I have vivid memories of this show, as it's the only Phish show I ever "taped". The main reason I attempted to do this was because I had first row balcony seats, so I brought in a backpack with my portable tape recorder with built-in mics and some extra tapes. Of course, I had to indulged in...

We all know that lick Trey plays in the Hershey Disease from 12.1.95. That glorious uplifting flurry of sixteenth notes that sends all of us to that special place. If you've heard it, you know what I'm talking about; if you haven't, then you've got a glorious type-I jam to check out. But...

This run at the Beacon was highly anticipated, and would wind up being the final shows the band would play at an intimate venue in NYC. They sold out extremely quickly and I wound up getting shut out of the third night to my dismay. The band took advantage of the Beacon's size and acoustics by...

The lovely Beacon Theater. God I love this place. We came down from my hometown which was about 3 hours away. This was my first time at the Beacon. We knew these shows would be special because because of the venue and also it was pretty obvious by then that Phish was destined to play some pretty...

Llama openers are always a good sign. You don't need to look too hard to see if the boys were pumped. Its the upper west side of Manhattan! A First set Hood three songs in. the crowd gave the well deserved love throughout. The crowd gets to clapping and Fish gets to tapping then off we go!!...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1994-04-15 • Wilson (4:47) Set 1
First version to have the audience chanting, AUD version also has enthusiastic claps. The band delivers a bombastic performance, surely energized by this new avenue of audience participation.
> from a jam-charted "Wilson." Perhaps still riding the energy of the first-ever audience participation in "Wilson," the band delivers another fiery "CDT." The jam starts with a bit of stop/start action. Page gives the organ a workout before Trey comes barreling in to take over with nifty play at a breakneck tempo.
One of those great probing versions that leaves "Antelope," comes back briefly, leaves again, home again, off again, etc. etc.
1994-04-13 • Stash (11:07) Set 1
Mike is noticeably strong in this dark and evil monster. Finishes with a "CYHMK" tease.
1994-04-13 • Reba (16:22) Set 2
Another subdued jam with Page again complimenting Trey, whose patience is offset by Mike and Fish, their fills particularly spirited and on point. Trey works through patterned playing, which, cumulatively, has an almost hypnotic effect, before a concerted push works the jam up and into a mini-breakdown before rising into a trill-filled, soaring, release. (A strange bit of space before whistling brings this version to a close.)
1994-04-13 • David Bowie (13:11) Set 2
A very intense, high power version, loaded with tension and unusual rhythmic shifts, but not highly dissonant. Very solid.
