This is the textbook definition of an underrated great show. Essentially the entire European summer tour has been shunted into the background of the almighty Amsterdam shows (and not totally without cause); still, there are some damn fine highlights outside those shows, mainly brought on through...

FOOTSTOMPING!! EVERYBODY, FOOTSTOMPING!! This show has so much to offer, it makes a review difficult, as I only can enumerate facts and stats. However, the whole is so much more than the sum of its parts, and although this is a exercise in futility, my review follows: The Tunes: A...

How had I not heard about this show before today? I found it myself by brute force -- I've listened to every show on this tour up to this point, so it was just a matter of time. Onto my penultimate review of Europe '97: Dogs Stole Things has only been played twice as a show opener: this show,...

This show - a tried-and-true, through-and-through favorite of mine - gets my official endorsement for a LivePhish release! The smoking Gin dissolves into a funk-affair, equipped with Trey shouting to the rhythm of his funk guitar chords. It offers a preview of the US Summer Tour Opening Gin...

An unbelievably fun show. I have come to realize, after listening to this tour in it's entirety that the guys had a very different approach to a lot of these shows. First and foremost was injecting new songs into the air and feeling them out live, shuffling them around, and learning about...

This is an interesting show. It gets 5 stars from me, but not for the usual reasons. Normally a 5-star show is one with several big exploratory jams for instance, or a uniquely themed set. What we have here instead is many shorter jams that are nonetheless packed with amazing and fun moments....

This show has one of the most fun Ya Mars ever, and the Ghost->Take Me To The River is a gem. The whole second set smokes. Great all around show - the band is in a loose and goofy mood, and the crowd loves it. Limb X Limb is also sweet. Solid audience recording. Grab it!

I've been plowing through this tour show by show, and I reckon this first set has the best chunk of music to this point in the tour. The first few songs are fine and by the book, good clean start to the show. Things turn at Gin, which morphs into a sort of hallucination after an entertaining...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1997-07-10 • Llama (12:05) Set 1 Noteworthy
-> in from "Bathtub Gin." Following the final refrain, the band breaks into a excellent heavily funk-infused jam that grows darkish towards the end. -> to "Velvet Sea."
1997-07-10 • Also Sprach Zarathustra (14:02) Set 2 Noteworthy
Outstanding banter gives way to all time flame throwing funk upbeat ass kicking version. Zero messing around. "Super Bad" jam and "Start Spangled Banner" finish.
1997-07-10 • Magilla (7:06) Set 2 Noteworthy
Just an incredibly cool -> from "Julius." Page sets the tone, with Trey laying way back, and Fish and Mike offbeat and on point. A building sort of jam dissolves into a great bass solo. And this into a super percussive bit of music with an extended, fun conclusion. A fan favorite. And for good reason.
1997-07-10 • Bathtub Gin (21:33) Set 1
Another '97 that revisits the cast-aside, old "Gin" jam with a little added funk sound, then breaks into full-on disco funk mode. Briefly returns to "Gin" proper, grows spacey and > to a seriously jammed-out "Llama."
1997-07-10 • Jam (8:39) Set 1
A funky and blues-infused jam is played on its own in Set I. At 4:24, the jam develops a theme similar to "The Lizards."
1997-07-10 • Julius (12:02) Set 2
Jam starts out conventionally, but then the band brings the volume way, way down. After playing quietly for several minutes, the intensity builds. Unusual ending with -> to "Magilla."
1997-07-10 • Ya Mar (7:56) Set 2
Short but sweet - Fish/Page duet (drums and Hammond B-3), then Trey/Mike duet, then Fish/Page duet (high hat and clavinet), then Fish/Trey duet (bell and low guitar), then Fish/Page duet (ka cymbal and Rhodes), then foot stomping (all). "Magilla" and "St. Thomas" teases, vampire children references.
-> in from "Ghost." The Phish take on this Rev. Al Green song, popularized by Talking Heads, begins in familiar manner, then slows to classic '97 funk. Then the jam rebuilds energy, becoming rocking, and includes reprise vocals from Fish and Trey.
