Second and last night at the Vic in Chicago. Fifteenth show of Fall tour. A little bit better of a show from last night. Good recording too. Nice Jim to open the show. Mike is a little off at times, but there is a good jam at the end. Right into a Foam, which also has some rough spots...

(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) December in Chicago: its freakin' cold. Winter break had just started at school and I was going to see Phish for the second and third time. I had been listening to Phish for well over a...

On to Chicago for the only two nights ever played at the Vic. Fourteenth show of Fall tour. Good sounding recording. Just enough crowd noise and you can still hear the stage chatter between songs. Landlady is a standard good opening. A few missed spots from Trey, but nothing major. Right...

Cool Jim to start the show. Awesome 1st set. Highlights are Foam, My Friend, Coil, and Antelope. 2nd set was also good, but not as good as the 1st. Stash had a nice, dark jam. Highlights of the 2nd set are Stash, Bathtub, YEM, TMWSIY, and the extra long Lenghtwise. The encore was special. Super...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1992-12-06 • Llama (5:11) Set 1 Noteworthy
> in from "The Squirming Coil." Great Page section, the funky calm before the ensuing blitzkrieg. Trey rips, but the whole band just hammers this one home.
1992-12-06 • Stash (11:50) Set 2
Although mostly "Type I," this one has a great quiet early section to the jam, cool strumming by Trey, and some rhythmic shifting near the end.
1992-12-06 • Possum (4:04) Set e
"Possum" -> "Vibration Of Life" -> "Possum." Just the 2nd time "VOL" had been performed. Predictably intense jam.
-> in from "Possum." "VOL" is performed for only the 2nd time, occurring during the jam in "Possum." -> back to "Possum."
1992-12-06 • Possum (6:21) Set e
-> in from "Vibration Of Life," which occurs during the jam in "Possum." From here, the jam is a predictably intense '92-style one.
1992-12-05 • Reba (10:03) Set 2
Busy and bouncy, Mike and Trey lead the band through "Reba" and into an "I Walk The Line" sandwich. In "Reba," the band modulates intensity, with Trey slashing and shaping his tone, and Mike laying down a great, infectious groove. Fish offers much by way of syncopation, and Page lends colorful fills, before the band dials the sound down to a complete stop.
Mike leads the band through a fun and wholly serviceable rendition of the Johnny Cash classic.
1992-12-05 • Reba (1:24) Set 2
Typical "Reba" whistling serves to complete the "I Walk The Line" sandwich.
A really great breakdown jam occurs between 3:45 - 6:50, with Page on the B-3 and Fish nicely accenting the rhythm. Builds intensity, returns to the norm, and -> to "HYHU."
