I kind of envy the guy who felt like this show was church. It was my first show too, but for me it felt like a cult meeting that I definitely was not a part of. Pretty much scared the shit out of this sheltered smalltown dork. I didn't get it. It would be years before I got it. I lost the...

This was my first Phish show ever...with many more to come. To this point, I had been introduced to Rift in the summer of '94, and subsequently fleshed out the remainder of the discography. A close friend had also given me the tapes for 4/16/92 (still my standard of comparison for...

I can't believe no one has reviewed this show. Like most any other show from this historic month its extremely high energy and fun. not a missed song in the bunch. Set I: Chalkdust: This is an AWESOME (read typical) fall 94 Chalkdust. Loaded with plenty of tension and thrilling playing...

On a wettish, chilly sunday evening in late november 1994, a mere six days before the Orpheum epic, Phish threw down what, essentially, was and is the total antithesis of that (as well as the famed Providence version) "type" (II) of Bowie with a "mere" (comparitively speaking, of course) 16+ min...

My first show. What can I say that hasn't been mentioned? The Antelope is absolutely vintage mid-90s smoke and YEM literally had me frightened. It really was something special. Ran into half my crew coming into the arena in one of the great Phish coincidences that we all know really well....

my first show. 13 years old. already a phan. probably had junta and lawn boy at this point. my buddy up the street was going with his dad and asked if i wanted to go. i remember being stoked that i got to see my first show before my older brother, who introduced me to the band, saw them. i...

I remember this one vividly; a girl I knew from my humanities class and I somehow got a ride in a frat kid's bmw. We left Hyde Park early, and got to Madison by noon, where we immediately fell in with some folks on tour who were on our way to hang out with Fishman... In my mind, the encore was...

This YEM gets my vote for "Scariest YEM ever". Gotta love a My Friend opener and the Demand->Maze was a nice treat. Great Page solo in Maze as well. There is a section during Antelope where it feels like a galloping Antelope is controlling Dane County. Awesome energy!

Seeeee?!?!?! the above review is EXACTLY what I was referring to in my twocentsworth for the following night's show in St Paul; ANY band that can musically scare the shit out of people will lure me in hook, line & sinker (eeewwwww, worst accidental pun, EVER!!!!)...funny; I say ANY band but Phish...

Listening to this show on the eve of Alpine 2015 nearly 20 years after I attended it. This is quite possibly my favorite Phish show that I was ever at or at least I put it right up there with the Fall 97 shows. For the second year in a row, Phish was playing a Fall Tour show in the city where...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1995-10-24 • You Enjoy Myself (27:30) Set 2 Noteworthy
A !@%^^!# MONSTER!!!!!!
1995-10-24 • Run Like an Antelope (16:48) Set 2 Noteworthy
Although largely "Type I," this version is one of the most thrilling and intense ever. The tension and tempo start to crank up after 8:00, and even more so after 10:00. At 11:30 it sounds like "Rocco" is starting with no peak, but then there's a cool, thrumming jam section that sounds like an Antelope running, before building to the expected peak.
1994-11-20 • Stash (11:56) Set 1 Noteworthy
An absolute thriller, moderately exploratory, but intense with great tension building throughout.
1994-11-20 • David Bowie (16:36) Set 2 Noteworthy
Fantastic, exhilarating, "Oh my god it's so f_cking good" jam.
1995-10-24 • Fee (5:48) Set 1
Delays/effects and -> to "Llama."
1995-10-24 • Julius (9:10) Set 2
Blistering, second-set opening powerhouse.
Strong "Type I" version is yet one more example of why 1995 was such a stellar year for the band.
1994-11-20 • If I Could (6:59) Set 1
Great and different version with the "Reverend" Jeff Mosier on banjo.
1994-11-20 • Reba (12:46) Set 2
Another jam informed, early on, by a passage of quiet, contemplative play, and marked staccato playing from Trey and super Page. Fish is busy upon his blocks, and Trey works through a great theme (infused with a warm tone) beneath which Mike offers mellow "underwater" grooves to lead the band through a deliberate, and, at times, what sounds like "grinding" build towards a rousing conclusion dominated by Fish and Trey.
