Copying here the "My First Show" piece I did for STTF last Summer: "I hadn’t even known about Phish for long. My mate Stuart had given me a compilation tape “1 Hour Of Phish” that I listened to in my car a few times on my daily commute to work and found it strangely growing on me - despite not...

Third show of the European stretch of Summer '97 and we're in a historic venue -- The Beatles played here multiple times in the '60s, and one of my favorite Jimi shows was played here as well (2/24/69). Would Phish pay homage? Would they play ADiTL? Did they figure out how many holes it takes to...

With the setting being Royal Albert Hall I expected two things, one the band would bring it! And two, they would NOT play anything by The Beatles. As good as they cover the Beatles, I don’t think they would feel confident enough to cover them at this venue. Having said that, on to my review of...

This was a pretty underwhelming show considering the venue. There was one great moment during set break, a prim and proper woman came on stage and made an announcement in her very British accent, "Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that smoking is NOT permitted in the Royal Albert Hall."...

A very average show. Taste is very strong and well played. A top tier Theme in terms of playing. Wolfman has a nice mellow '97 style jam to it. Besides that the rest of the first set is fairly forgettable. LxL is the best version yet with Fishman all over it. Ghost dips a little deeper...

@phishfillet -- that's not quite a Franklin's Tower tease, but it's likely an allusion to it. It's gotta have that V-IV-I-IV-V structure and the I never makes it in there... but the strumming and phrasing are spot on!

Pretty mediocre show. Limb x limb and Dogs Stole Things were played for the third show in a row. I will have to say, though, that limb x limb has seen a ton of progress since it was first played a few nights before. I'm not the biggest fan of Reba but this one was pretty memorable in my book....

> in from the rocking debut of "I Don't Care," the jam, here, offers a stark contrast. Trey works great, melodic soloing into a beautiful passage of quiet restraint, Page's fills matching the "Doc's" warm tone. Trey, via an impressive array of styles and ideas, slowly rebuilds intensity, and the band enters an unusual, somewhat funky jam, before arriving at a sudden conclusion. Cool version.
