The infamous Fire Alarm Show. This was a pretty wild one. The venue is very nice and ornate. They were used to having plays and symphonies there, hence the 70 year old security women and...
The story of my first Phish show actually begins the Saturday before, while all of you fools were having fun at the 6/18/94 Chicago show. My roommate and some friends had a “great place” to drink at an apartment complex in the grass under some trees where no one ever went. Being only 20 years...
The Split Open and Melt in this show is my all time favorite. It starts out in typical 94 Melt fashion but soon Mike starts up a different chord progression which gives the jam a feel like its going back and forth between major and minor almost. This continues for a while until it calms down...
Notable Jam Chart Performances
Individual jam chart entries from this venue:
The jam starts into a tense, exploratory groove before launching into a stunning, melodic Mike/Trey duet. At 12:00, the tension and power return, but the jam doesn't return to "SOAM" proper until 14:00.
Mike mows everyone down on this bass-centric version. 1994 is a great year for "Esther," and here is one reason why. Page's and Trey's solos smoke, but it's Mike's powerful playing that distinguishes this version, not a song one normally associates with Mike.
The jam includes a nice little tease/jam on Rick Derringer's "Rock And Roll, Hoochie Koo" (which sounds similar to Led Zeppelin's "Moby Dick").
