Holy Shit !!
Listen to this classic again. I'm watching it for the first time since the show and so much is coming back to me.
The Crosseyed and Painless so full of techno/groove layered beauty. Trey whacking away at this little drum kit in front of Page.
Those days may be gone, but what...
A delightful show, to say the least, if not a pantheon show or anything; that being said, the DVD of the show really ought to be a cornerstone of your Phish collection, as this is the kind of show you'd want preserved in video form. The C&P jam is magical, overflowing with energy and excitement...
(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...)
Ah, the only outdoor show of Fall `96! We spent the day swimming in the Gulf of Mexico, which was a fantastic way to prepare for the show. Still reeling from the "Hotlanta" mayhem of...
This is one of the best-known shows of 1996, partly because high-quality FMSBD copies circulated not long after it went down. The Crosseyed > Antelope sequence is the important part, but in the wake of the band's ambient/trance/funk/space experiments of of 1997-99 it probably isn't an essential...
This is my original review (typos and all) from rec.music.phish titled "West Palm Beach Crosseyed and Painless" posted November 6, 1996 at 3 am:
Hello everyone,
I have recently returned from a rather hellacious roadtrip in
which I enjoyed every second (you know the kind). Almost...
The rest of the second set was not "forgettable" as another reviewer had written.
The entire second set of this show was worth all efforts it took to be present.
A stand out Harry Hood followed by some great jams to end the show capped off what was an incredible evening under the sun and moon...
this was such an amazingly fun experience...i'd seen each of the previous south florida shows and was blown away each time, but this one upped the ante. getting in was a minor hassle and I missed the opener, but with 10th row center seats, I wasn't complaining. in addition, I was able to sneak...
all you need to know about this show is crosseyed and painless>antelope. hot off the heels of halloween, with karl p still on board, they nail this one. little did fans know, they would not be seeing this one frequently from here on out. anyway, the duel drummers really light this one up. for...
DVD review time.
Coral Sky was a cool release, particularly because '96 isn't exactly held up in the highest esteem (although really it's more a victim of being sandwiched between 95 & 97).
They open with Ya Mar. This version is awesome and breezy and Karl Perazzo adds a nice rhythmic...
The sound on this Live Phish release is out of this world. The aud tapes I had of this show back in the day were awesome but this LP board is next level.
SET 1: Ya Mar: Perfect with Karl.
Julius: Face melter, ripped very hard.
Fee: Standard ->
Taste: Very nice but they have all...
