This is my long, rambling review as it was originally posted on rec.music.phish 12/8/96 at 3 am typos and all. It was titled: "San Diego Review - 12/4/96 (Raving and Long)"
Hello everybody,
I have just returned from a trip which took me to the wonderful
cities of Pheonix and San...
this is a seriously nasty phish show. it is, unfortunately, frequently overshadowed by the vegas show the next night. sure, the vegas show is rediculous, but don't let this one get lost in the shuffle. some say, this one is better than vegas...
my friend my friend is one of my favorite...
Notable Jam Chart Performances
Individual jam chart entries from this venue:
The 1st jam begins with some nice staccato-funk action, before slipping back to more conventional playing. The 2nd jam starts in rhythm and Page mode, with Trey on his favorite mini kit. He moves back to guitar quickly, and at 10:00, the jam starts to get a funky and rocking sense. The vibe and energy uptick, there's even a little "MLB"-like action, all resulting in a nice peaking jam.
> in from "Mike's Song." Nice but typical (for '96 "Caspian") playing by Trey, but some fantastic Page and Page/Trey playing towards the end of the jam and > to "Sparkle."
