First off, the soundcheck is fantastic. Trey is one hell of a lyrical freestylist. Zepp Osaka...looks just like Zepp Tokyo! Fish asks, "Do we know Spock's Brain?" Trey says no (not Mike). Nice Twist tease in the soundcheck. This soundcheck reminds me of the Hartford 2009 soundcheck. "And...

[Written for Phish Show of the Week Club, 8/17/2012] The year 2000 was a big one for Phish – they released one of their most highly regarded studio albums (Farmhouse) in May of the year and then embarked on their first mini-tour through Japan; with 7 shows in about 8 days played throughout...

[Written for Phish Show of the Week Club, 8/17/2012, Reposted from that thread] Going into this one cold: haven't looked at the setlist or read any reviews, which I think is probably the best way to approach these things. If I've ever heard this show, it was long enough ago that I've forgotten...

'Zepp Osaka...looks just like Zepp Tokyo...' Maybe, but some strange sounds happened on this night. Definitely seek out the Jim > Theme > Boy, but if you're not familiar with the weird machine-logic sounds of Phish '99-2K, prepare yourself for the possibility of sheer boredom. The Jim jam is...

i don't necessarily agree with the above review, but then again different ears like different things. i think this Jim jam is spectacular. very engaging, and goes a lot of different places. mike and page shine while trey makes cool plunky sounds on the mini-keyboard

Fun to have an official release of another Japan '00 show finally. It also dawned on me while listening that this was the last time the band's played outside of North America (at least to my knowledge). Really pretty LxL opener that leans into that lingering approach the band took for a lot of...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2000-06-16 Limb By Limb (15:38) Set 1 Noteworthy
Great show opening version settles into a relaxed, groove-like section while retaining the "LxL" vibe. The jam then patiently builds to a shredding, celebratory conclusion.
2000-06-16 Theme From the Bottom (14:43) Set 2 Noteworthy
-> in from "Runaway Jim." The jam has a very relaxed feel to it and some typical '00 sounds from Trey. At about 7:30, a droning, Fish and Gordon section begins. Trey adds some high pitched effects, and at 11:25, Page plays the chords signaling the impending conclusion. A gradual cycle down leads to a -> to "Dog Faced Boy."
2000-06-16 Runaway Jim (26:04) Set 2
Excellent, multi-part "Jim." A serene yet percussive groove emerges first, followed by a transition with delay bombs dropping. Then Trey hits the mini-keyboard for a plunky, unusual jam before space and a -> to a very good "Theme."
2000-06-16 Harry Hood (17:42) Set e
Extended intro with awesome jazzy Mike and possibly a "Dog Log" tease. You might expect a really gentle, spacey jam given the year, but thanks to Fish, it has a really great pulse while also being delicate at first, swelling to nice peak.
