Jam Chart for Friday (1041 entries)

Date	Song	City	Timing	Notes
1985-02-01	Antelope	Burlington, VT	0:00	First known performance of "Run Like An Antelope." No recording available.
1985-03-08	Sneakin' Sally	Burlington, VT	0:00	Debut. No recording available
1985-05-03	Mike's	Burlington, VT	7:20	First known recorded version. No Page yet, although he sat in later in this show. Jeff was still in the band. Tempo is slower than later versions. The jam features solid, fairly intense soloing by Trey. Following the descending closing chords, there is a brief, lyrical outro.
1985-05-03	Whipping Post	Burlington, VT	18:19	Page is a guest at this point, but he makes a strong contribution to the uncharacteristically (for the ABB or Phish) settled first jam from, 5:30 - 11:45. This is a much different, more chill version than the typically fiery variety. Unfinished with a -> to a strong early "McGrupp."
1985-05-03	McGrupp	Burlington, VT	12:03	-> in from "Whipping Post." Again, the lyrics are narrated. Page sat in as a guest for this show, and he begins make his presence felt, adding color to the excellent, guitar-driven jam, which has moments that sound similar to "Drowned". Eventually getting back to "McGrupp," this version slowly winds down with a > to "Makisupa."
1985-05-03	Antelope	Burlington, VT	6:08	First recorded performance. -> in from "Makisupa." Jam section only of "Antelope" is played at a slower tempo, but otherwise has crescendo building characteristics similar to modern versions. -> to the debut of the Grateful Dead's "The Other One."
1986-10-31	Jam	Plainfield, VT	5:45	A really good Trey-led jam opens Set II. Rocking and blues-infused, this offers a glimpse at early improvisation. > to "Bag."
1986-10-31	Bowie	Plainfield, VT	10:05	Earliest known live version. Jam is played at a slowed tempo initially, but picks up speed and intensity as it develops.
1987-02-13	Suzy	Johnson, VT	9:18	Debut. The Dude of Life on vocals. The Dude sounds kind of frustrated and angry in this version.
1987-04-24	YEM	Burlington, VT	13:14	Cool segue into "Dave's Energy Guide" out of the vocal jam ("VJ").
1987-08-21	Hood	Hebron, NY	14:09	Strong early "Hood" includes a long, slow-tempo intro (to 3:50) with dogs barking in the background, and a soaring and unusually long (for this period) Trey-led jam, prompting Fishman to comment "that's why I'm in the band."
1987-08-21	Curtain With	Hebron, NY	12:12	Gotta love the dogs, Marley and/or others barking in the background throughout. The Curtain section is very precise, and filled with a sense of energy. Listening along, you can imagine the band had practiced the composed section extensively. The With jam begins with delicate, lofty soloing by Trey, then gradually builds up to a crescendo, before easing back down and fading into the ether.
1987-08-21	Wilson	Hebron, NY	6:25	First ever "Wilson" chant from the band in a stretched out intro with nice droning organ and funky Trey comping before reaching the chord changes. When the band takes the volume down, some incredibly well-timed dog barking leads the band into a few lysergic, descending, atonal moments. Signature, briskly-paced, early version.
1987-08-21	Mike's	Hebron, NY	13:14	Very improvisational version, for any period. Has "Fluffhead"-like moments, a Grateful Dead vibe at times, and the jamming covers a huge range of exploratory ground. Must-hear early Phish improv.
1987-08-21	Skin It Back	Hebron, NY	13:12	Replete with Marley or some other dog's barking, the band launches an exploratory, improvisational take on the Little Feat classic. The driving jam features great Mike and Page, and predictably rapid-fire Trey action. Becoming increasingly abstract after 10:30, the playing begins to settle, and Mike leads the band with a great -> into "Low Rider Jam."
1987-08-21	Low Rider	Hebron, NY	6:30	-> from an improvisational "Skin it Back," this early nod to the War classic works to cool down the fury from the preceding jam, as Trey humorously sings "La Bamba" lyrics over the "Low Rider" melody. Picking up a blues-tinged theme after 4:30, this great and grooving full-band improv rocks on and -> "Back Porch Boogie Blues."
1987-08-21	Back Porch Boogie Blues	Hebron, NY	7:47	-> in from a fun "Low Rider Jam," you may initially hear Grateful Dead-like jamming in this blues-based instrumental. Trey leads the band into increasingly frenetic playing, and Mike and Fish heroically manage to keep up with the torrid pace. Settling down into a more groovy bent, Trey cleverly sets the deck for an unexpected -> to "The Sloth."
1987-08-21	McGrupp	Hebron, NY	9:42	The first version with lyrics sung rather than narrated. The jam follows a similar pattern to others from this period, with Trey strumming quite a bit while Page rocks the keyboard, but this one grows increasingly intense before seeming to veer towards "Possum." Instead, the jam explores more ground, then -> to "Stir It Up Jam" with no return to the typical closing.
1987-08-21	Stir It Up	Hebron, NY	5:37	-> in from a strong "McGrupp." While all members contribute (Page's early playing is varied and inspiried) Trey dominates, slowly working Marley's "Stir It Up" into its more traditional form, the ensuing jam informed by lines warm and melodic, rich in tone. Beautiful, must-hear material.
1987-08-21	Makisupa	Hebron, NY	10:56	A supremely odd version. "Makisupa" proper begins more than six minutes in, after the "Stir It Up Jam" comes to a full stop. The first few minutes feature Trey ad libbing, lyrics over a loose, playful jam. It's mostly weird, but the last minute of the jam is a long, magnificent segue -> "David Bowie."
1988-08-05	YEM	Telluride, CO	17:29	Colorado '88 version. Excellent segue into "Cities."
1988-08-05	Cities	Telluride, CO	4:44	"Dave's Energy Guide" ("DEG") is played towards the end of the song before a brief return to "Cities." "DEG" would be played within "Cities" again on 8/22/88, 9/8/88, 9/13/88, and 3/1/89 in a similar manner.
1988-08-05	DEG	Telluride, CO	1:25	-> in from "Cities" and -> back to "Cities."
1988-08-05	Cities	Telluride, CO	0:37	-> in from "DEG." Returns to "Cities" briefly to conclude.
1988-11-11	Bowie	Newmarket, NH	11:41	Similar to 11/5/88 with excellent and angry tension building. Good dissonance in the trill as well.
1988-11-11	Whipping Post	Newmarket, NH	12:14	The second jam includes some really cool spacey effects from Page and Trey, almost more Floyd than ABB-like, followed by a brief, intense return to "Whipping Post." This space jam is way, way out there for '88 Phish.
1989-02-17	SOAMelt	Newmarket, NH	0:00	Debut. No recording available.
1989-03-24	Mike's	Boston, MA	6:48	This fiery version marks the first instance of the 2nd jam, separated from the 1st jam by D, E, and F# chords at 5:22. While only 20 seconds in duration, over time, the 2nd jam would at times become significant. The 2nd jam concludes with a repeat of the D,E, and F# chords, followed by the closing chords.
1989-04-14	Esther	Johnson, VT	9:32	Great early version which showcases the song's potential, featuring particularly strong playing from Page and great soloing from Trey.
1989-05-26	YEM	Rutland, VT	20:08	No bass & drums ("B&D") section. TREY IS ON FIRE!!!
1989-05-26	Bowie	Rutland, VT	18:04	Very long intro with hilarious banter from Trey, this is the infamous LAZY LESTER BOWIE, with incredible playing by all. Hear it for yourself!
1989-05-26	Gin	Rutland, VT	4:48	Debut. No real jam at all. Instead, the "Bathtub Gin" vocal refrain is extended slightly, and then the song abruptly ends.
1989-06-30	Possum	Northampton, MA	7:46	Cool twangy playing by Trey early on, then he just rips. Great recording quality.
1989-06-30	Fluffhead	Northampton, MA	13:36	A strong, rocking Fluff's Travels sets the table, and while Trey gets slightly tripped up in The Chase, he makes a strong comeback. This recording is a good one if you want focus on Fish, who, more than anyone, is the key to holding this complex composition together. Awesome Mike bass action during Page's solo in Clod - Check It Out! Mike's pronouncement, "Come On Fluffy!" launches a full-power, Fish and Trey-driven Arrival.
1989-10-20	YEM	Burlington, VT	15:45	Serious "Small Furry Creatures Groovin' with a Pict" (Floyd) VJ.
1989-11-03	Bowie	Portland, ME	16:43	Teases (see Setlist), including some in the middle of the jam, which is unusual. But that fits with this weird, very improvisational version. Not magical music, but if you like quirky improv, check it out.
1989-11-10	Hood	Clinton, NY	11:19	As a good bouncy jam builds, there are a few times when Trey sustains a single note, and Page and Mike fill in nicely.
1989-12-01	Possum	Boston, MA	8:26	Quite a few guitar playing styles on display here in this rousing, encore slot version. Great way to end a show.
1989-12-08	Timber Ho	Poultney, VT	6:23	An unbelievable amount of tension and dissonance packed into a demented six-plus minutes of Phish.
1990-01-26	SOAMelt	Portland, ME	8:15	Excellent version with solid exploratory jamming as well as simmering tension as the jam progresses.
1990-02-09	Reba	Lancaster, PA	11:58	Trey creates such incredible sustain (and on two separate occasions) that this effort alone merits consideration. Or you can simply use the time listening to Mike, Page, and Fish, who, fully in-synch, play expertly one off the other, creating that classic "Reba" syncopation.
1990-02-09	Bowie	Lancaster, PA	12:52	Awesome Mike and Page in this exploratory version that includes a "Wipeout" tease (11:02).
1990-02-23	Possum	Haverford, PA	7:26	"Alumni Blues" tease in intro. Cool jam that's quite different and interesting. Good quality recording.
1990-03-09	Ya Mar	Burlington, VT	6:58	Dave Grippo on alto saxophone.
1990-03-09	Reba	Burlington, VT	12:08	With a noticeably faster tempo for the era, the inventive and sustained "Manteca" teasing grabs one's attention at first, but the dynamic modulation and inspired interaction between Trey and Mike is what truly impresses, here. A highly musical build, with Trey trilling and scattering notes - while maintaining the jam's signature theme - further cements this version as an early classic.
1990-03-09	YEM	Burlington, VT	15:01	Grippo on sax. Teasefest includes "Frankenstein."
1990-05-04	YEM	Keene, NH	17:17	"Flashlight" teases." "You Gotta Be A Doctor" VJ.
1990-05-11	Possum	Providence, RI	9:10	"Johnny B. Goode" teases plus a somewhat dissonant and incendiary conclusion to the jam. This is a serious ripper.
1990-06-01	Antelope	Atlanta, GA	14:03	Awesome version with the "Reverend" Jeff Mosier on banjo and Oteil Burbridge on bass. Great intro, good jam with a huge peak, and then a cool breakdown jam featuring the bass acompanied with scat singing.
1990-09-14	Tweezer	Providence, RI	11:34	Multiple Charlie Chan signals as well as Popeye, Random Laugh and Oom Pa Pa signals. (aka "secret language").
1990-09-14	Destiny	Providence, RI	5:27	Debut.
1990-09-21	YEM	Somerville, MA	18:45	Excellent jam segment; "Sweet Emotion" tease (Mike).
1990-09-28	Gumbo	Poughkeepsie, NY	4:19	Debut. Drawn-out intro, and it ends kinda suddenly midst the jam. Work in progress.
1990-10-05	Possum	Saratoga Springs, NY	9:54	Dissonant and experimental jamming at first, followed by dependably blazing fast Trey in the latter half of the jam.
1990-11-02	Possum	Boulder, CO	0:51	"Possum" -> "Buried Alive" -> "Possum." Great song pairing and an excellent, improvisational, and fiery jam.
1990-11-02	Buried Alive	Boulder, CO	1:48	-> in from "Possum." "Buried Alive" is played in the intro. Awesome combination and one of the best "Possums" ever. -> back to "Possum."
1990-11-02	Possum	Boulder, CO	9:35	-> in from "Buried Alive," which is played in the intro. The jam in this "Possum" is awesome, and the "Buried Alive" sandwich is just the icing on the cake.
1990-11-02	YEM	Boulder, CO	17:30	Very good pre-'91 jam segment.
1990-11-02	Bowie	Boulder, CO	15:10	Tease-fest intro (see Setlist). The jam itself is pretty ripping and gets beyond "Bowie" with great tension building, nasty guitar licks from Trey, and teases or little jams on "Rocky Mountain Way," "DEG," "Fluffhead," and "Wipe Out." Released on Live Bait 6.
1990-11-16	Runaway Jim	Providence, RI	6:14	Super percussion propels virtually every notable "Jim", and, here, it's fun to follow Fishman. Page, however, provides on-point fills and impressive runs, while Mike, dialed in, compliments Trey's customarily incendiary play.
1990-11-30	Llama	Keene, NH	4:43	Played at a quicker (normal) tempo than the earliest versions, this one features more, really sick shredding.
1990-11-30	Possum	Keene, NH	10:21	Enjoy listening to Page, Mike and Fish rock out while Trey sustains a single note for nearly 90 seconds (6:30 - 8:00).
1990-12-07	Bowie	Amherst, MA	13:19	Although essentially "Type I," this is a sick puppy with mind-numbing tension, "DEG"-like jamming and a "Mo' Better Blues" tease in the intro. Trey is on fire in the trill section.
1990-12-28	Coil	New York, NY	8:00	A splendid full-band outro with melodic riffing that hints at the "Manteca" which fully emerges from the following -> "Tweezer".
1990-12-28	Tweezer	New York, NY	6:30	Deservedly popular early version with "Manteca."
1990-12-28	Manteca	New York, NY	1:20	-> in from "Tweezer." "Manteca" is sandwiched inside the "Tweezer" jam.
1990-12-28	Tweezer	New York, NY	4:44	-> in from "Manteca" to complete this "Tweezer."
1991-02-01	Tweezer	Providence, RI	10:21	First "Tweezer Reprise" (aka TweePrise) followed this Tweezer.
1991-02-01	CDT	Providence, RI	5:33	Debut.
1991-02-01	Reba	Providence, RI	11:57	A rhythmic composition carved from a great, grooving vibe finds Trey leading the band through a jam featuring "Dixie" teasing, warm and graceful shifts in tempo, super huge notes bent and sustained, all of which builds into inspired "Dave's Energy Guide"-like playing.
1991-02-08	Antelope	Portsmouth, NH	10:12	Mean and nasty spirited beast of a jam with extreme tension.
1991-02-15	Bowie	Keene, NH	12:04	"The Sounds of Silence" ->'s into a wonderfully noisy version, featuring improvisation that marks the very best "Bowie's," and, in spirit, Phish, generally. Following great composed play, hear a radical departure from the song, proper. Here, too, is a jam that is somehow both of (crazy changes and playful nature) and beyond (an expertly placed false-ending) its time. This is music for all ages.
1991-02-15	Bag	Keene, NH	6:40	Fast as a Fall '95 "Reba," this centerpiece "Bag" is an improvisational bonanza, showcasing truly unusual and adventurous play. A series of stop/start passages invites inventive exploration (read: Mike) before Trey lays into some seriously crazy sustain; this builds to intense soloing which somehow works to reshape the song's structure, the four then casually whipping through a fierce, fun, glasses-tinkling conclusion.
1991-02-22	Antelope	Chapel Hill, NC	11:22	Aggressive Trey in a dissonant jam with strong Evil Mike in a slightly jazzy mode.
1991-03-08	Stash	Tuscaloosa, AL	9:15	First version that really stretches beyone standard "Stash." Somewhat dissonant, with interesting Trey soloing.
1991-03-08	Tweezer	Tuscaloosa, AL	6:46	INSANE version, with an extra guitarist and a trombonist from Aquarium Rescue Unit. Includes "DEG" with Trey uttering McArthur Park lyrics.
1991-03-08	DEG	Tuscaloosa, AL	1:05	-> in from "Tweezer." "DEG" is sandwiched inside "Tweezer" with ARU playing alongside.
1991-03-08	Tweezer	Tuscaloosa, AL	2:27	-> in from "DEG" to complete this "Tweezer."
1991-03-22	Antelope	Steamboat Springs, CO	9:42	Really good and unsual vocal jam in the intro, followed by a pugnacious jam with sick Mike and Trey.
1991-04-19	Antelope	Buffalo, NY	9:49	Mike and Fish establish a good groove over which Trey adds layers of dissonance, including ear splitting wailing.
1991-04-26	Possum	Plymouth, NH	8:28	Solid, mildly dissonant jam that picks up a serious head of steam.
1991-05-03	Tweezer	Somerville, MA	10:00	"Sweet Emotion" quote/jam.
1991-05-03	Runaway Jim	Somerville, MA	6:49	Another example of what makes the band so special. Tight, full-band play, featuring truly dynamic percussion "within" wonderful phrasing and a wild, vivid, yet wholly controlled array of notes from Trey. Cools > "Tela".
1991-05-03	YEM	Somerville, MA	17:55	Great VJ!
1991-05-17	CDT	Providence, RI	9:56	A brief blackout occurs during this version. Fishman continues playing, and is joined by Carl Gerhard on trumpet. Power comes back and a jazzy jam ensues.
1991-05-17	Magilla	Providence, RI	5:11	Carl Gerhard on trumpet. The sound of a trumpet is qualitatively different than saxophone, but both sound terrific with "Magilla." Fun "Flintstones Theme" teasing by Gerhard is icing on the cake, and Fish has some great action too.
1991-07-12	Bag	Keene, NH	5:43	Giant Country Horns (who also played on 7/14/91, 7/21/91, and 7/25/91). Horns are a great addition. This version was released on Live Phish Vol. 19.
1991-07-12	Mike's	Keene, NH	6:27	Giant Country Horns version, definitely worth checking out if you haven't heard "Mike's" avec horns before. GCH also performed on "Mike's" in 1991 on July 11, 14, 15, 18, 21, 23, 25, and 27.
1991-07-12	Weekapaug	Keene, NH	6:00	Great jazzy Mike in the intro, then from about 3:00 - 3:45, the jam takes on an atypical but melodic and uplifting feel.
1991-07-19	Tweezer	Somerville, MA	11:32	Giant Country Horns, and Fishman vocalizations (and improvised lyrics) over the jam, help make this an atypically fierce version.
1991-07-26	YEM	Athens, GA	17:12	Fantastic jam segment with the Giant Country Horns!
1991-07-26	Tweezer	Athens, GA	11:30	Strong version with the Giant Country Horns.
1991-09-27	It's Ice	Rochester, NY	9:21	Some excellent tension building by Page and Trey in the jam segment.
1991-09-27	Possum	Rochester, NY	8:43	Great rock-the-house version with excellent Mike and Fish. While not highly improvisational, it's just solid through and through, and includes amusing banter before the song.
1991-09-27	Suzy	Rochester, NY	5:12	Great Page and Fish on this rocking version, who briefly drive the ship into out of bounds territory. Timing may be longer due to a cut in the recording.
1991-10-04	Magilla	Madison, WI	4:15	Page opts for his organ to employ cool, spacey effects. A cosmic, studio sort of sound, which greatly enhances the jam. Trey modifies his tone, accordingly. Page reverts to a more traditional sound and solos ensue before the band makes a nice > into "David Bowie."
1991-10-04	Bowie	Madison, WI	10:51	Almost immediately breaks from the standard. Strong and dissonant improvisation, with an unexpected section of quiet space before the storm rebuilds. Short but powerful.
1991-10-11	Bowie	Seattle, WA	11:35	The jam, very much based on "Cavern," is pretty cool. Returns to "Bowie" for a solid wrap-up.
1991-10-18	Runaway Jim	San Francisco, CA	7:24	The Great American Music Hall provides the stage for one of the greatest examples of an emerging Phish staple, the affectionately labeled: "Runaway Foam". First, Fish is awesome. Second, Trey makes a number of subtle and savvy moves that lay the foundation - or at least functions as illustration - for "Jim's" inevitable groundbreaking potential.
1991-10-18	Brother	San Francisco, CA	5:45	Once this one kicks into overdrive, it's really excellent with chaos and screaming guitar sounds.
1991-11-08	Brother	Tuscaloosa, AL	6:14	The Wailing Banshee version. With "Brother," more twisted and mind exploding = better.
1991-11-08	Weekapaug	Tuscaloosa, AL	8:17	An improvisational jam for this period includes contrasting dissonant/upbeat sentiments and a cool swinging section beginning at 5:20, which includes Trey chanting "A slice of pizza" and "A bucket of lard" several times. Charlie Chan and Simpsons signals taboot.
1991-11-08	Jam	Tuscaloosa, AL	0:57	> in from "JJLC." Dissonant intro jam for the Dude of Life (Steve Pollak) precedes the Dude singing vocals on "Self."
1991-11-22	Brother	Portland, ME	6:07	While it's far less dissonant than most early versions, there is some truly amazing playing by Trey in this one. Fish and Mike are also strong.
1991-11-22	Divided	Portland, ME	13:30	Unusually long jam for this period. Trey is absolutely on fire in this one.
1991-12-06	Magilla	Middlebury, VT	3:16	Super, compact, and tease-filled (see "show notes"), Page powers through this fun, dynamic version, which modulates nicely before a > into "The Landlady." A really great version, and a really great pairing.
1991-12-06	Possum	Middlebury, VT	16:06	Extended hihat intro, during which the band repeats "Wait" over and over for 5:30, and then play Simpson's language. Fish asks the crowd, "Can I hear you say yes? Can I...Boner?" At 8:53 they return to Possum, teasing "Wait," and engaging in the "stop and start" style of improv, and trey teases "Buried Alive." Version finishes with a "Turning Japanese" tease.
1992-03-06	It's Ice	Portsmouth, NH	9:10	Full band jam featuring Page on the organ instead of piano. Almost sounds like a "YEM" jam for a measure or two.
1992-03-06	Maze	Portsmouth, NH	7:21	Debut is played at a slower tempo than later versions, and Page's solo features the piano rather than the B-3.
1992-03-06	My Friend	Portsmouth, NH	5:41	Debut.
1992-03-06	Stash	Portsmouth, NH	8:24	"Stash" starts to get interesting in 1992. First version of the year is a good one, with lots of tension and the beginnings of pushing the jam beyond convention.
1992-03-06	Possum	Portsmouth, NH	9:25	Twangy country-like jam becomes more typically high powered. Several signals taboot (see Setlist).
1992-03-13	Fluffhead	Providence, RI	14:47	Holy smokes, another scorching "Fluffhead." But before you jump to the soaring and exuberant Arrival, pay close attention to this awesome Bundle of Joy (as well as everything preceding it). Only thanks to all the tension building and rhythmic push and pull in this penultimate section can the sweetness of the finale be fully appreciated. And a fun "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" tease at the very end is the icing on this triumphant cake.
1992-03-13	Antelope	Providence, RI	10:54	"Antelope" -> "BBFCFM" -> "Antelope." Intense, dark and exploratory jam in "Antelope" morphs and segues, then morphs again into Hawaiian/Three Stooges humor before return to "Antelope" to conclude. One of the best "Antelopes" ever.
1992-03-13	BBFCFM	Providence, RI	3:14	-> in from "Antelope." A crazy and humorous version with Hawaiian and Three Stooges humor and other good stuff -> back to "Antelope" to conclude this incredible version.
1992-03-13	Antelope	Providence, RI	3:16	-> in from "BBFCFM" to conclude this epic version.
1992-03-20	Brother	Binghamton, NY	5:27	Excellent "Alligator Pit" banter. Actually sounds like Trey is firing a machine gun at the audience!
1992-03-20	Antelope	Binghamton, NY	14:37	An excellent, riveting and intense jam is followed by Fish on trombone in the pre-"Marco" section. Awesome version!
1992-03-20	Weekapaug	Binghamton, NY	9:56	A wild and improvisational version with all sorts of good stuff: strong Mike in the intro, unusual play and a vocal jam of sorts, exploratory play that gets well beyond standard fare, signals, an "On Broadway" tease, and sick, sick playing by Trey.
1992-03-27	Magilla	Charlotte, NC	3:58	> from "Dinner and a Movie," Trey takes a cool line and really plays up the melody. Page takes over, his solo unique and varied, a sound awash in waves.
1992-04-03	Possum	Avon, CO	10:39	This is an excellent and far-ranging jam for a "Possum." Not "Type II" or anything, but Trey mixes it up quite a bit.
1992-04-17	Reba	San Francisco, CA	14:06	Progressive and dynamic, this "Reba" features excellent full-band play. While great in a vacuum, the notable rhythmic shifts, accentuated by marked and exploratory syncopation, provide a crystal ball glimpse into the improvisational future of this most Phishy of songs.
1992-04-17	Bowie	San Francisco, CA	11:12	Nice jam that gets out there, then -> to "Catapult" and -> back to "Bowie" in the trill section.
1992-04-17	Catapult	San Francisco, CA	1:01	-> in from "David Bowie." Performance debut of "Catapult" occurs in the trill section of "DB." -> back to "Bowie."
1992-04-17	Bowie	San Francisco, CA	0:23	-> in from "Catapult" to end this solid "Bowie."
1992-04-17	Brother	San Francisco, CA	5:42	Page's brother appeared on stage in a bathtub for this second set opener. Sick Trey. Everyone excels in this version, but especially Fish. (timing is estimated because tape begins about 45 seconds into the song).
1992-04-17	YEM	San Francisco, CA	18:31	Ninja Custodians VJ.
1992-04-17	Tweezer	San Francisco, CA	10:30	Among the better pre-1993 Tweezers.
1992-04-24	Stash	Portland, OR	10:24	The first seriously exploratory version with rhythmic gyrations, unusual melody from Trey, and experimental playing.
1992-04-24	Mike's	Portland, OR	9:05	While the first section is another solid April '92 showing, the real meat here is the 2nd jam, which has unusually exploratory and improvisational play for this period, even jazzy sounding Mike and some carnival-like melodies from Page and Trey.
1992-04-24	Weekapaug	Portland, OR	7:35	An unusual vocal jam occurs alongside "On Broadway" teasing, followed by a rocking and intense jam, which is unfinished, and -> to "The Mango Song."
1992-04-24	Llama	Portland, OR	4:56	What do you call it when the sick get sicker?
1992-05-01	It's Ice	Milwaukee, WI	10:21	Begins with Fish playing the "Bowie" hi-hat intro, and Trey in the wrong key, but the Page-led jam is strong.
1992-05-08	Reba	North Tonawanda, NY	12:52	A fantastic example of improvisation and exploration. Launching into the jam section, Trey fully modifies his tone (think "Esther"). Page colors the passage with creative fills, which results in a hushed, sonic soundscape. A strong build develops into concentrated "DEG"-like playing, before Fish toms this powerful version to a close.
1992-05-08	YEM	North Tonawanda, NY	20:08	Hysterical VJ!
1992-07-24	YEM	Wantagh, NY	17:03	French hairdo VJ.
1992-07-31	YEM	Cuyahoga Falls, OH	18:37	Very strong pre-'93 version, released by Kevin Shapiro on LiveBait 07.
1992-08-14	Llama	Los Angeles, CA	5:11	> in from "The Squirming Coil." Trey is sick as expected, but Mike and Fish are awesome and add a lot to this ripper.
1992-10-30	Stash	Boston, MA	9:53	Excellent and unusual version. A great quiet section and good improvisational playing.
1992-11-20	Stash	Albany, NY	11:25	The first "Stash" with an extended section that breaks away from the song proper. While similar to 10/30/92, this one is more developed and spellbinding, and includes "Linus And Lucy" teasing. Returns to high tension, standard "Stash" to conclude.
1992-11-20	Tube	Albany, NY	3:24	Strong early version with nice organ work by Page. "Buried Alive" tease from Trey.
1992-11-27	Divided	Port Chester, NY	16:45	Outstanding version, an anomaly that jams far longer than any other performance prior to 10/31/94. Of course Trey is blistering here, but this also has a distinctly quiet, settled section that anticipates the band's less rocking, more restrained sound in the later '90s.
