Alllllright, woooooo!!!!!! So glad to be in the NC for this lovely evening of Phish. Never been to Raleigh before (had to get the shrimp and grits today.. tip of the cap to Tupelo Honey... Indeed) ANYWAY... :) ... This show has been the highlight of the week (and I loved Camden more than most...

You know it’s a heater when the head bobs manifest the next morning as major neck cramps. I try not to pop-psychology the band too much, but I couldn’t shake the sense they were trying to bring it for those who made the haul from Jones Beach and the happy souls on the only southern stop this...

(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) This show is, by far, the shortest I have ever seen and is one of the shortest I have ever heard on tape. If anyone complains about it, though, I will hunt them down and force them to...

First time seeing Phish in person since 10/9/99. It was everything I could have hoped for…even if I am still rehydrating well into the next day. I thought the first set was tight and well-played. Moma opener followed by Possum in the two-slot had me dancing like I was making up for the last...

The first four songs are energetic rockers graced by great interplay, and some very nice type 1. There's nothing wrong in type 1, after all it's the basis of most jazz since bebop. The second Wombat of this tour is as weird as the first, but it's cut short quite early. The band nailed the...

I attended this show and just re-listened to it for the first time... 14 years later! Amid the other reviews, the take home is that this show isn't necessarily a stand out Summer 2000 performance. BUT there is worthwhile material here, which the current rating doesn't reflect. Part of the problem...
1997-07-22 by waxbanks 11
Fine first set cut off early by a biblical rainstorm, which invests Taste with hair-raising energy - an absolute must-hear version. The whole second set flows pleasantly from the post-Disease swamp-funk; the segue into Mike's Song is worth hearing for the crowd's ecstatic response, never mind...

I'll start by saying I think this show is a gem that will get appreciated more over time. The fact that a Rise jam was the highlight of a really strong 1st set says a lot. They took some chances that did pay off in the second set, but had a couple that didn't from my ear. Still - that set was...

Man, I feel BAD reviewing this show, because I feel I really didn't deserve this show. What is there to say though? I can't really choose to not review it, because it wouldn't be honest either. Let's stick to the cold facts first: 1. The band's energy is really upbeat, high, and happy....
2003-07-27 by FunkyCFunkyDo 9
Well this first set certainly does suck. [Spoiler] Well, maybe a couple sentences. I've heard the rumors that "Mike was SO off" and "Mike sounded SO bad..." yadda yadda. Well you know what, they all sucked. They all sound bad. Trey is obviously frustrated, addressing the crowd after Ya...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2003-07-27 • Prince Caspian (10:48) Set 2 Noteworthy
> in from "Tube." Another hard rocker with a cool transition that gets way from "Caspian" and -> to "2001."
2000-06-25 • Split Open and Melt (17:49) Set 1 Noteworthy
With some really beautiful and delicate major mode jamming midway through, this "SOAM" ventures into a blissful landscape unusual for this song, before eventually returning home to familiar ground.
1997-07-22 • Taste (9:53) Set 1 Noteworthy
Played during a thunder and lightning storm of Biblical proportion that prematurely ended Set I, you can hear the thunder crackling in the background. Clearly the storm electrified the band, and if you are a Page fan, this is a must-hear, incredibly intense version.
1995-06-16 • Esther (8:53) Set 1 Noteworthy
The watery sounds produced by Trey's use of the Leslie percoloate throughout this great version. Add fantastic Page and Fish, with his uncharacteristic rim shots, and an unusual and highly engaging concluding Trey solo, and it adds up to a stellar performance.
1995-06-16 • Runaway Jim (30:36) Set 2 Noteworthy
Intense, psychedelic and incredibly improvisational version. Has similarities in the final 10 minutes to the Providence "Bowie." Oddly, seems unheralded among the canon of all-time, must-hear jams. -> to "Free."
A long way from 17's debut (which many, at the time, felt like an extension of "Mercury," the -> was that smooth) this Trey-fav "rises" above ordinary anthemic set-closing love and light to become yet another surprising musical odyssey, more proof that post-Covid Phish is infused with fresh ideas and all songs are immune from mediocrity.
The verses are played in a new arrangement, as @Sniff notes, perhaps more in the style of Dead Kennedy's than Husker Du, and gives this version a classic proto hardcore breakdown sound.
2018-08-10 • NICU (9:03) Set 2
Neat outro jam that prods and probes in a few different directions. > to "Thread".
2015-08-14 • Llama (5:14) Set 1
Debut of the slow, funky Llama. See 6/29/16, 10/20/18, and 11/30/19 for other versions.
Version features an atypical jam segment which modulates to major mode, giving the jam more of a feel good sense, and less the typically rocking style.
2015-08-14 • Golden Age (13:15) Set 2
Begins with some bouncy funk work and then builds into a rocking groove. Brief ambient interlude before a > to "Reba".
Following some deft playing by Trey, the straightforward jam peaks, then drops into some nice "No Quarter" teasing followed by a brief, funky breakdown jam before heading home.
In the encore slot. While basically "Type I", Trey provides a rich and celebratory melodic line to the basic "Boogie On" outro jam, which elevates this version considerably.
2003-07-27 • Ghost (18:25) Set 2
A seven course prix fixe culinary exploration of the deliciously dank flora, fauna, and fungi of the nocturnal arboreal outback. [Dark and very improvisational. A few moments point to the customary upbeat "Ghost" release, only to be passed over in favor of more ominous exploration.]
2003-07-27 • Tube (7:28) Set 2
Trey-led jam. Extended outro which segues into "Prince Caspian."
