Notes: Memories was performed without microphones. Bowie through HYHU featured members of The Aquarium Rescue Unit. Possum contained a Barney Miller theme tease in the intro and two Charlie Chan signals and Simpsons and Oom Pa Pa signals. Rocky Top was announced as the ARU’s favorite song. The second set of this show was remastered and released as part of the archival New Orleans Relief Download release to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina. New Orleans Relief is available at LivePhish.com with all proceeds benefiting the Tipitina's Foundation and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation. The Aquarium Rescue Unit was the opening act.
This show was part of the "1991 Fall Tour."
This is a good 1991 show. Highlights of the first set for me were It's Ice and You Enjoy Myself. This is one of my favorite early YEMs; Trey RAGES in this one. The vocal jam, based on "Salami," is pretty funny, too. The Set 2 opening Brother is nice, as is the Reba. The jam in Reba takes no time to heat up and gets into the "peaking section" quickly. If nothing else, listen to the YEM, it's great.
Possum also contains a Random Laugh signal.....i bought the New Orleans Relief livephish MP3s. i just finished listening and it's already one of my favorite shows from '91 and i only heard the second set! haha idk if the first set may be strong or not, but i will definitely try and get the whole show to see for myself
