Amazing show, amazing Carini but also really the whole night was superb. A full show from top to bottom. Golden Age into Mountains of the Mist was really great, and so was the Hood. Seemed like every song or every pair had a story to it. Loved the reggae Yarmouth in the encore as well as the...

Critiquing haiku: I made a review Of the show I thought I knew I was never there Seriously!? The first review wasn't even sure if wading was a second set low point. Dude, why even review? You are clearly unsure of your opinion so why try to act like you have something to critique....

I will never understand the ratings on this site! I was in attendance and I guess you can never really translate how good a show actually was unless you were there. I boogied nonstop all night, it was not optional. Great setlist flow, the Carini jam seamlessly led from one section to the next....

I don't usually write reviews but after seeing this great show w/o any I just had to try & do it justice. I'll start with the venue itself. Its on top of Oak Mountain, a big mound just south of Birminham, AL. At the time of this show there was no pavilion/shead....just a stage. Behind the band...

A phantastic hometown show. It's awesome to see phish 20min from home. Especially when they're playing this well. A monster first set speaks for itself. Seek out this maze if you like them dark and bizarre like I do. A majestic hood to close the set is always great. First tube rocked as...

One Saturday evening on the 15th of October in 1994, Phish took the stage following the opening act of the Dave Matthews Band. The first set opens with a nostalgic Wilson due to the absence of crowd participation during the song's initial section. Little did the Alabama concert goers realize that...

My Alabama adventure began when I rolled out of my bed in Indiana and grabbed my phone to check the set-list for the show the previous night at Orange Beach. I was immediately super excited to see that the set-list closely resembled the one from the show I had seen a couple weeks earlier in...

I was not there, so I can't speak for the live experience. Musically however, Farmhouse is a total gem from this show. Wow! So many great songs in this show, I highly recommend listening.

Yeah. That was a good show. Honorable mention to the fans who kept projectiles away from the band, And nice to see glow stick action again- lets bring our A game tomorrow. As for the music, well, you saw/heard it. Straight up heater. Was great to see Mike take the initial lead on encore, w/...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2021-07-30 Carini (24:59) Set 2 Noteworthy
The first of several strong outings for "Carini" in Summer '21 and the longest version to date is chock-full of melodious interplay in all stages and features key elements that would reappear as signature sounds of the tour - namely Trey's octave down throaty tone and quickfire delay riffs. At 19:30 Trey pushes for a more familiar peaking section but it pays off handsomely thanks to some expertly delivered trills.
2012-08-24 Rock and Roll (15:55) Set 2 Noteworthy
Very good, multi-part jam. Begins in a snappy, rocking mode with a good "Live And Let Die" tease, grows in power, then mellows with a -> to "Lizards."
While Trey always seems at ease playing "BOTT," the first of several Summer 21 fire versions may be the finest, featuring deft and nimble musicianship that carries over into other Phish classics like "Foam" and "Fluffhead." Page's impossibly fun work on the Wurlitzer makes recommending this jam a no-brainer.
2021-07-30 Golden Age (11:55) Set 2
Doesn't stray very far from the usual boundaries of "Golden Age", but does make feints towards "Mind Left Body" and features some very fancy rhythmic games from Fishman and lovely piano work from Page before very briefly blooming into major key and settling into "Mountains in the Mist".
Swirling, funky and laid back jam in this "Sally."
1999-09-28 Farmhouse (6:52) Set 2
The jam here starts out strongly and improves from there. "Rockstar" Trey is on display in this excellent version, taking advantage of multiple opportunities to add shredding color with his uniquely '99 style and tone.
1999-09-28 Tweezer (15:39) Set 2
Very beautiful ending to a strong jam that resembles 9/18/99 quite a bit but without the intensity.
This has an extended jam, as many in '99 do with whistling in the long jam segment. Some nice melodic playing from Mike, including a passage that sounds quite a bit like "Stir It Up" after the six minute mark.
Unusually upbeat "Sweet Home Alabama" VJ. (No B&D.)
1999-09-28 Tube (7:03) Set 1
This slower paced jam consists largely of effects from Page and Trey, while Mike takes the melody.
1994-10-15 Catapult (0:38) Set 2
-> in from "YEM." "Catapult" is sandwiched in the "YEM" jam. -> back to "YEM."
Hilarious intro, then P-Funk "Flashlight" sickness jam.
1994-10-15 Runaway Jim (10:17) Set 2
Dissonant version departs from "Jim" around 7:00 into weird chanting, howling, and screaming by Trey and Fish.
In addition to a crazy vocal jam, the "YEM" jam -> to "Catapult" mid stream.
-> in from "Catapult," which is sandwiched in this "YEM." Crazy vocal jam!
