My first show and consequently one of my favorites out of my arsenal because of that. I'm glad I went to this show. Being from New Orleans I regularly get to hear a lot of great music from funk to jazz, rap, and bluegrass, and for being able to grow up around that I wouldn't trade for the world....

The beginning of this show was excellent. Runaway Jim followed by Punch You in the Eye is always going to be a strong statement. I felt, though, that the boys tapered off a little bit with Ocelot, Foam, Train Song and Undermind. Maybe it seem like they tapered off just because Jim and Punch were...

This was my first show of 3.0. Somehow I was singing Hello My Baby on the way up to Knoxville - let's just say I had a feeling. Jim to open follow by Punch was a great 1-2 punch. The second Undermind into Mike's Groove was very nice. You'd think that would end the set but nope - Coil - now...

This was my first Phish show ever. While the playing was still warming up, the song selection was FANTASTIC for a first show. Runaway Jim into Punch, what a way to start your live Phish experience! I unknowingly knocked several great songs off the list on show number one. THIS IS WHERE IT ALL...

My first 3.0 show. The song sequences were kinda cool. Set 1 opened with back to back show starters. Sets 1 & 2 ended with 3 straight set closers. It was a nice (lil') show. Checkout PYITE. Foam. Waves. Reba. Hello My Baby & a very tight Julius....and I do remember feeling a little rumble...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2009-06-10 Foam (8:11) Set 1
Powerful Page solo with a ragtime feel. Trey brings the volume way down at first before a big peak. Sounds like '93 - '94.
2009-06-10 Waves (11:21) Set 2
This is a very well-played version with a full length "Waves" jam. 3 minute outro jam leads to transition to "ASIHTOS."
2009-06-10 Reba (12:41) Set 2
Excellent full-band play featuring quiet, expansive and contemplative work from Trey, whose warm tone is complimented in great part by Page. Mike and Fish modify the beat, and the musicians dial the jam down to an all but erasure of sound. Mike and Trey team to rebuild momentum, before Trey summons a few chords and, shaping his sound, directs the band into a passage of measured and progressive space.
