(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) The State Theater in New Brunswick is perhaps the nicest place I have ever seen the boys. Not nearly as funky as the Fox in Atlanta, it is the type of place you would expect see the...

I originally wrote this review three years ago, on the 20th anniversary of my first show. I wrote it for friends, but have decided to share it here because the show means so much to me. Here it is: It was twenty years ago today. Nope- not a Sgt. Pepper reference. Twenty years ago today was...

This is a very solid Spring '93 show. Compared to the two prior shows, the playing is much improved. The setlist is a knockout. The Tweezer in the second set is a must hear. For me it's one of the best '93 versions. In fact, up to this point in '93, I think it comes in second place only to...

YES! I'm so psyched I found this review. I just saw Phish for the first time in more than 10 years, so I thought I'd look up some of the shows I saw many moons ago. This was my favorite. My girlfriend at the time worked at the State Theater box office and got me a ticket third row center....

This is the only show at the State Theatre in New Brunswick, 66th of the tour and better than the last two shows I’ve heard. Very average performance for most of the songs, but more behaved and reserved tonight. The recording was an audience, which left a little to be desired, but I’m always...

Another very solid Spring '93 show full of consistent, interdisciplinary strength. The first set packs quite a punch, especially the run from CDT through Possum. Esther is a tune of which I often have a hard time grasping the jam-chart-worthiness, but I can definitely agree that Page shines...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1993-05-03 Esther (9:06) Set 1
Very pretty and delicate soloing. Impressive Page and a strong conclusion. Proof positive that "Esther" is not necessarily best reflected in the studio.
1993-05-03 Tweezer (10:18) Set 2
"Earth Move" tease. Sandwiches "Manteca"!
1993-05-03 Manteca (2:04) Set 2
-> in from "Tweezer." "Manteca" is sandwiched in the "Tweezer" jam.
1993-05-03 Tweezer (4:40) Set 2
-> in from "Manteca" to complete this "Tweezer."