1992-11-27	SOAMelt	Port Chester, NY	9:35	Very cool and exploratory jam includes a nice quiet section and some good, rhythm-oriented jamming.
1992-11-27	Possum	Port Chester, NY	10:39	Great tension building, multiple peaks and shredding Trey in a roaring "Possum."
1992-11-27	Bowie	Port Chester, NY	13:28	Jam starts in a quiet, pensive style, but picks up a head of steam, getting nasty and intense.
1992-12-04	Possum	St. Louis, MO	11:48	Mostly straightforward, but the jam has multiple sections, and with each, Trey alters the riff or jam style. Solid.
1992-12-11	Possum	Ann Arbor, MI	11:56	"Flat Fee"-like playing early, then the jam takes off, getting more and more rocking with multiple peaks. Intense ending.
1993-02-05	Bowie	New York, NY	0:18	"Vibration Of Life" in intro. Cool jam with some interesting rhythmic variation.
1993-02-05	Vibration of Life	New York, NY	2:43	-> in from "DB." "VOL" is performed during the "Bowie" intro. -> back to "DB."
1993-02-05	Bowie	New York, NY	11:56	-> in from "Vibration Of Life." Cool jam with some interesting rhythmic variation.
1993-02-12	Wedge	Poughkeepsie, NY	6:38	Another "Wedge," another intro. Here, Trey leads, with Page playing in support. This dynamic produces different soloing, featuring more Trey, and great, restrained Page. The band modulates intensity through a cool outro.
1993-02-12	Reba	Poughkeepsie, NY	13:12	After scratching his way into the jam, Trey plays melodically, offset by Page, who features prominently in this version, offering accents and a series of fills to compliment the version's central theme. Mike and Fish sync up before Trey enters into another musical passage, infused with any number of notes, before the band works through a few false peaks as means to alight upon a nice, soaring release.
1993-02-12	Hood	Poughkeepsie, NY	12:29	The jam starts with a really nice, swinging vibe. As it builds, Trey has some great soloing, topping it off with strong trilling.
1993-02-19	Bowie	Atlanta, GA	0:44	"Moby Dick" jam, teases and signal in intro. Jam itself is very good, if largely "Type I," with more "Moby Dick" teasing.
1993-02-19	Moby Dick	Atlanta, GA	3:30	-> in from "DB." To celebrate Fish's birthday, the boys bust out a little drum-centric Led Zeppelin. > back to "DB."
1993-02-19	Bowie	Atlanta, GA	11:10	> in from "Moby Dick." The "Bowie" intro continues briefly before launching the composed section and a solid "Bowie" jam with more "Moby Dick" teases.
1993-02-19	Llama	Atlanta, GA	5:11	Jimmy Herring on guitar. Section breakdown is Page, then Trey, then Jimmy. They all rock it, hard.
1993-02-26	SOAMelt	Tampa, FL	9:01	Machine Gun Trey takes out the audience in this largely straightforward, but blistering hot version. Fish rocks too.
1993-03-05	Weekapaug	Dallas, TX	10:00	Strong varied and experimental jamming with multiple sections. Fish earns his stripes keeping the rhythm in check while keeping pace with the mind of Trey. The return to home base after being far, far away is a thrilling rocker.
1993-03-05	JJLC	Dallas, TX	9:01	Soulful Page on the B-3. Then Trey gradually rips his section up into an incendiary peak.
1993-03-12	Bowie	Vail, CO	12:46	Vicious, mean-spirited, dissonant, ripping guitar work, "outside-the-box" deviations, and teases taboot. All the ingredients are here for a classic '93 "Bowie."
1993-03-19	Runaway Jim	Redlands, CA	9:31	The first version to stretch beyond standard "Jim." Cool little exploratory departure starting at 7:30.
1993-03-19	It's Ice	Redlands, CA	10:35	Bizarre and creepy jam includes a "Rhapsody In Blue" tease from Page, and an unusual ending with screaming.
1993-03-19	Weekapaug	Redlands, CA	14:32	The jam breaks down to near silence with just Page and Fish quietly musing. Then the energy gradually rebuilds with great rocking fills from Trey and Mike before circling back to "Weekapaug" proper. Ends with an extended vocal jam which -> to "HYHU."
1993-03-26	SOAMelt	San Francisco, CA	8:26	Great version - sounds like a neck-and-neck horse race between Fish and Trey trying to keep pace with each other.
1993-03-26	Tweezer	San Francisco, CA	12:17	Very drawn-out, extended ending.
1993-04-02	Weekapaug	Bellingham, WA	14:18	The breakdown begins with dissonant rocking by Trey and Mike, then leaves "Weekapaug" altogether, journeying through several improvisational soundscapes. Arguably the most out-there, experimental "Weekapaug" ever, with a blazing return home and vocal jam taboot.
1993-04-09	Stash	Minneapolis, MN	10:50	Several minutes of growly, percussive, dissonant, and atypical jamming.
1993-04-16	Weekapaug	Louisville, KY	9:44	The jam quickly moves beyond the standard into exploratory '93 territory, with Page, Mike and Trey mixing it up in the quiet section, which reduces down to little more than a quiet pulse, before rebuilding in a thrilling, powerful and electrified manner and returning to "Weekapaug."
1993-04-16	Gumbo	Louisville, KY	4:12	Short jam, but a dramatic, extended ending with screaming. Highly entertaining for a short version.
1993-04-23	Weekapaug	Hamilton, NY	11:22	A strong and exploratory jam with good dynamic modulation, excellent Fish, and some inspired and "hose"-like melodic playing by Trey from 7:25 and 9:25. The setlist describes this as "atypical, jazz-laced jams." I'd just call it ass-kicking '93 Phish.
1993-04-30	Possum	West Hartford, CT	9:56	Experimental jam with quiet scat singing by Trey early, good tension, a near breakaway section at 6:00, and pounding Fish.
1993-04-30	Wilson	West Hartford, CT	7:11	Lengthy, playful, discordant intro with "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" teases from Page on keys and Trey on vocals. The Morricone teases continue throughout, most effectively as the nightcap to a queasy, little jam preceding "BLAT BOOM".
1993-04-30	YEM	West Hartford, CT	23:30	Excellent B&D!
1993-05-07	Antelope	Bangor, ME	10:29	Unbelievable staccato picking by Trey throughout the jam is matched by deft playing Page and Fish. A serious ripper.
1993-05-07	YEM	Bangor, ME	22:05	"Mission: Impossible" teases and a "Yield Not to Temptation" jam. Vocal jam based on the "Bonanza" theme.
1993-07-16	2001	Philadelphia, PA	3:42	Phish debut.
1993-07-23	Antelope	Wantagh, NY	11:46	Searing hot and extremely improvisational jamming, with several false peaks followed by gut-wrenching tension.
1993-07-30	Reba	Antioch, TN	13:56	A pretty, inspired, patient, and increidbly quiet jam (check this out with headphones) which, in addition to melodic, and typically inventive Trey, features wonderful work from Page. Mike and Fish maintain a breezy, airy sort of rhythm as the version steadily gains momentum, the musicians nicely modulating, before Trey trakes over, building the jam to a blistering peak.
1993-07-30	Fluffhead	Antioch, TN	14:43	Little sprinkles of improvisational play throughout this great version, and Page is notably strong. Who Do? We Do! is dynamic and filled with great Fish, leading the team. Mike compliments Page's solo in Clod quite nicely, while Trey and Fish stretch the celebratory victory lap in Arrival out just a bit. There is a cool, gradual fade-out to this version, with Trey switching to acoustic guitar.
1993-08-06	YEM	Cincinnati, OH	15:55	Mike is HOT in this version, despite the short B&D. "Tequila" tease and a -> to "Cocaine" in the jam segment.
1993-08-06	Cocaine	Cincinnati, OH	1:05	-> in from "YEM." A jam on "Cocaine" is sandwiched in "YEM" and precedes the vocal jam. -> back to "YEM."
1993-08-06	YEM	Cincinnati, OH	2:31	-> in from "Cocaine." "YEM" VJ includes "Cocaine" teasing and "Tweezer" lyrics and -> to "Halley's."
1993-08-06	Slave	Cincinnati, OH	8:14	First time played in 241 shows. Serious tension/anticipation building early on in the jam, making the release glorious.
1993-08-13	Llama	Indianapolis, IN	5:57	> in from "Lengthwise." Cool little Mike solo between Page and Trey. Brief exploratory jamming towards end of Trey's solo. Blistering finish.
1993-08-13	Foam	Indianapolis, IN	9:20	-> in from "Makisupa." A fantastic segue. Jam begins with Mike soloing quietly, then Page joins him in a largely delicate duo (with Fish subtly keeping the beat). Trey's solo is similarly restrained. At 7:15, the volume comes back up for a exclamation point finale.
1993-08-13	Stash	Indianapolis, IN	11:08	Very exploratory, but also remarkably musical. Lots of tension, but without so much chaos and dissonance.
1993-08-13	Bowie	Indianapolis, IN	19:18	Long, very musically-oriented intro. Serious improvisation, but unlike many other strong versions, this one is far less dissonant and shrill. Rather, it is very rich musically, including little jams on "The Mango Song" and "Magilla."
1993-08-13	Gin	Indianapolis, IN	15:49	Incredibly improvisational, Must-Hear "Gin," one of the best ever. After 83 mostly straightforward versions, the band in August '93 suddenly seizes upon "Gin's" jamming potential. This wild, racehorse version is fun, wacky, musically coherent, has multiple teases/jams, and segues seemlessly into "Ya Mar."
1993-08-13	Mike's	Indianapolis, IN	12:24	A shredding 1st jam with good variation is followed by yet another improvisational but somewhat wacky 2nd jam. Here the band settles into some quiet, Mike-led play, before thematically rebuilding, with the band's weird chanting/screaming adding to its crazed nature.
1993-08-20	It's Ice	Morrison, CO	8:13	Nice work by Page on this version (released on Live Bait Vol. 6).
1993-08-20	Wedge	Morrison, CO	5:43	Classic version popularized by its official release (Live Bait Vol. 6). Excellent full-band play featuring strong Mike and dynamic modulation. Textbook.
1993-08-20	Antelope	Morrison, CO	15:14	Very improvisational version with several good twists and turns including a jam on "CYHMK."
1993-08-20	Slave	Morrison, CO	9:33	Almost an eerie quiet early in the jam with mostly Page, Mike and Fish gently musing. Gradually Trey brings in the melody, and there is a near linear sequence of intensity building as the chord progression repeats itself.
1993-08-20	SOAMelt	Morrison, CO	11:05	Similar to 8/14/93 in that it's not wildly exploratory for August '93, but it's expertly played with flourishes of improvisation.
1993-08-20	YEM	Morrison, CO	21:04	What I'd call an "average-great" version for the mid-'90s.
1993-12-31	Reba	Worcester, MA	13:17	Phish caps 1993 with a fan favorite. Trey dazzles, his playing incredibly fun and infectious, matched by Fish on his blocks. A festive, celebratory groove ensues, before building to a shredding peak. An exclamation point on a terrific year for "Reba."
1993-12-31	Tweezer	Worcester, MA	12:15	Trey repetitively hits a lot of notes in staccato-fashion in this jam (that Mbird Board and Working Group member Drew Hitz adores, and thinks I'm an idiot for underrating in '94 when I reviewed this version). While definitely an above "average-great" version (it sure ends well!), this jam IMO just isn't competitive with versions I've rated 7/10 and higher in the legacy jam chart. It's listed in this current jam chart in Drew Hitz's honor.
1993-12-31	It's Ice	Worcester, MA	8:50	"Peaches En Regalia" teases and Random Note signal in this version.
1993-12-31	Possum	Worcester, MA	12:30	"Peaches en Regalia" teases, good on-the-spot variation, a great rhythmic breakdown midway, and a fiery ending add up to another top notch '93 "Possum."
1993-12-31	YEM	Worcester, MA	22:04	Sweet theme in the jam.
1993-12-31	DwD	Worcester, MA	3:38	Jam segment only following "Auld Lang Syne" (Released on Live Bait Volume 3).
1993-12-31	Hood	Worcester, MA	13:20	The jam starts with an "Auld Lang Syne" tease and delicate soloing, which builds into a frenzied guitar-led jam.
1994-04-08	SOAMelt	State College, PA	12:15	Nothing recreational here, Trey, exiting the song proper, dominates. After simply spraying the space with impossibly open, yet concentrated sound, play (7:00) momentarily grinds to inform cool, droning, near-thematic improvisation. Not for long. As if broken down to rebuild, Trey whips the band into a frenzy, picking up not just where this version left off, but, rather, where "Melt" jamming had stood, historically, peaking (Aug. 93). Insane, must-hear Trey play.
1994-04-08	It's Ice	State College, PA	5:46	Second set jam vehicle. First ever "Digital Delay Loop" jam is performed, followed by a rocking and extended "It's Ice" jam. Must-hear version.
1994-04-08	Digital Delay Loop Jam	State College, PA	1:37	-> in from "It's Ice." The debut of the "Digital Delay Loop" jam is performed at the beginning of the "Ice" jam. -> back to "It's Ice" for more excellent "Ice"-type jamming.
1994-04-08	It's Ice	State College, PA	7:19	-> in from the debut of the "Digital Delay Loop" jam. A rocking and excellent "Ice" jam follows the "DDL" jam.
1994-04-08	Hood	State College, PA	12:27	Begins with a nice bouncy groove, things settle into quiet, subtle playing, then Trey & Co. build to a textbook finale.
1994-04-08	Bowie	State College, PA	11:19	Like 1993, the band starts 1994 with an uninterrupted string of improvisational "Bowies." This one has a very cool, exploratory jam, but not so jarring and dissonant as most of the '93s.
1994-04-15	Wilson	New York, NY	4:47	First version to have the audience chanting, AUD version also has enthusiastic claps. The band delivers a bombastic performance, surely energized by this new avenue of audience participation.
1994-04-15	CDT	New York, NY	8:12	> from a jam-charted "Wilson." Perhaps still riding the energy of the first-ever audience participation in "Wilson," the band delivers another fiery "CDT." The jam starts with a bit of stop/start action. Page gives the organ a workout before Trey comes barreling in to take over with nifty play at a breakneck tempo.
1994-04-22	Bowie	Columbia, SC	14:39	Incredibly exploratory version. Perhaps not beautiful music, per se, but this is fearless improvisation on display.
1994-04-22	Reba	Columbia, SC	13:29	Trey seems to pick up the notes that he "dropped" during the composed section, sprinkling them throughout an experimental jam that feels jazzy, in large part because of Trey's tone, and band-wide shifts in tempo and intensity. Page's play is particularly pretty, and improvisational flashes abound, including protracted "DEG"-like teasing as the band builds to a strong conclusion.
1994-04-29	YEM	Clearwater, FL	18:12	Crazy, very strange version. (No B&D or VJ.) Nice segue into "FEFY."
1994-04-29	FEFY	Clearwater, FL	6:30	Though not perfect, Trey gets paid by the note in this one, including during its mighty peak and conclusion.
1994-04-29	SOAMelt	Clearwater, FL	10:24	Excellent variation in the playing, including a nice quiet section, dissonance, pounding, and an amusing section with the band members all yelling "Yee Haw!!" No real ending but instead a > to "Sanity."
1994-04-29	Fee	Clearwater, FL	5:45	All band members play a flurry of notes several times before the > to "Uncle Pen."
1994-04-29	Mike's	Clearwater, FL	10:20	A typically fiery, intense '94 1st jam breaks into great rhythmic, medium intensity playing, which mellows into some super melodic Trey-led jamming with hints of "MLB." Collapsing to drums, the jamming returns to "Mike's" proper to conclude.
1994-05-06	My Friend	Houston, TX	6:59	Odd (but appropriate for "My Friend") sort of outro with chanting/singing by Fish and others.
1994-05-06	Stash	Houston, TX	12:23	An excellent exploratory version. It's too bad that the recently discovered recording for this show is not of the same quality as this fine "Stash."
1994-05-06	Maze	Houston, TX	11:01	Page's solo is very unusual, at times sounding like an organ in a cathedral. Trey unleashes the predictably strong fire and brimstone stuff. Great Fish, too.
1994-05-06	Bowie	Houston, TX	13:54	Somewhat weird, but definitely exploratory version. "Tweeprise"-like jam for a bit and other forays.
1994-05-13	It's Ice	Tempe, AZ	10:11	Ferocious jam with some pretty crazy improvisation by the band. All over the place!
1994-05-13	Stash	Tempe, AZ	11:35	High power, intense and pounding jam that is mostly straightforward at first. But then, just when it seems to be finishing, the jam swerves abruptly, becoming a sick, growling and angry monster.
1994-05-13	Slave	Tempe, AZ	9:22	Typical full power '94-style "Slave." Great quieter teaming by Mike and Trey early in the jam. At 5:43 Fish kicks into gear and it's throttle-up time.
1994-05-13	SOAMelt	Tempe, AZ	10:42	Riveting, intense, pounding, a downright ripping version. Mostly "Type I" but so what - this one will kick your ass!
1994-05-13	McGrupp	Tempe, AZ	8:29	Excellent and active full band engagement during Page's section, especially some great interplay with Mike, and Fish on the wood blocks. The already energized nature of the jam builds to an intense conclusion before returning to the closing section.
1994-05-13	YEM	Tempe, AZ	19:30	Strong jam, "Mind Left Body" tease.
1994-05-20	It's Ice	Olympia, WA	9:55	Page and Fish lead the band in a couple of different grooves. An atypically funky jam in parts.
1994-05-20	Gin	Olympia, WA	10:54	Some good thrashing around early, then the jam breaks into a classic "Type I" jam with spirited play and a cool ending.
1994-05-20	Antelope	Olympia, WA	12:06	Weird, experimental jamming with lots of angry dissonance, tempo changes, and a crazy build to the peak. Then at the very end, there is a cool Trey solo with subtle backup from the others.
1994-05-20	YEM	Olympia, WA	20:55	Twisted, odd version. "Ob La Di"...
1994-05-27	Bowie	San Francisco, CA	12:44	Even though most of the jam is technically "Type I," this is an intense, thriller. Don't overlook.
1994-05-27	Hood	San Francisco, CA	12:51	Mike gets into this really great groove starting at about 8:00 that everyone else plays off. Even as Fish, Trey and Page bring the heat, Mike keeps the licks of this groove rolling. And the ending section is just smoking hot.
1994-05-27	Reba	San Francisco, CA	12:44	Sweet jam featuring truly dynamic modulation and really awesome playing from Trey. The sort of version you could listen to all day. (Or at least Four times. Focusing upon each musician, independently.) Trey alights upon a great theme - accented by cool playing from Fish - before the jam swings through a build both measured and melodic to, in time, become explosive.
1994-05-27	Simple	San Francisco, CA	3:48	Crazy debut version, out of "Mike's Song," naturally.
1994-05-27	Possum	San Francisco, CA	11:50	Extended hi-hat intro with the crowd shaking macaroni boxes and "Flintstones Theme" tease. Fish: "Shake your macaroni!"
1994-06-10	Bowie	Morrison, CO	11:15	Typically strong '94 "Bowie" that gets mean, nasty and thrashing as it progresses.
1994-06-10	Tweezer	Morrison, CO	15	A short, but magnificent version, though controversial, as some remain deaf to its majesty.
1994-06-10	Possum	Morrison, CO	10:40	Awesome pump-it-up jam. Excellent musical variation from 3:55 - 4:30, then it's off to the "Possum" party.
1994-06-17	SOAMelt	Milwaukee, WI	11:07	Great version. Not overly improvisational, but the jam gets into a great power rocking groove beyond "SOAM."
1994-06-17	Gin	Milwaukee, WI	9:38	The jam breaks into a different and repetitive groove early on, then returns to "Gin" in a very rocking manner.
1994-06-17	2001	Milwaukee, WI	4:06	OJ, OJ, and more OJ.
1994-06-17	Simple	Milwaukee, WI	3:45	Entertaining version with "OJ" reference, plus they quoted "Simple" quite a bit in the "Hydrogen" (and "Harpua") of this show, too.
1994-06-17	Weekapaug	Milwaukee, WI	6:46	Very uplifting playing from Trey in this hot version from the "OJ Show."
1994-06-24	Reba	Indianapolis, IN	13:45	Great theme out of the composed section, notable for really quiet and wholly unique playing. The band continues to explore and push boundaries, with the jam becoming "primal" and totally out of the ordinary. Very cool.
1994-06-24	Antelope	Indianapolis, IN	19:56	Very improvisational and multi-faceted version with several distinct "Type II" sections, including an uplifting "DwD" jam near the end. Released as filler for Live Phish Vol. 10. A heavyweight among "Antelopes."
1994-07-01	Foam	Philadelphia, PA	9:42	Some great Mike and Trey teaming following a short, near silent jam, with rhythmic, staccato plucking by both. Ferocious ending.
1994-07-01	Stash	Philadelphia, PA	12:28	Two exploratory jam sections here. The second, beginning at about 10:35, is a great little "cool down" section.
1994-07-01	Bowie	Philadelphia, PA	11:45	Great Page on the organ (unusual for "Bowie"), and some crazy screaming from Trey and Fish.
1994-07-01	Possum	Philadelphia, PA	11:02	Gripping, powerful jam with dissonant, off-key playing, serious tension, a "Voodoo Child" tease, and an explosive ending.
1994-07-01	Hood	Philadelphia, PA	13:06	Cool, spacey beginning to the jam, great riffs from Trey, strong Fish, and a powerful finish with solid trilling = Great "Hood."
1994-07-08	Reba	Mansfield, MA	12:27	Great jam featuring "Manteca" teasing and super Trey. After the band disassembles their sound, soaring play is once again restored as Trey whips through a series of nasty licks. Arguably a > into "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav" in lieu of whistling.
1994-07-08	It's Ice	Mansfield, MA	8:59	A little chaotic, but some really great Mike action on this one. > to an excellent "Stash."
1994-07-08	Stash	Mansfield, MA	12:16	This is the version on A Live One. Although the jam doesn't go too far out there, there is a repetitious section beginning at 7m that ratchets-up the tension considerably. The ending section is drawn out, furthering this effect. "This is what I play for any professional musician interested in hearing Phish improv because it is that perfect." --Drew Hitz, professional tubist and Mbird.org Board member.
1994-07-08	YEM	Mansfield, MA	12:54	"YEM" -> "Frankenstein" -> "YEM."
1994-07-08	Frankenstein	Mansfield, MA	4:45	-> in from "YEM." "Frankenstein" is sandwiched in the "YEM" jam.
1994-07-08	YEM	Mansfield, MA	7:09	-> in from "Frankenstein" which is sandwiched in this "YEM." "Frankenstein" tease from Mike in the B&D.
1994-07-15	SOAMelt	Wantagh, NY	12:06	Really cool and different "SOAM" with ghoulish tension and a great section with Page out in front leading the quick tempo, rhythmic and frenzied jamming. At other points, the jamming could be fairly described as demented.
1994-07-15	Bowie	Wantagh, NY	18:26	Dissonant, rhythmic "Type II" jam has a cool "Jessica" jam at 12:45 that comes out of nowhere.
1994-07-15	Reba	Wantagh, NY	12:48	Cool jam with Trey slashing his way into the jam before incorporating some really cool effects. The band modulates intensity, and Trey teases "Theme from Popeye," which the band morphs into full-band playing. A bit of a fake-out into the build produces super experimental playing, but Trey muscles the version to a fiery conclusion.
1994-07-15	It's Ice	Wantagh, NY	9:01	Page dominated in a great way, but with solid work by the rest, especially Fish.
1994-10-07	Reba	Bethlehem, PA	14:25	A rousing composed section incites a huge fan reaction, which bleeds into the jam, notable for an infectious groove - marked by solid Mike - with Trey deliberately building through cool riffing, a rise in sound before a quick dip in intensity finds him augmenting his tone to inform really great play. Cool Page. And on-point Fish. Before the band surges up and through a trilled-out and soaring peak.
1994-10-14	Gin	New Orleans, LA	11:34	A choppy, percussive jam grows quiet, starts to explore some distant territory, then builds intensity as it returns to "Gin."
1994-10-14	Tweezer	New Orleans, LA	13:00	Another warm-up version for what would become the Bangor "Tweezer." Unusually improvisational.
1994-10-14	Ya Mar	New Orleans, LA	6:17	Michael Ray on trumpet and shaker, and Carl Gerhard on trumpet. "Salt Peanuts" tease. Great version.
1994-10-21	Antelope	Sunrise, FL	13:04	Chaotic and crazed version with a number of short but discrete exploratory departures.
1994-10-21	Weekapaug	Sunrise, FL	7:16	High-quality "Type I" action followed by a "CYHMK" jam to close.
1994-10-28	Bowie	Charleston, SC	12:23	Insane, riveting version with a "Bowie" -> "Manteca" -> "Bowie" in the jam segment.
1994-10-28	Manteca	Charleston, SC	0:40	-> in from "DB." Brief "Manteca" jam in the midst of a thrilling "Bowie." -> back to "DB."
1994-10-28	Bowie	Charleston, SC	3:11	-> in from "Manteca." Return to "Bowie" to conclude a riveting Fall '94 version.
1994-11-04	Bowie	Syracuse, NY	15:12	Great tension and dissonance combined with moments of melodic beauty and calm. Like one of the big November '94 "Tweezers" with many movements, and all packed into a 10 minute jam.
1994-11-04	Weekapaug	Syracuse, NY	10:27	A '94-style funky breakdown jam leads to a spirited "CYHMK" jam before returning to "Weekapaug" for a high intensity peak, with a great "CYHMK" ending.
1994-11-18	Bag	East Lansing, MI	8:15	> in from "Rift." This Bag is musically tight, yet slightly structurally different than other type I Bags. There is a litle funky piano breakdown at around 4:00 before blues-Trey rears his head in for some of the more traditional buildup-and-release jamming. At about 6:25, Trey sustains a note, and the Bag takes off before a return to the ending coda and > to Julius.
1994-11-18	SOAMelt	East Lansing, MI	11:33	Great, uptempo playing early on becomes increasingly frenetic and dissonant. Returns with a jarring ending.
1994-11-18	Tweezer	East Lansing, MI	14:26	Fierce, truly inspired version that I grossly underrated in the mid-1990s. I am ashamed of myself.
1994-11-18	Possum	East Lansing, MI	11:42	Blistering and rocking version includes "Bathtub Gin," "Jean Pierre," and "DEG" teases and a blazing peak.
1994-11-18	Runaway Jim	East Lansing, MI	9:05	"Reverend" Jeff Mosier on banjo. Great exploratory version that gets well beyond standard fare.
1994-11-25	Simple	Chicago, IL	14:14	Another phenomenally improvisational version that is also, like 11/16/94, must-hear.
1994-11-25	Weekapaug	Chicago, IL	10:31	A slightly dissonant breakdown jam begins with Page on the clavinet. After settling, the jam grows angry and growly, then explores more ground before ratcheting up in tension and bursting back to "Weekapaug." -> to "The Mango Song."
1994-12-02	Bowie	Davis, CA	22:04	The usual pugnacious, mean-spirited jam until 13:45, when it sounds like it's wrapping up. But then the band delves into more exploration. Throw in the Cosmic Country Horns for the trill section, and you've got yourself another "Big" improvisational version.
1994-12-09	Foam	Mesa, AZ	9:48	Mike and Fish are awesome during Page's strong solo. Then Trey and Mike play a near duet with little touches from Page, and Fish rocks the house for the intense build-up.
1994-12-09	Antelope	Mesa, AZ	14:38	Thrashing, dissonant, innovative and unusual "Antelope" jamming, it's all here, including an excellent "The Force Theme from Star Wars" tease in the jam. "Suck the deer shit from the side of this hole!"
