(Tweezer review posted to RMP in 1994) 5/6/93 The Palace, Albany, NY (Rvwd 11/94) Without question, the best Tweezer in my collection in the 1990-3 span. The second set opens with a very good Suzy with a great jam. Tweezer comes next. A very standard uneventful opening. Sure, the...

Ok this was just a fun show. Musically it was fantastic as well but in general it was just a kickass time. The Palace Theatre is a classic venue and seeing any show there was a great time. Great scene outside and with all the colleges and the proximity to Vermont led to a great show. The first...

The above review proves that mindset is all that really matters at a show. I wanted to go enjoy it and I didn't notice any rust at all! I remember the Linus and Lucy Jam and the signals and Mike doing I Walk the Line. The Palace was a great place I was in the back row and the front row... They...

This is the third and last show at the Palace Theatre in Albany, 68th of the tour, and another pretty good one overall, with more guest stars as well. It seemed to be a board recording for the most part, which is always a pleasure to hear, however there were digital glitches, from a DAT most...

After a few encounters with Phish, I really wanted to share the experience with some close friends. This was first time with closest of friends. It blew our faces off the face of the earth. The little Theatre beautifully carried a young raw energentic explosion of light and sound. We became...

so I've finally listened to what would have been my first show. it wasn't easy. For the last 21 yrs there's been a hole in my heart because of a traffic jam. In '93 I was a student at Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI. There I was turned on to Phish by fellow classmates from Albany,...

After a day off around home base, the boys make their return, less than six months later, to the Palace Theatre in Albany for the first of two nights of fun. This is the 67th show of the tour and it’s a pretty good one. We are back to a board quality recording on this one as well and I couldn’t...

Well the thing about rust is, it's rusty. Sometimes the rustiest rust just can't help rusting when things get rusty.

The rust is imaginary. This show is good and strange. A sprinkling of crisp classics and goofball novelties surround some marvelous highlights: - Stash: This version gets peppy and light without losing its ominous edge. - Bowie > I Walk the Line > Bowie: Amusing and strangely authentic Country...

So the first set is pretty standard. Pretty well played, a decent Stash, ho hum. The second set, though...let's just say that it is a testament to the number of amazing Phish shows out there that this one made it so long as an unrated show. Let's start with a great Runaway Jim with a fantastic...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1993-05-06 • Tweezer (19:44) Set 2 Noteworthy
Very melodic jamming. "Sweet Emotion" and "Crimes of the Mind" jams as well.
1993-05-05 • Stash (11:57) Set 1 Noteworthy
Breaks into a punchy, rhythmic groove, returns home, heads out again for more improvisational play, then builds into a powerful ending.
1993-05-05 • My Friend, My Friend (6:30) Set 2 Noteworthy
Great -> in from "Runaway Jim." Following the final refrain, the outro -> to "Manteca," then -> back to "MFMF."
1993-05-05 • My Friend, My Friend (0:43) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from "Manteca" to complete this solid version.
1993-05-05 • Jam (20:38) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from "YEM." Aquarium Rescue Unit joins in for the jam segment and it RAGES!!
1993-05-05 • You Enjoy Myself (11:14) Set 2 Noteworthy
"YEM" -> to "Jam" with Aquarium Rescue Unit and RAGES!! (No B&D or VJ).
1992-11-20 • Stash (11:25) Set 1 Noteworthy
The first "Stash" with an extended section that breaks away from the song proper. While similar to 10/30/92, this one is more developed and spellbinding, and includes "Linus And Lucy" teasing. Returns to high tension, standard "Stash" to conclude.
-> in from the gnarly second jam in "Mike's Song," when a surprising "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da Jam" emerges. After toying with the Beatles classic, Dick Solberg (violin) joins the band and ignites a spirited and high energy several minutes of play, which neatly -> to "Rocky Top."
1993-05-06 • Possum (11:11) Set 1
Good improvisation and some cool licks from Trey early, then the Machine Gun lets it rip with great trilling near the end.
1993-05-05 • Manteca (0:55) Set 2
-> in from "My Friend, My Friend." "Manteca" is sandwiched in the outro. -> back to "MFMF."
1992-11-20 • Tube (3:24) Set 2
Strong early version with nice organ work by Page. "Buried Alive" tease from Trey.
