This is much more an experience review than a show review, drafted originally for this thread: http://forum.phish.net/?thread=1328138901 ***************************************************** OK, various parts of this story are splattered all over the forum, but never in the context of...

First set is fine - pretty crunchy Stealing Time and Ya Mar is welcome in any set, but not much else to report. The second set, though, hangs together very well and is most certainly worth your time. C&P books along until it drops into a more relaxed stage (Mike's bass notes an excellent...

Best of the three shows I been to. Llama opener, a raging Gin, amazing 2nd set. The whole thing was so much fun.

Ryan is bang on, here. I saw Great Woods through Starlake on this tour, and this show, with the possible exception of Oswego, was definitely the highlight. There's not much to find fault with in the first set when you get a hot PYITE>Ghost to start things off. But when the first 50 minutes of Set...

This show starts a stretch of one of the best weeks ever for Phish. This to Camden on the 4th is a one week stretch of top notch, 5 star, highly above average shows.

My very first show! I didn't know a single song, just went with a friend of mine because I had heard they were good. I'd never experienced a concert like this before and I was immediately hooked! Went home, bought all the CD's up to then (I believe Rift was the latest then) and listened to them...

It was twenty years ago today... The HORDE tour presented by Canada Dry and Maxell. the Line-Up: Col. Bruce Hampton (ret.) and the Aquarium Rescue Unit -> Widespread Panic Spin Doctors Phish Blues Traveler It was not my first rock show (Rush in 1991)... but it was my first...

Overall a mixed bag, with some clear and praise-worthy highlights. Step 1: Download the Crosseyed. Do it now! First set is a "song selection" affair: Llama is always a treat, and a rocking Julius, fun and loose Lawn Boy>>Ya Mar combo, and Suzy Greenberg that nearly brought the house down are...

There was a half-assed attempt to recite Destiny Unbound from the crowd as they walked out for the second set. This had been planned I believe by phish.net ( I def could be wrong) well before tour began. Anyways, the Destiny would have to wait a couple more years but the Birds that followed was...

This show starts off with a pretty nutty Chalk Dust, with a guitar-as-siren breakdown in the middle, then chugs along until the band hits Gin, a jaunty classic-rock Gin that has a jam that could probably have been made its own song if the band so wanted (credit Fishman for some great drumming...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2013-07-10 • Crosseyed and Painless (16:06) Set 2 Noteworthy
Trey seems less interested in the typical type-I shred fest and more interested in a nice space funk jaunt. He sits back on rhythm, but his lack of presence in the lead position does not cause this jam to suffer. Gordon and Page bring a lot fresh ideas and deliver a jam that never lacks direction or focus.
2000-06-29 • Drowned (18:25) Set 1 Noteworthy
Great version with an upbeat, pulsing jam that morphs into a celebratory, "Gin"-on-steroids-like section that segues seamlessly into "Rock And Roll."
2000-06-28 • Bathtub Gin (17:09) Set 1 Noteworthy
Excellent and exultant "Gin." The jam breaks into a funky groove that grows increasingly rocking and uplifting. Though it never gets far removed from "Gin" proper, the jam has magical, spirit-moving power.
1999-07-15 • Kung (3:02) Set 2 Noteworthy
Epic, exploratory "SOAM" -> "Kung" -> "Jam." "SOAM" has excellent tempo shifts and dissonance before the -> to a wild "Kung," which leads to an incredible, multi-part groove-based jam (and which is really a return to "SOAM").
1999-07-15 • Split Open and Melt (10:30) Set 2 Noteworthy
Epic, exploratory "SOAM" -> "Kung" -> "Jam." "SOAM" has excellent tempo shifts and dissonance before the -> to a wild "Kung," which leads to an incredible, multi-part groove-based jam (and which is really a return to "SOAM").
1999-07-15 • Farmhouse (9:46) Set 1 Noteworthy
Great extended "Type I" version which demonstrates the song's potential as a straightforward jamming vehicle. Here, the jam moves beyond the typical Page/Trey interplay to a full-band swing with a relaxed beginning that builds in power to a soaring crescendo.
1999-07-15 • Meatstick (20:42) Set 2 Noteworthy
Coasts along in a low-key ambient groove, picks up energy and direction at about 16 minutes, and then returns to more of the same easygoing jamming until > to a very strong "SOAM." Longest version to date.
1999-07-15 • Jam (16:59) Set 2 Noteworthy
Epic, exploratory "SOAM" -> "Kung" -> "Jam." "SOAM" has excellent tempo shifts and dissonance before the -> to a wild "Kung," which leads to an incredible, multi-part groove-based jam (and which is really a return to "SOAM").
1999-07-15 • You Enjoy Myself (23:58) Set 1 Noteworthy
Killer jam segment! (Available on LiveBait Vol. 04) (No B&D.)
1994-07-02 • Weekapaug Groove (11:14) Set 2 Noteworthy
Thrilling version which peaks with the melody of "2001" and also teases "Antelope" in the jam.
Fiery and rocking "Type I" version with a nice big peak.
2011-06-01 • No Quarter (9:50) Set 2
Debut of the "Led Zeppelin" classic emerges > from a foggy "Tweezer".
The jam tracks "After Midnight" fairly closely for a stretch, then around 9:00 it breaks into a nice upbeat groove which swiftly settles down.
Very solid with excellent playing by Trey. The intensity modulates up and down in the jam, with two enormous peaks.
"A Love Supreme" tease. Around 7:50, the jam migrates away from "Birds" into a deep and somewhat dark groove-based jam. Unfinished with solid -> to "Catapult."
