Jesus! I never did give this show a proper listen, just a 'Yep another great Fall 1997 show' spin back in those glorious Maxell XLII days, but thanks to the Demon What Is Called the Internet, I'm finally digging this special outing.
The first thing to say (first point to belabor?) is that no...
Gave this one a re-listen and was not at this show however would like to post a review of the events in the Bryce Jordan Centre on that December evening in 1997.
SET 1-
MIKE's SONG- A sick 16+ min MIKE'S!!!! to start things off, one of the most electric openers I've heard in sometime, but...
phish crissened the new arena with a fast paced rocking show.we crissened the place with a large puff of smoke. but mother nature played the best show of all with a snow storm... good show good time
Notable Jam Chart Performances
Individual jam chart entries from this venue:
The jam that emerges begins subtly, then grows some legs as Fish and Mike kick the funk into gear before morphing back into a quiet, contemplative jam. Extremely improvisational version. Seamless segue sounds at first like a move to "Bowie" but becomes "Timber" instead.
Segue -> in from a 30 minute "Simple," this version restores the jam to its typical place of darkness, and has an almost '95 psychedelic feel to it, with Fish kicking the percussion into heavier action.
The single jam has a funky bent at first. After working through some typical terrain, the funk comes back, especially after 8:30 when the jam takes on a "BEK"-like vibe, accentuated by some nice stop/start action.
