also check out the ghost and twist->tastesome people might not realize, given how it has become more regular since, but twist was one of the lesser played songs from the 97 ghost-era batch of songs, however the band consistently took the jam for type II jaunts when they did play it
this is the first jammed out gumbo and is essential listening
the desert environment does interesting things to the mood of phish as displayed in antelope. check out 9.21 and 9.22.99 to hear more of this sort of thing
7.29 is a strong date for phish with excellent shows in 98 and 03 as well
Score: 1
This show contains my all-time favorite Gumbo. So funky, with Page destroying the organ and Fish keeping it interesting throughout.
First jammed and funked out version of a song that I hope makes its return this year as the BEAST it should be.
