This was a very solid show that doesn't get much recognition, hence, this being the 1st review, and the show happened in 1999. The 1st set looks pretty standard on paper, but it was full of energy, and very well played. The 2nd set just seemed to flow so perfectly. And of course, you thought...

So this is my first review on .net and this was the first Phish show I ever attended. I'm an achievement whore now, so... '96 Phish gets overlooked a lot in general, and this show is probably the most overlooked one of '96 - and for good reason. This was Iowa, in the middle of November,...

This was my first show as well. I had never heard of Phish. I was working as a waiter at the local Village Inn Restaurant the morning of the show when a new friend told me about this band coming to town. He was going with his girlfriend and some others. I asked if I could tag along, he said sure...

This is an overall fantastic show with a few bumps along the way. Set 1 is pretty straight forward until Gin kicks in. This Gin jam starts out with some beautiful loop layering by Trey, followed by some great hose. Into some great tension and release peaks, top notch. Limb By Limb is the only...

SET 1: Chalk Dust Torture: This Chalkdust lights the crowd on fire, it’s on! The Moma Dance > Sparkle, First Tube: Standard and Solid. Bathtub Gin: Big time hose jam. Crowd gets soaked thoroughly from 13 minutes on. Check out the 16-minute mark. Big time peak! This is an all-timer! Trey is...

So this was my 1st show. I got a free ticket from a friend at Western Illinois University and hopped in a 3 card train of people who had already been fans. I had heard a live one and liked some of the songs. I had no idea how this would change my appreciation for live music. Since I had...

SET 1: AC/DC Bag: Solid but kind of short version. Good way to start off the show though > Uncle Pen: Rocks right along like you would excpect. Wolfman's Brother: Trey almost blows a lyric and then gets it at the last millisecond. Pretty vanilla version right here. > Cars Trucks...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1999-10-01 • Bathtub Gin (18:46) Set 1
A classic '99 "Gin." Trey's tone and soaring but shredding playing in this straightforward version evince the unique style and sound that could only belong in 1999.
1999-10-01 • Gumbo (12:37) Set 2
Somewhat bluesy groove with a "Can't Turn You Loose" tease from Page. Big crescendo of noise near the end.
Page solo > Trey guitar/vocal solo > Page on piano, Trey on guitar with crazy falsetto singing > klezmer.
