I wrote out and deleted three different drafts of this review before settling on this one - it's almost like Phish's version of Last Year at Marienbad or Gravity's Rainbow, in that it defies any sort of reasoned critique in a way that I'm not sure any other legendary show does. I mean, if you...

The first set is fine mid-'94 stuff, sure, but every Phish fan needs to hear the second set, which peaks with an extraordinary Mike's, embryonic Simple, gorgeous H2, and manic energy powering every note. The O.J. hijinks are priceless. 'WILL HE MAKE IT?!' Weird that such a dark event prompted...

PHISH witnessed fans in the first several rows dropping like flies from heat exhaustion during the craziness of set II. Mostly girls. One of them to drop was my friend's girlfriend. I mean literally just dropped to the ground and TREY kept jamming. I don't know how PHISH coped with the heat...

More than just a "Fun" show. This show is solid from front to back. The first set is less "fun" and more just solid 1994 Phish. The Jim that opens the show is Breathtakingly amazing. Melt is played flawlessly. There is excellent playing and especially harmonies in "If I could". Even...

Simply put, this is one of the most fun filled Phish shows out there. Don't pass up the first set as it contains a great SOAMelt and cacophonous Bathtub Gin. The real meat is in the second set, and while the O.J. stuff is funny, the funniest stuff to me is in Trey's narration during this extra...

This was probably my favorite show ever. After sneaking in and spending about 90 minutes hiding in a stairwell before sneaking through a set of double doors to get into the venue, this was a show I will never ever forget!!!! From the completely random OJ references (which nobody in the audience...

My 1st show. It was so hot in this little venue, two of my five friends passed out from heat exhaustion. I must have been taking care of one of them during the second set- I did not see the big ball jam. Oh yeah- why are these guys talking about OJ? LOL! Fun stuff.

I'm glad this show has gotten the archival-release treatment. I remember trading for this show early on in my phandom, and enjoying it quite a bit more then than I do now. It may just be my state of mind, or perhaps at 17 years and a week after my first show, I'm approaching "jaded oldbie"...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

Great version. Not overly improvisational, but the jam gets into a great power rocking groove beyond "SOAM."
The jam breaks into a different and repetitive groove early on, then returns to "Gin" in a very rocking manner.
OJ, OJ, and more OJ.
1994-06-17 • Simple (3:45) Set 2
Entertaining version with "OJ" reference, plus they quoted "Simple" quite a bit in the "Hydrogen" (and "Harpua") of this show, too.
Very uplifting playing from Trey in this hot version from the "OJ Show."