1994-12-09	Tweezer	Mesa, AZ	25:29	A spectular version with "hose" and a "Slave" jam. Just unreal, magnificent Phish. Very jazzy at times as well.
1994-12-30	Tweezer	New York, NY	22:00	Page plays a solo in this unusual version, which like the other Fall 1994 versions of "Tweezer" is must-hear.
1995-06-09	Antelope	Morrison, CO	10:32	Unusual jam. Sort of off-key. Sort of evil. Dissonant and anti-melodic. No real peak; it just fades into "Rocco."
1995-06-09	SOAMelt	Morrison, CO	13:19	Improvisational playing in several sections tests the rhythmic and melodic standards for "SOAM" in this solid version.
1995-06-16	Esther	Raleigh, NC	8:53	The watery sounds produced by Trey's use of the Leslie percoloate throughout this great version. Add fantastic Page and Fish, with his uncharacteristic rim shots, and an unusual and highly engaging concluding Trey solo, and it adds up to a stellar performance.
1995-06-16	It's Ice	Raleigh, NC	9:14	Beautiful piano soloing by Page.
1995-06-16	SOAMelt	Raleigh, NC	14:33	Starts tamely enough, but the tension and exploration improve as the jam progresses, and the ending is nuts.
1995-06-16	Runaway Jim	Raleigh, NC	30:36	Intense, psychedelic and incredibly improvisational version. Has similarities in the final 10 minutes to the Providence "Bowie." Oddly, seems unheralded among the canon of all-time, must-hear jams. -> to "Free."
1995-06-16	YEM	Raleigh, NC	25:06	"Oye Como Va" teases. Boyd from Dave Matthews Band on fiddle for part of the jam.
1995-06-23	Reba	Stanhope, NJ	14:46	"Plinko" play from Trey, periodically offset by strumming, jumpstarts the jam, and works to create incredible syncopation. Predictably great guitar is matched by Mike, with the two musicians not so much dueling, as driving the version through any number of impressive ideas and rhythmic shifts. Great and unpredictable improvisation follows, with all four members contributing in equal measure, as if exacting a singular vision.
1995-06-23	YEM	Stanhope, NJ	24:15	THRILLING jam!
1995-06-23	Runaway Jim	Stanhope, NJ	13:16	Red hot, strong, compact, and unusual second set opener, Fish, direct from the vocals, drives strong and Impassioned play, the four Creating a controlled cacophony (typical fare for the year), with Mike holding some great notes and igniting great patterned play, page Pounding his keys before Trey alights on a riff which rises to break free to inform incendiary soloing. Play gets really cool as the band drives to a false peak and the jam becomes demented, an extended passage of "not at all what's expected,'" before the traditional spirited release -> into "The Lizards."
1995-06-23	Antelope	Stanhope, NJ	13:51	1995's most exploratory, improvisational version. One of the "Antelope" clan which weaves back and forth between familiar ground and improvisation. The jam here gets out into some spacey and eerie Summer '95-style territory.
1995-06-23	Jam	Stanhope, NJ	2:15	John Popper on harmonica. -> in from "Harpua," during which Jimmy decides he hates the band Abba, and needs to listen to some rocking harmonica music, which is precisely what this jam is. -> to "Llama."
1995-06-30	Mike's	Mansfield, MA	17:38	After a quick, typical 1st jam, the 2nd begins in a driving, rhythmic manner. Downshifting a few of times, the rhythmic pulse remains, but the jamming gets increasingly abstract. By 14:00, a spacey envelope has overtaken, and remains in place until a > to "Contact."
1995-06-30	Weekapaug	Mansfield, MA	12:47	Good varied play prior to the funky breakdown section, where Mike and Page again jump out in front, before Trey re-takes the con.
1995-10-06	Tweezer	Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada	15:19	Even more crazy and chaotic of a jam than normal for "Tweezer." Jam reaches a good peak, cools way down, but then climbs and climbs and reaches an excellent peak beore concluding in a mellow way and seguing into Keyboard Army. (there's no return to the normal coda)
1995-10-13	Theme	Fort Worth, TX	12:11	Beautifully played, straightforward version is augmented with a percussive, dissonant ending section. -> to "Wilson."
1995-10-27	Runaway Jim	Kalamazoo, MI	9:07	The recording, while imperfect, does well to capture Trey's signature (95) tone, and Page's strong play. The band creates an excellent passage of sustained "calm", which they deftly rebuild before Trey trills the version to a strong peak.
1995-10-27	Fluffhead	Kalamazoo, MI	14:40	Evoking all the great sounds of 1995, from Trey's Leslie-infused watery guitar effects, to Fish's booming drums, this excellent version captures the timeless nature of "Fluffhead" at this important point in the band's history. No surprise that The Chase and Who Do? We Do! provide a few minor road bumps, but generally the playing is intense and focused. Clod features some great piano soloing, while all four coalesce to hammer home a powerful Arrival.
1995-10-27	Bowie	Kalamazoo, MI	18:17	Fascinating, extraordinarily intense version with some bizarre gibberish vocalized by Trey for a number of measures.
1995-10-27	Simple	Kalamazoo, MI	8:53	Very different jam, rocking at first but with descending and unusual harmony from Page, then becoming very spacey and > to "McGrupp."
1995-11-10	Runaway Jim	Atlanta, GA	8:48	Opening almost as many shows as "CDT", it's impossible to decide upon the best "Jim" opener. Here, however, had song not followed "BATT", we would certainly find a version worthy of consideration. Trey's Leslie-soaked tone drips with color like some fever dream, and Fish's play, as ever, is unparalleled. Amazing play from an amazing show.
1995-11-10	SOAMule	Atlanta, GA	13:02	Vocal/guitar jam by Trey responding to Page. Trey is nuts! Trey vocally joins Page at end of his second solo. Fishman kicks in on drums to bring on the klezmer. More crazy falsetto/baritone singing by Mike.
1995-11-10	YEM	Atlanta, GA	14:22	A jewel. A perfect "YEM" which includes a "Crossroads" jam. -> to "Crossroads."
1995-11-10	Crossroads	Atlanta, GA	2:44	-> in from "YEM." Awesome "Crossroads" jam in the middle of a perfect "YEM." -> back to "YEM."
1995-11-10	YEM	Atlanta, GA	11:44	-> in from "Crossroads" to complete this perfect "YEM."
1995-11-10	Bag	Atlanta, GA	10:14	> in from "Sparkle." With several instances where the jam grinds to a near stop, this is another '95 version that stretches the boundaries of "Bag."
1995-11-10	Hood	Atlanta, GA	17:14	Outstanding version with a great intro. The jam begins with Trey soloing beautifully, and then he is joined quietly by Page and the others. The gradual but deliberate build up and glorious peak evince top level musicianship.
1995-11-24	Reba	Pittsburgh, PA	14:22	> in from "Theme," more tight playing in the composed section gives way to really cool Mike, soon joined by Trey (who runs through a great set of chords), and this colored by incredible, off-beat Fish. Page offers a pretty splash of sound before Trey enters a truly melodic solo, Mike matching him note for note. Awesome and truly attentive full-band play informs great improvisational jamming which concludes in predictably great fashion.
1995-11-24	SOAMule	Pittsburgh, PA	12:44	Typically strong Page solo followed by Trey on vocals and guitar. This one gets crazy as it picks up tempo and pitch. Another Page solo, klezmer, bizarre chanting from Mike, and ending.
1995-11-24	Gin	Pittsburgh, PA	13:05	Improvisational version includes a great breakdown jam led by Fish, Page and Mike with Trey on the mini percussion kit.
1995-12-01	Mike's	Hershey, PA	20:16	A driving and furied 1st jam leads off. The 2nd begins with a somewhat dark sentiment, buffeted by an intense rhythmic sense. The jam then quiets briefly, before regaining its propulsive high energy nature. At 15:00, Page takes the lead, adding '95-style funk, while Trey opts for the mini kit. At the end, Trey returns to guitar to lead a clean -> to "Weekapaug," the first ever "Mike's"/"Weekapaug" pairing.
1995-12-01	Weekapaug	Hershey, PA	8:28	-> from "Mike's Song" (1st time ever), and played in a different key than normal. Despite some issues with the key change, the jam contains a beautiful, melodic theme.
1995-12-08	Tweezer	Cleveland, OH	17:38	"KUNG" sandwich. This version is "type II" in large part and just wild and crazy.
1995-12-08	Kung	Cleveland, OH	4:16	-> in from "Tweezer." "Kung" is sandwiched in the "Tweezer" jam.
1995-12-08	Tweezer	Cleveland, OH	4:09	-> in from "Kung" to complete this strong "Tweezer."
1995-12-08	Antelope	Cleveland, OH	12:00	Rhythmic-oriented jam that is ripe with great tension and dissonance.
1995-12-15	It's Ice	Philadelphia, PA	8:49	Very spacey jam segues into a creepy, Fish-driven groove with unintelligble, bizarre vocalizations from someone (?), as Page teases the "Pink Panther" theme a few times. "Odd" doesn't even begin to describe this.
1995-12-15	Gin	Philadelphia, PA	11:38	A very good "Type I" jam breaks into some percussive, deep exploration at 8:30 and then -> to "Rotation Jam" (one of only 4 such performances during which the band members all switch instruments but continue playing).
1995-12-15	Bowie	Philadelphia, PA	14:10	Jam almost immediately breaks into an unusual groove. Not way out there, but uniquely excellent.
1995-12-29	Stash	Worcester, MA	17:58	Very improvisational considering this version largely stays in bounds. Like many versions from '95, the band stretches the duration, creating a psychological thriller, but the music is less exploratory than '93 - '94. Not a good trend for "Stash."
1995-12-29	Fluffhead	Worcester, MA	14:26	Fish is the superhero in this exceptional version. A great Fluff's Travels gets the ball rolling, while safe passage through the Siren-like perils of The Chase leads to a great Who Do? We Do! It's during this section that Fish really cranks up the intensity of his highly precise rhythmic base. From the swift, complimentary snare drums in Bundle of Joy, to the cannon-like power drumming in Arrival, this is a great example of the drummer's talent and importance in holding this complex composition together.
1995-12-29	Gin	Worcester, MA	11:06	"Gin" -> "The Real Me" -> "Gin." Fantastic, inspired and rocking version. The "Gin" sections that bookend the Who classic are improvisational fare, but all fit together seamlessly into one flowing jam. -> to "McGrupp."
1995-12-29	The Real Me	Worcester, MA	9:08	-> in from "Bathtub Gin." Following their 1995 Halloween costume, the band surprisingly revisits this Who classic in the middle of a fantastic, rocking and "Type II" Gin. "The Real Me" includes more exploratory jamming than its debut 3 months prior. -> back to "Gin."
1995-12-29	Gin	Worcester, MA	3:46	-> in from "The Real Me" with more great improvisation before returning to the "Gin" theme to conclude and -> to "McGrupp."
1995-12-29	McGrupp	Worcester, MA	9:04	-> in from the historic "Real Gin." "McGrupp" features an airy opening, replete with Trey's signature '95-style, Leslie-infused shimmering tone. Wonderful playing throughout. Page breaks for a dark calm, marked not so much by eeriness, but a general psychedelia, enhanced by an exotic, Eastern sentiment, combined with nice restraint by Trey. Great fills from Fish lead to a powerful conclusion.
1995-12-29	Jam	Worcester, MA	8:45	> in from "BBFCFM." An excellent bass duet jam with Mike and his instructor, Jim Stinnett. The duet includes teases of "Keep It Greasy" and Bach's "6th Brandenburg Concerto" (aka the "Masterpiece Theater Theme"), and -> to "La Grange."
1996-04-26	CTB	New Orleans, LA	4:57	Jazz Festival version with Michael Ray rocking the trumpet.
1996-04-26	YEM	New Orleans, LA	16:44	"YEM" jam -> to an a capella "Wolfman's Bother" for the vocal jam.
1996-04-26	Wolfman's	New Orleans, LA	3:52	-> in from "YEM." 2 verses of "Wolfman's" sung a capella, serving as the "YEM" vocal jam, before going electric to finish this straightforward version.
1996-04-26	Hood	New Orleans, LA	12:34	Good accented notes and riffs from Trey, but a well orchestrated build up is the strong point. Great Fish in the peak, too.
1996-04-26	Bowie	New Orleans, LA	13:56	Great tension-filled version that gets out there with a jam based on "Caravan" by Duke Ellington.
1996-07-12	Jam	Amsterdam, Netherlands	0:47	An interactive jam in which the band plays chords yelled out by the audience to a ska groove.
1996-07-12	NICU	Amsterdam, Netherlands	6:10	Unfinished? Maybe. Or, -> from "Jam" and -> an unfinished "Slave," simply part of a crazy point in history where a clearly 'distracted' band works through the song as best as they are able before creating a bouncy, Page-crazy, chord-laden (Trey) version marked by wide open space; strange changes; eerie 'underwater' overtones; sparse - yet pointed - Fish; and groovy Mike. Must hear, and more than once.
1996-07-12	Suzy	Amsterdam, Netherlands	5:47	Caps the second set of one of Phish's most maligned (misunderstood?) shows. Accounts suggest the band, following an unfinished "Suzy" (every song in the set is either unfinished, or has missing lyrics), leaves Fish onstage to maintain a "slow, hypnotic, beat." Maybe so / Maybe not. (Seems like Fish sat on-stage between sets One and Two.) Regardless, an unusual beat begins near the 2:00 mark, after which Trey lays way back, Page moves front and center, and a strange, atypical jam ensues before the band "breaks" for Set Three.
1996-08-02	Possum	Park City, UT	11:21	Good melodic variation by Trey, some great tension building, and a nice peak make for a good "Possum."
1996-08-16	Esther	Plattsburgh, NY	9:08	Classic "Clifford Ball" version featuring a totally relaxed vibe, glittering Page, and one of Trey's most memorable "Esther" solos.
1996-08-16	Mike's	Plattsburgh, NY	16:00	The longish (to 9:00) 1st jam is crisp and well played, but covers pretty familiar territory. However the 2nd jam breaks into solid and intense rocking action, with all four band mates contributing in good measure.
1996-08-16	Weekapaug	Plattsburgh, NY	9:43	A soaring and impeccably played straightforward jam is followed by a cool Page-led funky outro jam while Trey addresses the Clifford Ball crowd.
1996-08-16	DwD	Plattsburgh, NY	15:34	Although largely "Type I,", this very popular, well-played version strays from the ranch towards the end with a -> to "NICU."
1996-08-16	Hood	Plattsburgh, NY	13:39	Enchanting solo from Trey leads the band in a patient, beautiful build-up to a mighty peak that segues (literally) into fireworks.
1996-08-16	Jam	Plattsburgh, NY	3:21	-> in from "Hood." A cacophony of noisy jamming follows "Harry" to accompany fireworks, concluding the Clifford Ball Day I.
1996-10-18	Maze	Pittsburgh, PA	11:57	Words do not adequately describe how demented, sick, insane, twisted, tension-filled, and incredibly dissonant this version is. It's a fantastic masterpiece! Go hear it Now! (get the sbd download from the SPAC FTA release on the "spreadsheet").
1996-10-18	YEM	Pittsburgh, PA	20:48	Teases of Peter Frampton's 'Do You Feel Like We Do' during an elongated jam segment with a soaring peak.
1996-10-18	Reba	Pittsburgh, PA	14:10	Fall 1996 is notable for any number of reasons, not the least of which is the treatment "Reba" receives. Here is a case in point, with the band exiting the composed section to work through a terrific passage of extended, improvisational calm. Of course Trey is great, but Page's playing is particularly on-point, his work on the baby grand inspired and assured, through a conclusion both frenetic and wholly controlled.
1996-11-08	Reba	Champaign, IL	13:34	Trouble in the composed section is quickly forgotten when the band begins the jam in atypical fashion, with incredibly cool playing from Fish offset by uncharacteristic - for the era - effects. Really cool. Stop / start playing becomes more direct, before Trey modifies his tone and the jam passes through a highly improvisational passage, notable for more marked syncopation. A false peak works to set up a fist-pumping relase.
1996-11-08	Maze	Champaign, IL	11:46	> in from "2001." Mean, nasty guitar licks from Trey before the whole band ratchets up the intensity into a cataclysmic inferno of percussive violence and gut-ripping tension.
1996-11-08	Simple	Champaign, IL	18:09	Following the conventional "Simple" outro, another Page-led jam develops with Trey on the mini percussion kit. Then Trey takes over, leading a fiery guitar-based jam.
1996-11-15	Mike's	St. Louis, MO	13:12	After a relatively brief (for this period) 1st jam, the 2nd begins with some early funk-infused playing. Around 8:20, the sentiment shifts to rocking, upbeat hose jamming, similar to several of the great "Simple" jams from Fall '96. An excellent rock-the-house jam.
1996-11-22	Caspian	Spokane, WA	9:15	> in from "DwD." After some nice melodic work from Trey, the jam hits on a riff and theme common in '96 versions. Beautiful, extended breakdown section follows prior to closing chords and > to "Maze."
1996-11-22	Slave	Spokane, WA	10:32	After some solid but typical early play, Trey shifts to strumming chords in the middle section, nicely giving space to Mike. Page shines while jumping from piano to the B-3 as the power cranks up, and all four are in sync as they push the jam to a full power peak.
1996-11-29	Maze	Daly City, CA	12:26	There is a really powerful psychedelic aspect to these '96 versions, and this one is a fine example.
1996-11-29	Simple	Daly City, CA	13:38	No mini percussion kit here. Instead, Trey hits on a theme that the band jumps on and rocks. Wonderful version, remarkably different from most. -> to "Sparks."
1996-11-29	YEM	Daly City, CA	27:38	Long jam segment; Trey broke a string.
1996-12-06	2001	Las Vegas, NV	10:25	Smooth Trey in the first jam gives way to staccato-filled second jam. Unique version. Blast off into "Llama".
1996-12-06	YEM	Las Vegas, NV	25:59	Great B&D!! VJ based on donuts.
1996-12-06	Julius	Las Vegas, NV	9:10	Nice bluesy swing in this version, patiently played out before the rousing finale.
1996-12-06	Simple	Las Vegas, NV	18:31	A must-hear version for "Simple" fans, and part of a huge "Mike's Groove." A stretched-out but conventional version until after ~11:40 where the jam soars into a pulsing, upbeat groove that mostly (but gloriously) stays within the "Simple" harmonic structure.
1996-12-06	Hood	Las Vegas, NV	15:40	Top notch "Hood" follows a stellar "Simple" as the "meat" of a fantastic "Mike's Groove." The jamming highlights include cool percussion in the intro, super Page, lots of syncopation, great power rocking, and a terrific peak.
1996-12-06	Weekapaug	Las Vegas, NV	10:33	Fantastic and fun jam begins with some early sounds of funk followed by a Page-led piano section. Next, Trey leads a couple of full-band stops, then the jam simmers down with a heavier dose of funk before exploding into a classic '96 peak.
1996-12-06	Suzy	Las Vegas, NV	9:17	Guest artists include Les Claypool, Larry LaLonde, Courtney Gains, the Yodeling Cowgirls, and several Elvis impersonators. One of the Elvis impersonators leads a "Susie Q" jam at the end of "Suzy."
1997-02-21	DwD	Florence, Italy	16:05	Nice melodic departure from the standard that grows increasingly funky as it progresses. Great Page B-3 action.
1997-02-21	YEM	Florence, Italy	18:43	Finally played in Firenze, a feisty, typically strong "YEM" strengthens after the 10:00 mark to become outrageous. Similar to the Holiday Run's "Izabella," Trey outright attacks, and then goes off, as if goading the others to keep up. Play "cools" through a righteous "Bass and Drums" section.
1997-02-21	Wilson	Florence, Italy	4:38	The heaviest of all the Heavy Metal style Wilsons comes bursting -> out of a gnarly unfinished "Antelope" jam with a transformed thrashing arrangement and properly gutural vocals from Trey.
1997-06-13	LxL	Dublin, Ireland	9:09	Debut. Band sounds a little shaky trying to get this new song right, especially Fish with the complex rhythm.
1997-06-13	Vultures	Dublin, Ireland	6:39	Played twice during "Bradstock" (6/6/97), "Vultures" properly debuts in Dublin, a month before the band's historic 1997 summer tour. While the song will be reworked over the coming years, its essential elements are place, namely super intra-band improvisation, working within the "context" of the song's form, framed, in large part, by incredible percussion and rhythmic variation.
1997-06-13	CDT	Dublin, Ireland	9:20	Jam breaks into a nice funky-but-rockin' groove. Unfinished with -> to "Ghost."
1997-06-13	Ghost	Dublin, Ireland	8:22	Cursory initial inspection of form and function...healthy purr from the motor...let's rev this thing up. [Debut.]
1997-06-20	Jam	Prague, Czech Republic	5:16	> in from "Taste." A weird, funky jazz-like jam which -> to "Cities."
1997-06-20	Twist	Prague, Czech Republic	13:18	A straightforward, but funkified jam breaks around 8:00 into a low key, funky jam that at times sounds similar to Santana's "Oye Como Va" before returning to "Twist." The "Oye Como Va" connection would solidify with time.
1997-07-11	Wolfman's	Escalarre, Spain	15:09	Extended funk section which continues until 12:00 when the jam loosens into rocking mode and > to "Johnny B. Goode."
1997-07-25	Wolfman's	Dallas, TX	15:09	Lots of good funk, then the jam starts to uncork, but cycles back to more funk. Around 11:00, the jam breaks out into some great "C&P"-like jamming before settling and > to "Maze."
1997-07-25	Maze	Dallas, TX	12:24	> in from "Wolfman's Brother." Frenzied chaos run amuck.
1997-07-25	Gin	Dallas, TX	21:48	A classic "Type I" jam drops into funk mode for a good 6 minutes before returning to the "Gin" theme. -> to "Makisupa."
1997-07-25	Makisupa	Dallas, TX	8:39	A strong jam emerges beginning at 6:20. It's bluesy at first and then moves to a gentle, down-tempo rock jam, typical of '97 Phish, beginning around 7:27. Nice -> "AC/DC Bag."
1997-07-25	Bag	Dallas, TX	11:16	-> in from "Makisupa." Similar to 8/13/96. Intense, stretched-out version where the band just keeps it going and going.
1997-07-25	CDT	Dallas, TX	15:48	Bob Gullotti on second drum set. The band really stretches this version out, then at about 9:45, the jam mellows into a rhythmic and bluesy groove that eventually hints back at "CDT" before -> to "Taste."
1997-07-25	Taste	Dallas, TX	10:59	Joined by the late, great Bob Gullotti, this unique rendering (unsurprisingly) finds a percussive, pulsating groove, but just as the jam is about to peak with the traditional late-'90s "Taste" outro, it instead segues seamlessly into -> "Ya Mar."
1997-07-25	Ya Mar	Dallas, TX	9:56	Bob Gullotti on second drum set. -> in from "Taste." Big two-way drum solo. -> to "Ghost."
1997-08-08	Gumbo	Tinley Park, IL	15:29	Not a funk fest like most '97 "Gumbos." Trey-led soloing over a funky groove leads to a more rock and roll jam with a repetitive riff from Trey.
1997-08-08	It's Ice	Tinley Park, IL	10:27	Weird, spacey, Trey-Mike-led jam.
1997-08-08	Wolfman's	Tinley Park, IL	16:17	Multifaceted jam that works through several funk sections, quickly lets loose to rock mode, then returns to more funk and more rocking before -> to "Free."
1997-08-08	Free	Tinley Park, IL	9:25	Great -> in from a very solid "Wolfman's Brother." The jam while similar to the post '95 - '96 jam is its own beast; very cool.
1997-08-08	LxL	Tinley Park, IL	11:08	In addition to (typically '97) adept playing, this version also has a cool build to the big peak, starting at about 7:40.
1997-08-08	CDT	Tinley Park, IL	10:20	Raging version that keeps rising from one peak to the next.
1997-11-14	Gumbo	West Valley City, UT	11:04	Quickly breaks down into a Mike-led "cow funk" jam, that eventually dissipates into quiet ambiance and delay loops. Welcome to Fall '97.
1997-11-14	2001	West Valley City, UT	12:26	"FEFY" dissolves into a gorgeous intro. "C&P"-like second jam features one of the coolest Mike basslines of any version.
1997-11-14	Wolfman's	West Valley City, UT	14:25	The post-funk release is not your typical "feel good" rocking crescendo, but a quiet transition into minor mode darkness before subtly switching to major mode and -> to "Piper."
1997-11-14	Twist	West Valley City, UT	15:58	> in from "Piper." The jam starts off typically, but soon morphs into a swirling and dissonant beast. An extended Trey solo follows this section and > to an epic "Slave To The Traffic Light."
1997-11-14	Slave	West Valley City, UT	14:54	Epic, long version that works very well. Impeccably well-played. Here, the journey, rather than the ending, is what really counts (although the ending is pretty spectacular, too).
1997-11-21	Emotional Rescue	Hampton, VA	16:58	A dark and stormy groove with Fall '97's unique sound. Funk is the predominant style initially but the jam becomes more ambient and throbbing towards the end and taps into that same enveloping power found in the next night's "Halley's" jam.
1997-11-21	Caspian	Hampton, VA	9:59	Jam is well played but typical - then there is a long digital delay loop fade out instead of the usual closing chords.
1997-11-21	Bag	Hampton, VA	25:42	> in from "Ghost." The band dexterously weaves together layers of hard rock, funk, and delicate, ambient space almost imperceptibly, as the transitions are so fluid. Difficult to break into easily defined sections or movements, it's more like a dynamically evolving life form. -> to "Slave To The Traffic Light." Simply must-hear.
1997-11-21	Slave	Hampton, VA	12:30	-> in from a monster "Bag." '94 and '97: Great years for Phish and for "Slave." But the styles (for both) are very different. This "Slave," like many '97s, has a feeling of gradual building, rather than skyrocketing from valley to peak.
1997-11-28	YEM	Worcester, MA	23:59	Explosively funky, and extensive C&P teasing! (No B&D, no VJ.)
1997-11-28	BEK	Worcester, MA	9:40	The little brother of 11/23/97. Funky beginning and a great, extended peak.
1997-11-28	Timber Ho	Worcester, MA	12:47	Although it sticks with the "Timber" theme throughout, this is an excellent, well-played version. High quality SBD available on the "Spreadsheet."
1997-11-28	LxL	Worcester, MA	12:18	Like driving across a mountain range, this version takes you over the first peak, you drop down a bit, then back up again, and again up over the very top, before finally heading down for good on the other side.
1997-11-28	Slave	Worcester, MA	12:32	Somewhat unusual mid second set placement, before a serious "Ghost." This one and 8/9/97 have a bit more of the traditional "Slave" dynamic, with a serious peak, rather than a gradual swelling like other '97s.
1997-11-28	Ghost	Worcester, MA	18:39	Raucous techno-funk with breakdown jam. [Strong funk through 9:45 when this one uncorks, quiets down to some cool low-key play, then rebuilds to a captivating and explosive finale and -> to "Johnny B. Goode."]
1997-12-05	Runaway Jim	Cleveland, OH	14:02	Fantastic, very improvisational jam that is quite different than most including beautiful quieter parts. -> into "My Friend."
1997-12-05	LxL	Cleveland, OH	10:45	The '97 "Limbs" were a great vintage, and this version is another excellent bottle well worth opening.
1997-12-05	Julius	Cleveland, OH	17:04	At about 7:30, departs from standard "Julius" into several new directions. Returns to the song several times, only to venture out again, further into new territory, including funk and reggae modes. Perhaps fitting that the only, truly exploratory "Julius" transitions to the only, truly exploratory "Slave."
1997-12-05	Slave	Cleveland, OH	16:42	The "Type II" version. The band breaks into a dissonant, spacey jam following the standard one that eventually > to "The Lizards." "Slave" purists may not care for this one, but cannot deny its improvisational aspect.
1997-12-05	Loving Cup	Cleveland, OH	8:03	Would be interesting to know how many calories Trey burned while shredding the hell out of this one.
