Obviously this show is rather different from the norm. It is fun to listen to, but hard to compare with other shows.
In any event, I really just came to say that, after Fishman went missing for Sets 1 and 2 (the band speculated that perhaps he was disoriented in the mountains nearby), it is...
Of course, all of these Colorado shows are quite enjoyable, with lots of great banter. Fishman is introduced as Vermont's second greatest trombone player, and I Didn't Know is introduced as "I Didn't Know With, With" which I think is in reference to a secondary Fishman solo that I can only...
You could do worse than give this show a listen if you want to get a taste of what Baby Phish is all about (especially with the newly circulating SBDs from @Jeff_Goldberg), as this is a pretty typical look at what the band brought to the stage in their early years. Yeah, the highlight already...
Notable Jam Chart Performances
Individual jam chart entries from this venue:
Band jams out in customary fashion, then breaks into a second, more upbeat jam coming out of the first groove. An excellent recording of this is available from LivePhish on the Colorado '88 release.
Colorado '88 version. Excellent segue into "Cities."
"Dave's Energy Guide" ("DEG") is played towards the end of the song before a brief return to "Cities." "DEG" would be played within "Cities" again on 8/22/88, 9/8/88, 9/13/88, and 3/1/89 in a similar manner.
