Review by kipmat

kipmat The bummer: I had a pavillion PTBM for this show, but wasn't able to go. The good news: I was able to sell my PTBM for face to a coworker, who had friends that were already going, so she got to see her first show!

Fishman must have had some Syracuse family at the show, because the spotlight is on him for much of the first set: Dog Faced Boy has lyrics written by Fishman, I Didn't Know brings some Electrolux action, and Taste, First Tube, and the tramps jam in YEM feature particularly excellent drumming. Despite the setlist, the 2nd set is surprisingly enjoyable; The yin-yang of 2001 > Bug and Piper > Driver actually flow nicely. And of course the Limb By Limb opener features a great jam, and more classic Fishman throughout.

Sometimes I wonder about a deeper meaning behind Trey's "We love playing here" comments, like those he made at the end of both sets at this show. I had been at the previous Phish show at Molson Ampitheater on 7/20/99, and I didn't find the venue to be particularly special, although Toronto is indeed a great city. I was living in Rochester NY at the time, and although I didn't have any problem at the border crossing, I recall seeing more than a few tour vehicles being stopped and searched at the border. Perhaps Trey's comments could be inferred to reflect on the response of the authorities to the scene surrounding Phish shows, as in, "We don't intend to take our presence in your city/country for granted" or "Please don't judge our scene by a handful of incidents".

Anyway, this show is a nice change of pace if you've been listening to a lot of 3.0 or early 1.0 Phish. Why did I miss this show? I had to see about a girl...

Review by TheEmu

TheEmu DL'd this show for the Reba. A rare show-opening version, but I was pretty disappointed. I liked it slightly better the second time I listened to it, but overall it seems like they applied the Farmhouse-era groove thing to a Reba and forgot to add the sauce at the end. Some people may enjoy this, but I find it to be kind of uninteresting as Rebas go. I'd give it a B- to be generous.

That said, the rest of the show is pretty darn nice! Moma and First Tube were pretty smokin', as was Caspian's (if you're a fan of the F***erpants). Limb By Limb is a stellar version, and the Piper is nothing to sneeze at, either. Reba aside, definitely a solid 4 star show, IMHO.

spreaditround PHISH, THURSDAY 07/06/2000
MOLSON AMPHITHEATRE
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Soundcheck: Dog Log, I Wish I Was In Guelph, Jam

SET 1:

Reba: I believe this has only opened a show 12 times and hadn’t been done since 92 and only once after this show at 6.19.04 – so super rare considering how many times Reba has been played. This one is typical but at 12:30 Trey starts up a minor chord groove and when Fish follows suit the band is uniform in this novel approach to Reba. This doesn’t last for very long but does add a certain nuance to this version. Crazy long version that is essentially peak less. The body of work is consistent and well jammed and the unique placement, this one is worth of replay value – would recommend.

Dogs Stole Things: Standard. >

Taste: Standard.

Dog Faced Boy: Standard.

Heavy Things: Standard. >

The Moma Dance: Rocks out pretty hard.

First Tube: Standard.

I Didn't Know: Standard.

The Inlaw Josie Wales: Standard.

Prince Caspian: Standard. >

Golgi Apparatus: Standard.

You Enjoy Myself: Jamcharts version but not sure why. Just your standard late 1.0 groove monster.

SET 2:

Limb By Limb[1] - Kind of the anti LxL. No big peaks and it almost goes Type II. Has a sinister, dark vibe in the last few minutes. Would recommend. Cool segue into 2001 too. >

Also Sprach Zarathustra: Dance party USA. >

Bug: Standard. >

Piper: Super boring and uninspired. Trey basically doesn’t play his guitar for many minutes on end. There are great moments in late 1.0. But it’s stuff like this that really peppered the last two or three years that turned many folks off. >

Driver: Best ever, lol?! Mike gets to jam on this one.

Harry Hood[2] - Brief, fun vocal jam in the intro. Lots of trilling by Trey in the end that leads right into the vocal refrain. Sounds kind of cool but upon closer inspection and thoughtful introspection, this is a lazy way to peak Hood. It’s like I guess this is one way to ‘peak’ Hood without really putting in the work. Hope that makes sense.

Loving Cup: Standard. So, Trey – do you like Toronto? LOL – listen to him ramble at the end of this one.

ENCORE:

The Squirming Coil: Standard.

Summary: A bland, uninspired show. Just because it is the longest show of the tour doesn’t necessarily mean it is a quality show. It’s almost bereft of highlights. Current rating is 3.857/5 (>50 ratings) on .net. That is way to high. I would give it a 3.5/5 and even that seems a tad strong.

Replay Value: Reba, Limb by Limb

[1] Unfinished.
[2] Small vocal jam during the intro.

For his vacuum solo in I Didn’t Know, Trey introduced Fish as “Mr. Ralph Blowenstein.” Limb By Limb was unfinished. Trey made several comments during the show regarding his affinity for the venue. Mike teased Maze in Piper. Hood included a small vocal jam during the intro.
