So, that was my first show. I was in graduate school at Ohio State the time, and a couple of office mates and I had just discovered Phish. One of those office mates was Randall, who was 6'10". He played college basketball as an undergrad, and while in graduate school he'd typically wear...
Since there are no reviews of this amazing show, I thought I would add my $.02. Just an amazing, blistering tight almost non-stop second set. The Mike's Groove is maybe one of the most creative ever, fun Simple, Catapult(!?!), Icculus with Simple references and tons of great screaming from Trey,...
I finally gave this show a listen thanks to @Sixtwentytwo94 's fantastic and hilarious story about that night. I have to say - I've now heard plenty of shows that have peaked with a majestic jam, but this has to be the first show I've ever heard that peaked with Trey and the rest of the band...
This is one of the Top Twenty Essential fuck me silly PHiSH shows - but this isn't a review. I just have to write this somewhere: One of my best musical soul brothers, a kickass drummer we call Skin Richards, a bandmate of mine past present & future, told me (when I asked him years ago if he ever...
Do I really need to review this show? Probably not. Many others have expressed what were surely a few of the high points. But I feel compelled. Its personal to be sure. I need to get it off my chest.
When I first heard this show I was just starting to get interested in the band and they were...
Another no-brainer 5-star Phish show from 1994. This show has a few things in common with 5/7/94: well played first sets with Llama openers (Trey is messing with loops and effects here, foreshadowing 7/8/94), second set segue-fests, and Sample in a Jar closers with Trey's guitar sounding out of...
Without question one of the strongest months in the history of Phish. Without question one of the major reasons you can make that statement.
This show is just simply Phish in a nutshell. I would find it hard to imagine any Phish fan listening to this show and not crack a smile at least one in...
Crazy medley, where "Simple" is played to the melody of the Allman Brothers' "Midnight Rider" at one point, and segues back and forth to "Catapult" and "Icculus" in a must-hear "Mike's Groove."
-> in from "Simple." A high energy, highly amusing version of "Icculus," ripe with NBA references, appears midway through an incredible "Simple" medley.
