Seek this show out for a feisty Timber in the first set and a great set 2 opening combo of 2001>Simple. This is the nastiest and longest pre-1997 version of 2001 and the Simple is transcendent and one of my all-time favorite jams. If the back half of the second set had lived up to the start of...

There are few things in life that are better than dancing around my kitchen with Phish playing in my ears. I insist there is no better way of getting the dishes done. During the 2001>Simple of this show, I danced my tush off. In listening to the Fall 1996 tour, (after Halloween) I never...

1st set: Loved the CTB's opener...they should bring that out more often .Timber rocked and i really enjoyed Reba ! 2nd set: 2001>Simple was fantastic ...looking back Swept Away >Steep was nice considering Phish doesn't trot those two out very often "in the now" times ! Tweezer was the...

The Simple from this show is an essential jam to listen to and own. It has one of the most beautiful/soaring peaks I've ever heard. If you haven't listened to it, do yourself a favor and get it right now!

Another great instance of being in the right place at the right time. El Buho joined up for some serious heat at the end of a great example of what a 96 phall tour show was like. I did 18 shows that phall tour and this was one of those that was overlooked in many views (as is the next one b/c...

The Timber absolutely smokes !!!! I love the 95/96 Timbers !!! Aggressive and fiery !!!! Ginseng was location appropriate. Memphis is in fact my muddy water Mississippi Delta Home :) The Simple is a must hear. Tremendous Peak. Soaring, high flying Trey. Great foundation by Page, Mike & Fish. Fall...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1996-11-18 Also Sprach Zarathustra (11:40) Set 2 Noteworthy
The first version to go deep. Game changer and features some excellent blues playing from Trey.
1996-11-18 Simple (16:37) Set 2 Noteworthy
A rhythmic, staccato-like jam briefly emerges from the standard before shifting to a Trey-led, soaring and "HOSE"-filled finale. The jam finally settles and -> to "Swept Away."
Straightforward, but some fantastic and crazy playing by Trey.
Page solo > Trey guitar/vocal solo > Page on piano, Trey on guitar with crazy falsetto singing > klezmer > chanting.
