Let's see... Opening up the song book? Check. 9 tour debuts tonight, including the much-missed A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing. A bit disappointed there weren't more water songs, but hey. Well-played first set? Check. Nothing egregiously bad, and a nice energy over the whole thing, probably...

My first Phish show (and the first day of the rest of my life)! The place was about 2/3 sold out. I remember buying tickets at the box office a few weeks before for maybe $15. We hung out in the lot before the show. Every show I had previously attended had been of the "Alternative Rock"...

Wow. Wow. Wow. Holy shit. I’m pretty speechless. No matter how many shows you go to, this is a band that will always find ways to blow your mind. I love everything about Phish and I’ll never forget how special it was being there tonight. Both sets were incredible and flowed so well. Thank you...

Getting this down in the car on the way back from Jones Beach, a place I despise getting to as a Manhattan resident but love being at when the weather is good: That was something else. After a somewhat subdued and eclectic N1, perhaps at least partially the result of several outdoor shows in a...

Oh and Avelnu Malkenu spurred me to start going to temple again.

This show is why I love Phish. As the rain poured on us all, they played throughout - almost as if they were determined to outlast the storm. They kept the energy high and made us forget about the weather, generating a warmth you'd never believe was possible from music as Page worked magic on...

This tour closer was predictably awesome as the band was coming towards end of tour with a full head of steam. Song selection, psychedilia, Type IIish form-breaking expansions and transitions. I felt like the band was giving those hardcore heads who trekked it out for a Wednesday night show a...

well this was my very first phish show... at the time i was so over whelmed with the whole scene and the sheer amount of wild carnival antics going on that i missed the true esence of the first couple songs... cities came out hot and i was back in my comfort zone... funly bitch was fun, but the...

I attended this show and recall a lot of suburban high-school aged fans in attendance, as Phish was growing more popular in the New York metro area. They would get a taste of "fun" Phish and a really big bite of "weird" Phish at this show. The Tweezer is one of the most experimental pieces of...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2022-07-26 Leaves (16:44) Set 2 Noteworthy
"Leaves" gets its first chance to truly "breathe" in this extended journey. Marvelous melodic interplay and "Beneath a Sea of Stars"-esque ethereal playing abound as the band leaves the song structure in the dust. The jam's power grows in its psychedelia, with every musical pivot well-executed and mellifluously melting into one another. The music then settles into a mysterious yet incredibly powerful space, with Trey layering multiple delay effects over Mike's synth bass, Page's stunning keyboards, and Fishman's ever-steady rhythmic rudder. Highly inspired improvisation.
2012-07-03 Golden Age (13:15) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from "Sand." There is fantastic interplay between Page and Trey throughout this jam, and Mike also does his part to punctuate the groove. Concludes with a beautiful ambient passage led by Page on the Wurlitzer. A top "GA."
Very good, multi-section "Type II" jam which starts off rocking, quiets down, then rebuilds with an upbeat sense.
1995-06-29 David Bowie (27:35) Set 2 Noteworthy
Extremely improvisational. Pretty much leaves "Bowie" in the dust following the composed section, only returning at the very end. A+ for exploration.
1995-06-29 You Enjoy Myself (24:20) Set 2 Noteworthy
AMAZING B&D SEGMENT!
1995-06-28 Dave's Energy Guide (0:40) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from "Tweezer." "DEG" is sandwiched inside the "Tweezer" jam.
1995-06-28 Tweezer (19:35) Set 2 Noteworthy
Can you !#@!!&% believe this? "Dave's Energy Guide" sandwich and a "Cannonball" jam.
1995-06-28 Tweezer (10:33) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from "DEG" as this excellent "Tweezer" continues.
1994-07-15 Split Open and Melt (12:06) Set 1 Noteworthy
Really cool and different "SOAM" with ghoulish tension and a great section with Page out in front leading the quick tempo, rhythmic and frenzied jamming. At other points, the jamming could be fairly described as demented.
1993-07-23 Run Like an Antelope (11:46) Set 2 Noteworthy
Searing hot and extremely improvisational jamming, with several false peaks followed by gut-wrenching tension.
> from "Mike's Song" (in a show that would, ultimately, become a "Groove") slinky play emerges as the lyrics fade, the band riding a wonderfully-paced, feel-good wave. Check out Page, around the ten-minute mark, as he shakes things up, via his concert grand, a really cool passage that Trey responds to in kind. Page shifts to his keys, and play becomes refreshingly rocking, with a set of repeated riffs that are as pleasant as the surf smacking the shore. Trey breaks free, working the version to a strong peak before play uniquely cools to a perfectly placed "Ya Mar."
For the second time this summer Phish steal a little extra time to extend a version of this rocker. As at Deer Creek, the band stays mostly within the confines of the song, but luxuriates in a laid back yet crisp approach that culminates in a "Meatstick" flavored peak that -> to NICU.
2022-07-26 Bathtub Gin (14:23) Set 1
At first quickens into an uptempo minor groove, then bursts back to major peaksville, before a final segment kicks in at 11:30 with the jam downshifting to moodier fare in which Trey slips the "Gin" riff to head home in a slightly off-kilter way, leading to > "Maze".
Trey's quarantine rocker breaks out for the first time into open-ended improvisation. The jam begins with a hint of normal "INNYLTB" guitar riffing before modulating to an airy major key section. The music coasts along pleasantly in this space before getting spacier. Trey begins a repeating minor pentatonic riff while Page soaks the air with fat synthesizer textures. It then modulates back towards major key territory while retaining a loose, psychedelic feel. The music fades out in a slightly ambient wash that > an astounding "Leaves."
2013-07-12 David Bowie (11:34) Set 1
Another good one with multiple minor/major mode shifts. There's also some nice rhythmic shifting and percussive coloring from Fish from 6:53 - 7:57.
