The view of the Carrier Dome I caught as I rolled back into Syracuse for the first time in four months triggered a wave of emotion that would wash through the show that night and sweep me along into an uncertain future. I was on the uphill climb out of the pit of despair I had created for myself...

(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) Everyone in the car was asleep when I stopped at the gas station for directions to the Onogada War Memorial Auditorium. We had been driving for awhile. “You mean the Onondaga War...

Same template as 11/21 - some Set I highlights amid a long series of six-minute songs, great run of tunes to start Set II, fantastic playing from the full band, still some weird tendencies from Trey, no free improv beyond the ambient transition(s), overall a 7.3 or so by my reckoning. The Wow!...

There was a recent post about fall 2009 which sparked my looking back to this show and re-listening to it several times. After seeing that band for several years in the mid-1990, I stopped going to shows due to several factors (e.g. marriage, kids). Nonetheless they were always on the edge of...

This is an above average Fall '94 Tour show and marks the final show before the boys took a week off to regroup after 23 show run. First Set Highlights: Solid It's Ice....Page rips up the middle section....7 show gap here... Early mid set Bowie (15+ min) is above average and the...

This being my first show my views are going to be biased like it or not. For someone who had seen them before this show may be average, but anyones first phish show is special and this one sure was to me. My friends had slowly gotten me into phish and up until fall 2009 all I had listened to was...

What really struck me about this show is how it seems like everyone in attendance is completely into the music and just totally pumped to be there. I’m sure people were still buzzed from the Halloween show a few days earlier. Sure people are always cheering really loud between songs or when a...

Having just started a freshman year of college a huge group of us had come together to attend this show. There was a few of us that had already seen quite a few shows, and were spinning tapes and turning on new friends. The large group of balls to the wall partiers rolled down to Syracuse...

Great old time venue with a wonderful lot and feel. Heard that this is where they filmed the old hockey movie Slap Shot, and looked that way once inside. No security and easy to get around. First set is very good, particulary for this tour. While songs are short, they are certainly sweet and...

Maybe not the most technical, but definitely HIGH on energy! Fun time show, Mike was dropping bombs, Page was his slippery ol' self and Trey's rig was SCREAMING all night. Fish of course in his hometown, killed it. Anyone know what the deal was with the house lights in set 2 (during drowned...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1994-11-04 • Weekapaug Groove (10:27) Set 2 Noteworthy
A '94-style funky breakdown jam leads to a spirited "CYHMK" jam before returning to "Weekapaug" for a high intensity peak, with a great "CYHMK" ending.
1994-11-04 • David Bowie (15:12) Set 1
Great tension and dissonance combined with moments of melodic beauty and calm. Like one of the big November '94 "Tweezers" with many movements, and all packed into a 10 minute jam.