1997-12-12	Taste	Albany, NY	11:11	The Chairman of the Boards leads the way, but Big Red is no slouch either.
1997-12-12	Tweezer	Albany, NY	15:46	Another stellar fall 1997 version.
1997-12-12	Saw It Again	Albany, NY	11:54	"Saw It Again" rocks along in full power mode for a good 5 1/2 minutes before mellowing into '97-style ambient space and -> to a high quality "Piper."
1997-12-12	Piper	Albany, NY	18:57	-> in from "Saw It Again." Very improvisational version that modulates back and forth between hard rocking bursts and quiet, pensive moments. Includes a "BOAF" tease and beautiful space before > into "Swept Away."
1997-12-12	Caspian	Albany, NY	10:07	-> in from "Swept Away > Steep." Straightforward until 10:07, when the band launches into a post closing chord, rocking, funky, and cerebral "Jam." Great Fall '97 improvisation here with a -> to "Izabella."
1997-12-12	Jam	Albany, NY	8:17	-> in from "Prince Caspian." A rocking, funky and cerebral jam emerges at the conclusion of "Caspian." Great Fall '97 jamming with similarities to "Llama." -> to "Izabella."
1998-04-03	Mike's	Uniondale, NY	13:47	Show opening "Mike's" has a funky, well played 1st jam with little touches of ambient sound. The 2nd jam kicks off with a dark and powerful tone that gradually mellows into quiet musing which warms in sentiment and -> "The Old Home Place."
1998-04-03	Weekapaug	Uniondale, NY	16:26	Arguably the funkiest "Weekapaug" ever, this one is essentially "Weekapaug -> Funk Jam -> Weekapaug." Teases of the song that would become "Mozambique," "C&P" (sung, not played!), "Nellie Kane," and "Brazil" are just gravy in this extraordinarily improvisational version of the Phish classic.
1998-04-03	Roses	Uniondale, NY	27:19	An incredible jam emerges out of "Roses" proper, opening Set II in a historic and highly regarded show. The improvisational jam combines dark sentiments, ambient sounds, major mode playing, and groove-based action. Must-hear version which > to a strong "Piper."
1998-04-03	Piper	Uniondale, NY	16:14	After a gorgeous building intro, this version is somewhat unique in that the jam follows the ending coda that was common in early versions of "Piper." The jam itself is restrained and contemplative, based somewhat on the ending coda.
1998-04-03	Loving Cup	Uniondale, NY	6:54	> in from "Piper." Sort of the icing in the cake which brings the incredible "Roses Are Free" > "Piper" jam to an upbeat and celebratory close, before launching into the comic "naked guy" madness which happens in the ensuing "Antelope."
1998-04-03	Antelope	Uniondale, NY	14:16	Fish says, "If you're gonna run up on the stage, just don't let Carini get you" in the intro. This prompts hilarious "Carini's gonna get you" harmonizing throughout the song. Intense straightforward version with Funky Mike in the "Rocco" section.
1998-07-10	Halley's	Barcelona, Spain	18:00	One of the earlier examples of the groove-based jamming that would blossom in '99 and '00. Mike takes the lead and Trey and Page gradually build off this, including a nice "First Tube" tease. The jam winds down in ambient '98 space.
1998-07-10	Simple	Barcelona, Spain	24:11	Fairly straightforward "Simple" jam becomes spacey for a stretch, then takes off into stratospheric, rocking and guitar-driven improvisation.
1998-07-17	Ya Mar	George, WA	12:49	> in from "Makisupa." Nice, easy going summer outro jam follows typical "Ya Mar" jam. Followed by a big "Gumbo."
1998-07-17	Gumbo	George, WA	11:44	Slow funk groove with "Manteca" teases. Last few minutes is funky Trey solo and it finishes off with one slow chord.
1998-07-17	Divided	George, WA	17:11	On the heels of a show opening "Makisupa" and chart versions of "Ya Mar" and "Gumbo," and notwithstanding 8/2/97, this is The Epic Gorge Sunset Version. Just wish KS would release the sbd of this whole excellent show (also with a stellar "2001" and "Mike's Groove" in Set II)! [This petition has been answered as of 2022's The Gorge '98 release.]
1998-07-17	2001	George, WA	24:13	Longest "2001" ever, the first jam is longer than some entire versions of "2001". Second jam is as gorgeous and fiery as the scenery where it was created.
1998-07-17	Mike's	George, WA	18:38	Some might characterize the heavy duty, groove-based 1st jam which continues to 10:55 as repetitive and dull. Regardless, the 2nd jam is so different, melodic, and inspired that bopping along to a sludge-like groove for a bit is well worth it for the ambient hose-down payoff that follows.
1998-07-17	Weekapaug	George, WA	13:23	An exhilarating version highlighted by filthy funk, a nice "Taste" tease, and a chunky blues-rock groove to close, unfinished.
1998-07-24	Runaway Jim	The Woodlands, TX	14:45	Around 8:00, the jam shifts into a really great upbeat and somewhat funky groove that eventually returns to "Jim."
1998-07-24	Loving Cup	The Woodlands, TX	8:12	Another barnburning, first-set-closing version.
1998-07-24	Wolfman's	The Woodlands, TX	22:48	Excellent, powerful version. The extended funk section includes some "Manteca"-like jamming. After a brief settle around 13:40, the jam breaks into a super, power-hose groove that rocks for several minutes before yielding to ambient space and a > to "2001."
1998-07-31	Ya Mar	Columbus, OH	11:25	Pretty straightforward, but a nice, stretched-out, rhythmic jam with a cool closing.
1998-07-31	Roggae	Columbus, OH	8:34	More relaxed and cerebral than the version from Prague, this style for the jam section would become typical for most versions through late '00.
1998-07-31	Cities	Columbus, OH	15:17	Outstanding, R&B-esque, and quite melodic jam emerges from "Cities" proper that gets more and more rocking before cycling down. This is what the "HOSE" is all about.
1998-07-31	Free	Columbus, OH	9:53	Sweet, funky, almost bluesy groove. A great version.
1998-08-07	Mike's	Raleigh, NC	13:53	Although the single jam segment follows a fairly standard structure, this version is a great example of Trey taking the lead and directing the jam, with strong backing from Page. With swirling and shredding guitar play, the energy ebbs and flows, before culminating in a final ecstatic peak which hits the transitional D, E, and F# chords and > to "Simple."
1998-10-30	Antelope	Las Vegas, NV	16:48	A minute of exploratory action (6:20 - 7:20) in a jam that otherwise is straightforward. But following "Rocco" there several minutes of eerie and spacey effects and chanting by Trey before the final closing.
1998-10-30	Stash	Las Vegas, NV	7:16	Straightforward "Stash" begins Set II (rare Set II placement for "Stash") and has a superb -> to "Manteca," the first of 3 consecutive segues (->) in this set.
1998-10-30	Manteca	Las Vegas, NV	3:26	-> in from "Stash." Extended "Manteca" with an ambient feel rocks along and -> to "Tweezer."
1998-10-30	Tweezer	Las Vegas, NV	16:50	Siiiiiiick Trey soloing! "Manteca" and "You Better Believe It Baby" teases.
1998-10-30	NICU	Las Vegas, NV	5:37	-> in from "Tweezer." Straightforward "NICU" completes a string of great segues (->), comes to an end and > to a classic '98 ambient "Jam."
1998-10-30	Jam	Las Vegas, NV	4:07	> in from "NICU." One of a number of great '98 ambient jams, this one emerges from "NICU" and > to "Prince Caspian."
1998-11-06	SOAMelt	Madison, WI	14:34	Great straightforward '98-style funk groove, and apparently one of Mike's favorites from Fall '98.
1998-11-06	Simple	Madison, WI	13:03	And... another gorgeous jam that eventually dissolves into serene space.
1998-11-06	Caspian	Madison, WI	10:56	-> in from "Simple." At about 8:10 the jam downshifts from typical '98 full power "Caspian" mode to a more sedate and pensive one before a nice transition to "Fluffhead."
1998-11-13	Wolfman's	Cleveland, OH	9:22	"Wolfman's" -> "MLB Jam" -> "Wolfman's." "MLB" from 9:22 - about 11:52. Returns to "Wolfman's" with "Manteca"-like jamming then ends.
1998-11-13	Mind Left Body Jam	Cleveland, OH	2:30	-> in from "WB." Cool jam for a for a couple of minutes in the middle of "Wolfman's."
1998-11-13	Wolfman's	Cleveland, OH	1:10	-> in from "MLB Jam." Brief return to "Wolfman's" with "Manteca"-like jamming to conclude.
1998-11-13	DwD	Cleveland, OH	17:55	A hard rocking straightforward jam finally breaks into a great upbeat and swinging groove which works back to "DwD."
1998-11-13	BOAF	Cleveland, OH	9:50	Stretching the boundaries of "Type I" jamming, this version is dark and ominous.
1998-11-13	Meat	Cleveland, OH	10:48	A really nice, low intensity jam emerges on the back end of "Meat" proper, and continues until > to "Hood."
1998-11-20	Gin	Hampton, VA	14:06	"Type I" intense jam that builds to a serious peak with great interplay by all four. Cycles down with no closing. > to "Piper."
1998-11-27	Ya Mar	Worcester, MA	10:34	"I Dream Of Jeannie" theme tease in a well-played version that briefly breaks away into a new groove near the ending.
1998-11-27	Reba	Worcester, MA	15:46	Staccato Trey, groovy, multi-keyboard Page, a little "Manteca"-like jamming from 8:55 - 9:25, and even some "Fly Famous Mockingbird"-like riffing from 10:30 - 11:10 provide solid content. Adding Trey's blistering, rapid-fire playing at the peak easily put this solid '98 on the chart.
1998-11-27	Vultures	Worcester, MA	10:28	Rearranged and redefined (see History), the band offers another strong version, at home in another strong first set. The band breaks again for more ambient play, moored by some serious Trey sustain which fades to cool into a swirling ambient pool. After passing through a passage of concerted "noise", Fish drives the band to a rocking conclusion.
1998-11-27	BOAF	Worcester, MA	8:36	An excellent straightforward version. Trey sounds like he's on a mission.
1998-11-27	CDT	Worcester, MA	3:33	Great segue-oriented "CDT" launches and also includes multiple "Wipeout" teases.
1998-11-27	Mirror in the Bathroom	Worcester, MA	0:58	-> in from "CDT." Brief jam on this English Beat tune before -> back to "CDT."
1998-11-27	CDT	Worcester, MA	4:10	-> in from "Mirror In The Bathroom." The heart of the "CDT" jamming is in this section.
1998-11-27	Dog Log	Worcester, MA	1:53	-> in from "CDT." A bluesy rendering of "Dog Log" -> back to "CDT."
1998-11-27	CDT	Worcester, MA	0:53	-> in from "Dog Log." And back to "CDT" to wrap up this smoking hot version. > to "Sanity" for a nice cool down.
1998-11-27	Buffalo Bill	Worcester, MA	3:33	Short, low-key fade out jam tagged onto the end, which -> to "Mike's."
1998-11-27	Hydrogen	Worcester, MA	6:49	Fish begins the "H2" beat -> out of the post-"Mike's" fog, but the other members continue with a lengthy ambient intro before launching into the song fully, and then > to an epic "Weekapaug".
1998-11-27	Weekapaug	Worcester, MA	7:52	Stellar version begins with energetic "Type I" jamming and some excellent funk work before a -> to "Wipe Out."
1998-11-27	Wipe Out	Worcester, MA	1:38	-> in from a stellar "Weekapaug." "Wipe Out" makes its 2nd of three appearances in a thematic set, released on Live Phish Vol. 6. -> back to "Weekapaug."
1998-11-27	Weekapaug	Worcester, MA	1:29	-> from "Wipe Out" for a fast-paced finish to the conventional section of "Weekapaug."
1998-11-27	Weekapaug	Worcester, MA	9:06	> in from "Weekapaug." This "Weekapaug Reprise" starts out as a frenetic but typical jam, but quickly goes "Type II," relying heavily on effects to create a spacey groove. > "Antelope."
1999-07-09	Mike's	Columbia, MD	17:28	Awesome, improvisational version which proves that "Mike's" doesn't have to have 2 jams to kick ass. Immediately breaking into a lilting, un-"Mike's"-like groove, the jam settles down, gets punchy, settles again, all with a sense that tension is loading. The release begins at 13:30, and by 14:30, a melodic hose-storm is unleashed, repleat with "Sweet Emotion" vocal quotes and jamming.
1999-07-16	Mike's	Holmdel, NJ	12:20	A solid, mellow groove jam, with a fair amount of "Manteca"-like melodic playing from Trey. The energy level gradually builds, but the jam is generally pretty even sloped. Although there is a brief 2nd jam, it's little more than a quiet transition to "Hydrogen."
1999-07-16	Weekapaug	Holmdel, NJ	10:36	A nice funky breakdown groove with strong Mike and Page concludes with Trey teasing "2001" several times before returning to "Weekapaug" to wrap up.
1999-07-23	Ya Mar	Columbus, OH	11:22	Fairly ordinary, but much more spirited and up-tempo than 7/4/99, until the ending gets a little spacey.
1999-07-23	Ghost	Columbus, OH	16:48	Relentless molten neon electro rockslide that comes to rest in a glistening mountain lake. [Fish and Mike lead a fantastic, uptempo groove, and as Trey pours it on, you can literally hear the audience get whipped into a frenzy, then soothed with a great outro.]
1999-07-23	BOAF	Columbus, OH	25:23	An upbeat and snappy groove develops beyond "BOAF", which then bounces between spacey and pumped-up forays. The band was apparently playing along to a wild thunder and lightning storm occurring at the time.
1999-07-30	Funky Bitch	Niigata, Japan	8:14	Straightforward rockin' version morphs into type II spacey haze that segues into -> Ghost.
1999-07-30	Ghost	Niigata, Japan	22:10	A twilight stroll from the fields of heaven through the garden of infinite pleasantries that culminates in the discovery of the noisy generator powering the lanterns in the garden. [Fish is noticeably strong in a tight "Ghost" jam, which then breaks into a great Page-led groove, mellows to sublime ambient space, and rebuilds to a dark, fiery ending.]
1999-09-10	Fee	George, WA	7:45	Similar to the typical harmonics-laced outro, but Fish is more active and Trey's playing is also atypical.
1999-09-10	Jibboo	George, WA	8:02	Phish debut.
1999-09-17	Piper	Mountain View, CA	15:27	The typically high energy "Piper" jam settles down after 12:00 into a low key, blues-tinged exploration, with quiet, looping space bombs from Trey, and great Mike/Page grooving.
1999-09-17	YEM	Mountain View, CA	21:53	"YEM" jam with PHIL LESH! (No B&D, no VJ) -> to a Mike and Phil bass "Jam."
1999-09-17	Jam	Mountain View, CA	3:47	-> in from "YEM." Bass duet with Mike and Phil Lesh.
1999-09-24	Wolfman's	Austin, TX	18:55	Great, multi-section version, including some enchanting, melodic, and "Gin"-like hose jamming from 11:50 - 14:15 with fantastic playing by Page. From here, the jam grows delicate, spacey, and -> to "The Lizards."
1999-10-01	Gin	Ames, IA	18:46	A classic '99 "Gin." Trey's tone and soaring but shredding playing in this straightforward version evince the unique style and sound that could only belong in 1999.
1999-10-01	Gumbo	Ames, IA	12:37	Somewhat bluesy groove with a "Can't Turn You Loose" tease from Page. Big crescendo of noise near the end.
1999-10-08	Halley's	Uniondale, NY	14:24	A propulsive and swirling jam develops with nice Page and Trey teaming. Eventually settles down into a quieter, serene, and cohesive mood.
1999-10-08	Tweezer	Uniondale, NY	19:57	Very long, spacey jam. Brief "Sand" tease.
1999-12-03	Possum	Cincinnati, OH	11:47	Sort of a call and response between Trey and Page that becomes more of a Page-led jam. A very different, relaxed vibe.
1999-12-03	LxL	Cincinnati, OH	16:21	Departs from "Limb" proper around 8:00 and heads into a dark, subdued jam during which Trey plays keyboard for a good portion. Not to everyone's liking, but more exploratory than most versions. Returns to "Limb" to conclude.
1999-12-10	Tweezer	Philadelphia, PA	14:15	Extremely textural version that builds a "wall of sound." Doesn't do much IMO, but mileage varies.
1999-12-10	Jibboo	Philadelphia, PA	14:09	Careful and patient, the front half of this jam features strong Rhodes and synth work from Page, to create a twinkly and spacey vibe. The band slowly accelerates this "Gotta Jibboo" to a smooth pinnacle, with multiple, very pleasant peaks; other "Jibboos" peak harder, but this one peaks cleaner and longer than its '99 peers. A true culmination of groove-based jam ideas from fall and winter '99.
1999-12-17	BOAF	Hampton, VA	10:47	Decent jam that veers briefly away from the standard form.
1999-12-17	Jam	Hampton, VA	5:05	A spacey, quiet jam with building energy and effects from Page spans the gap between "The Moma Dance" and "Bug."
1999-12-17	SOAMelt	Hampton, VA	17:22	Rooted in the improvisational millennial groove of '99, although perhaps more repetitive and even plodding at times, Fishman largely leads the jam until about 8 mins in, when Trey adds some space vamp. At 10 mins in, Mike changes course, and the jam takes on a menacing, heavy tone, continuing to build in intensity until a looped-out groove arises, and slow rolls its way to a thunderous conclusion. Not as wonderfully weird as 12/4/99, or as funky and fun as the 12/31 performance, but still an incredible three versions to end the century.
1999-12-31	Tube	Big Cypress, FL	9:23	Great lead work from Trey and some nice fills from Fishman in this one from Big Cypress.
1999-12-31	SOAMelt	Big Cypress, FL	20:01	Multi-section, improvisational groove-based jam, including typically dark "SOAM" grooving, funky upbeat major mode jamming, and a -> to "Catapult." Vastly different from 7/15/99.
1999-12-31	Catapult	Big Cypress, FL	1:17	-> in from an excellent "SOAM."
1999-12-31	DwD	Big Cypress, FL	23:41	Laid back but joyful millennial celebratory groove. This is feel good music. Unfinished with -> to "Llama."
1999-12-31	Gin	Big Cypress, FL	15:47	A very different "Gin" begins with extended vocal jamming through 9:25, then shifts to an enchanting groove.
1999-12-31	Twist	Big Cypress, FL	13:15	A tranquil ambient groove emerges with delay loops and an eerie Page solo on the Fender-Rhodes. -> to "Prince Caspian."
1999-12-31	R&R	Big Cypress, FL	30:23	This wide-ranging, 30-minute monster from Cypress starts off in an excellent bluesy groove, before quieting down to a percussive, groovy, organ-led cowbell movement with anthemic riffing from Trey. The jam then coasts along at a low simmer, with very quiet, introspective playing and massive bass bombs, before exploding into an epic, earth-shattering firestorm of a conclusion at 26:00.
1999-12-31	YEM	Big Cypress, FL	22:22	Crowd-assisted CHEESECAKE VJ. (No B&D.)
1999-12-31	C&P	Big Cypress, FL	20:14	This is one of the center-piece jams of one of Phish's most storied and highly-lauded sets. This one quickly hits a slow groovier jam. With a good foundation set by Gordon and Fishman, Trey and Page have ample room to explore several gorgeous and melodic passages.
1999-12-31	Sand	Big Cypress, FL	26:16	The masterpiece of the '99-'00 style "Sands" from the early morning at Big Cypress. A dark groove develops with all sorts of eerie effects added to the mix. Trey's lead work is scintillating and gives the jam an ominous feel as it builds to a devilish peak and then transitions to the hypnotic second movement replete with looped minimalist elements which continue into -> "Quadrophonic Toppling". A must-hear jam from the band's ambient era.
1999-12-31	Quadrophonic Toppling	Big Cypress, FL	10:11	Debut begins with the deployment of Mike's Siket Disc vocal sample in the midst of the meditative, ambient jam which emerged from "Sand". Guitar and keyboard delay loops are eventually joined by a fuller arrangement but the volume never rises above a reverent hush.
1999-12-31	Slave	Big Cypress, FL	15:11	The longest "Type I" version. If you like a slow, really stretched out "Slave," this one is for you. But the peak is nothing remarkable, in fact it sort of collapses under its own weight.
1999-12-31	After Midnight	Big Cypress, FL	20:01	-> in from "Drowned." A patient, sparse, and well-textured groove-based jam.
1999-12-31	Piper	Big Cypress, FL	19:03	New millennium Swamp Worm (it was played about 4:00 AM on 1/1/00) opens with all guns blazing before settling down with a Mike and Page led groove including "Bug" teases from Page.
1999-12-31	Roses	Big Cypress, FL	35:03	Launches into phenomenally intense improv almost from the start as it embarks on an at-times-breathtaking journey. Eventually grows dissonant before briefly regaining its feel-good vibe.
1999-12-31	2001	Big Cypress, FL	13:40	35th song in the second set is the infamous "Hood" fake out. Breakdown at 5:40 is sicknasty and Trey sounds as fresh as he did in 1983. Second jam features a reggae filth groove.
1999-12-31	Meatstick	Big Cypress, FL	8:44	Closes out the Big Cypress festival with a short ambient outro.
2000-06-09	Funky Bitch	Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan	9:52	Atypically improvisational must-hear monster.
2000-06-09	CDT	Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan	9:43	Winning fans in Japan. This huge first-set-closing version raises hell and ends, but then there's a second ending that concludes cacophonously.
2000-06-09	Tweezer	Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan	30:45	Atypically slow but monstrously improvisational version that has several peaks and valleys before speeding-up and concluding in a melodic, triumphant, must-fucking-hear manner.
2000-06-09	Mango	Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan	9:15	Ending jam segment stretches the limits of the basic jam with some nice rhythmic variation, but still stays "in bounds."
2000-06-09	YEM	Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan	23:04	Deeeep, funky jam/groove, and the return of the B&D segment!
2000-06-16	LxL	Suminoe-ku, Osaka, Japan	15:38	Great show opening version settles into a relaxed, groove-like section while retaining the "LxL" vibe. The jam then patiently builds to a shredding, celebratory conclusion.
2000-06-16	Runaway Jim	Suminoe-ku, Osaka, Japan	26:04	Excellent, multi-part "Jim." A serene yet percussive groove emerges first, followed by a transition with delay bombs dropping. Then Trey hits the mini-keyboard for a plunky, unusual jam before space and a -> to a very good "Theme."
2000-06-16	Theme	Suminoe-ku, Osaka, Japan	14:43	-> in from "Runaway Jim." The jam has a very relaxed feel to it and some typical '00 sounds from Trey. At about 7:30, a droning, Fish and Gordon section begins. Trey adds some high pitched effects, and at 11:25, Page plays the chords signaling the impending conclusion. A gradual cycle down leads to a -> to "Dog Faced Boy."
2000-06-16	Hood	Suminoe-ku, Osaka, Japan	17:42	Extended intro with awesome jazzy Mike and possibly a "Dog Log" tease. You might expect a really gentle, spacey jam given the year, but thanks to Fish, it has a really great pulse while also being delicate at first, swelling to nice peak.
2000-06-23	Ya Mar	Atlanta, GA	13:52	Sticks pretty close to the typical format, but the band really stretches this one out patiently, without a hint at all of feeling eager to get to the next song.
2000-06-23	Gin	Atlanta, GA	15:38	This is your '00-style "Type I" HOSE jam. A great upbeat version, the tone and sound of this "Gin" is markedly different from other standout "Type I" versions like 8/17/97, 11/20/98, and 9/12/99. Released on Live Bait Vol. 8.
2000-06-23	Farmhouse	Atlanta, GA	7:07	A classic '00 version in every sense, this "Farmhouse" serves as a foil for the 9/28/99 version, and features a much more mellow, restrained yet interesting jam including some cool repetitive riffs from Trey near the conclusion.
2000-06-23	Makisupa	Atlanta, GA	6:07	Trey plays a spry, gentle solo that starts off lilting and pretty and then speeds up without ever losing its light feel. The version also has a nice vocal reprise and a decent outro.
2000-06-30	Tweezer	Hartford, CT	12:18	Short but very powerful.
2000-06-30	Possum	Hartford, CT	10:24	Trey's agitated, high pitched playing in the latter part of the jam sounds like a jet airplane throttling up for takeoff.
2000-06-30	Halley's	Hartford, CT	15:06	Nice jam with good bass work from Mike that sounds similar to "Sand." The energy level really picks up in the final few minutes as Trey kicks into high gear. "Things That Make You Go Hmmm" tease by Mike.
2000-06-30	Mango	Hartford, CT	12:13	> in from "Halley's Comet." Great version where the band explores and improvises with the basic "Mango" theme in a greatly extended outro jam that transitions to "Twist."
2000-07-07	Gumbo	Burgettstown, PA	9:06	Real tight groove, with no one member leading.
2000-07-07	Divided	Burgettstown, PA	16:32	A completely different style of play, reflecting the sound of 1999 and 2000. Anything but hard rocking, it's graceful, emotive music, with Mike, Page and Fish leading the way.
2000-07-07	Funky Bitch	Burgettstown, PA	8:05	Stays "type I" but rocks exceptionally well.
2000-07-07	Maze	Burgettstown, PA	9:16	Like 4/5/98, there is a -> to "Shafty," but here it's in the middle of Trey's solo, and then there is a -> back to "Maze."
2000-07-07	Shafty	Burgettstown, PA	2:20	-> in from "Maze." The first serving of a "Shafty" sandwich (4/5/98) was open-faced. This one has "Maze" on both sides. -> back to "Maze."
2000-07-07	Maze	Burgettstown, PA	3:12	-> in from "Shafty" to complete this cool and unusual version of "Maze."
2000-07-07	Ghost	Burgettstown, PA	17:21	Polyrhythmic wormhole to 1995 which switches gears toward a wide droning gyre ornamented with spirals and dimensional flanging and a vaguely tubular resolution. [A haunting version which breaks into a distinctive dark groove at 9:00 and stays there, with little of the typically blissful jamming associated with "Ghost."]
2000-07-14	Timber Ho	Columbus, OH	8:07	More similar to pre-'97 versions with driving percussion and intense guitar work. A raging storm.
2000-07-14	Jibboo	Columbus, OH	9:36	While shorter, this one has a stronger peak than most with lots of classic Trey/Page interplay - definitely a top-shelf "Gotta Jibboo."
2000-07-14	Foam	Columbus, OH	10:10	Interesting version in which Trey strums chords during the build-up rather than striking individual notes (as is customary).
2000-07-14	Mike's	Columbus, OH	16:38	Awesome yin yang version. The 1st jam is a rocking, intense incendiary groove, while the 2nd is its serene, blissful and introspective foil. This version was the last "Mike's" to feature a significant 2nd jam until 2015.
2000-09-08	Jam	Albany, NY	7:04	An ambient jam develops by > on the back end of "Gin," and includes Fish on vacuum and Trey on drums. > to "Zero."
2000-09-15	Piper	Hershey, PA	20:08	Fishman's tempo driven percussion work moves this dark other-worldly spacious jam along.
2000-09-15	Tube	Hershey, PA	17:36	This incredible jam begins with fast-paced funk, while the jam reprise moves into type 2 territory with a space groove before reaching a rocking climax. > into "When the Circus Comes". Longest Tube to date.
2000-09-15	Jam	Hershey, PA	0:00	See Tube Jamming Chart.
2000-09-22	DwD	Rosemont, IL	17:07	An upbeat groove-based jam develops with building intensity leading to the return to "DwD" to close.
2000-09-22	Tube	Rosemont, IL	9:22	The last Tube before the hiatus begins with Trey using effects while the rest of the band grooves along. Picks up steam in the second half of the jam and ends with Trey playing similar lines on the keyboard that he played on guitar earlier in the jam.
