This show was very special to all who were lucky enough to be there. But, that's what everyone says about most every show they've ever played! But, that's how I feel about it just the same. It was the last time seeing them felt like it was a word-of-mouth band, or a cult band, as far for my...

So we were leaving the show in Atlanta the night before and Jeff told me "it's your turn to drive tonight" My response was "I don't have a license dude" Jeff"neither do I dude!" So that was that I was driving. unfortunately I had taken L during set break and I was still pretty high when we left....

Halloween came early in 1994 for all the phans in Boone. I was so stoked about this show then, and it is still the pride of my show list. How many people live in tiny-ass towns (outside of VT) and can say the boys have been to play in your crappy school gym? The acoustic encore still makes me...

Love everything about this show. This is Boone's Halloween show and the only time Phish has ever played in my heady home town. Simple opener, one of there earlier versions of the song; Fishman breathes heavily into the mic to start the show, gettin freaky to start off... the old Simples...

I am reviewing this by listening to the AKG c1000 Audience source. Simple opener, not sure how rare that is, but gets you ready right off the bat. A strong It's Ice segues into a tentative NICU and then we really get moving with a fantastic Antelope, complete with Machine Gun Trey....

This show starts off with Simple, which is still in its infancy and was attached to Mike’s Song more often than not at this point. This is the second time it opened a show, after doing do so for the first time just a couple of shows earlier. It does an admirable job although the band doesn’t...

This Runaway Jim is such a cheeky add-on. Suzy Greenberg finishes comfortably north of the 1-hour mark, but instead of wrapping up the set, as most could have been forgiven for expecting, they dive into Jim. Bravo. The Antelope is awesome. Reba doesn't hit those July 94 heights but is plenty...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1994-10-26 • It's Ice (9:51) Set 1
Good tension build up and at times dissonant. Page leads but all contribute.
Good exploratory section from 5:00 - 6:20, back to "Antelope," more foraging and then dramatic tension ratcheting.
1994-10-26 • Reba (15:13) Set 2
Another big "Reba" which features more by way of experimental and unusual play. After a remarkable "blissful" section, the band builds to a gigantic peak(s) and a towering release.
1994-10-26 • David Bowie (11:59) Set 2
"When the cows come out to play" says Fish in the intro to this diabolical, nasty "Type 17" jam.
