Clearly the part of this show that will be remembered is BB. There are two thoughts on how that went and I think for the most part both are correct based on who you are. The hour King played was not the type of music (straight blues) most of the younger fans had interest in or excepted when...

I figured I would review this after fluffing the Twist in the forum. This show has a somewhat "backwards" structure in that the 1st and 3rd quarters are very strong, but then both sets go downhill. The opening four tunes were a fantastic start to my first post-hiatus show, all well-played, lots...

(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) Ah"...the Continental Airlines Arena in beautiful northeastern New Jersey, formerly known as the Brendan Byrne Arena and home to numerous excellent Dead shows in the 80's (with tapes...

(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) The process of waiting on line and getting into this show, then getting frisked has never been more disorganized and simply pathetic than on this night. I think anyone who was there...

2/24/2003 was my first show of 2.0 and first since Hershey Park in 2000. I was excited to see Phish together with my wife-to-be for the first time, as well as family and friends from all over Jersey. This was the first and most likely the last time that Phish performed at Continental Airlines...

If you don't like the blues, skip the latter half of the 1st set. I enjoyed the guitar interplay, although Page could be louder on the organ. Page finally gets his licks in on The Thrill Is Gone, and shows that he can jam admirably in a 12-bar blues format. Outside of the BB section,...

Welcome to beautiful wastelands of East Rutherford NJ!! Tripping hard on purple oregon mushrooms (Thanks Dar for getting those from Layla!), led me to believe for the longest time while outside the lot that I was actually stuck in the "Dolldrums" from the Phantom Tollboth, the creatures from the...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

Starting at a slower tempo than most versions, this "Halley's" has a groovy swing to it, as well as a few sprinkles of a darker sentiment. Excellent dynamics modulation, with the energy rising and falling.
2003-02-24 • Farmhouse (6:19) Set e
This strong 2.0 version features great Fish and Trey teaming, some nice licks from Trey, and a cool fakeout ending of sorts. 2.0 doubters should give this surprising encore selection a spin to cleanse their senses.
2003-02-24 • Twist (18:57) Set 2
An excellent, improvisational jam with a sinister sentiment enhanced by effects develops from the standard.
