(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) To begin with, I am almost fifty, have raised three sons to maturity, have three granddaughters, have been a musician all of my life, write music of my own, and have been a rock and roll...

I am John H. Davis above, and the first review at the top is my mother. Awesome memories of this show. The jams on the tape are fun, though maybe not amazing given all that we heard from Phish in 1997. But this show is definitely still worth hearing.

And we're back in France for a second go-round this tour. This is kind of a weird show, featuring Pierre, the friendly Häagen-Dazs employee, and a sit-in by Béla Fleck and The Flecktones. A really rough PYITE starts us off -- this tune was a real rouser by the time Fall came around, but I...

(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) Well, Mom and I took off to study abroad in France for July 1997 and were lucky enough to have Phish come to visit while we were there. We really had no idea what to expect, having only...

A decent summer outing front to back, but the Flecktones drop by for a wild, joyous final movement that's the only must-hear segment of the show as I recall. Yes, the 'tones bring a heaping helping of their trademark cheeseball virtuosity to Phish's sound, but everyone's in on the fun so that's...

An interesting show to say the least. There are some great reviews here already but I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. 1st set is nothing special, but 2nd set is tons of fun and full of great playing. Taking an average between them, I give 4 stars overall. I'll also say this feels more like a...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1997-07-09 • You Enjoy Myself (33:07) Set 2 Noteworthy
In one of the longest YEMs since 1995, Phish jam with jazz/fusion quartet Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. The jam consists primarily of individual solos from each guest, eventually culminating into an ensemble -> to a jam on "Trane to Conamarra." Phish may not have found Pierre, but they found their soul. (For another excellent Flecktones collab, check out 8/21/93.)
Good combination of a nice intro, varied and interesting soloing by Trey, then a chill-out Page section before the closing.
1997-07-09 • Taste (10:00) Set 1
Powerful Page solo. Like 7/3/97, very good Trey/Page interplay, similar to a good "LxL". And strong Trey. One of the first versions where the "NICU" riff appears immediately preceding the closing sequence.
A magnificent "YEM" jam with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones continues -> with elements of their tune and funkily works itself -> to "Ghost".
1997-07-09 • Ghost (9:23) Set 2
Two bands join in deftly dealing with each other's newest material when Trey calls an audible in the midst of the Flecktones informed segue jam, counting off the guest-studded ensemble into a highly improvisational take on Ghost. Featuring, in the first place, Victor Wooten's virtuosic bass work accented by Jeff Coffin's horn stabs and gradually developing into a tightly focused dual-band conversation, the jam moves through both start/stop and call-and-response sections before deconstructing into a soupy play of effects that > to an excellent Poor Heart.
1997-07-09 • Poor Heart (8:28) Set 2
Featuring the Flecktones including solos from Bela and Jeff, a bunch of false endings and teases, a big "Freebird" style ending, and Pierre chanting.
