this is easily my favorite show of the west coast leg of this tour, and it is a contender for best of the year. I was not at this show, but i saw oyster head here years later. this place is nice and grungy on the inside. it is pretty small with some bleachers in the back and a nice little...

This second set was some of the very first live Phish I ever heard. My best friend Kyle and I discovered Phish together around 6th grade. Kyle had brought them up because he knew his dad had been to a few shows, so we decided to check them out. The first song we heard was "Farmhouse", which...

The first set is a typical first set, other than a wicked Maze and a SOAM that explores some dark recesses in a very '94 way with some nasty guitar work and clanging piano playing and a jam that *feels* arrhythmic and off-kilter but actually isn't (and, fine, I Didn't Know is a guilty pleasure)....

Back in the tape-trading days I had a sweet copy of this show. in one trade the guy I was trading with asked if the as-reported Norwegian Wood Jam was a real jam or just a brief tease because he loved the melody . . . and since you couldn't just listen to shows like you can now, choosing shows...

Hot second set...really this entire fall/winter tour represents the multi-faceted tour-beast that Phish was at the time. The fact that the band was relentlessly 'plugged-in' to music during this tour (i.e. practicing constantly, bluegrass sessions both on and off the stage, etc.) is evident in...

Around 5th minute of this monumental Tweezer Fish gets into the raddest groove ever, and Page plays some real funky keys, going on for about 4 minutes......1 of the best jams I've ever heard them do. Fishman was the fuking mack back in the day....he lead everything.

'94 was a year for many great tweezers. This is certainly not one to pass up. Check out that FLAMING HOT second set in its entirety while you're at it

I wasn't at this show. Hell, in 1994 I hadn't been west of the mississippi. Wow. I just realized I haven't been east of the mississippi in many years. The west is the best, and I digress. Anyhoo....I have always loved this second set. This tweezer is my favorite pre-funk version. Viva...

Just landed on this show's (stellar!) 2nd Set Tweezer today more or less at random and was surprised to find that neither the setlist or reviews mention Buffalo Bill. From about the 5-minute mark in Tweezer you can clearly hear Mike (primarily) and then Page and Trey ambling in that direction....
