We left the Wetlands at about 4 am on our way up to this show. I had a head full of L and was feeling quite grandiose at this point in my Phish career. We drove through Providence and it was the most beautiful sunrise I had ever seen in my life at that point. The city with the sun rising in the...

Just a little FYI. The comedy troupe included a young Dane Cook. He actually talked about doing this show on Letterman (?) I think. He said that he opened for Phish one time at the Boston Garden and they booed him and everyone else of the stage haha.

Wow! After two months off to work on Rift the boys hit the stage for an almost Halloween show in Boston. This is a very boomy recording from the Garden. Not too bad but, you can't hear any of the intricacies in the music, or the screw-ups for that matter. Nice solid Jim to open up. They...

I was a senior at a NH college & had heard PH!SH before but didn't really get them. I went to see the Spin Doctors I was blown away by PH!SH. I was going on Dead tour as much as possible but I went out og my way if need be to see the boys. My first comment was, this is awesome, there are no Bobby...

My first show was memoriable. My roommate had gotten floor tickets and we basically went for something to do on a Friday to start the Halloween weekend festivities. I was coming off summer Dead tour and was anchored to only local shows due to school. The comedy was weak. Michael Penn was...

My first Phish show happened years after I'd been hearing their studio albums from friends and classmates. I'd settled into a steady diet of Grateful Dead shows, so it made sense to go check this younger, Dead-ish scene out. A friend of a friend scored some tickets really close to the stage...

(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) "Phish always does something crazy New Year's Eve," my sister told me after she found out that I had scored tickets to Boston Garden. "Get ready for a party!" I was more than ready for...

Hello, my name is NYE '94, and I'm a truncated show. It's embarrassing looking at my 3-set peers and withering in comparison. I mean, as a whole I'm shorter than three hours, none of my sets top sixty minutes, and my second and third sets barely top fifty! I'm a New Years Eve show! What...

Sure, it's a shorter NYE. I can only speculate how that would have made me feel as an attendant, but I think the quality of the music and the wondrous spectacle of the gag would have more than made up for any other shortcomings associated with this show. First set contains a great lineup of...

Same comment posted for 7/11/92 show: It was either this show or 7/11/92, but for Cavern->Vacuum Solo->Cavern, while Fish came out to play the solo, the band had stopped playing, but in addition, Mike was (I believe) leaning all the way forward while Trey was leaning all the way back, neither...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1994-12-31 • Maze (16:33) Set 2
Spacey intro with a "Digital Delay Loop" section to lead off. Intense Page. Extended Trey section is really more of a full band jam than as typically presented. Eventually gets back to "Maze" proper for a red hot finish.
"Mike's" -> "Buffalo Bill" -> "Mike's." While the 1st jam is standard, incendiary '94 material, the 2nd jam has solid, varied improvisational play before the ->.
-> in from "Mike's Song." A nice version of "Buffalo Bill" is sandwiched in a solid '94 "Mike's." The -> back to "Mike's" is great stuff.
-> in from "Buffalo Bill," the return to "Mike's" is several steps better than "normal," well worth checking out.
Typically strong '94 fare includes "CYHMK" jamming, a funky breakdown section with Page on clavinet, strong exploratory play by all four, and an "Auld Lang Syne" tease as this "Weekapaug" heads for home.
Fiery, powerful and precise '94-style jam with an unusual and spacey outro jam tacked on.
Trey and Page add a big exclamation point to end the final frame of a fantastic year for the band.
1992-10-30 • Stash (9:53) Set 1
Excellent and unusual version. A great quiet section and good improvisational playing.
