Set 2: Chalk Dust Torture^[1], Reba^[2], The Landlady > The Mango Song, Cavern, Alumni Blues > Letter to Jimmy Page > Alumni Blues

Encore: Carolina

[1] Debut.
[2] Dixie tease from Trey and Page.

Notes: This show featured the first performances of Tweezer Reprise, Guelah Papyrus and Chalk Dust Torture. Page and Trey teased Dixie during Reba. The Mango Song was played for the first time since August 19, 1989 (192 shows), though Trey curiously introduced it as being “new.” The second set was cut short due to Brown University’s curfew; after Cavern, a representative from Brown (Trey: “I don’t want to tell them, you tell them!”) informed the crowd that the show had to end by midnight and that the next song had to be the last. During a pause in Letter to Jimmy Page, Trey noted: “we’re not going to forget that this got cut short, and the next time we’re back in the area we’re going to make it up to you.” Before the hasty encore Trey remarked: “we’re going to have to watch out for the ‘big hook’!”

The YEM vocal jam closed with a quote of the Warner Brothers cartoon theme (“On with the Show, This Is It”).

Encore 2: Contact, Golgi Apparatus

[1] El Condor Paso tease in Fishman’s high hat intro and a silent jam near the end of the jam segment.
[2] Three dead stops during the jam segment and uncommon dissonance.
[3] Wolf calls during vacuum solo, final verse sung through vacuum.

Notes: Bowie contained an El Condor Paso tease in Fishman’s high hat intro, and had a silent jam near the end of the jam segment. Bag was also unusually adventurous, with three dead stops during the jam segment and uncommon dissonance. Trey briefly started Horn before Harry Hood, but abandoned it. Before Terrapin, Trey announced that Fishman would be “bringing out the big, heavy artillery” for the people in Keene. The “artillery” was Fishman’s new vacuum, which made its debut at this show. Fish noted that “if I bleed during this song, that’ll just be part of the effects.” Inspired by his new instrument, Fish took an exceedingly spacey solo during Terrapin, complete with ersatz wolf howls, before singing the final verse through the vacuum.

Encore: Magilla, Fire

[1] Happy Birthday teases, Charlie Chan signal.

Notes: This show, performed on Fishman’s birthday, had many classic moments, including Happy Birthday teases before Coil and during Bowie. Bowie also included an older signal, cued by the “Charlie Chan” lick, where the band all stopped on a dime. The Whole Lotta Love jam segued out of the vacuum solo in Love You. The Janglers were the opening act.

[1] Trey Guitar solo.

Notes: During I Didn’t Know, Trey commented that this was Phish’s first show in Tennessee, and dedicated Fish’s vacuum solo to Dr. Jack McConnell and other friends in the audience. After Cavern, Trey mentioned that James Brown got out on parole, which caused Fish to comment that a cease-fire was also called that day in Iraq. “Don’t tell me this wasn’t planned,” he insisted. Lawn Boy featured a Trey guitar solo. Rocky Top was a seemingly obvious choice as closer for the first Volunteer State show.

Uncle Pen was introduced as a band favorite and dedicated to a fan in the crowd. Trey repeated the first line of Esther several times, as if he had forgotten the rest of the lyrics. Slave (first since April 22, 1990, or 115 shows) was played for Mike from “the Telluride contingency” and was preceded by Trey’s story about the ‘88 Colorado tour. After Slave, Fishman came front and center to the tune of HYHU to tell his infamous “bear story.” Afterwards, Trey referenced the July 30, 1988, Telluride show, where Fishman was late. Chalk Dust included Manteca teases.

Notes: After Divided Sky, Trey spoke about how “exceptional” the room was, and how “inspiring” it was to play in.  He explained that the band had engaged in “philosophical discussions” about standing versus sitting at shows.  He said that some people may prefer to sit rather than stand and dance, and that the band hoped that everyone would be considerate of each other. (He also noted that he prefers to dance while listening to live music, while Page prefers to sit.) Trey added that he did not want anyone to feel uncomfortable about dancing in the aisles.

[1] Fishman on trombone.
[2] Fishman told a Siamese twin joke; Fishman trombone solo. HYHU tease from Page.
[3] Two Charlie Chan signals as well as Simpsons and Random Laugh signals.