2000-09-29	Wilson	Las Vegas, NV	9:32	After a few minutes of soloing, Trey gets into a demented, octaved-down, shred zone, and the band reciprocates with pulsating, demonic energy. Seek out video of this extended, metal-tinged version to see Trey workshopping his 'First Tube feedback sword-fighting moves' during the noisy outro which segues unexpectedly into Spock's Brain.
2000-09-29	Gin	Las Vegas, NV	16:57	The standard jam gives way at about 9:30 to a great Mike-led, bouncy groove that grows increasingly rocking and intense.
2000-09-29	Moma	Las Vegas, NV	9:40	The last big "Moma" of 2000, played in the same powerful style as 7/6 and 9/23. Strong, rocking version.
2000-10-06	Sand	Mountain View, CA	15:34	> from "Cities." Starts with a mellow, airy loop and Trey on the keyboard before he switches to guitar and gives the jam a boost with some great playing.
2003-01-03	Pebbles and Marbles	Hampton, VA	13:41	This debut version set a high standard for the jamming potential of the song and exemplifies the uplifting and rocking playing heard in all subsequent performances.
2003-01-03	Wolfman's	Hampton, VA	14:52	Super solid version with a gradual transition out the funk phase that develops into a kick-ass celebratory blow out.
2003-01-03	Makisupa	Hampton, VA	7:04	This version has a cool little jam, that is laid back and spacey. Trey provides some engaging noodling after the five minute mark.
2003-01-03	Contact	Hampton, VA	8:18	In the encore slot, this excellent "Contact" features an extended, rocking and funky jam.
2003-02-14	Fee	Inglewood, CA	10:54	Outro evolves into a beautiful calypso style jam that grows more abstract with delay effects. -> into "Taste."
2003-02-14	Taste	Inglewood, CA	10:26	-> in from "Fee." Cool, somewhat mellow, and very different solo by Trey. But the band brings the heat back at the finish.
2003-02-14	Gin	Inglewood, CA	18:41	2.0-style HOSE. The jam sticks close to standard for a while, then breaks away into a fantastic, euphoric groove.
2003-02-14	WotC	Inglewood, CA	23:13	Despite its duration, most of the jam section is essentially "Type I" with some interesting instrumentation. At about 18:00, the jam finally breaks free of "WOTC" into a nice low-key section that -> to "Carini."
2003-02-14	Bag	Inglewood, CA	11:33	A very quiet, calm, yet strangely percussive jam in this strong version with a -> to "Prince Caspian."
2003-02-21	DwD	Cincinnati, OH	17:12	Nothing too deep, just a nice "feel good" jam that bops along with sprinkles of improvisation from Trey and Page before returning to "DwD" to close.
2003-02-21	Boogie On	Cincinnati, OH	6:47	Breakdown jamming.
2003-02-21	Mike's	Cincinnati, OH	14:40	The jam begins with a semi-dark tone, includes some nice Trey/Page interplay, and Trey makes it more interesting by varying the melodic lines away from standard "Mike's.". Around 10:00, the jam settles into more spacey, effects-heavy play, where it remains until a -> "Free."
2003-02-21	Velvet Sea	Cincinnati, OH	8:07	Rough, rugged, and raw, a glimpse (the video is up on YouTube) of the band - Page included - at their most vulnerable. But boy, man. It's Phish. Pouring it on through an incredibly difficult point in their history. Listen to Trey's sustain. Then stick around for the closing coda. It's almost too much.
2003-02-28	Gin	Uniondale, NY	20:45	Another incredibly exploratory '03 "Gin." Every bit as improvisational as 2/22/03, the jam has more of a melodic, flowing nature to it, and thus bears more resemblance to the versions from the late '90s, within the context of 2003.
2003-02-28	BOTT	Uniondale, NY	11:52	Fantastic "Type I" version with a crescendo-oriented jam. Arguably the standard against which all "Type I" "BOTTs" should be compared.
2003-02-28	Tweezer	Uniondale, NY	26:38	Magnificent. "Hose" 'em down. Hear it at all costs.
2003-02-28	Bowie	Uniondale, NY	18:31	Jam stays in familiar "Bowie" territory until 13:05 when it breaks away into some nice exploration.
2003-02-28	Hood	Uniondale, NY	14:30	Great version that just keeps building and building, up and up. A BIG exclamation point to end Set II of a historic show.
2003-07-18	Roggae	East Troy, WI	8:28	Another great version, but vastly different from the preceding two. This is much more of a high power, rocking jam.
2003-07-18	DwD	East Troy, WI	23:15	Incredibly improvisational and hard driving version that includes a section from 17:40 - 19:00 that sounds similar to "Woman of Tokyo." -> to "Catapult" although arguably it's really part of the same jam.
2003-07-18	Catapult	East Troy, WI	3:02	-> in from "DwD." Great version which continues the vibe from the epic "Disease" that precedes it.
2003-07-18	Twist	East Troy, WI	14:25	A spacey jam strenghtened by chilling effects gains some momentum and eventually finds its way home.
2003-07-18	Hood	East Troy, WI	16:14	An excellent "Type II" section peels away from "Hood" at 7:30, continuing for a good 5 minutes before coming home.
2003-07-25	CDT	Charlotte, NC	10:21	The jam settles down at about 6:00, then gradually amps back up.
2003-07-25	Gin	Charlotte, NC	18:29	Great "Gin" which begins with several cool stops, works through the "Type I" standard, then goes beyond, breaking into a groove which morphs into several different moods and sections, and then returns to "Gin" to conclude.
2003-07-25	Kung	Charlotte, NC	6:02	More musical than most, play ->'s from "Drowned." Atop Fish's bedrock beat, Trey maintains a righteous, punishing riff, before a blast of atypical soloing bleeds to inform a nasty -> into a like-minded "Twist."
2003-07-25	Hood	Charlotte, NC	29:34	Spectacular, very "Type II" "Hood." Between this one and 7/31/03, the jam here gets a further removed from the norm, working through several exploratory sections before returning to close. > to an excellent "David Bowie."
2003-07-25	Bowie	Charlotte, NC	15:24	Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Blows out the door of "Bowie" almost immediately into multiple varied and solid movements and includes a nice midstream, full band "Tweezer" tease.
2003-11-28	Waves	Uniondale, NY	12:47	Long intro. Quite intense, jarring and distorted towards the ending.
2003-11-28	DwD	Uniondale, NY	16:44	Stays on the customary "Type I" jam for a good while before shifting to a rocking and rhythmic bent.
2004-04-16	R&R	Las Vegas, NV	12:01	Jam mellows after a bit and sustains a decent pulse with nice Page work. "Low Rider" teases.
2004-04-16	BOTT	Las Vegas, NV	7:56	Well played, extended outro jam with good segue (->) into "Possum."
2004-04-16	Jibboo	Las Vegas, NV	13:56	Sloppy and takes time to peak, but when the band finally comes together and eventually peaks it's a gorgeous moment of clarity that cuts through everything and makes things happy for a minute, before getting goregously goopy and grimy like only '04 can.
2004-04-16	Twist	Las Vegas, NV	23:58	Exploratory and multi-faceted jam emerges around 8:00 after some nice variations on the "Twist" theme. Intense, the jam includes power rocking, distortion and effects, and builds to a furious peak before returning to "Twist."
2004-04-16	Wilson	Las Vegas, NV	5:18	Trey's voice is pretty beat, but he quickly gets into a twisted, chaotic, octave-hopping, 2.0-style, shoegazey mode, as Mike stretches the groove out over snappy Fishman fills.
2004-04-16	The Little Drummer Boy	Las Vegas, NV	0:59	In the chaos that usually precedes "BLAT BOOM", Trey leads the band into a "Little Drummer Boy" vamp, at first festive, and soon going down a more evil path in a minor key, desert rock mood over droning church organs while a quiet, but harsh loop sounds throughout.
2004-04-16	Wilson	Las Vegas, NV	0:41	Trey "BLAT BOOMs" his way out of Little Drummer Boy to conclude a unique version of Wilson.
2004-04-16	Hood	Las Vegas, NV	19:27	This "Hood" shifts to a rocking "Type II" groove at 8:45, briefly returns to "Hood," then departs into a dark, rhythmic minor mode section before finally coming home to close around 17:25.
2004-06-18	CDT	Brooklyn, NY	15:39	Breaks away from "CDT" at about 6:00 and by 8:00 has morphed into a very subdued, quiet sentiment. The jam gradually rebuilds momentum and pulse and returns to "CDT."
2004-06-25	Wolfman's	East Troy, WI	14:35	Excellent, improvisational "Type II" version has some awesome Mike early on followed by funk, then some deep, dark and far-ranging exploration before miraculously finding its way back to "Wolfman's" to close.
2004-06-25	Seven Below	East Troy, WI	27:04	The longest version of "Seven Below" is arguably not the best version, but it has some very engaging improvsation. While the boys are ambitious, they never really catch onto a theme, so it seems a bit unfocused at times. If you want a better, albight shorter, '04 "Seven Below," check out the 6/20/04 SPAC version.
2004-06-25	Weekapaug	East Troy, WI	11:10	The jam settles down noticeably around 3:00, with good quiet play by all four, before Mike builds a nice meaty foundation for Page and Trey to play over. As the jam returns to familiar ground, Trey leads an inspired, extended and celebratory peak.
2009-03-06	BDTNL	Hampton, VA	6:05	Debut.
2009-06-12	KDF	Manchester, TN	15:18	The first "Type II" version. Led by Trey, the jam slowly drifts from the typical blues-rock into a whammy-filled, major-key groove not unlike the famous 7/10/99 "CDT" in spots. Ends with a -> to "Free."
2009-06-19	ASIHTOS	Noblesville, IN	10:56	Standard rendition until the jam takes a turn towards a beatless ambience drenched by Page's synth, which grows loosely percussive and upbeat. > to "Drowned."
2009-06-19	Twist	Noblesville, IN	9:29	A settled section follows the standard jam, which leads to some "CYHMK"-like jamming, then some free form improvisation before returning to "Twist" to conclude.
2009-06-19	Tweezer	Noblesville, IN	12:44	A very good jam eventually segues into a spacey interlude before "2001" kicks in.
2009-07-31	C&P	Morrison, CO	13:18	This one is more laid back than the one played at Alpine almost a month before. They hit a nice little '09 funk jam. Around the 10:30 minute mark they turn the corner and build to a nice climax. Also, this was the first time the "Drowned -> Crosseyed" combo was performed since 9/14/2000.
2009-07-31	Tweezer	Morrison, CO	12:25	Diverse, tight, melodic jams.
2009-07-31	BDTNL	Morrison, CO	7:24	The jam has an interesting section from 4:05 - 5:10 where Trey deviates from the standard melody line.
2009-08-07	Possum	George, WA	8:33	Normal "Possum" jam abandoned for call and response between Trey and Page. Unique and well worth a listen.
2009-08-07	Sneakin' Sally	George, WA	17:50	First 3.0 version is a monster. The most exploratory version to date. At first funky and snappy, it soon stretches beyond anything like "Sally." From there (about 11:00), it quiets into serene, beautiful space, and then regains momentum, reminiscent of the big Albany "Seven Below" that would follow months later. Must-hear.
2009-08-07	Light	George, WA	13:15	After a rough composed section, a largely standard jam suddenly morphs into a highly melodic calypso section, replete with vocal harmonies, before neatly -> to "Taste."
2009-08-07	Gin	George, WA	18:00	Very good, improvisational "Gin" with multiple sections. The jam breaks away from "Gin" proper at 9:30, proceeding through at least 3 movements before settling with no return to "Gin." > to "Harry Hood."
2009-08-14	BOAF	Hartford, CT	9:32	Similar to 11/13/98 in that this version mostly stays "in bounds," but likewise pushes the envelope. A quality version.
2009-08-14	DwD	Hartford, CT	13:00	Atypically soulful soloing from Trey, with a strong "Reba"-like jam, shortly before the ending segue into "Wilson."
2009-08-14	Piper	Hartford, CT	13:02	Once past 3 minutes of somewhat unpleasant string bending from Trey, the jam becomes quite improvisational and multi-faceted with some great Mike and Page contributions, including a "Spill The Wine" Page tease.
2009-10-30	Wolfman's	Indio, CA	11:36	Really no funk section at all. Instead, an upbeat rocker with super Page and great Mike triumphs, recedes, and morphs into eerie, effects-laden space for 3 minutes before > to a great (short) "Piper."
2009-10-30	Piper	Indio, CA	11:03	One of the best (short) versions ever, certainly for "3.0." Several distinct movements in the jam and all band members contribute well. "She Saved My Soul"-like vocal jam towards the end.
2009-11-20	Jibboo	Cincinnati, OH	10:59	By far the strongest of early 3.0 "Gotta Jibboos" that starts with extremely quiet and patient interplay from all four band members, building up to an extremely happy peak that delivers everything "Jibboo" fans want in a feel-good and celebratory jam. The build is rapid and somewhat abbreviated, but this leaves more time and space for both the quiet introductory interplay and the strong peak.
2009-11-20	BOTT	Cincinnati, OH	5:35	Very quick tempo on this short, funky version. -> out of "Light" and -> into "Possum."
2009-11-27	Timber Ho	Albany, NY	6:49	Shorter, yes, but it's well-played and packs a lot of the punch that older versions did. This is what "Timber" is supposed to sound like.
2009-11-27	Golden Age	Albany, NY	9:33	> in from ""MFMF."" In the Phish debut version, the bulk of the jamming is contained within structure of the song, except for a brief cacophonous outro.
2009-11-27	Hood	Albany, NY	12:49	Sweet Mike action in the intro, then the jam has an excellent and measured build up in intensity, it peaks, and > to "Suzy."
2009-12-04	YEM	New York, NY	21:02	Strong jam segment and well-played all around.
2010-06-11	LxL	Bridgeview, IL	10:43	Well-played, not spectacular, but nevertheless features a cool and unusual vocal jam at the end - perhaps of S. African inspiration (performance occurred during the 2010 World Cup soccer finals in S. Africa).
2010-06-25	CDT	Camden, NJ	16:30	Upbeat, rocking jam until things settle down and Mike adds some interesting bass effects at about 9:45. The jam then becomes at once both funky and spacey. Gets into a tight pulsing groove, and Mike is HUGE. A top 2010 jam.
2010-06-25	2001	Camden, NJ	5:57	The version to beat from the 3.0 era. This Michael Jackson-infused "2001" is not just a novelty. Serious funk and the interplay in the last couple minutes is top notch. This section -> to the debut of "Billie Jean".
2010-06-25	Billie Jean	Camden, NJ	4:00	-> in from "2001." This debut version is sandwiched inside a strong 3.0 version of "2001" and includes a "Thriller" tease. -> back to "2001."
2010-06-25	2001	Camden, NJ	1:34	-> in from "Billie Jean" to complete this standout 3.0 version.
2010-07-02	BOTT	Charlotte, NC	10:03	Another strong 3.0 version.
2010-07-02	YEM	Charlotte, NC	22:19	"Fuck Your Face" teases (Trey; Mike in B&D); "Moving in Stereo" tease (Trey): Vocal jam included portions of "Proud Mary" and "Get Back," along with "Dong Work for Yuda" and "Slow Ride" quotes.
2010-08-06	Cities	Berkeley, CA	11:04	Some incredible playing by Mike and Page in this extended version that gets into a spell-binding, enchanting groove. A fantastic version that transitions (oddly and arguably abruptly) to "Moma Dance."
2010-08-06	R&R	Berkeley, CA	14:29	Great, multi-faceted jam with solid band interplay.
2010-08-06	Mike's	Berkeley, CA	8:07	Calling this jam straightforward would be missing the point. The jam is intense and powerful, with strong playing by Page and Trey. The jam actually bears similarity to the excellent crop of groove-based jams in "Mike's" versions from '00.
2010-08-06	Simple	Berkeley, CA	15:30	Intensely melodic, gorgeous, charming version that gets repetitious and nearly transcendent.
2010-10-22	Julius	Providence, RI	9:30	Trey lays down some different and interesting licks in the early parts of the jam, and Mike is great.
2010-10-22	R&R	Providence, RI	12:49	Very high quality jam that covers a lot of ground and -> to an equally fast moving "Carini."
2010-10-22	Carini	Providence, RI	8:01	-> in from "R&R." The Shapeshifter version. Don't be fooled by the timing, this version is all over the map with improvisation, changing forms multiple times within minutes. -> "My Problem Right There."
2010-10-29	Cities	Atlantic City, NJ	8:49	All four team up in the well-played, extended jam that gets somewhat spacey at the very end.
2010-10-29	Sand	Atlantic City, NJ	13:11	> out of "Punch You in the Eye." Another strong version with a dynamic groove and tension-filled playing from Trey. Also includes an upbeat, "type 2" outro jam that seems to hint at "Cool it Down" and a -> into "Carini."
2010-10-29	Fluffhead	Atlantic City, NJ	15:44	Despite more frequent rotation from 2009 - 2012, this song continues to challenge the band from a precision perspective. In this strong modern version, Fluff's Travels and The Chase are largely free of mistakes, but then the band hits a few bumps in Who Do? We Do! Clod is solid, with call and response action between Page and Trey, followed by nice Fish and Mike support during Page's solo. Ending this second set with emphasis, Arrival is extended compared to most versions, showing a spirited, enthused band, with strong playing by Trey and Fish, taking a couple of extra victory laps.
2010-12-31	Sand	New York, NY	10:23	Staccato jam with great full-band interplay gives way to a more typical guitar-led conclusion.
2010-12-31	Ghost	New York, NY	13:48	May this one find you when you are feeling down, it will lift your heart and your feet from the ground; building the euphoric bridge that allows you to cross that river of tears. [A strong straightforward version. By shifting to D major just before 7:00 and staying in that place for over 6 minutes, the bliss or release section is accentuated.]
2010-12-31	YEM	New York, NY	10:47	Short, but very fun. "Manteca" sandwich and goofiness everywhere. Trey briefly cracks up at start of vocal jam when Mike says "Crab in my shoemouth" instead of WUDMTF.
2010-12-31	Manteca	New York, NY	0:32	-> in from "YEM." "Manteca" is sandwiched in the "YEM" jam.
2010-12-31	YEM	New York, NY	6:04	-> in from "Manteca" to continue this short but fun "YEM."
2011-05-27	Walk Away	Bethel, NY	7:04	Following a super -> from "Wolfman's Brother", Trey wastes no time choosing his line, and powers the band through an incredibly strong and spirited version.
2011-05-27	KDF	Bethel, NY	12:48	A real hybrid that combines suave major mode playing with the expected minor rock.
2011-05-27	BOTT	Bethel, NY	9:14	Great version with building energy and nice back and forth between Page and Trey.
2011-05-27	Boogie On	Bethel, NY	9:03	Staccato jamming gives way to a "Type II" slowed down, effects-laden outro and > into "Waves".
2011-05-27	Waves	Bethel, NY	13:51	Fantastic playing by Trey in the jam proper. Beautiful, lush and serene outro jam. In many ways the polar opposite of the haunting outro from "IT." Transitions to a solid "Prince Caspian."
2011-05-27	Caspian	Bethel, NY	7:33	> in from a great version of "Waves." Although shorter, this version suggests the band's willingness to take the jam segment in new and different directions, with subtle and cohesive playing. > to "C&P."
2011-06-03	CDT	Clarkston, MI	10:23	Trey brings the volume way down, and then proceeds with a very gradual, "Possum"-like build that shifts to minor key briefly before flipping back to major at the peak and finish.
2011-06-03	DwD	Clarkston, MI	24:18	Inspirational, melodic and far-reaching version which includes a jam based on John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme." Many consider this among the very top jams of 3.0 and proof that "DwD" is as potent now as ever. -> "Fluffhead."
2011-06-03	Bowie	Clarkston, MI	15:29	Jam shifts to upbeat, major mode at 7:46 and mostly remains there for some time before shifting back at 10:40. Great one but for some excessive string bending, or perhaps flat notes by Trey.
2011-06-10	Curtain With	Camden, NJ	14:28	There are a few spots here and there in The Curtain and the beginning of With that seem a bit off. Nonetheless, Trey soloing in With seems particularly inspired, and Mike is also noticeably strong. The jam reaches a fairly intense peak, before expectedly settling to conclude.
2011-06-10	Steep	Camden, NJ	6:40	Trey's wonderful, pretty, and soulful soloing, accompanied by Mike's on-point, cascading runs, work to create a truly notable version. Per netter @jerryguscia, Trey quickly shifts towards a bit of jamming featuring some rhythmic, low-key strumming, play which breaks to become dark and funky improvisation before dissolving into those hazy waves of sound typical for the era.
2011-06-17	R&R	Charlotte, NC	13:13	"A Love Supreme" tease is included in this outstanding version, which while subtle and spacey at times, is the "good" kind of musical space, requiring band-wide cohesion and coordinated improvisation. Segue to "Ghost."
2011-06-17	Reba	Charlotte, NC	11:47	Pretty clean - and rather fast - playing through the composed section incites strong improvisation from Trey, who syncs up with Mike and Fish, who nicely modulate intensity. Great guitar - with Page painting bright fills - dominates a strong, patient, and highly musical build, with Trey trilling to a thrilling release.
2011-07-01	Moma	Watkins Glen, NY	9:25	Powerful, extended jam segment with the crowd singing the melody line together with the band at the end.
2011-07-01	Wolfman's	Watkins Glen, NY	11:45	Basically "Type I," but there is some fantastic Page/Trey/Mike interplay mid-jam before Trey leads a full-throttle ending.
2011-07-01	Jam	Watkins Glen, NY	3:25	Sort of an evil sounding jam with occasional laughing by Fish and Trey opens Set II and > to "C&P."
2011-07-01	Simple	Watkins Glen, NY	14:20	A straightforward but delicately played "Simple" fades away, leading to 6 minutes of '99-esque space.
2011-08-05	Taste	George, WA	9:07	Perhaps overshadowed by epic versions of "Roggae" and "Rock And Roll," this is nonetheless an excellent "Taste." Trey has some great moments throughout, and of course Page, but do yourself a favor while enjoying this and pay attention to Mike - he is locked-in and rock solid.
2011-08-05	Roggae	George, WA	11:17	After skirting around the periphery of "Roggae," the jam eventually makes a clean break at about 7:30 into a somewhat rocking, somewhat bluesy jam with excellent Fish and Mike.
2011-08-05	R&R	George, WA	19:55	Magnificent and improvisational jam features Page on the theremin and scary vocal effects from Mike. The jam has an upbeat opening that is eclipsed by dark and electric sections which conclude with a flawless -> to "Meatstick."
2011-08-05	Meatstick	George, WA	8:47	Great segue in from a phenomenal "R&R," and also features a bit more varied jamming in the outro. -> to "BORW."
2011-08-05	Boogie On	George, WA	8:42	-> in from "Meatstick." Trey and Page join Super Mike and all three rock this one hard, while Fish dutifully keeps everything in check. Technically "Type I," it's nevertheless a great version. > to "Farmhouse."
2011-08-12	Tweezer	San Francisco, CA	11:14	Very well-played, with an excellent peak, and Page grooving on the clavinet as the jam goes spacey.
2011-09-02	Steam	Commerce City, CO	10:30	Great segue out of "Simple." Page shines early on, then Trey takes over and delivers a ferocious solo. Must hear.
2011-09-02	Slave	Commerce City, CO	9:58	Trey sustains a single note for 1:08. Debatable whether or not this effort "works," but it's certainly unusual and worth checking out. Decide for yourself!
2011-12-30	Piper	New York, NY	15:16	A rhythmic, swirling, and improvisational jam develops with nice work by Page. Becomes serene and dreamy towards the conclusion and transition to "Twist." Really an excellent version.
2011-12-30	2001	New York, NY	7:23	On the shorter side but chock-full of fresh ideas. The second jam has some sweet stop-start and Trey drops one of the sweetest tones around. No dull moments here.
2012-06-08	Roses	Worcester, MA	10:08	A very nice melodic jam that turns dark develops as "Roses" proper is winding down.
2012-06-08	Julius	Worcester, MA	9:58	Proving again that less is more (at least for "Julius"), Trey's nimble, amped-down playing provides interesting texture, and creates better suspension awaiting the inevitable re-build.
2012-06-08	Gin	Worcester, MA	12:02	In a bit of a nod to the old, pre-August '93 days, the jam begins with decelerating tempo and downward sloping melodies. At 7:30, the jam shifts into the more familiar, uptempo "modern" "Gin" jam. Cool version. Check out 11/16/91 if you doubt.
2012-06-08	2001	Worcester, MA	9:37	Stellar 3.0 version. Trey's delicate soloing is inspired and fresh and Page fills in all the right gaps. Simply gorgeous.
2012-06-15	Tube	Atlantic City, NJ	6:33	Strong 3.0 version with start-stop jamming and fantastic playing from Mike as per usual. Spacey outro into "Cities".
2012-06-15	BOAF	Atlantic City, NJ	14:37	Following a good straightforward "Birds" jam, this one moves beyond "BOAF" proper into an upbeat, pulsing jam. From there, it shifts again into 3.0-style ambient space, before regaining some rhythm and -> to "BOTT."
2012-06-22	KDF	Cincinnati, OH	11:21	Includes an eerie outro full of creepy effects that sounds like it was taken right out of the IT festival and transitions (>) to an equally menacing "Twist."
2012-06-22	Twist	Cincinnati, OH	14:13	At 6:15, the jam breaks from "Twist," taking on a haunting, spectral tone that grows increasingly powerful. The jam settles briefly, then gains energy and gets more upbeat, launching into a "Heaven On Their Minds" jam (from Jesus Christ Superstar), before winding down and > to "Halley's Comet."
2012-06-29	DwD	Noblesville, IN	14:45	High quality jam develops that is dark and brooding at first, but grows increasingly upbeat and intense. > to "Sand."
2012-06-29	Sand	Noblesville, IN	10:19	Coming out of a very good "Disease," the jam is a tight, rhythmic groove with "Walk This Way" and "Weekapaug" teases from Trey. Segues into "Twist."
2012-06-29	Gin	Noblesville, IN	8:07	> in from "Rift." Despite its brevity, this version has some fantastic and unusual improvisation and includes a "Twist" quote and an "On Broadway" tease from Trey. With a -> to "Fluffhead," this is a great, old-school triple combo.
2012-07-06	Tube	Saratoga Springs, NY	1:35	"Tube's" funky jam smoothly -> into the Talking Heads classic "Psycho Killer".
2012-07-06	Psycho Killer	Saratoga Springs, NY	2:20	A rousing performance sandwiched inside "Tube's" jam.
2012-07-06	Tube	Saratoga Springs, NY	2:39	-> from "Psycho Killer" and briefly gets into a staccato clav-groove before wrapping up this crowd-pleasing sandwich.
2012-07-06	Sneakin' Sally	Saratoga Springs, NY	13:02	> in from "PYITE." A great, rocking, upbeat, and multi-part jam follows the vocal jam. > to "Ghost."
2012-08-17	DwD	San Francisco, CA	15:44	Good multi-part jam with great Mike in the early, pulsing section, then more good Mike and Trey in a mostly upbeat, major mode section that has a pensive quality. Unfinished with a > to "BOAF."
2012-08-24	R&R	Pelham, AL	15:55	Very good, multi-part jam. Begins in a snappy, rocking mode with a good "Live And Let Die" tease, grows in power, then mellows with a -> to "Lizards."
2012-08-31	Carini	Commerce City, CO	13:51	Mode shift away from "Carini" at about 6:30 into multi-faceted, rhythmic and increasingly powerful jam.
2012-08-31	Undermind	Commerce City, CO	15:09	Outstanding and extremely cohesive "Type II" jam displays patience and purpose as each proceeding segment is developed and segued seemlessly into the next. Mode shifts into bliss around 9:00 and a transcendent build commences with ever uplifting and growing power until peaking at 13:38. Quite an extraordinary "U" to round out the "F-U-C-K Y-O-U" set.
