This was a great, great show and when listening to the tapes I realize how great that first set really was. Trey's solo in the outro of DWD is one of my all-time favorites. Absolutely shredding. I recently heard that South Park Meadows was torn down. It was a great venue; huge open grass field...

Listen to this show for the great Ya Mar in the first set. The traditional improvisation grows into an ambient and then funky jam. Wilson in the second set is also a bit different. Its jam is longer and more rocking than usual.

During DWD around the 5:15-5:23 mark there was a definite "Tracy" by the Cuff Link's tease. Alot of ppl may not be familiar with this tune since it came out in 1969. I wasn't sure where to submit this.

This show was the lowest rated show from summer '98 on phish.net with a score of 3.58. Now that I have given it 4 stars, it is tied for lowest with 07.26, each of which have a score of 3.62. All that said, this show still rocks. It really speaks to the quality of this tour if one of the...

This show was my 3rd of the U.S summer tour. What a great venue South Park Meadows is, all general admission on a grass field with a concrete dance floor up near the stage. The highlight of this show and one of the highlights of my Phish days was definately the Timber Ho!>David Bowie. The...

So, after seeing the ratings for this show and listening to it in its entirety, I felt compelled to add my 2 cents to this review page. If this show, with its outstanding LxL and YEM->Izabella in the first set, and its incredible Timber (Jerry)>Bowie in the second set, were to be played today in...

I have such great memories of this show - especially the second set. I had been waiting for Lizards forever, and the energy of the crowd during Misty Mountain Hop was off the hook!

This first set works really well for me song selection wise. I'd prefer something else besides Loving Cup as a closer but that's about it. First Tube and Punch is a high energy opening pair and as an unabashed Farmhouse devotee I like its placement in the cool down slot. Moma is its typically...

The Ya Mar was a sunset jam. When the sun dropped the jam turned dark. A great version. The first set is very well played...everything is a sharp version. The second set is unfocused and weak. The next night Trey was singing "too much of everything ain't good for nobody". You can draw your...

Because all the other reviews have somehow skipped over this, I am compelled to tell you to listen to YEM -> Izabella. It's unbelievable! Gullotti is great here, and just as YEM's thick '97 funk picks up a bit, before we'd normally get B-and-D, Trey moves the band right into the Hendrix classic....

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1999-09-24 • Wolfman's Brother (18:55) Set 2 Noteworthy
Great, multi-section version, including some enchanting, melodic, and "Gin"-like hose jamming from 11:50 - 14:15 with fantastic playing by Page. From here, the jam grows delicate, spacey, and -> to "The Lizards."
1998-07-25 • Ya Mar (16:35) Set 1 Noteworthy
Awesome top notch version. Following the customary Page and Trey solos, the band breaks into a low key, slighty funky, slighty ambient jam with a feel-good summer vibe. Then the jam takes on a darker but more energized tone.
1997-07-26 • Timber (Jerry the Mule) (16:47) Set 2 Noteworthy
Bob Gullotti on a second drum set. Set II opener takes the typical "Timber" jam, extends it and cools it down a bit to a more mellow groove while maintaining a good rhythmic pulse. Never loses the dark "Timber" vibe.
1998-07-25 • Wilson (7:15) Set 2
No mere "metal Wilson", what we get here instead is several extra gallons of liquid fire unloaded, Hendrix-style, in an extended run up to the "You got me back thinking..." section and beyond before > to "Frankenstein". Explosive.
In addition to hosting Bob Gullotti on a second drum set, the boys bust out the Funk towards the end of this version - an extremely rare style for a "Limb" jam.
"Willie the Pimp" tease just before the segue into "Izabella." (No B&D, no VJ.)
1997-07-26 • Free (12:38) Set 2
After an amazing start to the II, it becomes clear that Trey has little interest in the "Hood" he dialed up following a great "Bowie." Check out the show for more details, but in lieu of "thanking" Mr. Minor, Trey aborts the song and ->'s into "Free". The band unleashes, resulting in one of the finest performances since 95. The jam is marked by great improvisation "inside" the version, that sort of shimmering Summer 97 "funk" aided by guest percussionist Bob Gullotti, a musician perfect for this "Free" - or any other.
