There was a period in the late 90's when both sets of a Phish show were fair game for exploratory 'Type II' jamming. That era was a few years off when this show came around; the deep-improv action here is centered in Set II. Grab this one for spectacular versions of Gin, Ya Mar, and Mike's Song,...

I think everybody agrees that August 1993 is a watershed month in the evolution of the band; they were still as musically intricate and explosive as they'd been earlier in the decade, but their chops were drastically improving, meaning that we got great music as well as amusing teases and quotes...

More of a show note than a review, but check out Antelope for a distinctively "First Tube"-like jam. Obviously there was no First Tube at this time, but the similarity is there - its a two chord bounce, and the interval is the same as in the ending part of First Tube. Trey and Mike holding the...

(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) So this was the second show I made it into, and I say that because it was the fourth show I tried to go to. First, at 12/3/92, the show was sold out and I couldn't get a ticket. On...

(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) This was, and still is, my favorite show. My friend Cathy and I left Chicago in the afternoon. Three hours later we found the Murat and there was a "lot scene" at a Phish show for the...

Two nights before GameHoist, the boys elect to mix up the setlist for the second set with a few chestnuts from the Nectar's days, Halley's > Curtain > McGrupp. Trey starts the riff to Simple in a slightly lower key than usual, which fits with the song's loose arrangement (they would tighten this...

i've got to agree with 'ol wax banks there. compared to what they had been playing thus far in their career, phish really took it to the next level in aug 93. there were some hints here and there, but all in all, they never consistently went into that type II jamming. maybe they were still...

A worthy Live Phish release. Lots of fun, the band is very playful, while the jamming is purposeful (as opposed to random/haphazard, e.g. Summer 1995). If you haven't heard August 1993, start with this show and 8/14/93. Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound. :)

Copied (typos and all) from a review originally posted: Wed, 5 May 1999 14:55:07 CDT Subject: Trey in May! - 1st two shows Wow. These two shows have been awesome. Honestly, I did not expect these Trey solo shows to rock as hard as they did. Granted, it's not Phish, but I was suprised by...

pretty solid '94 type show, solid playing throughout, really nice zest from the band. seek out this Reba if nothing else, this shit is HOT. The Antelope is a scorcher as well, previous reviewer is spot on with the First Tube-esque section, although it doesn't last long, and probably serves as a...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1994-06-24 • Run Like an Antelope (19:56) Set 2 Noteworthy
Very improvisational and multi-faceted version with several distinct "Type II" sections, including an uplifting "DwD" jam near the end. Released as filler for Live Phish Vol. 10. A heavyweight among "Antelopes."
1994-06-24 • Reba (13:45) Set 1 Noteworthy
Great theme out of the composed section, notable for really quiet and wholly unique playing. The band continues to explore and push boundaries, with the jam becoming "primal" and totally out of the ordinary. Very cool.
1993-08-13 • David Bowie (19:18) Set 1 Noteworthy
Long, very musically-oriented intro. Serious improvisation, but unlike many other strong versions, this one is far less dissonant and shrill. Rather, it is very rich musically, including little jams on "The Mango Song" and "Magilla."
1993-08-13 • Bathtub Gin (15:49) Set 2 Noteworthy
Incredibly improvisational, Must-Hear "Gin," one of the best ever. After 83 mostly straightforward versions, the band in August '93 suddenly seizes upon "Gin's" jamming potential. This wild, racehorse version is fun, wacky, musically coherent, has multiple teases/jams, and segues seemlessly into "Ya Mar."
1993-08-13 • Mike's Song (12:24) Set 2 Noteworthy
A shredding 1st jam with good variation is followed by yet another improvisational but somewhat wacky 2nd jam. Here the band settles into some quiet, Mike-led play, before thematically rebuilding, with the band's weird chanting/screaming adding to its crazed nature.
1993-08-13 • Llama (5:57) Set 1 Noteworthy
> in from "Lengthwise." Cool little Mike solo between Page and Trey. Brief exploratory jamming towards end of Trey's solo. Blistering finish.
1993-08-13 • Foam (9:20) Set 1
-> in from "Makisupa." A fantastic segue. Jam begins with Mike soloing quietly, then Page joins him in a largely delicate duo (with Fish subtly keeping the beat). Trey's solo is similarly restrained. At 7:15, the volume comes back up for a exclamation point finale.
1993-08-13 • Stash (11:08) Set 1
Very exploratory, but also remarkably musical. Lots of tension, but without so much chaos and dissonance.