Notes: This show featured some great stage banter. Brother was dedicated to “the guy who offered us $10,000 to play a different song.” In the HYHU intro, Fishman said “I hate this fucking song,” that the only reason the band plays the song is because he hates it and added “All I have do in this band is say I hate something, and it’ll be done forever.” Trey told the crowd that HYHU is the Henrietta theme precisely because Fish hates it. “It used to be ‘La Bamba,’” he noted, prompting Mike to play a bit of La Bamba. The HYHU outro featured Fish on trombone and later telling the crowd "you paid for this, this is what you bought." Trey said "If you only knew what a nightmare that was for poor Fish, having to listen to that song" and Fish responded with “they just do it out of HATE.”  Trey asked who could tell him who wrote that song, and a fan answered correctly. Trey said the fan won the $10,000 the other guy was going to give them to a play a song and Page said the fan won a date with Fish, with Trey adding "and you can guarantee that he'll be late." After Golgi, Trey thanked the crowd, saying "we'll be right back with more songs that Fish hates, more songs that we love, and more songs that people are willing to pay $10,000 to hear." Trey introduced Page as Leon before his piano solos in My Sweet One and Rocky Top. Before Fishman's trombone solo in I Didn't Know, Trey mentioned the last time they played in the area (see 4/11/91), they made Fish get up and tell a joke (The Prison Joke) that was "absolutely the stupidest joke ever" and that he (Trey) wasn't going tell the punchline. Trey went on to explain that most people around here thought Fish was a pretty bad joke teller and he wanted to give him a chance to redeem himself.  Fish's joke was "Why did the Siamese twins go to England? To let the other one drive for a while." Page also teased HYHU while Trey talked. Adeline was sung from the balcony to open the encore. Possum contained two Charlie Chan signals as well as Simpsons and Random Laugh signals.

[1] Without amplification.

Notes: Trey said he wrote Foam under Ernie Stires's wing and that Ernie taught him to write in that particular style. He dedicated Foam to Ernie's two children Ernie and Liz (both in attendance) and to Ernie as well. Adeline was performed without amplification. Brother was dedicated to Page's brother and Mike's brother (who were standing somewhere in the room), with Trey joking that it was "written to sort of describe their personalities... sort of a combination of the two." Guelah was introduced as a song "about a mother." He explained that this was about Dave's (Dave Abrahams's) mother, Guelah, who used to come in when he and Dave were writing songs and that when "things were getting fun," she would knock on and open the door and pull Dave out into the hall, hence the line "and through the bedroom door intrude a fretful frown and spoiled the mood. And though I never really stand that tall, she tilt my frame, she watched me fall." Fishman was introduced during I Didn't Know as "Filling in for Showboat Gertrude... Zero Man!" Walk Away was played for the first time since May 24, 1990 (167 shows). Mo Better Blues was teased prior to Squirming Coil.

[1] Oom Pa Pa, Simpsons, and Random Laugh signals. Screaming from Trey and Mike during end segment.

Notes: Before the first set, Trey introduced Mike as “Lou Reed.” After Foam, Trey mentioned how happy he was to be playing at Prescott College, which, he announced, is very similar to Goddard. There was a Secret Language Jam in the Bowie intro, with Oom Pa Pa, Simpsons, and Random Laugh signals. The disco-inflected Bowie was extremely groovy, with an on-the-fly full-band slowdown and maniacal screaming from Trey and Mike during the end segment. After Bowie, Trey introduced “Fern,” who read poetry during the setbreak. Fishman was introduced as “Showboat Gertrude” before Terrapin; he explained that the name is derived from that of the Indian singer Shoba Gurtu. Tube was played for the first time since November 16, 1990 (112 shows).

The lyrics to Gin were altered to reference a hot tub, referencing some friends who had partied at the hotel hot tub earlier that day.

[3] Charlie Chan and Oom Pa Pa signals.
[4] Extended vacuum solo by Fishman.

Notes: This show marked the first appearance of Wait. During the costume contest, there was a brief full-band tease of Jesus Just Left Chicago, inspired by a fan in a Jesus costume (with a cross on his back!). The first round of the contest closed with a rendition of Can't Turn You Loose. After each unsuccessful entrant was eliminated, Trey forced them to stage-dive.  HYHU was also played briefly during the contest. First prize - free admission to all Phish shows for one year - was shared by The Bergen County Woman Cop and Captain Bong Hit. During the final Wait, before Bowie, the audience was chanting “Fuck you!” in response. Bowie contained Charlie Chan and Oom Pa Pa signals during the jam. I Didn’t Know featured a vacuum solo by “Showboat Gertrude,” which continued well into the final verse of the song.
