-oriented jamming.
1992-11-27 • Possum (10:39) Set 2
Great tension building, multiple peaks and shredding Trey in a roaring "Possum."
1992-11-27 • David Bowie (13:28) Set 2
Jam starts in a quiet, pensive style, but picks up a head of steam, getting nasty and intense.
1992-05-14 • Fluffhead (14:34) Set 2
If there is any single section that has tripped up the band over the years, it is The Chase, and this version provides a nearly flawless example, proof that it can be done. Meanwhile, you may notice a bit of a wobble at the end of Who Do? We Do! This song is merciless on the performers. Some awesome and swinging Page and Mike are on display in Clod, and a top notch Arrival features some really sick trilling by Mr. Trey Anastasio. Great performance.
Mike and Fish kick it off nicely, then Trey provides some great variation in his playing, including some rapid-fire trilling. The short 2nd jam gets intense and electrifying, with more solid machine gun action from Trey.
