Let's be honest: this wasn't a very good show. The second set seemed to be cobbled together from leftovers, which -- as another reviewer noted -- made for a long and somewhat tedious program. It was heavy on ballads at inopportune times. It wasn't cohesive. Neither set was able to gain much...

I got the feeling Page’s mom was probably in the audience tonight as the show seemed to celebrate Page in his many roles, from singing sensitive lead to raging merciless keytar. Squirming Coil brought me to tears thinking about how his mom took him to piano lessons and now here he is shredding...

Look I don't honestly care about too much of the super insightful stuff or the critical analysis, but I will say this. I had been calling for Chalk Dust Torture Reprise for YEARS. It's been one of my favorite songs to talk about and hope they play some day. I had resigned myself to the fact...

First night in Charleston was a success. Inspired improvisation and a great setlist on paper mixing old classics and some newer favorites. The Carolina opener was something I was really hoping for and I was pleased to see it. First set was compositionally heavy and ambitious in my opinion...

While the no repeat run is impressive for about 99.9% of bands touring today, it was an unflattering look for phish tonight. Forcing themselves to play songs just for the sake of not repeating created a disjointed 28 song show. Dropping petrichor late in the 2nd set was the epitome of...

I'd just like to make a point in reference to the review by [i]Itch_to_the_nag[/i]: sure the no repeats thing is an endeavor, but based on the fact this show is insanely dense with songs, I think it's silly to blame that feat for the lack of jams and poor song choice (timing). Considering all of...

***Make Phish Evil Again*** Fun show! The jamming wasn't totally cohesive, but the band was in great spirits and the heavy helping of composition pieces were lovely. The EVIL sections in Guyute were RIPPING, and Fluffhead and Reba were both rock solid by 3.0 standards, to my ears....

Trey did it again. I wasn't even in the house tonight and i teared up during that DrummerBoy Jam. How they seamlessly incorporate the joy fo christmas and the darkness of the unknown into that handful of music. Then the Dirt hit me and back into a little DrummerBoy. I lost it. Maybe i am...

I caught most of Saturday night despite trying to study for my last final of grad school, so I knew Sunday had big shoes to fill. Best part of the show (for me) was getting an Alumni Blues suite, literally the day I finish a 3-year journey of a Finance MBA. God I love this band! That...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

2019-12-06 • Limb By Limb (13:15) Set 2 Noteworthy
Around 4:45, the playing peels away from typical "LxL," becoming more rocking at first, then mellowing into a jazzy groove with moments of brightness. The energy and intensity builds, with strong Mike and Fish, before Fish starts singing "This Old Man" and the playing transitions > "The Lizards".
2019-12-06 • Destiny Unbound (9:50) Set 1 Noteworthy
> from "I Been Around." Trey plays a note at the 4:48 mark that indicates this version will be different than previous iterations. Mike takes the lead on the full band jam, coupled with soaring play from Trey. While the return to the song isn't the cleanest, it can be overlooked due to the song finally getting taken for the proverbial ride.
1996-10-27 • Scent of a Mule (2:41) Set 1 Noteworthy
-> in from "Catapult" to complete this crazy "Mule."
1996-10-27 • Scent of a Mule (7:34) Set 1 Noteworthy
Page > Trey vocal/guitar >Page on piano and Trey vocal/guitar together > Percussion -> Mike sings "Catapult" > Page plays "Catapult" on Theremin -> klezmer > Mike chanting > finale.
1996-10-27 • Catapult (2:07) Set 1 Noteworthy
-> in from "SOAMule." "Catapult" is played in the middle of a crazed Mule Duel. -> back to "Mule."
1995-11-18 • You Enjoy Myself (30:20) Set 2 Noteworthy
Must-hear! Among the very best. "Brick House" jam!
2025-07-13 • Golden Age (15:55) Set 2
A spirited, high-energy take that is particularly dominated by Trey and Page's nimble play early on. The syncopated jazz-funk-isms that are familiar to "Golden Age" are particularly tight here and inspired as this feel eventually rides to an anthemic major-key rock out. This then builds to a lovely peak before the "Golden Age" beat barges in to wrap it up.
The Wolfman surfs in on a van fueled by Trey's slick blues licks laid over a road bed of rhythmic funk that grooves and bumps along a linear trajectory without detours headed straight for peak town and delivering a tight and satisfying package.
2025-07-13 • Thread (10:46) Set 1
"Thread" finally delivers on its initial improvisational promise with a knotty ,urgent exploration. Using its odd meter as a launch point, the jam holds tight to the bar line, with Trey, Mike and Page's effects-laced play creating a dense landscape that grows tenser and slightly dissonant as it moves along. The howling refrain of "You're Alone!" emerges from the morass of sound to close it out.
2025-07-13 • Tweezer (29:48) Set 2
Leaves the station after a bit of funk, coalescing around a spacey synth section over which Trey solos melodically. The jam then seems poised to return home at 15:00, but relaunches with more rugged riffing before eventually closing strongly with a celebratory peak and the reemergence of the "Tweezer" riff which unravels -> "Ghost".
2025-07-12 • Mercury (19:15) Set 2
Sparkling play from Page helps lead the band out of "Mercury" proper into a cool, laid back jam. The jam progressively gets more upbeat and energetic, before dropping into a funk breakdown and eventually > into "Soul Planet".
Immediately goes minor at the jam's outset then spends some time in the customary "Weekapaug" style before returning to minor with synthy funk led by Page.
2025-07-12 • Harry Hood (14:32) Set 2
The intro here finally gets a little extra attention but as usual the real action comes later and right away it's clear that both band and crowd are primed to pop as the jam cascades and sparkles effervescently and bubbles over with abundance and abandon. It feels very good indeed.
After the standard outro the band drops into a laid-back '97-style funk groove fueled by the classic ingredients of wah-guitar, clav, and siren loop before flirting with major for a more contemporary sound and building moderately in the final minutes.
Nearly six years later, at the same scene of the last jammed-out "Destiny", the tune once again goes for an extended ride. An "I'm A Man" tease galvanizes a brief, extra passage of full band hard rockin' grooves before returning to the song's regular conclusion.
