It's interesting to go back and look at the LivePhish.com releases (not the actual Live Phish releases, as those are usually obvious selections with the major exception of the non-Fukuoka 2000 shows) and think about what it is that led Phish to release them. You've got obvious stone-cold classics...

The whole show is great, but the Ghost and Piper are all-world versions.

From www.OnlinePhishTour.com 7/6/1998 Prague, Czech Republic In July of 1998 Phish traveled to Europe, they stopped at a small place called The Lucerna Theater for two nights. Kuroda had to use an old school lighting setup of strictly can lights for it--making people forget that they...

Really sloppy show. They were definately drunk and I surmise drunk on Absynthe. I remember Trey gesticulating near the mic and knocking his glasses off. Not much to say musically. I have seen Trey mess up Fee probably more than I've seen him do it right, bit this was definately the worst....

Just finished listening to this and had a thought about something in the Ghost. Does anyone else hear a little Jumpin' Jack Flash? Maybe not worthy of a "tease notation" but definite hints of it when the jam picks up towards the end. I'm far from savvy/educated when it comes to the technical...

Everything about this show is SICK. Except Golgi.

A simply phenomenal Piper! Not to be missed.

The Ghost is a fine version, no doubt (though it's a bit hard to hear Trey "Treying-out" over the noisey audience at times), but this Piper has to be heard to be believed. I try not to get into best-ever pissing matches too much, but I think it could be said with relative safety (even from my...

I don't get why so many people hate on this show, sure it doesn't nearly match the next nights performance, but those are the types of shows that are on inhuman levels which is what makes this band awesome. If they make a few mistakes here and there then joke around about it it only reminds me...

just an observation, im almost positive Fishman is playing the Fikus drumbeat starting around the 17min mark of Piper, he does that for a couple minutes or so. i also think i hear Trey playing little Fikus-like riffs here and there, but i could be wrong on that...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1998-07-06 • Ghost (15:08) Set 1 Noteworthy
A bold funk intro that is further highlighted by a raging and intense jam with a peak so high it is unscalable by its most ardent fans...the musical equivalent of absinthe injection by machine gun in a crossfire hurricane. [-> in from "Bag." An extended intro leads to a blistering hot straightforward jam that eventually burns out and -> to "Cities."]
1998-07-06 • Piper (19:49) Set 2 Noteworthy
Relentless, punishing, and hard rocking jamming place this "Piper" squarely in the same company as the 11/19/97 "Wolfman's Brother" and 12/29/97 "DwD." Like those monsters, this one eventually settles down. -> to "Makisupa."
1998-07-06 • Loving Cup (8:14) Set 2 Noteworthy
Trey blazes a trail on his 'doc, RAGING LIKE MAD in this excellent version!
1998-07-06 • Possum (10:59) Set e Noteworthy
Awesome version with a great swingy theme to the jam that Trey keeps returning to. Mike is outstanding, and Page plays the Fender-Rhodes for a stretch, adding to the jazzy feel. Includes a "Stash" tease from Trey.
1998-07-05 • Fee (12:49) Set 1 Noteworthy
The verses are flubbed badly but Trey and the band make up for it with a unique jam. It's percussive, funky, and a little goofy, but definitely very Phishy. -> to "Water In The Sky."
1998-07-06 • AC/DC Bag (4:11) Set 1
> in from "Buried Alive." Conventional "Bag,", but a fantastic -> to "Ghost." A must-hear show as well.
1998-07-06 • Cities (7:18) Set 1
Great -> into "Cities" from a roaring "Ghost." Starts VERY uptempo, but there's a cool, smooth tempo downshift mid-first verse. Cool little guitar solo at the end taboot.
1998-07-06 • Roggae (8:06) Set 1
A more rhythmic and energized jam section than later versions. Great Fish and Trey.
1998-07-06 • Maze (11:50) Set 1
In addition to this being a blistering hot version, at 9:30 the entire band stops on dime in the middle of Trey's solo, Trey thanks the audience, and at 10:00, the band resumes right where it left off.
1998-07-05 • Bathtub Gin (14:34) Set 2
Solid jam that starts to break away from "Gin" around 7:30 and gets rocking and funky with building intensity. Great Page.
Despite a couple of rough spots spread throughout, the jam section features a contemplative, but at moments playful Page, with an intense culmination. An iconic '98-style, ambient Trey-led "Jam" follows "McGrupp" proper.
1998-07-05 • Jam (3:11) Set 2
A Trey-led ambient and serene "Jam" is added to the end of "McGrupp" proper, and has some cool background instrumental effects from the others.
