This review will consist of one track only for the time being: Stash - All fans of this band really must listen to this and keep a copy handy. The songs opens with a TIGHT composed section, almost angry in it's purpose. No problems here, as finesse takes over. The Maybe So Maybe Not Stash...

THE GOOD: Right in the middle of an exception week of shows, this show does not disappoint. Things start off with a smoking Sample, and a delectable Caravan follows not far after, giving Fish some nice breaks. Although this Jim is strong, it is greatly overshadowed by the Stash, which other...

Yes, there is an incredible Stash in this show, which the other reviewers have mentioned. It's one of my favorite Stashes, but this show offers a few other big highlights, including one hell of a Tweezer. Also, check out this different take on a Runaway Jim jam and Fee's extended outro. Some...

No it's true, the Tinley Park show from the night before plays the bigger history book role, and in some cases with good reason -- but this Stash, you could argue, is one of the finest and most promising examples of melodic improvisation that the band layed out this in this most fruitful of...

This has to be close to the best show of the year, likely the only one that rivals 12/31. It's one of those Midas touch type of shows, everything they play is excellent. Caravan is outstanding, Jim is perfectly played. Fee is outstanding. Stash is arguably one of the best ever played, it has...

I'm only going to comment on the Gamehendge narration and what may or may not be an error by Trey in the story: I believe the recording I've heard is cutoff and we do not hear Trey's entire narration, but he states Rutherford the Brave is the hero of this song (the song being Colonel Forbin)....

August 93' was undoubtedly a turning point on Phish's career from both a musical stand point as well as the growth of their fan base. The bands summer tour was their first exposure to large outside venues some of which they still play to this day (I.E. Darien Lake, Jones beach and The Mann...

Sounds like an (obviously) very early tease of Scents and Subtle Sounds intro within the Tweezer, just before the Simpsons signal. I don't think Fee deserves to be mentioned as a notable, as it doesn't make the song any better, or even different than other versions that have outros, but...

Sandwiched right between the highly regarded 8/13 Murat, 8/14 Tinsley Park, 8/16 St. Louis, and 8/17 Kansas City performances, 8/15/93 in Louisville marks as the halfway point in a crazy 5-night stretch of consecutive shows. As each of the other aforementioned shows have their own LivePhish...

The 52nd show of the tour is their first show at the Macauly Theater. Not quite the barnburner that St. Louis was, just average for this month, though we do have a significant bust-out for an encore. Chalk Dust rocks right out of the gate with furry. Guelah was good, but lost a little flair...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1993-08-15 • Stash (17:56) Set 1 Noteworthy
Almost unquestionably the finest, most improvisational and thrilling stand-alone version of "Stash" ever performed (11/14/95 taking the song combination honor). SBD from FTA - IT - Part 2. Download this, NOW!
1993-08-15 • Tweezer (19:35) Set 2 Noteworthy
Arguably some "Cities"-esque chords from Trey, Antelopian HOSE, "Cocaine"-esque, and "Harry Hood"-intro-like jamming, and a glorious dying-out-of-the-theme ending. This is quite a version.
1993-08-15 • Harry Hood (13:29) Set e Noteworthy
The jam begins in a very delicate manner, then grows in power with sprinkles of improvisation. There's another great quieter section, and then at 10:40, it's all guns blazing for a full throttle finish.
1993-08-15 • Fee (6:33) Set 1
Playful improvisation in the outro with Mike taking the lead melodically. > to "Paul and Silas."
Another good August '93 "Jim" that expands into some great improvisational jamming.
The jam quickly moves beyond the standard into exploratory '93 territory, with Page, Mike and Trey mixing it up in the quiet section, which reduces down to little more than a quiet pulse, before rebuilding in a thrilling, powerful and electrified manner and returning to "Weekapaug."
1993-04-16 • Gumbo (4:12) Set e
Short jam, but a dramatic, extended ending with screaming. Highly entertaining for a short version.