2012-08-31	Runaway Jim	Commerce City, CO	19:09	A very improvisational version and the first exploratory "Jim" to open Set II since 7/3/00. Most, but not all of the sections have a mildly dark tone which counter-balance the several very upbeat jams elsewhere in this historic show.
2012-08-31	Farmhouse	Commerce City, CO	10:54	Both sections of this historic version from the "F-Y-F" show deserve your attention. "Farmhouse" proper has an excellent straightforward jam, including rocking play similar to the 2/24/03 version, and an extended sustained note from Trey akin to what one might hear in a "Slave" or "Hood" jam. The ambient outro jam begins with an introspective sentiment before morphing into techno-rock abstraction.
2012-08-31	CDT	Commerce City, CO	18:29	An exploratory outro jam begins in a snappy, rhythmic bent, then mode shifts to serene bliss. > to "Emotional Rescue."
2012-12-28	Wolfman's	New York, NY	14:24	An excellent version that includes some really sweet bass action from Mike, a jam on the "Little Drummer Boy," and strong improvisation all around. The jam eventually winds its way back to "Wolfman's" to close.
2012-12-28	Tweezer	New York, NY	20:23	A mesmerizingly incandescent psychedelicious soundscape of elephantine proportion.
2012-12-28	Bowie	New York, NY	13:17	Although essentially "Type I," Fish-directed rhythmic variations, which Trey and the others pick up on, leads to some excellent tension building as the jam progresses. Old-school style "Bowie."
2013-07-05	Bowie	Saratoga Springs, NY	11:33	-> in from "Cities." Very solid and interesting "Bowie" that shifts back and forth between minor and major modes several times. Upbeat jam contrasts nicely with the more "classic" 12/28/12 version.
2013-07-05	Light	Saratoga Springs, NY	15:07	A chaotic atonal interlude from the standard jam gives way to a pulsating, reverberating major mode section that settles into a melodic space before -> to "Mango."
2013-07-05	46 Days	Saratoga Springs, NY	9:10	The jam settles down gradually, then Trey and Fish have a little back-and-forth jam, followed by a Page/Mike back-and-forth jam which -> cleanly to "Steam."
2013-07-05	Steam	Saratoga Springs, NY	10:21	Perfect segue out of "46 Days." Powerful, popular version, yet that is also controversial, given Trey's heavy reliance on the Digitech Whammy pitch shifter to call entire schools and species of whales.
2013-07-12	Reba	Wantagh, NY	13:03	Bizarre version. After swinging through the composed section, Trey augments his tone, and the pitch can easily be considered grating. But his playing remains distilled and deliberate, and, if nothing else, interesting. Any problems here, however, are offset by the others. Page is great. And Fish is a machine. But it is Mike who drives this version, his playing superb throughout, and, in spots, it seems as though he is running lead.
2013-07-12	Bowie	Wantagh, NY	11:34	Another good one with multiple minor/major mode shifts. There's also some nice rhythmic shifting and percussive coloring from Fish from 6:53 - 7:57.
2013-07-12	R&R	Wantagh, NY	19:02	All in all, a quality, multi-section jam. Mike, Page and Fish are strong throughout. If you can just mentally tone down Trey's frequent use of the pitch shifter, it's all good. > to "2001."
2013-07-12	Tweezer	Wantagh, NY	12:33	Page drives the jam into an outstanding peak in the final few minutes, and an excellent segue into "Cities" occurs with Fish playing the rhythm of the "Wedge."
2013-07-19	LxL	Chicago, IL	7:59	Very well played straightforward version with great Trey and Trey/Page interplay. Lacks the big '97/'98 peak, but still solid.
2013-07-26	Wolfman's	George, WA	10:14	"Type I," but with added gusto, including great Mike/Trey teaming early, and then a big peak with strong Fish and Page.
2013-07-26	C&P	George, WA	17:30	The nearly 9 minutes of Type II work in this version changes directions frequently and covers a multitude of styles despite not flowing well at all times. It also hints at a -> to "Roggae" towards the end but ultimately > to "Twist" instead.
2013-07-26	Waves	George, WA	9:54	A great straightforward version of "Waves" provides a similar uplifting and spirit raising boost as a strong "Hood" or "Divided Sky" does. The soaring jam and delicate outro in this fine version from the Gorge underscores this point.
2013-07-26	Mango	George, WA	8:43	While mostly straightforward, there's some extra "Mango" in this solid version with great Page/Trey syncopated jamming.
2013-08-02	Roggae	San Francisco, CA	9:06	Another great "Roggae" from SF, with strong melodic and instrumental variation. Just wish they would play this more often.
2013-08-02	DwD	San Francisco, CA	14:11	Quality exploratory version that succinctly covers a range of interesting territory before > to a compact, solid "Caspian."
2013-08-02	Caspian	San Francisco, CA	5:50	This compact, quality version proves again that good melodic variation in a shorter version can trump the late '90s style 11 - 12 minute arena rockers. And when Trey holds a single note for 68 seconds, it allows the others to shine.
2013-08-02	Farmhouse	San Francisco, CA	7:25	Arguably the finest straightforward version to date, this wonderful version is replete with all sorts of good stuff, including fantastic playing by Mike, great Page and Trey counterpoint, and a lush groove with a peaceful and upbeat sense.
2013-08-02	Seven Below	San Francisco, CA	13:45	A few flubs in the intro don't detract from this very energetic version from the first post-7/31/13 show, which incorporates three different calls for "woos" around some plinko-esque jamming and a good old-fashioned raveup at the end. Winds back into the regular -7 ending, then > into Theme.
2013-08-02	Theme	San Francisco, CA	8:17	By mixing up the melody of the jam more than in the past, the band is creating more interesting versions in less time. Nice!
2013-08-02	STFTFP	San Francisco, CA	8:09	A very strong "Type I" jam in "STFTFP," followed by an unusual, mildly disconcerting outro jam, which itself pairs oddly with low-key "Woo" responses from the audience.
2013-08-30	Stash	Commerce City, CO	11:56	Some very cool and unusual percussion in the jam, which breaks into major mode, then returns with good intensity.
2013-08-30	LxL	Commerce City, CO	8:01	Fish asserts himself strongly, a key element to a quality "Type I" "LxL," and Trey and Page mix it up very nicely.
2013-08-30	Sand	Commerce City, CO	15:18	> from "PYITE". Type II version that breaks form around 7:30 and continues on through sections of upbeat melodic playing, rock, and funk. All in all, another strong "Dick's Sand".
2013-10-18	Twist	Hampton, VA	11:42	At 7:10, the jam breaks into a nice groove that turns 3.0-style ambient and subtle and > to "Free."
2013-10-18	Roggae	Hampton, VA	9:18	The jam builds to a peak, seemingly to conclude, then settles briefly before rebuilding to a second peak.
2013-10-18	Carini	Hampton, VA	16:06	Fantastic, multi-section version in which Page is clearly the superstar, on the B-3 and teaming with Mike early, jumping to piano for some melodic "HOSE" with Trey, and downshifting to great funk action with Mike.
2013-10-25	Waves	Worcester, MA	12:44	The second jam swells to blissful heights once, recedes, then builds to a Freedom Rock peak, finally crashing into Carini.
2013-10-25	Carini	Worcester, MA	9:49	Solid jam that retains a dark sentiment throughout, and is also infused with great staccato, funk, and rhythmic playing.
2013-10-25	BDTNL	Worcester, MA	7:40	High quality "Type I" version with spirited soloing by Trey and strong Page backing. > to "Ghost."
2013-11-01	Possum	Atlantic City, NJ	11:04	A quality "old school" version with a lot of good "Type I" variation in the jamming, building up to an intense peak.
2013-11-01	Twist	Atlantic City, NJ	21:02	The jam breaks away at 6:15, growing melodic and upbeat. Mike adds some great bass effects before a euphoric groove emerges. Then a fun "Under Pressure" jam develops, followed by beautiful low-key jamming.
2013-11-01	Makisupa	Atlantic City, NJ	8:11	Another fun, funky version with "Kush" and "Bush" chanting, lots of weirdness, and a few genuinely musically impressive passages interspersed here and there.
2013-11-01	Boogie On	Atlantic City, NJ	5:42	> from "Meatstick". There's some extra funky mustard on this one and it also includes alternate lyrics referencing bush and kush, as well as a tease of the "Theme from the Rockford Files." Ends with a > to "The Wedge".
2013-11-01	Sneakin' Sally	Atlantic City, NJ	11:06	A solid and funkified breakdown jam follows a good vocal jam and includes Trey banter near the ending.
2014-07-04	Reba	Saratoga Springs, NY	13:06	Precise, delicate, and moving, very pretty play informs subdued jamming, featuring notable full-band interaction. Trey deftly shapes his tone, and the version becomes somewhat hypnotic and enchanting, with the musicians responding one to another before driving the jam to an expansive, emphatic peak.
2014-07-04	Fuego	Saratoga Springs, NY	19:31	The first improvisational "Fuego" works away from the song structure gradually, making a full break by 11:30 into some very nice, light and fluttery interplay. The intensity builds to a crescendo before smoothly sliding into "DwD."
2014-07-11	Gin	New York, NY	16:21	A high intensity "Type I" jam breaks away at 9:45 into some low-key exploration. Page adds color as he switches keyboards, and Trey reignites the intensity with some moderate "hose." Finally, the jam gradually ramps down, closing with a return to "Gin."
2014-07-11	DwD	New York, NY	18:22	The jam breaks at 8:00 into some funky stretching, but Trey quickly seizes on a great riff, which the band coalesces around. As the boys bring the jam up to celebration mode, there is some brief "Woo" jamming before it settles to quieter play with great Page.
2014-07-18	Golden Age	Chicago, IL	16:34	Fish keeps this jam in high gear as it alternates between segments of funky and upbeat jamming until a wave of ambient effects are introduced around the 15 minute mark and concludes with a > to "The Mango Song."
2014-07-18	Wombat	Chicago, IL	11:51	"Wombat" goes for its first big ride, leaving the formal song structure behind around 5:00 and breaking into some light and contemplative play. The pace picks up and the intensity gradually increases, before -> to "CDT."
2014-07-25	Winterqueen	Charlotte, NC	9:37	The jam has a more relaxed vibe than most. A bit of pitch shifting by Trey, which was an issue on 2014 versions. The ending segment is extended as well.
2014-07-25	CDT	Charlotte, NC	16:24	Although Fish keeps the rhythm firmly tied to the basic "CDT" rhythm throughout, Trey and the others explore a lot of varied themes, sounds and motifs within this structure.
2014-08-01	DwD	Orange Beach, AL	19:46	Following some quality "Type I" playing, the jam veers away at 9:00, shifting to minor mode and exploring some quieter realms. At 12:40, the mode shifts back to major, and the jam builds to an inspired peak, followed by additional tension-filled exploration.
2014-08-29	No Quarter	Commerce City, CO	7:37	Closes out the "Lushington" gag. Whale call dominates the very strong and satisfying peak. Clean playing from the entire band effort that builds cleanly. Compact, but in no way short. Fans of this version should also check out 10/26/13.
2014-08-29	46 Days	Commerce City, CO	9:39	A nice low-key and increasingly funky jam develops on the back end of "46 Days" proper.
2014-08-29	Simple	Commerce City, CO	21:50	The Rhythm Department gets the credit for propelling this jam beyond the standard and into a rocking and increasingly euphoric groove that recalls several standout '96 versions. Then Fish, Page and Mike drive the jam into a funky and rhythmic realm.
2014-10-17	Reba	Eugene, OR	12:17	Fish and Mike provide an incredibly mellow groove, atop which Trey and Page exchange ideas. Laid back, the music does morph, becoming dynamic as the band modulates intensity, with the jam becoming even fuller in sound and more melodious. Trey ignites a charge and the version builds to a nice peak.
2014-10-17	Plasma	Eugene, OR	6:26	Debut.
2014-10-17	C&P	Eugene, OR	16:29	Page takes the charge right out of the gate with some heavy clav work before dipping into a spacier jam. They build up into an eerie but up-tempo soundscape. Without reentering "Crosseyed" musically, Trey leads everyone back into a final vocal refrain while playing some absolutely crazy music underneath.
2014-10-24	It's Ice	Inglewood, CA	8:47	Like the Portsmouth "It's Ice", Page hops on the clavinet out of the gate, but this time Trey chips in some wah-scratching and Echoplex to this funky jam before sticking the landing.
2014-10-24	Gin	Inglewood, CA	12:50	This fun version starts with teases of "Low Rider" and "Long Tall Glasses" before accelerating into an energized "Type I" jam.
2014-10-24	DwD	Inglewood, CA	16:24	After extended and very pleasant "Type I" jamming, Mike and Trey drive the play down into some murky and atonal depths. Then this diseased ship gloriously resurfaces to a magnificent conclusion.
2014-10-24	Hood	Inglewood, CA	14:14	Amidst of sea of exploratory '14 versions, this fine one is a welcome reminder that the plain old "Hood" jam, when well executed as it is here, is pretty damn good stuff. Fish and Page are key in bringing up the energy and adding great color to the jam.
2014-10-31	SOAMule	Las Vegas, NV	10:32	Page and Trey in a rocking, guitar-accented piano showcase > ghoulish and spooky Halloween jamming > klezmer > weird chanting by Mike > conclusion.
2014-10-31	The Dogs	Las Vegas, NV	4:10	Promising debut. Following Laura Olsher's narration, Phish explodes into arena rock, replete with full-tilt guitar histrionics.
2014-10-31	Your Pet Cat	Las Vegas, NV	4:25	Debut. Following Laura Olsher's narration and "screaming" sound effects, a plucky Trey leads the band into a jam that, prior to "Tube's" resurgence, would not have sounded out of place in a, well, "Tube" jam.
2014-10-31	Martian Monster	Las Vegas, NV	14:00	Debut closes the legendary Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House Halloween set. This version includes extensive use of vocal samples, many of which are tempo and pitch-shifted, sounding at times like a "YEM" vocal jam performed by hamsters. After a crunchy encounter with the hungry landing committee, the longest version so far ends with a four minute fadeout of the spaceship blasting off towards the planet Mars. Your trip is short!
2014-10-31	Sand	Las Vegas, NV	18:02	A multi-section winner, featuring extended funk jamming, a rocking peak with a "School's Out" tease, and a great -> into "Tweezer Reprise."
2015-01-02	Mike's	Miami, FL	10:06	Similar to 8/6/10 and many of the '00 versions, in which the jam is really more about a groove than it is Trey rehashing the basic "Mike's" jam melody for the 400 and umpteenth time. Both Mike and Fish play with ferocious intensity in this solid version.
2015-01-02	46 Days	Miami, FL	9:50	At 5:40, the jam breaks into dark, funky groove with Page working the B-3. Great teaming by all four as each adds color to a solid version.
2015-01-02	Weekapaug	Miami, FL	16:31	Very atypical jam section with Trey on Marimba Lumina and Mike on guitar, and fierce work from Page and Fish.
2015-07-24	Blaze On	Mountain View, CA	14:58	Despite being only the second "Blaze On", this rendition has strong tension-and-release jamming with Eastern scales from Trey, before circling back to the main theme and jumping off the deep end into a pool of fractals and spacey effects used to signal Pluto.
2015-07-24	Twist	Mountain View, CA	16:45	The beginning of the jam while structurally standard has a decidedly different timbre, as Trey and Mike deploy a gnarly and raw tone. At 9:00, the jam breaks free into the now familiar major mode Phish bliss style typical of the last few years.
2015-07-24	Light	Mountain View, CA	15:12	A solid version which follows a trajectory similar to other recent strong versions. Towards the end, many hear jamming similar to "I Know You Rider."
2015-07-31	KDF	Atlanta, GA	22:37	At the time, this was the longest and most exploratory version to date. Strong finish via some "Tweezer Reprise"-esque jamming.
2015-07-31	Martian Monster	Atlanta, GA	10:25	After an improv-heavy, groundbreaking "KDF," the band goes old school with an instrument rotation based jam. Around 2:30, Mike and Trey switch rigs. Then at about 4:30, Trey visits the keyboard station, before moving on to Fish country where he is joined by Mike and Fish (~5:30). At about 6:00, Fish picks up the bass, and after 7:00, the band gets into an interesting, Mike-on-guitar led atonal groove that fizzles into a puddle of chaotic abstraction.
2015-07-31	Twist	Atlanta, GA	10:25	Another great version which quickly departs the typical jam, shifts to major mode with serene and delicate play, and gradually builds power.
2015-07-31	Reba	Atlanta, GA	11:55	Great late show "Reba" arrives via a sharp -> from "BOTT." A tight composed section leads to a strong jam, with super guitar matched in equal measure by on-point, full-band play. Unsurprisingly, then - yet surprisingly! - Trey manages to squeeze "Reba's" post-jam whistling into the ensuing "Gin," with Page's outright teasing a musical exclamation point upon this historic "couplet."
2015-07-31	Gin	Atlanta, GA	12:45	Some fun teases bolster this one a bit, but the main story is the jam itself, in which Trey flexes his muscles and leads the charge to the top in a strong set-closing performance.
2015-08-07	CDT	Cuyahoga Falls, OH	15:00	Again, a jam emerges following the closing refrain. Beginning in a relaxed, minor mode groove, the mode shifts to major, and Trey works into a great theme/melody. After bringing the play to a peak and transition settling, the energy rebuilds and -> to "Tweezer."
2015-08-07	Tweezer	Cuyahoga Falls, OH	19:18	Spectacular improvisation that traverses titillating terrain before mellifluously mellowing into "Lizards."
2015-08-14	Llama	Raleigh, NC	5:14	Debut of the slow, funky Llama. See 6/29/16, 10/20/18, and 11/30/19 for other versions.
2015-08-14	Moma	Raleigh, NC	8:05	Version features an atypical jam segment which modulates to major mode, giving the jam more of a feel good sense, and less the typically rocking style.
2015-08-14	Golden Age	Raleigh, NC	13:15	Begins with some bouncy funk work and then builds into a rocking groove. Brief ambient interlude before a > to "Reba".
2015-08-14	Weekapaug	Raleigh, NC	9:42	Following some deft playing by Trey, the straightforward jam peaks, then drops into some nice "No Quarter" teasing followed by a brief, funky breakdown jam before heading home.
2015-08-21	Simple	Watkins Glen, NY	11:08	The Magnaball-opening "Simple" wastes no time in getting the festivities underway. After some standard jamming in the typical chord progression, the band opts not to resolve to F and instead stays in B-flat, churning out a fuzzy, pulsating groove led by the rhythm section.
2015-08-21	Gin	Watkins Glen, NY	22:50	Exceptional version including diverse jam segments. Hard-edged rocking, murky funk, and melodic "hose" all feature in this top-shelf "Gin".
2015-08-21	CDT	Watkins Glen, NY	18:15	Yet another "CDT" boasting a post-refrain jam, and yet again does Phish deliver the goods. The jam starts off sparsely and rebuilds to a low-key, part melodic, part hard-edged passage with a "WTU?" tease before > Ghost.
2015-08-21	NMINML	Watkins Glen, NY	11:45	Doubles down on the Mann version with two separate rock-oriented jams, occasionally hinting at the climax of "CYHMK." Returns to the "NMINML" ending twice, then dissolves into an ambient fog and -> neatly into "Slave."
2015-09-04	Gin	Commerce City, CO	11:05	Quickly picks up steam and builds into a flowing Type I jam with a sizable peak.
2015-09-04	46 Days	Commerce City, CO	10:23	Following the final refrain, a shortish but solid, percussive and initially driving jam begins to diminish, seemingly poised to explore further, but > to "Antelope" instead.
2015-09-04	Blaze On	Commerce City, CO	14:30	For the second straight time, "Blaze On" ventures into the unknown. Seven minutes in, Trey's alternative chording sends the jam off into a warped version of the central two chord theme, and the Mu-Tron and Clavinet begin their space duel. After an off-kilter build in intensity and a switch to the B-3, the jam takes on a "Light" flavor before fizzling out into the aptly titled > "Golden Age".
2015-09-04	Golden Age	Commerce City, CO	16:02	An intriguing version which drops into some contemplative space and eventually gains upbeat energy without ever totally taking off.
2016-01-01	Undermind	New York, NY	11:15	Includes an additional segment of solid Type I jamming and teases of "Stash", "STFTFP", and "HMPAY".
2016-01-01	Light	New York, NY	17:41	Trey thankfully abandons the typically atonal, dissonant "Type I" jam in favor of a more melodic and rock-oriented approach. Then Mike leads some solidly mellow grooving, before Fish steps it up into more rhythmic, percussive play. Trey hints at a peaking bliss finale, but instead sticks to the Fish plan. There is adept use of key modulation throughout this "Light."
2016-01-15	Sand	Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico	12:12	Strong peaking action in the first jam and then some growly, staccato funk in the second segment, which ultimately -> into "Ghost" stupendously.
2016-06-24	Twist	Chicago, IL	15:13	After a strong, dark, but-not-atyplical-for-"Twist" groove, the jam melts into a thumping "Ghost"-like zone before taking off for peppier, happier pastures via a "Weekapaug"-like groove (and tease) before Mike's bombs wind down yet another excellent rendition.
2016-07-01	CDT	Saratoga Springs, NY	22:37	Trey powers through "Carini" like a cold front, and a perfect storm ensues with "CDT." After breezing across familiar territory, the band embarks less upon a jam than an eclectic sort of symphony. The jam floats through a calm yet unsteady passage, atmospheric and effects-laden, before disembarking in comforting bliss, swapping instruments for a spell, and sailing into > "Caspian."
2016-07-08	Cities	Mansfield, MA	13:47	Early technical issues, a Brian Brown introduction, and a guitar switch do nothing to deter the band from taking "Cities" on a journey across the globe. Some strong but typical jamming leads to more instruments switching and the jam evolves / devolves into highly percussive near free-form jazz.
2016-07-08	Light	Mansfield, MA	19:16	Amusing vocal challenges and a slight return to atonal phrasing by Trey at first. Then this excellent jam courses through hard charging rock, start-stop "woo"-infused play, and funky, "Manteca"-like action. Serious sonic exploration as each player deploys an instrumental weapon of choice, before finally giving way to cathartic space and the rise of the "Wolfman."
2016-07-15	WTU?	George, WA	6:26	Similar in intent to 8/23/15's version - drops down to a murmur, then roars back to life. A fine version from a wonderful Set 2.
2016-07-15	Ghost	George, WA	11:52	A Useful Cross-eyed and Drowsy Ghost Goes Robo-tripping in No Ghost Land. [All "Ghost"ly signs of this tease-infused hybrid disappear shortly after the six minute mark. Trey bolts for the Marimba Lumina, Mike drops some bombs, Fish picks up the pace, Mike and Page join him on percussion, and Fish riffs vocally on "No Man In No Man's Land." By the time everyone has moved back, they're (arguably?) reprising "NMINML" proper, and by the time you realize it, they're already off into -> "CDT."]
2016-07-15	CDT	George, WA	8:20	-> from "Ghost," this spirited "CDT" finds the band working through the same three teases informing "Ghost," only in opposite. Spooky good. But there is much more to this centerpiece version than inventive teasing. Trey dominates, his playing infectious. And the band responds in kind, resulting in a huge, celebratory peak. Ethereal, effects-laden playing bleeds into "Meatstick."
2016-07-15	Meatstick	George, WA	8:36	There's a bit more heft to this outro jam than typical, most notably Trey's added Echoplex, Page's synth work, and a spacey transition > to "2001".
2016-07-15	2001	George, WA	8:25	A liquid Mike funky jam gives way to "C&P" quotes and then an absolutely filthy "NMINML" tease filled jam.
2016-07-22	SOAMule	Inglewood, CA	10:31	Perhaps beset with tech troubles throughout this show, nonetheless the "Mule" is entertaining fun, with a Page solo > Trey and Fish Marimba Lumina "Duel" > klezmer > weird Mike chanting > conclusion.
2016-08-26	Ghost	Arrington, VA	13:28	That scene in The Right Stuff where the aboriginal shaman sends the cloud of fireflies to repair the heat shield on the Mercury capsule so John Glenn can safely re-enter Earth's atmosphere. It sounded like this. [In from "Fuego" ->, the Lockn' "Ghost" starts out with some staccato MuTron work from Trey and some wah-infused Clav' from Page, before Mike and Fish shove the jam into a bright, upbeat space that Trey fills and trills with sustained joy. After a bit of "WOO!" and a McGrupp fake-out, they slide right into -> "Gin."]
2016-08-26	Gin	Arrington, VA	14:26	Mike and Fish quickly inject some spunk into this version, leading the band into a frisky groove which is contorted with loads of tension until finally pushing through to a glorious peaking section just before 11 minutes. At 12:45, a classic rock-derived outro kicks in, ultimately resulting in a > to "BDTNL".
2016-09-02	NMINML	Commerce City, CO	15:32	Fiery pre-choral jamming oozes into a prolonged and focused jam zone throbbing with psychedelic intensity (an approach not yet taken through this point in the song's history). Trey in particular is exuding a verve and tenacity wholly controlled, yet chaotic sonically.
2016-09-02	Wedge	Commerce City, CO	8:06	Swinging "Dick's" version with great trilling, "Stash" teasing, and inspired contributions from all four musicians.
2016-09-02	46 Days	Commerce City, CO	8:54	Trey restrains his playing at the outset, giving the jam a more deliberate pace and also providing space for additional band interplay. What results is a gripping, edgier take which makes the final ratchet up all the sweeter.
2016-09-02	Seven Below	Commerce City, CO	8:56	Trey plays some soaring notes throughout and builds to a pretty good peak, then leads the band into a dissonant and murky swamp from which "BOAF" emerges. A lot going on here despite the length.
2016-09-02	Tweezer	Commerce City, CO	16:56	Great intro with Trey using a wah pedal to create a cool swelling effect and the jam builds to a coordinated peak with piercing guitar and pounding drums before > to "Jim".
2016-09-02	Suzy	Commerce City, CO	7:27	Some great back and forth between the Chairman of the Boards and Fish and Trey on percussion results in an even more energized than typical version.
2016-10-14	Tube	North Charleston, SC	6:22	The band pivots from the typical funk vamp and reaches a rocking conclusion led by Trey in this verison.
2016-10-21	BOTT	Alpharetta, GA	7:32	> from "AC/DC Bag," the band is quick to capitalize upon the vibe, and creates a soupy, "southern" groove. Page keeps everyone on point; Mike and Fish provide great break back beats; and Trey shows considerable patience and restraint, bending notes and shaping his tone, his soloing adding extra swagger to the strong, straightforward play which drives this version to a close.
2016-10-21	DwD	Alpharetta, GA	21:08	Trey dominates early, powering the band through familiar ground and creating an "old school" vibe. From here, several distinct improvisational sections emerge, with strong contributions by everyone, including a masterful Marimba Lumina section a la Trey.
2016-10-21	Winterqueen	Alpharetta, GA	8:35	Airy and introspective, Mike and Fish create a space which Trey and Page fill with truly dynamic interplay. Great guitar drives this version to a strong conclusion.
2016-10-28	LxL	Las Vegas, NV	7:48	Strong interplay between Trey and Page, good syncopation, and solid Fish working like glue to hold it all together results in a quality performance.
2016-10-28	Steam	Las Vegas, NV	10:31	Really nice band interplay between verses, then a heavy fog rolls over the post-verses jam, almost "Echoes"-like in nature. Very cool effects from Trey and Page here. Strong version, especially for a first set.
2016-10-28	Golden Age	Las Vegas, NV	25:39	A multi-section, "Type II" behemoth which covers a lot of ground and peaks twice in the process. > to "Simple". Longest version to date.
2016-10-28	Light	Las Vegas, NV	13:41	Moving beyond some rocking and melodic action in the instrumental section, the jam breaks into some swirling and rhythmic play, before settling into some excellent brooding, probing and charged intergalactic space.
