The Tweezer is the centerpiece of this infamous show, and was included on 'A Live One' as the big Disc Two F*CK YOU jam. Like most of Phish's long pre-1996 jams, the Bangor Tweezer contains a far amount of dicking around - to my ears they still had trouble going deep with their improvisations...

This was my first concert ever, and I was 16 years old. My best friend (RIP) and I went, and didn't know what we were in for. We are from a small town in Northern/Central Maine and made the one hour trip south in my old LTD station wagon. We brought one jay which we smoked in the car before we...

This is the first show at the Bangor Auditorium, 69th of the tour, and pretty good overall. It’s almost the end of the tour and they are still breaking more new ground as far as venues go and still playing at such a high level. The recording was an audience and not bad at all to listen to. No...

It was a cold rainy scene in the lot. Tickets were very hard to find and the mood was very subdued...not much joy in the lot. At the gate, security was horribly slow, checking everyone meticulously even while the band had begun. Some people opened a door and a whole gate-crashing event ensued....

Truely my first PHISH show, after listening to Lawn Boy and enjoying the groove as well as a faster pace from the Grateful Dead I jumped into the car to drive to Bangor with 4 other friends to witness my first live PHISH show at the Bangor Auditorium... Stories abound from this show and my...

Well, well... it looks like this was a first show for a lot of us! I'll recap my memories of the show, which are less of a review of the music (sorry, I just had no frame of reference at the time), and more a recap of the experience. I have never listened to a recording of the show (save for...

Fishman never ceases to amaze me. Try to figure out how he keeps perfect time on the ride and squeaks in the little Cabasa sounds (chit chit) in between on If I Could. He always does this on this song, but, on this version it's over the top. A butt with arms and legs my ass!!!! An ass with 8...

later in the year the boys will murder this area on 12/30/93. this is home. solid early 93 versions of the songs played abound. the melt, and sky are not classics but good listens. The Antelope gt type II for a few bars. Tight first set. You can tell that everyone is more energized , fans...

This show kicks off my favorite month of Phish and does not disappoint. The Foam, Maze, Stash, Tweezer, and Possum from this show are all excellent versions of their respective songs. That slew of highlights and the generally strong playing throughout make this show remarkable even for the...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1994-11-02 • Foam (10:30) Set 1 Noteworthy
From a show loaded with improvisation ("Tweezer," "Possum"), this version includes moments of uncharacteristic dissonance, and unusual chord progressions and melodic content, particularly in the build-up, which is scorching.
1994-11-02 • Maze (11:58) Set 1 Noteworthy
For a show filled with improvisational versions (see "Tweezer," "Possum," "Foam"), it should come as no surprise that this "Maze" is also both inspired and exploratory. It's also just insanely loaded up with tension, Tension, TENSION!
1994-11-02 • Tweezer (31:00) Set 2 Noteworthy
Version from "A Live One." A "type II" version that is "all over the map" and "off the charts" (despite being on this one).
1994-11-02 • Possum (12:20) Set 2 Noteworthy
Must-Hear stormy exploratory jam with a descending melodic theme in parts, several sections that challenge the limits of standard "Possum," and "I'm A Man" (Spencer Davis Group) teases in the intro.
1994-11-02 • Stash (11:39) Set 1
An unexpected and largely upbeat groove emerges from the typically chaotic jam for this time period.
Unbelievable staccato picking by Trey throughout the jam is matched by deft playing Page and Fish. A serious ripper.
"Mission: Impossible" teases and a "Yield Not to Temptation" jam. Vocal jam based on the "Bonanza" theme.
