Tight version of Reba to open this one up. What a great way to start a set. I've heard better versions from the era, but can you really complain about Reba? It's THE quintessential Phish song in my opinion. After a standard Dinner and a Movie, the band starts up Ya Mar. It's a fun version with...

Nobody ever reviews soundchecks, but this one's a keeper - fun, long, and relatively continuous - and recordings do circulate, albeit lightly. This isn't a few times through part of a tune while lots of equipment gets tweaked, and it isn't the band jamming for awhile while the house PA gets...

This was probably "only" a 3- or 4-star show for the era, but it's blistered to my brain. I'd heard *of* Phish previously, but only heard their music that afternoon - a cassette of Lawn Boy. At the show, I was feeling drained so took a chair in the middle of the (mostly empty) floor - and was...

(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) It was the summer between my junior and senior year of high school, and my friend Channing and I were trapped in our boarding school's summer session. We were taking AP Psychology so it...

What a difference a day makes! Much better show, much better sounding recording, although there was a lot of monitor feedback all throughout the first and some of the second set. Nice Glide to open up, even with the feedback. Right into a nice Oh Kee Pa and rocking Suzy. Foam was right on....

Solid It's Ice and a solid Split Open. Everything else was right around average in the first set. Second set on the other hand was very goofy especially Trey. Lots quirky shouting through most songs which was kind of annoying. The Chalkdust Reprise tease before Tweezer was sweet. Tweezer was...

A fun show, with the Mrs. Pizza Shit references sounding like something the boys probably heard as a promo for the show on local radio. My guess is that the announcer probably mangled the name of the band so badly that it sounded something like that. I had this 2nd set on tape for years, and...

Notable if only for the first pairing of Fee>Maze, which I've always felt worked well.

4:00 Trey comes in with the opening riff, plays a nice melody to juxtapose the time signature of the jam. 5:30 Things start to get a little weird with Trey and Page playing some nice lines. 6:38 Buried alive tease from trey 7:00 Trey just hangs on a note with some serious sustain.Plays some...

The show started with Glide: We're glad glad glad that you've arrived. (Or so I heard....) We're glad glad glad glad glad glad glad glad glad glad that you're a glide. I was shrooming my face off. It was my first show, and I DID NOT WANT THAT SONG TO END. And it didn't seem to for the...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1992-07-15 • Split Open and Melt (8:45) Set 1 Noteworthy
Awesome "Type I" version proves "SOAM" doesn't have to leave the song structure to be electrifying and riveting.
1992-03-25 • It's Ice (9:05) Set 1 Noteworthy
Nice swinging groove on this jam. "Call To The Post" tease by Page.
Awesome ripper of a jam with great tension and release, then tension and dissonance reloading.
1992-07-15 • Stash (9:42) Set 2
Excellent straightforward "Stash" with great playing by Trey.
1992-07-15 • Harry Hood (12:12) Set 2
The jam begins in an exhilarating and surprisingly gentle and graceful manner for '92, but consistent with the year, Trey kicks into high gear and rips the ending.
-> in from "YEM." Fish sings the "Setting Sail" lyrics while the others continue the "YEM" vocal jam.
1992-03-25 • Reba (11:31) Set 2
Yet again, Trey reigns supreme, locking in on another great theme. Totally in control, he deftly adds to this motif an array of surprising riffs, a sprinkling of sparkling notes, and the perfect blend of intensity. This strong playing bleeds into, and through, a soaring peak.
Mike funks up the house. -> to "Setting Sail" in the vocal jam.
1991-07-24 • Possum (8:03) Set 2
Different intro, different sort of jam. In other words, another solid '91 "Possum."
With the Giant Country Horns! "Wilson" teasing from Mike.
1991-02-21 • David Bowie (12:52) Set 2
Jam begins with heavy "Manteca"-like jamming, then grows extremely shrill and dissonant.