2016-12-30	Gin	New York, NY	13:29	Trey dazzles in this patient and well-crafted "Type I" jam reminiscent of some late 1.0 versions.
2016-12-30	Tweezer	New York, NY	16:07	The jam slowly, patiently builds before (similar to 10/19/16) plateauing mellifluously, exploding triumphantly, and seguing into "Sparks" (after Trey arguably teases "Midnight Rider" for a measure or two!).
2016-12-30	Ghost	New York, NY	16:53	Severe weather alert: if the thunder don't get you, then the lightning wheel. [Mike opens the door to a more contemplative major-key space, and Trey hits on a gorgeous repeating note pattern. Page moves to piano and the jam turns warmer and richer, then settles down into a chilled-out late-night groove. Superb version that > into a killer "Light".]
2016-12-30	Light	New York, NY	22:43	Delves into a knotty space out of the verses at Mike's urging, then Page takes the reins and he and Trey bring in a cavalcade of spacey effects and the jam gets foggier and fuzzier, Fishman hanging back and adding color rather than driving the proceedings. Resolves into an almost calypso-style space, with some dissonant and atonal playing from Trey, then slides into an upbeat zone that Trey and Page briefly sing "Party Time" vocals over. The band builds to a pretty sweet peak, we get some more "Party Time" vocals for funsies, then > into "Velvet Sea". A strong jam from a killer set.
2016-12-30	Velvet Sea	New York, NY	9:00	Extended take begins by bringing the music to hush, with dynamically delicate nuance setting the table. Trey's liquid sustain glides with Mike's economical bass fills, slowly building to a soaring conclusion.
2017-01-13	Wolfman's	Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico	12:36	Although it follows a familiar trajectory, this strong version luxuriates in the funk, before flipping the switch and peaking in celebratory good form. Trey really brings it on quite nicely.
2017-01-13	Fuego	Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico	19:53	After settling into some quieter musing, the jam takes on a percussive sense, and proceeds to build to a Trey-led, rocking peak. Gradually settling down, the jam transitions to a strong "Caspian."
2017-01-13	Caspian	Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico	9:37	> from a superb "Fuego". Trey's trilling grows nasty and dissonant at times, and Page hops on the clavinet to help lead the band into a dark and low-key groove. Fish does some fine work throughout.
2017-01-13	Twist	Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico	9:53	Floating in on the waves of a powerful "Prince Caspian" -> and staying in G, the echoing "Twist" intro leads to a tropical and topical "Tequila" jam before sliding seamlessly into "Seven Below."
2017-01-13	Seven Below	Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico	11:17	Awesome, melodic play from Trey, and we're only 2:40 in. The jam continues to impress, with Trey in total control, his precise, cerebral work matched by Mike, who also takes some seriously strong runs. Fish, of course, is great. There's super synth from Page. And Trey (7:00) introduces an incredibly cool theme, which the band shapes to its seemingly logical conclusion, ending a dulcet "suite" before > for "Golgi Apparatus."
2017-07-14	Wolfman's	Chicago, IL	11:01	Some feisty punctuation by Fish, at around 5:40, leads to some great mimic and mirror playing between Trey and Page. Adding power and pulse, Mike and Fish help bring this tasty concoction to a full boil.
2017-07-14	Everything's Right	Chicago, IL	13:42	Impressive debut. The band quickly clicks to create a chill groove, with Trey working a warm tone to solo atop steady bass, scattershot drumming, and excellent Page-propelled atmospherics. This, then, into extended trilling, which Trey distorts before breaking to assume a clean, bright line, which builds - to break - back into the jam's pulsing, Floyd-like vibe. Excellent.
2017-07-14	NMINML	Chicago, IL	15:03	Super version, which opens noticeably slower than 2016's fiery renditions. Trey augments his tone and solos with spirit, but the soul of this version arrives near the 8:00 mark, when Page moves to his synthesizer and leads the band through a spectral passage of "postmodern," improvisational sound. Liquid bass and stylized Trey work atop Fish's minimalist beat, with Page working different sonic shifts that would sound at home in a mature "IAWITW" jam. Chanting and more focused guitar return this reading to the song's coda before a bit of space informs a > into "Fuego."
2017-07-14	Your Pet Cat	Chicago, IL	6:34	The jam breaks away from the "Your Pet Cat" theme about 4 minutes in, growing warm and anthemic, then makes a surprising, Fish-led, and nifty -> into "Golden Age".
2017-07-14	Golden Age	Chicago, IL	5:49	Acts as the "meat" of a "Your Pet Cat"/"Golden Age" sandwich, with nifty segues into and out of the aforementioned "YPC".
2017-07-14	Your Pet Cat	Chicago, IL	3:30	-> back out of "Golden Age". Page's electric piano adds some great color to this half of the "Your Pet Cat"/"Golden Age" sandwich. > into the debut of "Leaves".
2017-07-21	Timber Ho	New York, NY	8:29	Unusual take. Unlike 11/16/97, which also features play that begins in traditional "Timber" style - before shifting to major mode play - here (just after the 4:00 mark) the move is neither delicate nor serene but, rather, is driven and forceful, so providing the foundation for the version's spirited conclusion.
2017-07-21	Seven Below	New York, NY	13:02	Drops into a darker zone right out of the composed section, with Trey's fine guitar work and Page's synths leading the charge. Mike helps keep the jam at a low boil, before Trey makes the call for major key and they move to a blissful jam space, if a bit more restrained than previous jams from this tour. They build to a nice peak as Trey sustains one note before heading to Allman Brothers land, then they wind to a close on a bed of synths and > into "Billy Breathes".
2017-07-28	Divided	New York, NY	16:25	After a sluggish start, Trey settles in nicely, employing huge, warm blasts of sustain. Play cools to enter a quiet passage rich with texture and great full-band play, before Trey, toying with the song's familiar meter, altering his phrasing and timing - akin to 11/9/95's sublime version - works the jam to an inspired conclusion.
2017-07-28	CDT	New York, NY	24:13	A sweeping "Type II" masterpiece brimming with inspired thematic jamming capped off with an outstanding peak. Unfinished.
2017-07-28	You Sexy Thing	New York, NY	11:02	Hot Chocolate cover (befitting that night's "Double Chocolate" theme), with Mike using every last bit of his vocal range to sing it. Just like "1999", it turns into a surprising improv vehicle, with a weird Page-led groove emerging from the back end as Trey goes to the wah-wah and utilizes his effects. The jam grows in power, then gets deep and dark, with Mike really pushing things forward. > into a great version of "Mercury", which this song actually sandwiches.
2017-07-28	You Sexy Thing	New York, NY	3:00	Hilarious -> out of "Mercury". Trey takes a soaring guitar solo, then things move into brief punchy funkiness. > into "BDTNL".
2017-07-28	BDTNL	New York, NY	9:34	Finds its footing on the outset by way of near-telepathic melodic interplay from Trey and Mike, spring boarding a ride that takes us from warm-breeze chill-mode play to inspired, spirited classic rock riffing to close.
2017-08-04	Scents and Subtle Sounds	New York, NY	16:34	Moves quickly into a sprightly upbeat zone with sharp playing from Trey and Page giving the ivories a good workout. The band shifts to a new gear and builds to a squealing fireball peak, replete with a "NMINML" tease. Downshifts into a casual, almost tropical groove (helped by Mike's relaxed basslines and Fish's metronomic work), a groove reminiscent of some 2.0 jams. > into a superb "Caspian".
2017-08-04	Caspian	New York, NY	10:06	Blistering version > from an experimental "SaSS." Trey wastes no time finding his line - a huge blast of sustain ripped from the vocal refrain - and, accompanied by pounding Page, simply lays waste to any idea of melodic variation. Incendiary soloing seems to arrive from some other place before Page moves to his keys, Trey fades, and "Caspian" sinks into an eerie sort of abyss. Dark effects and "EIIRP" quotes float to color the surface space before the band breaks for "Fluffhead."
2017-09-01	Blaze On	Commerce City, CO	13:29	Strong soloing finds Trey augmenting his tone, before crunchy soloing peels apart in favor of deft delay atop a soft bed of effects. Page then runs point, with Fish's cool, patterned drumming eventually giving way to a passage of swirling calm. Intensity builds via strong and spacey full-band play, featuring notable bass. Trey breaks free and works the version to a peak and the song's closing refrain.
2017-09-01	Theme	Commerce City, CO	9:20	Fluid jam, with Trey running through an airy, lilting line, his play accented by colorful fills from Page. After shaping his tone and working the version to a peak, Trey > for a fresh "Free", further toying with his effects, and working his Korg Kaoss Pad a bit like an instrument. Cool combo.
2017-09-01	Tube	Commerce City, CO	10:00	Breaking directly to work through a wacky passage echo-rich and colored with wild effects, Trey eventually picks up a bright, spirited line, and leads the band through fun and impassioned major-mode play. An unusual period of quiet and contemplative calm follows, which slowly gives rise to a return of the song proper.
2017-09-01	NMINML	Commerce City, CO	23:46	Awash in 2017's signature synth and Trey's latest effects, an example, here, of space down to a science. As Page explores his keyboards, Trey sheds the guitar and uses a new device to create a hushed, astral plane. Back on guitar, Trey guides the musicians, who together shape a celebratory peak.
2017-09-01	Carini	Commerce City, CO	21:20	Typically stormy, tense playing gradually mellows to some spacey grooving. Picking up a warmer vibe, the intensity slowly builds to a rocking, but not bliss-filled peak, with strong Mike and Fish. The energy eventually dissipates to percussive transitional space.
2017-12-29	CDT	New York, NY	21:02	Drops into a spartan jam right out of the gate, then makes a move to a major-key jam via some memorably neat playing from Trey. A relaxed low-key groove emerges, led by Fish's insistent rhythms and Mike's melodic basslines, then Trey steps back in front and drives the jam to a triumphant peak before maneuvering into "Ghost". Very fine version.
2017-12-29	SOAMelt	New York, NY	13:14	Departs standard "SOAM" rather quickly and dips into some nebulous improvisation which straddles the line between light and dark before growing more tense and returning home.
2018-07-20	Set Your Soul Free	George, WA	8:40	Phish debut
2018-07-20	Simple	George, WA	14:40	Quickly leaves blissful "Simple" jamming behind and steadily gains intensity with a dark undercurrent en route to a rocking peak and then returns to the song's riff to close.
2018-07-20	CDT	George, WA	23:31	A few minutes into the jam, Page's synth leads Mike into the goop. The jam trots along back in a shuffle, flirting with the grimy depths until 12:30 when the hose engages. Building with patience and poise, a massive bliss jam with multiple celebratory peaks ensues. Trey sustains a note to signal the highest and longest peak; this dissolves into a plinko jam driven primarily by Page and Mike, who make it spacey. > "My Friend, My Friend."
2018-07-27	Simple	Inglewood, CA	10:36	Gets beyond standard "Simple" in a hurry, first taking on a more rocking vibe and then traversing a groove producing themes reminiscent of the Island Tour Roses before spacing out and > "Ghost".
2018-08-03	Ghost	Alpharetta, GA	20:50	Galaga and Zaxxon battle Space Invaders in the resplendent Echoes of an exploding Dark Star. [One may not need not a chamber to be haunted, but the best Ghosts - at least of late (and for sure: this is one of the best) - appear orchestral in nature. Fluid, nebulous, and wholly organic, deep brain-grooves give rise to a series of music images which, like paper dipped in water, slowly form to bloom, presenting a picture of exactly what this band is capable of, whatever the set, and whatever the year. (This, and the closing refrain is both chill and humorous.)]
2018-08-03	Tweezer	Alpharetta, GA	16:52	Effect-heavy improv with layers of sounds eventually climbs, and builds, soaring to a blissful, thematic peak before grooving to an albeit brief return to the "Tweezer" theme.
2018-08-03	Carini	Alpharetta, GA	20:24	After a stereotypically dark "Carini" jam, a happy groove quickly develops thanks to strong Trey-Mike interplay. An extended passage of very quiet and mellow jamming follows, eventually rising in energy roughly halfway through the jam as Trey goes whale call and Page switches focus to piano. The first intense peak washes over, coursing on the back of Fishman's ride and intense whale call. Three short minutes of peaking wind down to ambient space, only to be propelled straight back up thanks to Mike and Page directing the jam into a new key. A quiet-yet-plinko jam develops as the energy builds on Fish's polyrhythmic snare and cymbal work. Flirting with darkness for some time, the jam eventually yields to murk, grime, and effects-laden darkness before finally winding down to Trey-based loops and Page on the organ.
2018-08-10	NICU	Raleigh, NC	9:03	Neat outro jam that prods and probes in a few different directions. > to "Thread".
2018-08-31	Hood	Commerce City, CO	13:13	Placed in the first set of a two-set show for the first time in 3.0, this jam combines an engaging "Type II" segment with a well-executed traditional build and soaring peak.
2018-08-31	NMINML	Commerce City, CO	12:26	Tight, structured play breaks to, in a way, display 2018's sound in a nifty ten- (or something) minute package. Effects-driven Trey; swirling Page; utterly tripped-out Mike; and fun Fish swap sounds before Trey steers the jam through a passage of "noise rock" into the now customary "fresh" take on the closing vocal refrain.
2018-08-31	Carini	Commerce City, CO	18:56	A statement jam from Trey who takes the reins and solos extensively en route to a euphoric peak.
2018-08-31	Light	Commerce City, CO	17:26	Historic (the first "Light" to close a second set), the version caps an incredible evening of music. > from a hot "Mercury", the band refuses to cool, working through complex, patterned passages, some symphonic, others psychedelic in nature. Worth multiple listens, locking in on each musician provides a truly wonderful experience. In tremendous, show-closing fashion, play eventually brightens as Trey patiently builds the jam to a euphoric, and protracted, release.
2018-10-19	Undermind	Hampton, VA	9:24	Solid, straightforward version with varied jamming and a nice, Trey-led peaking section. Mike and Fish are noticeably strong.
2018-10-19	Golden Age	Hampton, VA	23:21	Aggressively experimental "anti-bliss" jamming begins with angular grooves and then takes a rare deep dive into the abyss with plentiful space effects and "Shipwreck" quotes. Resurfaces > "Twist".
2018-10-26	Reba	Rosemont, IL	13:59	Airy grooves and sprite melodies create that quintessential sort of spirit, Mike's play on point and off-beat, driving an august sort of improvisation which, in time, Trey works to a truly impassioned conclusion.
2018-10-26	Mercury	Rosemont, IL	18:39	A patient journey ensues as "Mercury" builds off of its straightforward jam. Just prior to the 13:00 mark, the music goes "Type II" by way of a smooth major key modulation. Page's synthesizers then envelop the music, as Trey melodically trills on top. This then transitions into a hazily introspective, yet muscular groove that puddles into "Moonage Daydream."
2018-10-26	Tweezer	Rosemont, IL	21:30	The band, like one organism, seemingly processes varying properties of a periodic waveform, or signals that contain vital information, to be shared with some other, astral, life forms. Trey shines, but all four clearly articulate, or inform the several structures, or forms of this "Tweezer's" many "pieces," which, so sutured, create a sonic sort of euphoria (the audience reactions are truly memorable).
2018-10-26	Golden Age	Rosemont, IL	16:39	> from "Tweezer." The jam embarks on a dynamic ride, traveling from cascading ear candy loops via Trey, to an effect-drenched minor key groove that patiently builds to a rousing peak. The music then cools into chilly ambience before appropriately moving into "Frost."
2018-11-02	Mercury	Las Vegas, NV	24:29	The first segment consists of strong and varied "Mercury" style jamming, highlighted by a hypnotic groove in the 13th minute. After regrouping at 15:30 the song's theme returns but in a major key and propels the jam to a peak and a bit of echoey play at the tail end before > "Suzy".
2018-11-02	Soul Planet	Las Vegas, NV	16:04	Soaring, anthemic play from Trey combined with gooey bass from Mike highlight this second set opening version. After a mini-peak, the jam eventually fizzles to > "Down With Disease".
2018-12-28	Set Your Soul Free	New York, NY	15:40	Synth lord Page pushes the jam to light and airy bliss pastures. Mike teams up with Fish's ride cymbal to create a delicate pad upon which Trey launches layers of whale call on the backs of delay. Mike uses effects to create a reverberant wash that blanket the fray; this leads to a passage marked by heavy rhythmic downbeats.
2019-02-22	Tube	Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico	8:59	A quality jam with an uncommonly subdued tone seems to momentarily wind down at 5:15 before launching into another round of synth-groove and builds to a rocking finale capped by strong Trey leads.
2019-02-22	Set Your Soul Free	Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico	25:53	Massive Set 2 opener. Pivots into a gritty and nasty jam at Mike's urging, which gets very heavy (and a tad flubby) as Trey takes control. A gnarled groove emerges, with Page laying on the electric piano extra thick, and then Trey pivots into major-key territory. The jam grows warm and pleasant as Mike moves into the lead, Page throwing in a carnivalesque ambiance, then Trey starts firing off some crunchy solos and we enter the wonderful land of hard rocking. A few "woos" are goosed, then Page hits on some ascending not unlike "Tweezer Reprise" and the jam peaks in wonderful fashion. > into an equally outstanding "Mercury".
2019-02-22	Mercury	Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico	22:05	Great Version. > from a huge "SYSF," play breaks free around 10:00, Trey's tone warm, rife with melody, floating atop waves of Page's now signature keys. With a series of licks Trey pushes play forward, the jam builds in energy, before a huge blast of sustain peels apart (with Page now on his piano) into one of "Mercury's" finer moments. Play rocks, with the band alighting upon a sudden, and infectious groove. Pretty cool. > "Slave."
2019-06-14	Everything's Right	Manchester, TN	14:04	A hidden gem in a stand-alone festival set. Buried 9 minutes in is an abrupt but welcome left turn to blissier grooves, and multiple pleasant and sizable peaks unfold on the back of Mike's rolling bass. At 11:20, a thematic tone poem introduced by Trey builds up to a sustain-drenched peak.
2019-06-21	Runaway Jim	Charlotte, NC	18:39	A number of recent versions (see: 7/25/18 and 10/20/18) demonstrate the band's renewed interest in one of their finest compositions. Given your preference (the spirited first "half" of early-90's "Runaway Foams," or the crazed, free-form improvisation found within something like Shoreline 1997's II-opening jam), the band delivers an exciting amount of content, befitting triumphant "Funiculi Funicula" teasing. The entire ride is worthy of attention, but, true to 2019's style, Phish squeezes out an incredible amount of interesting improvisation, so remain tuned in to the outro, which doesn't so much fade as hint at a "DDLJ" before > "SaSS."
2019-06-21	ASIHTOS	Charlotte, NC	10:06	Wastes no time moving to a warm major key jam (with charming "If I Only Had A Brain" teases) that picks up speed and gets almost tropical at Page's urging, before shifting to some tasty rocking out and letting Mike really shine. A lot of meat packed into a smaller frame.
2019-06-21	Possum	Charlotte, NC	12:20	> from "20 Years Later." After a normal start to the song, at 5:50 the band shifts to a quiet, minimalist jam for about a minute. At this point, Trey starts singing the words to "Have Mercy" over the jam and the rest of the band follows suit. "Have Mercy" is sung over the jam for a moment, and then more typical "Possum" play until the song is brought to a rousing conclusion.
2019-06-28	Mercury	Camden, NJ	20:40	Typically impressive play splits open and melts into one of the summer's more interesting extended improvisational passages. Around the 14:00 mark Mike works his effects and Trey follows suit, a bit of lead bass fronting a super bit of creativity which toys with the song's melodic variation, at times funky, at others maintaining a bit of delay-heavy darkness, before the jam, ultimately, moves from a carnival-vibe to become joyous. In other words: More Great Phish.
2019-06-28	NMINML	Camden, NJ	11:09	Relatively short but very sweet. Around 4:30 in, the jam takes a turn to a driving groove in A, which the band weaves into darker territory. Dominated by swirls in the key of Mike and thick Clavinet work, the jam weaves back to a happier bliss key around 6 minutes in. Trey goes for swirly Leslie tone before a soaring bliss lead propels to the heavens on the back of Page's piano. Finally paying off with a big sustained note around 7 minutes in, celebratory and continued peaking winds back into the verse at 9:30.
2019-07-05	Mercury	Boston, MA	19:58	Extended take gradually leaves "Mercury" proper behind with some amorphous riffing and then enters an ethereal passage with meditative bass and searching guitar leads over a bountiful bed of church-like organ tones.
2019-08-30	Everything's Right	Commerce City, CO	17:24	A jam so laid-back, one could be forgiven for thinking this was played on a beach instead of a mile above sea level. The jam features sparkling play from Page. "ER" serves as the first half of a fantastic 1-2 punch before > a big-time "Mercury".
2019-08-30	Mercury	Commerce City, CO	23:50	> from a strong set-opening "Everything's Right", this version features over fifteen minutes of quality jamming after the song proper. Trey's play is inspired throughout, he leads the band in and out of multiple sections as the jam traverses many soundscapes. A standout version with excellent jamming, which eventually dissolves > "Shade".
2019-11-29	BOTT	Providence, RI	7:53	Instead of the typical, crescendo-oriented jam, here the band breaks into an atypical major mode jam, providing a warm and more relaxing sentiment.
2019-11-29	Plasma	Providence, RI	13:42	Better late than never, "Plasma" now seems a Phish (centerpiece) staple. Here, the band drops immediately from the song's signature licks to enter a synth-driven exploration, with major (or minor) "Crosseyed and Painless" undertones. Ever percussive, and, as always, interesting, a full-band psychedelic swirl peels apart as Trey shape shifts, his soloing brightening to inform, with Page's carnival-esque keys, a fun, celebratory vibe.
2019-12-06	Destiny	North Charleston, SC	9:50	> from "I Been Around." Trey plays a note at the 4:48 mark that indicates this version will be different than previous iterations. Mike takes the lead on the full band jam, coupled with soaring play from Trey. While the return to the song isn't the cleanest, it can be overlooked due to the song finally getting taken for the proverbial ride.
2019-12-06	Scents and Subtle Sounds	North Charleston, SC	18:48	Fire jam, with Trey out front, confident and in control. A tease-seeker's paradise, Trey hints at "Suzy," "Axilla," and who knows how many other sounds. Play reminiscent of "Sparks" gives way to a full spaciousness typical of the band's best playing, with the four working as one, in lieu of yielding room - wonderful. Mike's seismic line signals a shift to darker, stormier terrain which calms before brightening into more teasing, fun stop/start jamming, super percussion, and funky Page. > "No Quarter." Mission Accomplished.
2019-12-06	LxL	North Charleston, SC	13:15	Around 4:45, the playing peels away from typical "LxL," becoming more rocking at first, then mellowing into a jazzy groove with moments of brightness. The energy and intensity builds, with strong Mike and Fish, before Fish starts singing "This Old Man" and the playing transitions > "The Lizards".
2020-02-21	Gin	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	16:16	An early key change signals this won't be a typical rendition, and the jam takes on a relaxed pace providing lots of room for an easy-going groove to unfold. After 10:30 the momentum picks up with some rapidly repeating delays from Trey and gets heavier from there until -> "Shafty".
2020-02-21	Shafty	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	1:52	Trey works "Shafty" into the height of "Gin's" jam for a quick run-through before -> back to "Gin".
2020-02-21	Gin	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	0:55	-> from "Shafty" to wrap up with "Gin's" closing riff.
2020-02-21	Blaze On	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	12:35	Trey pivots the band into a major key jam as warm as the Mexico waters, layering on the effects to really add ambiance. Page's synths take center stage and help bring some weirdness into the proceedings, with Mike going to the envelope filter and Fish neatly holding down the form. The jam gets darker and nastier as Mike takes center stage, then gently winds down before Page starts up "Sea and Sand". A very strong first set version.
2020-02-21	2001	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	12:15	> from "Sigma Oasis." Another year in Mexico features another huge "2001." Mercifully, only one round of "Woos" are heard before the band breaks into a funky-as-hell "Another One Bites The Dust" jam. > to "Drift While You're Sleeping."
2020-02-21	Weekapaug	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	10:59	After some nice "NMINML" vocal quoting, the jam takes on a relaxed, more groovy vibe than the typical high energy "Weekapaug." At 7:00, the jam breaks just beyond the norm, exploring some percussive, rocking terrain before veering, unfinished, into "Shafty."
2021-07-30	BOTT	Pelham, AL	6:29	While Trey always seems at ease playing "BOTT," the first of several Summer 21 fire versions may be the finest, featuring deft and nimble musicianship that carries over into other Phish classics like "Foam" and "Fluffhead." Page's impossibly fun work on the Wurlitzer makes recommending this jam a no-brainer.
2021-07-30	Carini	Pelham, AL	24:59	The first of several strong outings for "Carini" in Summer '21 and the longest version to date is chock-full of melodious interplay in all stages and features key elements that would reappear as signature sounds of the tour - namely Trey's octave down throaty tone and quickfire delay riffs. At 19:30 Trey pushes for a more familiar peaking section but it pays off handsomely thanks to some expertly delivered trills.
2021-07-30	Golden Age	Pelham, AL	11:55	Doesn't stray very far from the usual boundaries of "Golden Age", but does make feints towards "Mind Left Body" and features some very fancy rhythmic games from Fishman and lovely piano work from Page before very briefly blooming into major key and settling into "Mountains in the Mist".
2021-08-06	Wolfman's	Noblesville, IN	12:02	The jam follows a fairly typical funky and crunchy path until around 8:00, when lift off is achieved. A strong peak ensues before downshifting to close.
2021-08-06	Sand	Noblesville, IN	14:14	The actual "Sand" proper is taken at a slower and milkshake-thick pace, and the band luxuriates in the usual "Sand" jam until about the 7:30 mark, when Trey hits on a particularly gorgeous major-key riff and the band follows him to a very pretty space. Page's work on the keys and Mike's rock-steady accompaniment are what to look out for here. Pretty strong peak at the end, too.
2021-08-06	WotC	Noblesville, IN	12:28	Fish adds an extended flourish on the snare at 7:02, which is only a brief look at his fantastic work during this version. He's matched by some aggressive play from Trey in a jam that stays within the bounds of the song.
2021-08-06	Blaze On	Noblesville, IN	27:07	The first of the two monster jams upon which the reputation of 8/6/21 II sits. Immediately moves into a more low-key zone out of the usual jam, with Page stepping to the forefront on both electric piano and synths and Mike adding some real hip-shaking funkiness to the proceedings. Trey finds a new key, but the funkiness stays intact as Fish kicks into a new gear, and then Trey finds a really neat riff and the band catches on as the jam molds itself around that tropically flavored riff. The jam grows in power and then moves into another danceable segment at Mike's urging, with Trey moving to his effects, then Page goes major key and the band dances around "Mind Left Body" once again before hitting a superb peak and heading home. Absolutely majestic version.
2021-08-06	Simple	Noblesville, IN	23:31	Why we travel from points far and wide to Noblesville, Indiana. Pick a timestamp. 6.37 finds Trey alighting upon a lovely, carefree vibe. Jump to 10.35, and the band is moving through a passage of gnarly, tripped-up disco funk. 12.45 finds Trey (and listen to Page!) working his pedals like it's 1995. Or something. 15.15 features Trey shearing sound, the band deep in psychedelic play that makes recent Melts blush (the focus / the cohesion). Pick a point and it just might be your favorite .... Before the band, taking a victory lap, returns to simply sing us back home.
2021-08-13	Blaze On	Atlantic City, NJ	13:14	Makes a pretty sweet move to major key bliss before Trey switches on his fancy pedals and does some pretty nifty soloing and the band heads back to "Blaze On" proper. A more concentrated dose of the diffuse improvisation of the 8/6/21 "Blaze On".
2021-08-13	Tweezer	Atlantic City, NJ	22:10	Soulful, soaring soloing by Trey with fierce accompaniment, this second-set-opening version arguably stays "Type I" but still delivers. Oh, if every 20 min version could pay off like this.
