To my ears Phish was a dramatically better band in 1997-99 than in 1993: less precise, less 'clever,' less adversarial in their virtuosic geek-prog mischief-making - arguably less interesting! - but immeasurably more patient, empathetic, and open-hearted. More daring too, in a strange way. During...

This brief review is being written on the 18th anniversary of my first show. Hard to believe I'm twice as old now as I was then. It's a once in a lifetime moment to be able to account the first half of life before Phish and life since. I fondly recall the drive from the small town I grew up...

Set I: Show starts with high energy with a fierce Llama and Gulelah, and then gets the crowd dancing with Poor Heart. After, Phish delves into one of the few musical explorations of the night with Stash. The composed section was relatively tight minus a few mistakes by Trey, and then...

Not the best show of Summer 93, but it has it's moments, and those moments are wonderful. Chalk Dust -> Who Knows -> Chalk Dust is a solid sandwich to start. Split wanders for a bit then gets on track and from there is solid, it's capped off with a smooth segue into Glide. Divided Sky and Coil...

THE GOOD: This is a show of wild mood swings, which, as a whole leave it a bit weaker than the shows preceding it (and definitely those after), but there are some nice moments. Take the short wild jam at the end of Fee, the nice version of Glide, or the Crimes of the Mind closer (with the Dude!)....

CDT-> I Don't Know -> CDT Is a hell of a way to kick off a show! Trey punches back into Chalkdust in style too. Melt like every single stinkin one from this year (and month especially) is smoking! Also should be noted that Divided is an exceptionally played version. Excellent experimental...

The boys get a day off before crossing the border, to yet another new venue, to play the 61st show of the tour in Canada. I’m totally bummed that there is no first set recording to hear. Taper got caught at the border, or just late getting there? Anyway, this review will be very brief because...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1994-04-06 • Mike's Song (11:03) Set 2 Noteworthy
Awesome and very unique version in which the 1st jam is the centerpiece of the improvisation. The jam slips away from typical "Mike's" into a repetive motif, which then breaks into nice melodic play that grows increasingly tense. Then the jam picks up a rocking head of steam. The 2nd jam adds color with great "Tweeprise"-like jamming. A kick ass version for a surprisingly mediocre year for "Mike's."
1994-04-06 • Stash (12:39) Set 1
"Stash" starts off '94 in a jarring, intense manner, seems to peak, then breaks into a 2nd, really excellent improvisational section.
Trey is just ON FIRE! A thrilling, albeit straight-up "Type I" version.
A "Who Knows" (Jimi Hendrix and the Band of Gypsies) jam is sandwiched between slices of "CDT."
1993-08-09 • Who Knows (0:58) Set 1
-> in from "CDT." Brief jam on this Jimi Hendrix tune. -> back to "CDT."
-> in from a "Who Knows" jam (Jimi Hendrix) to finish this "CDT."
1993-08-09 • Fee (6:11) Set 1
Diverges from the standard outro into a tense little jam before > to "Split Open And Melt."
Improvisational, but a little bit weird. The jam begins with scat singing by Trey and immediately breaks into slow, plodding and percussive action. Returns to "SOAM" with sick trilling at the peak, then slows down, and down, and down, and -> to "Glide."
"Smoke on the Water" teases in the jam with Trey quoting "Here comes Speed Racer" during one of them. Vocal jam contains verses from "Psycho Killer." Great vocal segue into "Contact."
Another strong entry from Spring '93. Trey latches onto a catchy swinging theme in the jam which also teases "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and "Sundown" by Ontario's own Gordon Lightfoot.
