Ifthir 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.

For all the flub-watchers, the transition during Guyute is rather rough...as is the end of Mule which had been really good until the transition into Oh Kee Pa.

Flubs and a rough finish during the 2nd set opener of Rift.

Bouncing doesn't really bear a review as pretty much all versions are identical.

The Reba provides a good liftoff though, pretty much nailed with some very good playing and a nice Trey solo to finish.

A rough but high-energy Axilla part 2 follows and then kind of fades out into the YEM intro which quickly morphs into Vibration of Life and then nicely back into YEM.

After some HYHU silliness and a fine Cracklin Rosie, Bowie gets a slow start with Fishman? saying "When the cows come out to play..." well this Bowie is pretty solid and sure packs the beef.

A nice trio of Nellie Kane, Foreplay/Longtime and an Amazing Grace round out a solid if not spectacular show from fall 1994.

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 holding the simbob and beepafone longer and more vocal action.

It's Ice, Mike goes crazy...awesome break down. you'll have to check it out.

NICU, great song, Page

Run like an Antelope...teases yes, ripper yes...break down after heavy jam is jungleish, spooky jungleish, big drum junga, really kool stuff run run run run run run run

First early version of guyute ive ever heard. spacier intro than present versions, refer to it's ice

dog faced boy was played well and scent of a mule kicks ass
o kee pah is always fun, suzy suzy suzy, stando version, nice jammin on runaway jim to end the first

second set is wild

high energy rift, bouncing comes to continue anticipation

Reba is very well executed. the jam starts out slow and you just ride the wave really...trey plays awesome as usual but turn your ears on page in this one, he's the perfect glue and his sound is a beaut

Axilla Part 2 - Love this song, like the lyrics more than part 1 and the spooky jam at the end (even spooky than normal in this one)..too bad they haven't played it since 97

YEM - Vibro - YEM - awesomely 1994...hardcore jamming, simple teases, trey's nerdy vibro speech, flat weird and scary vocal jam ex... washhaaaaa, sheee uhhh, ha ha ha, catapulting down town, favoritefianeinalavendergound (yea that fast).... sorry, i lost it there but seriously GREEN PEACE MIKE!

thank you for the hyhu and cracklin rosie break, that was too weird, but amazing

Just when you think you couldn't get anymore, "the cows come out to play!!!!!!!" with high hats from none other than john fishman fishman fish.... rockin socks sik and yet again very weird metalish bowie type 1 type 2 type 5 and type 19 jamming going on here

I loved Phish during this time with their weird setlists, more vocal improv, and high energy sets, wish i couldve been at this one, sometimes i feel i was when i listen to it. im from boone but was only 8 when this show was going on... shoulda been a decade earlier....

Listen to this show

tillmanj 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 smile like a phool every time I hear it. This was the show that cemented the boys in my heart.
