(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) Even months before the tour started I was worried about Cortemaggiore. Getting around Europe is so easy, the rail system goes to every major city and the train stations are always...

Phish small-venue shows are often worth seeking out, as the band tends to take a different path with both their setlists (packed with more rarities as there are no expectations to their song choices) and their jamming style (more detailed and considered). One such fine example of that form is...

I dig this show. A fun setlist with a few very memorable build-ups, and one absolutely perfect gem of a jam. The Carini opener bodes well, and while there are a few hesitant moments in set one (listen to this ATR and you'll understand why they shelved it; also, Rift suffers from some out-of-sync...

Finally, Phish switches up the setlist from the fairly mundane tunes that had permeated the previous 10 days' shows and play some rarer and older-school tunes. The question is, does the playing measure up? I would emphatically say yes. No jam segment matches 2/17 set II, but there are a lot...

The Mike's Song from this show is to be totally honest, an incredible jam. Extremely moody, very dark, sinister, with some strange chord choices by Page to make it even more interesting and Trey doing what Trey does best... building and exploding. The last 5 minutes or so of Mike's Song are more...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1997-02-23 Mike's Song (14:57) Set 2 Noteworthy
The 1st jam of the first '97 "Mike's" is actually less funk-infused than many Fall '96 versions, and is straightforward but fairly intense. The serene and soothing 2nd jam portends the ambient sounds that would emerge in '98 and '99, and has a melodic feel akin to "Blue Bayou."
1997-02-23 Fluffhead (15:33) Set 1
A great version which bristles with energy. Despite some minor wobbles in The Chase and Who Do? We Do!, Page offers some great funky keyboard action in Clod, while Mike is noticeably strong. Rounding the final curve, Fish and Trey lead a rocking and powerful Arrival, underscoring a top notch performance.
"Suzy" gets some funk!
1997-02-23 Maze (12:40) Set 2
Solid Page with some dissonant chords. In Trey's section, there are a couple of false peaks which add to the tension.
