(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...) This was only my second Phish show, but since I picked up the tape in 1996 it has continued to redeem itself as one of my favorite shows ever. I was only a freshman at Penn State...

Typically intense, complicated late-1995 Phish climaxing early in the second set, when the lucky swine in the audience (and 15 years later *we* lucky swine with CD/tape/mp3 players) are treated to a canonical 30-minute Mike's Groove. This version of Weekapaug is uniquely pleasant - played in an...

THIS REVIEW IS ABOUT THE DWD IN THIS AMAZING SHOW OK so it's short...but it's one of the most energetic, electrifying, thigh throbbing, ball dropping, fire inducing, nutso motherfucking greatest power jams this band has ever had. LISTEN AT ALL COSTS. Dunno why it's not noted on the DWD jamming...

December 1st, 1995 and the band is on fire at the Hershey Park Arena “Land of Chocolate” in Pennsylvania and now in the final stretch of the fall ’95 tour. Set one starts off with a proper Buried Alive opener and Mike takes it right into Disease following the same shape jazz chord Trey uses in...

What can I say, this was my first show. I followed the Gratefil Dead for a bunch of years and then that summer Jerry died. So, a bunch of friends of mine got me a ticket and said come along; I'm from Lancaster so the show was close. The parking lot was craziness, the show was insane ... the night...

I'm kinda floored that there is no show note on this Down with Disease. It's an absolute rager. It is a concise, tight jam... nothing remotely experimental about it, but my god does it hit the spot. I'd take this 3-4 minute jam over a more ambient, improv DWD (like, say, the 8-16-98...

7 hour and 13-minute overnight drive – BRUTAL!!! SET 1: Buried Alive: Exceptional opener and the crowd is really, really into it! > Down with Disease: The quintessential Type I DWD! This is the textbook of how you rip this song a new one. 6:10 I imagine is a soundtrack in many of our...

Notable Jam Chart Performances

Individual jam chart entries from this venue:

1995-12-01 • Mike's Song (20:16) Set 2 Noteworthy
A driving and furied 1st jam leads off. The 2nd begins with a somewhat dark sentiment, buffeted by an intense rhythmic sense. The jam then quiets briefly, before regaining its propulsive high energy nature. At 15:00, Page takes the lead, adding '95-style funk, while Trey opts for the mini kit. At the end, Trey returns to guitar to lead a clean -> to "Weekapaug," the first ever "Mike's"/"Weekapaug" pairing.
-> from "Mike's Song" (1st time ever), and played in a different key than normal. Despite some issues with the key change, the jam contains a beautiful, melodic theme.
