i dont think this show is getting the credit it deserves. there werent rarities but there was some rare playin. very nice axilla, suprise to us (and prob to the band) star spangled, better than workhorse slave, rockin fluff. good time some nice jammin...a little repetitive...they extended themselves i say 4.25

great kick off it will be a fun weekend

IMO, this show was straight PERFECT. Old-school, funky Phish... Light Up or Leave Me Alone and Corrina came out of NOWHERE, but were pure gems. Jamming was great, lot of type IIs. No too big a fan of Caspian, but the jam assuages my dislike. Sugar Shack could have been a bit more gritty. 1st set highlight for me had to have been the Axilla > Light Up and Rift, Moma Dance... GREAT TRANSITIONS and great energy. Second set was Sand and Theme. Any encore off Exile flies with me... It's gonna be a good weekend!!!

Musically, I believe that 10/29 is the best of the three Atlantic City gigs. No, it doesn't have anything noteworthy like the other two nights, and yes, it does contain a few questionable performances (Piper and Timber come to mind), but everything else is just the four of them playing at the top of their current game. Check out the Moma > Cities > 46 Days sequence or the Fluffhead set closer (my favorite Fluffhead of 3.0). You won't be disappointed.

I would have to say that a corrina is a big enough rarity to make a show.. first played in 87 and then only 4 times from 90-11.. that is a rather rare tune but I am not sure how rarities is defined, I know as a deadhead one rare song a show was rather special and would get passed around in a crappy sounding cassette..

just now listening to this enjoyable show but was not there in person

Great Show!! Ending first set with Moma Dance > Cities > (One of the most Explosive jamming I've seen on) 46 Days. This show consisted of some great type II jaming :-) Before the show I sat in the lot and threw on a Taj Mahal cd and was listening to Corinna just before going in. Which was great to hear since I haven't heard it since Feb. 24, 2003 when Phish played with BB. All in All Awesome Show.

Did everyone miss that they played Landlady between Punch You In the Eye and Sand?

Fairly good show really. Nothing crazy but enjoyable none the less. Definately the weakest of the 3 Boardwalk Hall shows though. Light Up and Corrina in the same show, just like the bust-outs at Big Cypress on 12/30/99- although neither of these versions compare to those two. Especially that SICK LUOLMA in the swamp!

I would say the Moma>Cities>46 Days is definately the highlight of this show.

Straight up 3 stars

Look here for the best Slave in 3.0.
