The first track I ever heard from Phish was on a mix tape I stole off a fraternity brother that simply said "Phish" on it. It turned out to be cuts from A Live One.
I used to listen to the tape while walking around delivering papers in nice NJ neighborhoods during a summer job I had. End to...
Surprised there's no review on this one. A typically great Fall 94 show. The band is playful from the get go, Trey giving a warm welcome to the "free show everybody!" before ripping a lassic Chalk Dust opener. He similarly does a quick explanation of the Vibration of Life right in the middle of...
So I ditched my Dad and stayed on tour. We got to the campus of U of F early and started raging. The college kids were stoked to have Phish playing for free on their quad. We met up with these kids who took us to their on campus apartment. The guy said to me 'Hey we just picked some mushrooms...
You like mid-jam Catapults, smoking Mazes, Gypsy Queen-infused Jims, surprise segues (->Halley's), ferocious YEM jams, and all-time great Hoods, right? If you do, you'll find all that and more in this phenomenal show. If you don't, well then I don't know why you're reading this. Maybe give this...
This was my first show, and I walked to the bandshell from my dorm room, South Hall, which was about 30 yards from the field. I laid in the grass that evening and just lost myself. At the time the only songs I recognized were the covers, but that didn't matter. Everything about the experience...
"Man. Finally, a band that plays their instruments. And isn't afraid to just PLAY them until they feel they're done. This sh*t rules.""
Always found this to be one of the more inexplicable things I have ever read.
If I told you one of the ->s on this setlist was bogus. Which would you...
So, I've been listening to 1994 Fall in its entirety and in order, and here we arrive at the second Great show of the tour! Highlights...
SET 1:
Stash -> Catapult -> Stash, Tela > Maze - Two outstanding jams with Tela in between... very nice.
SET 2:
Bouncing Around the Room -> Halley's...
The merits of this show are well documented in other reviews. As I’m making my way through this tour, I believe this is the next show that is next level after 10.18.94. Numerous highlights abound, including the Stash > Catapult > Stash, Maze, Runaway Jim, the transition between BATR and...
This "Hood" from A Live One seems to peak, then breaks at 11:25 into a section combining '94 space, moderate dissonance, and loads of tension. When this oblique resolves back to normal "Hood" at 13:30, it's pure '94 bliss.
