My second show, after the previous week’s show at Knoxville’s Tennessee Theater. I was not overwhelmed by Phish in Knoxville, but intrigued enough to see them again. With tickets purchased that morning at an outlet in Orlando (where I was attending a conference), two buddies and I rented a car...

THE GOOD: This show is a barn-burner. There are four gigantic bust-outs in this show, which come out of nowhere. While Brother is slightly tame, La Grange and Sparks are absolutely fantastic - versions to be placed in the best-ever category. That's not to say that there aren't strong points...
(Day 3: Random Setlist a Day Challenge. I will be listening to and reviewing a Random Setlist a day for as long as I possible can. Hopefully my review can be helpful to you. If not, oh well...)
*Please note: I was not present for this show. My review is based on an AUD recording of the show....
Notable Jam Chart Performances
Individual jam chart entries from this venue:
After very few performances from Summer '92 - July '93, this "Gin" blows open the doors to serious improvisation, including tempo shifts, a "Sleeping Monkey"-like jam, then some great free-form jamming. -> to "Makisupa."
Straightforward version until just before the customary closing chords would end the song and "Hydrogen" might begin, in that where "Simple" eventually would start-up, the band launches into what old tapes called a "Heavy Metal Jam," which features Joe Rooney screaming on vocals (and then that jam segues into "Sparks").
Sick jam with dissonance, rhythmic gyrations and soaring tension, then > to a reprise of "Makisupa" in the "Rocco" section.
