I love stepping away from the catalog long enough to forget how powerful these guys were in their prime. The by-the-numbers first set it anything but, with hot versions of Llama, Foam and Stash. Check out Trey's Van Halenesque crescendo in Stash! Antelope, while getting off to a slow...

This was my first show. It will always be special for that, duh! I had never heard a note of Phish before walking into the Michigan Theater that snowy night. I enjoyed it more than any other concert I'd attended at that point and they made me a fan for life. The Big Ball Jam impressed me, I...

This was their first time at the Michigan Theater, nineteenth show of fall tour. Good recording of this show, although Coil is missing for some reason. Nice Jim to open up with even though it sounds like they almost forgot to sing the last verse before the jam. Ice has really improved...

Great show. Amazing stage banter during I didn't know. Fans on stage talking, great Melt, great Divided sky, ridiculous Tweezer, and a smokin Possum. An AMAZING melodic low rider morphs out of Mike's Song and into Ya Mar. Worth the listen.

This is the last show at the Michigan Theatre and 54th of the tour. Much better playing than last night and a full explanation of the encore that ended last night make this show very interesting. Trey continued some set list maintenance as well showing some rusty songs. Unfortunately time has...

Swinging back up north to the Michigan Theatre the boys make their second visit for the 53rd show of the tour and they just didn't quite get "there" tonight for me. A great, crispy board recording on this one makes it a pleasure to hear, but the playing flaws are readily apparent. Each song...

First show of the tour starts off strong! This O-o-h Child is the best jam we've seen from TAB up to this point IMO with its rocking minor key Trey solo, bad-ass funk jam, and smooth return back to the song proper to finish. Sand is a Big Red shred-fest. Russ is strong in this jam too. Gotta...

Hah! That opinions-from-the-audience bit is great. How cool would it be if they did that again sometime?! Also cool would be them coming out before the show begins and answering questions from the audience like Carol Burnett did on her show ... if that reference means the slightest thing to...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1993-04-18 • Possum (10:55) Set 2
The beginning of the jam is different and improvisational. Grows mildly dissonant as it progresses even while Trey shreds.
A somewhat dissonant, straightforward 1st jam morphs into nice melodic play before breaking into some cool and unusual "Low Rider" jamming in the 2nd. With no formal return to "Mike's," the jam concludes with a great -> into "Ya Mar."
1993-04-17 • Stash (11:53) Set 1
Trey hits on a cool little riff which he incorporates into much of this very good, unusually less dissonant jam.
A nice "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" jam/tease occurs following the final refrain.
Jam on "I Wish."
1992-12-11 • Possum (11:56) Set 2
"Flat Fee"-like playing early, then the jam takes off, getting more and more rocking with multiple peaks. Intense ending.
