Even if you share my inability to get amped up about Sand, this show's divine Wading > Tweezer combo will make you a believer (in, um, *something* or other). Within a certain stylistic envelope this was actually a pretty swell month of Phish, and if you can dig this second set then you have a...

this second set is so good! some say the sand is overrated, but i think it is a masterpiece in dark, ominous, ambient groove. the mango is incredibly well played and adds a "phishy" vibe to the set. as stated in other reviews, the wading>tweezer is absolutely wonderful: soulful, uplifting,...

The first set doesn't really do much for me (although that Roggae IS quite nice, and a Camel Walk is always welcome), and I think the second half Sand is decent but overrated (it's not as good as 12/8, let alone Cypress or Dick's 2012). But the second set does have one top notch sequence, as a...

The big highlight is the Velvet Sea>Tweezer>Runaway Jim. Trey is feeling it, Page is right there with him, Mike and Fish lay down the foundation. It's probably my favorite Velvet Sea, complete with a Siket Disc like jam at the end. Then the Tweezer. Phish builds and builds until a Fish drum fill...

A very strong show. You can tell by how into the fans sound. Wilson starts things off pretty sloppy. Luckily CDT comes in and gets things back on track. LxL has some nice hose and intensity in its jam. BOTT is strong, as is Camel Walk. Possum is top notch and a great way to cap the set. The...

This is on the shorter side as far as Phish shows go, but it packs a wallop. Wilson seemed to get extended every now and then, even if just a little bit, during 1999; you can hear this on the other archival releases from that year. Chalkdust excels in energy, as does Possum, and everything in...

This was a fun show. First set highlights include a great Back on the Train, Heavy Things, Camel Walk and Possum 4 song end of set run. The Possum had serious energy. The second set started with a 20+ minute Sand that ended with beautiful, soulful soloing by Trey after some keyboard...

This release was a cool one - you don't get a lot of '99 stuff at times. The set opens with a nice Wilson>Chalkdust Torture combo. The Wilson is pretty typical and works well in the opening slot. The Chalkdust has a nice patient jam. It's one of the better moments of the first set. Lawn Boy...

One morning after a night of partying in NYC I stood on the subway platform waiting for my train when someone started playing this Sand jam on a boombox. I looked around to find the culprit only to realize there was no boombox, or no sand jam playing, it was just the train approaching the...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1999-12-16 • Sand (22:30) Set 2 Noteworthy
Initially, the jam revolves around a menacing, effects-laden groove. Trey then hops on the keys to inject some melody and later expands on those ideas on guitar before the jam builds to a screaming finale.
1999-12-16 • Tweezer (21:52) Set 2 Noteworthy
Melodic, "Slave"-like jam.
Very patient and gradual build in the jam.
Although this one takes awhile to get going and the "Spreadsheet" recording doesn't do it justice, Trey trills like his life depends on it in the spectacular peak of the jam.
Typically melodious and soaring "Wading" fare abounds in the solo section. As the closing vocals appear to signal the end, a ghostly ambient wash then creeps in and makes itself at home before moving > "Tweezer"".
