If you want to understand Phish's place in the improvisatory-rock continuum then you have to hear jams like this otherworldly 50-minute Tweezer, which makes the 5/7/94 Bomb Factory Tweezerfest seem like a drunken joke-a-thon. This is pure unadulterated dig-in-your-heels psychedelic rock from the...

My first review: After going to GRACELAND to pay our respects to the King, we strolled across the bridge to the mud island in the middle of the MISSISSIPPI where the stage stood and the city of MEMPHIS was the backdrop we knew it was going to be a "TCB" kind of night. We were not disappointed....

Simple has a brief Jump Monk tease during the bee bop section worth noting

Mud Island is certainly a one-peak show on the whole, but that's not to say the rest of the setlist is devoid of any worth. I really love the Don't You Want to Go? opener and wish they'd bring this tune back into the mix...it would probably fit into the 3.0/4.0 Phish catalog quite nicely. The...
