If they played a YEM like this today everyone would piss themselves and then fall over.

At the time this was my favorite of the four 96 Red Rocks shows. It's kind of embarrassing but after the "your most embarrasing moments" thread in the forum, i feel I need to tell it. It's a funny(and somewhat gross) story about me during this particular Mike's Groove. Well, mainly Mike's>I Am...

Let me start by saying that I think the is the quintessential Phish show of all time. While there have certainly been "bigger" Phish shows (Cypress, NYE 95, etc.), and while there have certainly been "jammier" Phish shows (11/22/97, 07/17/98, etc.), I do not think there has ever been a better...

This is the summer show for me that really launched '94 into becoming what I consider THE year of Phish. It is a show that has long been touted as one of the band's greatest along with Chicago's epic just a week later. 1994 was really when Phish began their ascension to the top of the heap when...

If you're looking for a show to get someone into Phish with, you couldn't do much better than this gem. It features letter perfect renditions of much of the classic repertoire.

(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) For a while it was uncertain whether this show would happen. The tickets mentioned the chance of a rainout and the rain was coming down hard. The cancellation rumor was helped quite a bit when the backdrop was removed. However,...

I like the previous night, but this is far and away my favorite of the 2 '94 red rocks show. the set list is stacked and the playing is rock solid. wilson>chalk dust gets the energy up right off the bat. then they go deep early with a good first set yem. rift is pretty straight forward, as...

This is my first review, so it's fitting that I write about the first full Phish show that I heard. This show has been, and probably always will be, my favorite show. There is such a high level of energy in each song, and combined with the tight, unified playing, the result is a complete show...

The first set of this show was the first live Phish I ever heard - a friend printed a super-snazzy j-card and threw the show onto a cheapie tape, and I thought I'd traveled to another dimension. As it happens it's a classic show, just passionate creative music from start to stop. August '93 isn't...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2009-08-02 • Boogie On Reggae Woman (16:30) Set 2 Noteworthy
Dynamic and improvisational version that includes a "Twist"-esque jam and "Oye Como Va" tease from Page. The sentiment is very positive and upbeat (again). Must-hear for any 3.0 nay sayers.
1995-06-10 • Mike's Song (20:02) Set 2 Noteworthy
The 1st jam segment (to 7:20) is loaded with tension and moderate dissonance. The 2nd jam begins with sounds akin to "Simple," but gradually descends into a murky caldron of eerie and spacey improvisation. At 14:00, the jam begins to emerge from the underworld with low key play, a rhythmic pulse, and growing, dissonant energy, before finally returning to "Mike's" proper to wrap up.
1994-06-11 • You Enjoy Myself (20:14) Set 1 Noteworthy
Paradigmatic, normal-lengthed "YEM." Sublimely perfect, melodious, gorgeous jam. Trey is on a mission from the start of the jam segment!
1994-06-10 • Tweezer (15) Set 2 Noteworthy
A short, but magnificent version, though controversial, as some remain deaf to its majesty.
1993-08-20 • Slave to the Traffic Light (9:33) Set 2 Noteworthy
Almost an eerie quiet early in the jam with mostly Page, Mike and Fish gently musing. Gradually Trey brings in the melody, and there is a near linear sequence of intensity building as the chord progression repeats itself.
1993-08-20 • Run Like an Antelope (15:14) Set 1 Noteworthy
Very improvisational version with several good twists and turns including a jam on "CYHMK."
Fantastic -> into an excellent "Undermind" with Bill Kreutzman.
The addition of Bill Kreutzmann leads to one of the funkiest versions of the 3.0 era. The second jam will punch you in the face.
2009-08-01 • Tube (5:39) Set 1
Aggressive clav playing from Page while Trey plays an assortment of rhythmic riffs and Mike holds the tight groove together.
Breaks into some great stop/start jamming. Fish keeps it crisp and clean.
Serious tension, dissonance, and rhythmic change-ups combine to distinguish this very good version from most 3.0 ones.
"LA Woman" teases and an excellent moving jam with rhythmic shifts and Page on multiple keyboard instruments.
2009-07-31 • Tweezer (12:25) Set 2
Diverse, tight, melodic jams.
This one is more laid back than the one played at Alpine almost a month before. They hit a nice little '09 funk jam. Around the 10:30 minute mark they turn the corner and build to a nice climax. Also, this was the first time the "Drowned -> Crosseyed" combo was performed since 9/14/2000.
The jam has an interesting section from 4:05 - 5:10 where Trey deviates from the standard melody line.