2021-08-13	Gin	Atlantic City, NJ	13:45	At around 7:45, the jam peels away from the typical "Gin" jam and shifts into a rolling, swinging groove. The music builds to an effects-infused peak before winding down into transition space.
2021-08-27	WTU?	George, WA	9:07	Bettered in length only by 6/25/00 thanks to an atypically long and varied regrouping after the near-silence around 2:25. An ethereal journey worthy of the Gorge.
2021-08-27	Camel Walk	George, WA	16:54	One of 1997's signature moments, Trey employs "Camel Walk" to push Pranksters off the stage and usher in a new era. Decades later, "Camel Walk" remains a centerpiece song, the funk just as deep, with Trey's plucky play sprite atop Fish's steady, infectious beat. In time, Page bathes the stage in sound as the jam, in what has become typical '21 fashion, breaks free to inhabit wide-ranging space and super sonic pastures before -> "CDT."
2021-08-27	CDT	George, WA	13:11	-> from a GOAT "Camel Walk," the band breaks for "CDT," a song that Trey, when recently discussing his band's early 90s ascendancy, called their best. Still crazy good after all these years, here the band offers a quiet, restrained take, improvisation lightyears removed from Alpharetta's historic jaunt, but no less interesting. An interesting juxtaposition demonstrating a band back at the height of their collective powers. While truly a unique take, fans of this approach would do well to visit 6.19.19, which, unusual in its own right, quietly veers into "STTTL."
2021-09-03	Carini	Commerce City, CO	21:47	A real superb tour for "Carini" arguably peaks at Dick's with this Set 1 closer, which moves from major-key fare to a powerful and ferocious rockout egged on by the rhythm section to a twinkling Moment of Bliss to aliens-descending strangeness to a triumphant finale to (once again) "Carini" proper to finish up. A magnificent jam from the fantastic Dick's 2021 run.
2021-09-03	CDT	Commerce City, CO	20:15	Moves into a sparse and low-key jam space with Trey going to his bag of tricks and Page neatly accompanying him on electric piano, while Fish absolutely hammers the skins in a way you don't hear in other jams this tour. The band luxuriates in this delightful jam before Trey hits on some chords akin to "Blaze On", Page goes to the synths, and the jam picks up the pace before galloping to the finish line. Twenty minutes long and feels like twelve, a hallmark of Summer 2021.
2021-10-15	Mercury	Sacramento, CA	18:36	Shifts into major in the 10-minute range and comfortably coasts along until a spark sends the jam to new heights, reaching a nice peak around 15:00 and then returns home.
2021-10-15	Piper	Sacramento, CA	13:12	> from "Billy Breathes". Fish's playing stands out early in the jam as he is utterly relentless. Trey plays a soaring melody around 9:05 to shift the jam in a new direction; Fish's relentless play remains unfazed. Around 12:00, the jam downshifts and eventually > into "Ghost".
2021-10-15	Brother	Sacramento, CA	7:59	Although Trey tries to segue into Brother out of Tube's jam (which is insane, no drummer could pull that off smoothly, not even Fish), and it takes awhile for them to begin Brother (more or less) properly, Trey SHREDS THE JAM of this version using the Shakedown-esque envelope filter, wahwah effect.
2021-10-22	Martian Monster	Phoenix, AZ	7:03	Makes a surprising move out of the usual funk of "Martian Monster" into a crunchier groove, with Mike in particular doing some cool stuff. Grows more upbeat thanks to Page, then Trey leads them into "Soul Planet" via a nice segue.
2021-10-22	Soul Planet	Phoenix, AZ	18:28	"Hmm... this jam is okay, I can imagine many of my friends lapping this up but I'm mostly disintere-SWEET HEAVENLY LORD THIS FINAL PEAK IS AMAZING."
2021-10-22	Everything's Right	Phoenix, AZ	26:03	A long-winded journey through vignettes of constantly shifting happy and dark textures. Various peaks dominated by lush synth textures and whale call, all driven by the motor of Fish's cymbal work. Back half of the jam is dominated by a rhythmic pattern that would feel right at home in an extended "Chalk Dust Torture" as it does here.
2021-10-29	Axilla (Part II)	Las Vegas, NV	21:23	Punishing play, typical of the song, cools. Out, then, from the song's familiar closing refrain, Trey shapes his tone, his sound heavy as a stone, and offset by spaceage Page. On-point (somewhat incendiary) Fish, Mike anchors what becomes an oozing, liquid event. Lazer-like, the band enters a jam that evokes Floyd inside the walls of a cave, with terrific lead Fish. Listen again and again - Trey is so inventive - as there is always something different to hear, or say.
2021-10-29	Mike's	Las Vegas, NV	12:56	On the heels of a towering "Axilla II" jam, this "Mike's" starts with a distinct funky groove which soon evokes "Martian Monster" before returning to more typical play through 6:45. From there, the jam switches to major for a playful and increasingly suspended-in-air feel until the closing chords.
2021-10-29	Weekapaug	Las Vegas, NV	12:09	A squirrely little Paug, the version closes out a terrific, traditional, "Mike's Groove." Too hot to quite enter stop / start play, the band comes close, before Trey breaks to solo. Nimble and spirited, many notes inform play both cerebral and danceable - the best kind of Phish - improvisation, with Fish consistently as ever attacking his kit. With Mike in check, and Page pivoting from keys to piano, Trey alights upon a melody he deems fit to follow. Play cools to pause before, terifficaly, returning to [plus some goofy banter] refrain.
2021-10-29	I Always Wanted It This Way	Las Vegas, NV	13:23	High-energy set-closer delivers a rousing jam that gets beyond the usual techno-synth into a pumping euphoric blowout.
2021-10-29	Ass Handed	Las Vegas, NV	5:57	A fun little amuse-bouche to a superb second set, as the band really leans into the hard-rock outro to "Ass Handed" proper, Fishman snapping into a tasty groove while Mike takes point on the jam. Short but sweet. > into "Tweezer".
2021-10-29	Tweezer	Las Vegas, NV	19:33	After beginning ordinarily enough, the jam eventually takes-on a Trey-led melodic theme reminiscent of "hose" improvisation, yet the "type I" form is maintained in a compellingly fierce manner. This theme-jam takes over four minutes to begin peaking, soaring, in a dizzyingly beautiful fashion, and then Trey turns on the syrupy envelope-filter effect, and Mike begins playing lead fucking bass, with fantastic accompaniment from Page, who then begins soloing a bit over this incredible groove being laid down by Mike, Trey and Fish around 16 mins in. Spine-tinglingly cool, repetitive, grooving takes over, and Trey begins soloing melodically o'er it before Fish returns to Tweezer's drum line, and the jam dissolves away as Trey nearly teases "Lifeboy" before Bitch begins. It's a safe bet that if this sick improv doesn't move you, then 4.0 Phish is not for you.
2021-10-29	Reba	Las Vegas, NV	14:13	Like all things '21, "Reba" - here perfectly placed - has been touched by Trey's grace. Solid play breaks for a jam we haven't seen too often of late, a simple bit of riffing, or vamping, with Trey here or there adding notes atop a bedrock beat. Terrific. Perfectly paced, Trey's marvelous tone offset by Page's perfect fills, terrific Mike, and scattershot Phish, the band, even before the banter, drives to a nice peak.
2021-10-29	Sand	Las Vegas, NV	12:00	Trey wastes no time getting a "Tweezer" tease in, kicking off a "blissy" jam. No longer chained to the song's bass line, Mike has some very inventive play. The "bliss" gives way to Trey going heavy on his effects, and eventually -> "Tweezer."
2021-10-29	Tweezer	Las Vegas, NV	4:59	After Sand peaks and "goes type II," Trey leads the full-band back into Tweezer at 11:53 of the Sand (LivePhish timing; fwiw the fact that this isn't tracked on LivePhish explains why Phish.net does not rely on LP tracking for setlist purposes---it can be demonstrably, objectively, Wrong). This renewed Tweezer jam cooks for many minutes before the key modulates in "type II" fashion and the groove melodically soars anew, with a wondrously smooth segue into Sigma Oasis.
2021-10-29	Walk Away	Las Vegas, NV	8:10	Having found a home as the S2 closer in its last three apearances, this "Walk Away" really loads the spring, finally relenting for a well-earned peak and walk off the stage.
2021-12-31	YEM	Lititz, PA	21:35	An unprecedented version. Although the opening composed section is loose, and the jam segment is quite smooth and perfunctory, and the "bass and drums" segment is relatively straightforward, the "vocal jam" section begins unaccompanied as it ordinarily would, but soon becomes, in effect, a "second jam" if you will, with Fish in particular scatting during its opening minute. This jam cooks and soars, with Trey deploying the echoplex for several minutes over magnificent accompaniment by Mike, Page and Fish, before the groove mellifluously melts into --> "Frankie Says."
2022-02-25	Halley's	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	14:25	Page shining through before song proper is even over with extra effects and punchy playing. the laid back jam slowly decreases in tempo and is replete with nifty licks from Trey and neat synth work by Trey. It eventually dissolves into a segue so smooth you won't see it coming -> "S.A.N.T.O.S."
2022-02-25	DwD	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	25:01	After a pretty intense run-through of a typical "Disease" jam, the play downshifts around 9:30, showcasing subtle band interplay and dynamics shifts, ultimately finding a closing theme in the latter stages and > "BDTNL".
2022-02-25	Carini	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	20:00	This full-band jam takes a couple different turns before a dream-like last five minutes featuring some delicate, ethereal play. Interplay between Trey and Page on the piano takes center stage before the jam comes to a growling end.
2022-02-25	ASIHTOS	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	11:55	Capping a strong set, this historic version, the first "ASITHOS" to close a show, works well in this important role. Dark, swirling, and effects-laden jamming, wholly dominated by Trey, builds to a series of powerful peaks, Page's accents sublime, the play bright-white, Slave-Like and running, running, and running, leaving all feeling good.
2022-04-22	Axilla (Part II)	New York, NY	10:15	An extended take on the usual outro drifts into a hypnotic haze which Trey cuts through with melodic leads, buoyed by ample synthesizer and "Quadrophonic Toppling" quotes.
2022-04-22	Set Your Soul Free	New York, NY	21:28	Effortless. Path of least resistance. Call it what you will, but few songs of late (and "SYSF" is a cool song, as is) offer more by way of "invitation" to pure, effortless jamming. Tune in around 9:15 for some sonic shimmer so lovely that "Happy Birthday" feels like a natural extension, a before and an after. From here Trey and Fish sync up, the improvisation seemingly calculated, or locked in - a sound, in times, reminiscent of the last big "Taste" explored in the Garden. An organism. Content to let it grow, Trey and Fish (listen to him splash away) team to work through incredibly introspective scattershot play that builds and builds, Page hammering on his piano, Mike in tow, before releasing sound arriving in a cool, whitewashed glow - an outro which, artfully tended, becomes the wonderful groundwork for a > into a magic "Light."
2022-04-22	Light	New York, NY	16:11	Drifts into some sweet major-key jamming before Fish goes calypso mode and the band hits on a really danceable groove. Trey then switches his playing to "anthemic" mode, and the band hits on a powerful "Roll With The Changes"-esque jam. Very powerful music. > into an equally fantastic "Fuego".
2022-04-22	Fuego	New York, NY	15:49	Charming in-song moment as Trey snickers over the "world's greatest dad" line (it was his daughter Bella's birthday). The song itself is shaky, but after some regularly strong "Fuego" jamming Trey starts laying on some very thick riffs as Mike maneuvers the jam into choppier waters, then the bottom drops out and an ambient, almost industrial jam emerges, with effects flying everywhere and Fishman thundering away 12/30/12 "Carini" style. > into "WTU?".
2022-04-22	Sand	New York, NY	12:59	An extremely efficient jam that concisely hits on a lot of sweet mini-movements beginning with a bubbly major groove at 4:20. Later returns to minor tonality with an edge and Trey finds a nice descending theme.
2022-04-22	SOAMelt	New York, NY	12:34	Writer @waxbanks one said "Tweezer" is Phish's "Dark Star." Agree or disagree, he had a way with words. Agree or disagree, it's tough to argue that "Melt," of late, has assumed a musical form, like Dead jamming, tricky to articulate. Perhaps a moment more significant thematically than musically - kelp descended from above the band during the song, and fell to the stage after the song, and set, was over. Or: Another spacey foray absent tension and release, music interested in sonic exploration and waves of possibility.
2022-05-27	Soul Planet	Orange Beach, AL	17:38	A handful of peaks scattered about a casual stroll through multiple musical ideas, both major and minor. Towards the back end, the jam becomes upbeat and bubbly and segues -> into "Quadrophonic Toppling".
2022-05-27	Quadrophonic Toppling	Orange Beach, AL	1:57	Emerges -> out "Soul Planet's" jam for only its second full-throated performance alongside a bevy of Fish's samples and -> back to "Soul Planet".
2022-05-27	Soul Planet	Orange Beach, AL	1:11	-> from "Quadrophonic Toppling" to bookend "Soul Planet's" jam.
2022-05-27	CDT	Orange Beach, AL	17:03	-> out of "SaSS". Goes grimy and effects-laden right out of the verses, Mike stepping to the forefront, then moves into a low-key upbeat groove. Things grow hazy and warm, almost ambient, and Fish picks up the pace to change the tenor of the jam. Page lays on the synths thick and heavy and something out of a monster movie soundtrack emerges, before Trey steers the jam back to "CDT" for the ending. Heavy stuff.
2022-06-03	Mull	Noblesville, IN	11:37	A surprise is in store for those expecting the "Mike song" of the set to be standard fare (it was his birthday, after all). Mike and Trey are both in attack mode, which sets the stage for Mull getting its first extended treatment. If you like jams from out-of-the-box songs, this is for you.
2022-06-03	Ruby Waves	Noblesville, IN	11:01	"Ruby Waves" asserted itself early as a Phish staple, and the song's versatility, as evinced on 12/30/19, and again, here, seemingly cements its status as part of the new Phish order. Powerhouse play, replete with "Lizards" licks and impassioned improvisation, creates, a la "CDT," a new sort of joy, erasing anything by way of sentimentality and flips the set, which unfurls as if from an earlier era.
2022-07-22	Golgi	Bethel, NY	6:38	While there are scores of clever ways to approach this surprise show opener, it's simple enough to say that those with a stub in hand were on hand for some of the summer's best music. Forget that those who simply love the song heard precision play; Trey, post some of his coolest rhythm guitar (it's such a great song), tacks on an utterly atypical jam segment, but one that, like charming a snake, feels mesmerizing, organic, and pure. And the crowd is there to help stick the landing. What a terrific moment. (See 8.6.22 for more fun play.)
2022-07-22	Sample	Bethel, NY	14:18	> from a jammed out "Golgi Apparatus", the band plays what was at the time the longest version of "Sample" to date. Some slinky work by Page kicks this jam off and the rest of the band follows suit. The jam eventually winds its way back to the song proper, as was custom in Summer '22.
2022-07-22	Gumbo	Bethel, NY	9:23	In a summer full of surprise jamming tunes, the return of the "Gumbo" jam is surely one of the most welcome for fans of the song's output from '97-'03. This longest version since that heyday (now surpassed) touches on familiar staccato funk and upbeat calypso before ending with a rough-and-tumble -> to "Saw it Again".
2022-07-22	Timber Ho	Bethel, NY	8:37	Before there was "Plasma," Phish explored similar sonic terrain via "Timber," a soulful cover with dark undertones, rich and dynamic Fish, a tune affording space for Trey to deliver some of his most devilish licks. No surprise, then, that following one of 22's most inventive opening sequences, the "science" here so applies, a version arguably featuring the best "Timber" full-band improvisation since... Well, who cares: Just tune in for some of the Finest in the Nation.
2022-07-22	YEM	Bethel, NY	24:17	The ongoing "YEM" revolution of '21-22 continues in the idyllic setting of Bethel Woods. After a competent if not perfect composed section, the band delivers a potent Type 1 romp in the post-tramps jam. This then gives way to a lively, if brief Drums and Bass section with Mike slathering edgy distortion all over the place. A brief vocal jam ensues, followed by Trey picking up his guitar and building a 60s soul-esque groove out of the VJ ether. This builds to an uplifting, spirited jam with multiple Trey-led peaks.
2022-07-29	Rise/Come Together	Raleigh, NC	20:45	A long way from 17's debut (which many, at the time, felt like an extension of "Mercury," the -> was that smooth) this Trey-fav "rises" above ordinary anthemic set-closing love and light to become yet another surprising musical odyssey, more proof that post-Covid Phish is infused with fresh ideas and all songs are immune from mediocrity.
2022-07-29	BBFCFM	Raleigh, NC	2:55	The verses are played in a new arrangement, as @Sniff notes, perhaps more in the style of Dead Kennedy's than Husker Du, and gives this version a classic proto hardcore breakdown sound.
2022-08-05	Sand	Atlantic City, NJ	11:19	After a brief passage of standard "Sand" fare, the music modulates at 5:15 for major key. The band immediately locks onto an anthemic chord progression, with Page's grand piano bed providing a solid platform for Trey's soaring guitar. The main "Sand" riff reappears at the 10 minute mark, as the tune patiently winds down. > "Plasma."
2022-08-05	Sigma Oasis	Atlantic City, NJ	21:29	A multi-sectioned monstrosity emerges from the Atlantic City Beach. The jam begins in familiar, but strong territory with excellent melodic interplay. The music grows deeper as Trey and Mike dip into their effects. Shortly after the 14 minute mark, Fishman blasts the band off into hyperspace via a double time tempo change. An aggressive and high energy jam follows, evocative of 2.0 era "Piper"s. The band then cools down into a thick funk segment that -> "Cities." Must hear.
2022-08-05	Soul Planet	Atlantic City, NJ	14:52	> from "Axilla (Part II)". Mike's bass is thumping as the jam begins. Trey solos over a cool texture provided by Mike and Fish. A slow tempo gradually picks up steam, possibly because of Fish dropping a "Yeah" sample seemingly out of nowhere. The jam comes to a head around 13:00 with Trey and Mike both heavy in their effects arsenals. It melts into almost nothing before > into a big "Down With Disease".
2022-08-05	DwD	Atlantic City, NJ	20:51	Big version that anchors a magical second set. The jam begins in highly melodic and patient territory. An easy-going but sonically complex jam follows, with the band shifting through effects while Fishman gallops along. As the music deepens and intensifies, Trey dips into the "bullfrog" effect, Page stacks synthesizers, and Mike taps into his synth bass palette. Fishman cuts the beat in half, and we enter a passage of effect-drenched space funk. Amidst the murk, Trey and Mike coax out a seamless "Midnight Rider" tease/jam at 16:55, much to the delight of ABB fans and tease-chasers alike. The jam then cools down into a gorgeous and remarkably delicate major key section. > a fiery "Ruby Waves."
2022-08-05	Ruby Waves	Atlantic City, NJ	14:39	Ruby emerges from the ether of a big "Down with Disease." This jam gallops along through various vignettes in butter-smooth fashion (including a brief passage of dissonant jamming) before the band lands on a super connected major key rock groove. Trey begins a repeated lick that builds patiently to an absolutely incendiary hose-y peak. Fishman kicks it into an overdrive with a tempo change and the band segues into the "DWD" ending in once again, butter-smooth fashion.
2022-08-05	DwD	Atlantic City, NJ	0:50	"DWD"'s closing section emerges from the ashes of an incendiary "Ruby Waves", finishing a brilliant segment of music. > an equally inspired "Ghost."
2022-08-05	Ghost	Atlantic City, NJ	12:17	Mike isn't always featured in JC entries, but when he is...Well, for what it's worth - and more - check out this late-show "Ghost." Per .netter @DetectiveFrankShark: Coming out of the last chorus, deliberate three-note chromatic play prevents the band from settling into predictable jamming. Fishman drops out to play atmospheric, scattershot, offbeat "lead"; Trey matches Mike's strange play; and, suddenly, we're in foreign territory. The way the band builds up the rest of the jam is a testament to just how great they played this Friday night. This, then, > a terrific "Hood."
2022-08-05	Hood	Atlantic City, NJ	13:45	It's all the same notes but a modal shift gives this inspiring jam a different tenor before it reverts back to "Hood" for a smooth finish, and combined with a super synth-funky intro, makes this a version well worth seeking out.
2022-08-05	Free	Atlantic City, NJ	10:03	"Free's" second encore and first-ever show-closing appearance comes loaded with heaps of extra synthy spank and filthy wah guitar.
2022-08-12	Moma	East Troy, WI	17:53	Trey's frenetic playing before the song proper ends indicates this won't be a typical "Moma". The tempo slows momentarily before culminating in a classic latter-day peak. The last minute sees Trey meander his way back to the "Moma" riff which allows the band to finish the song.
2022-08-12	Ass Handed	East Troy, WI	5:25	Following in 10/29/21's footsteps, the band again launches into a jam which rocks through a few sections and ends > "SYSF".
2022-08-12	Golden Age	East Troy, WI	14:55	A light and breezy, highly danceable groove is followed by some soul-piercing guitar when Trey gets out in front on the backend.
2022-08-12	Ghost	East Troy, WI	13:10	Upbeat major key bliss turns fiery and funky, getting 'ass-handed' before the band carves out a final trench of grimy filth that breaks for "The Howling".
2022-08-12	Bowie	East Troy, WI	12:07	Peeling away just after 6:00, the jam rolls along with swinging feel-good vibes and a bit of countrty twang, then does a few fakeout returns before finally reverting back to "Bowie" at 10:30.
2022-12-30	Moma	New York, NY	11:10	Loose intro with Trey entering on lead vocals sans Fish, while the outro bends the usual structure by downshifting into a more group-oriented jam before gaining intensity and peaking with some snarling guitar leads.
2022-12-30	Theme	New York, NY	14:58	Despite some tuning issues in the composed section, the band ultimately delivers the second massive "Theme" of '22. The usual soaring play giving way around 6 min as Trey shifts to a more rhythmic approach and Page adds some crunch on the clav. The jam, gaining momentum, grows darker propelled by Mike's aggressive lines and Fishman's deft cymbal work as Trey's tone becomes grittier. Page moves back to piano and around 11 min the band modulates to a brighter space with Trey continuing to adjust his sound. Play then turns atmospheric under the influence of Page's synths and Mike's bass effects before > to "Reba".
2022-12-30	NMINML	New York, NY	20:43	Big set 2 opener that retains a steady, unhurried pace throughout. The band patiently books along, executing several modulations and subtle changes to the groove with Page and Trey's locked-in textural interplay standing out. The jam gradually builds in intensity, eventually arriving at an emphatic closing section full of energetic and dexterous Trey peaks.
2022-12-30	Sand	New York, NY	17:58	Flirts with a few blissful passages in the first half, but at 10:45 this version locks into a propulsive, heavy jam with Trey pouring on a bevy of punishing riffs, and then wraps up with a final cimb interspersed in the traditional closing.
2022-12-30	I Always Wanted It This Way	New York, NY	13:30	Powerful and frenetic version that tears through MSG to end a massive second set. Fishman and Mike develop a forceful, driving rhythm as Page envelops the music with cascading synthesizer and electric piano textures. Atop this, Trey cycles through his rig and spits hellfire from his guitar, peeling the paint off the walls with nuanced sonic intensity.
2023-02-24	Stash	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	15:42	Terrific Phish. Yes, the old-school "Stash" formula continues to melt, but the band, while eschewing tension and release, doesn't break for "major," or "bliss" jamming; instead, driven by Fish, the friends quickly enter an extended passage of full-band improvisation - a jam (given there are two) better left playing than reading someone labor to describe. Or, if you like: It's as if current runs at "Melt" and "Stash" produce a love child. All this and the band doesn't veer so far that "Stash," as song, becomes unrecognizable. Amazing.
2023-02-24	SOAMelt	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	16:16	A version that takes its cues from the terrain of the Yucatan, dives into sonar laden depths and emerges through sunken caves to march up erupting volcanic peaks. A journey from the sublime to the menacing, "Melt" continues to offer some of the band's most forward looking improvisation.
2023-02-24	Waves	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	15:13	Fish sets the tone early with some stellar play that shines through. As the jam breaks from the song proper, a dark, subdued tone accompanies a slower tempo. Music served better for a mystery than on the beach. The tempo gradually rises again and the jam builds to a frenetic, heavy-effects peak-adjacent. > "Ruby Waves" setting the stage for the first ever pairing of the two Waves tunes.
2023-02-24	Ruby Waves	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	19:24	Veritable monster of a version. The band enthusiastically sets up a passage of dense, funky psychedelia off the back of Fish's propulsive engine. Inspiring play follows as Trey, Mike and Page all shine with affected tones and loops. Without ever dipping in energy, the band then patiently builds to a seriously rocking peak section before returning to the main theme of "Ruby Waves."
2023-02-24	CDT	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	11:39	This short powerhouse immediately leaves "CDT" behind for dark and choppy waters, surging ahead until 6:35 when it blurs the line between melancholy and ecstasy in brilliant fashion. More impassioned bliss follows, and then the jam slowly dissipates over the closing minutes and > "Gin".
2023-02-24	Gin	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	16:44	> from a barnburner "CDT". Everything one would expect from a set-closing Gin. No lulls or slow tempo, just upbeat and fun the whole way through. Around the 12 minute mark, Mike comes barreling in to push the jam to another level as he takes the lead. Things eventually lead to the set-closing peak that doesn't disappoint.
2023-04-14	A Wave of Hope	Seattle, WA	19:38	A cloud of uncertainty hangs over the early stages but Fish keeps things afloat with constant forward motion. Around 12:00 the jam begins to gradually emerge from darkness with Trey wielding his guitar like a blazing beam of light cutting through the gloom as it builds and builds to a series of peaks.
2023-04-14	Golden Age	Seattle, WA	17:24	Tight, airy play hews closely to the song proper for quite some time before Trey calls for improvisational departure. Fish breaks the beat - listen, a bit after the 8:00 mark, for this wonderful moment - before the groove bleeds to become hushed, restrained play, evoking early (as in 60s) psychedelic experimentation. And then... memorable almost for what doesn't happen as opposed to what does, this is Phish at their seemingly effortless best, bathing the base with another dose of the finest in the nation.
2023-04-14	Fluffhead	Seattle, WA	16:24	Arrives in fine fashion with an unusual modulation, giving the outro a "YEM"-like twist before returning home at 14:54 to close the show.
2023-04-21	DwD	Hollywood, CA	21:50	In lieu of lead-pointed playing, Trey sets the initial tone by tossing out spacious chords and arpeggiations. Page synths and hazy Trey delay paint the scene before a slightly dissonant transition space develops. The band then dials up the grime to deliver a sludge-y, stomping minor key rock-out. Ample time is spent in the murk before fading out > "Mercury."
2023-07-14	Tube	Alpharetta, GA	12:41	Comfortable in his pocket, Trey abandons caution and strikes any number of notes. Tapping grace and "YPC" licks and offset by pointed Page, full-band perfection incites classic effects-laden Phish whose tube builds to break at 11:17. Wonderful stuff.
2023-07-14	Caspian	Alpharetta, GA	10:05	Sticky-hot set closing version soars through the Georgia air. Fleet-fingered Trey playing dances on top of familiar melodic space. The band settles, and eventually breaks the music down, leading to a tease of Pink Floyd's "The Nile Song". This then builds to a celebratory and rousing finale, replete with wall-of-sound textures and super-sonic bass.
2023-07-14	Ruby Waves	Alpharetta, GA	25:46	A Fish propelled, space hopping rocket that sizzles thanks in large part to the drummer's restless shuffle. A big version that only gets bigger, gathering speed from a brief orbit near a certain planet, it explodes in loopy peaks before a full return.
2023-07-14	My Friend	Alpharetta, GA	14:27	Maintaining a nice line that develops during the song's outro, discordant, near cacophonous and quite percussive play drives fluid Trey, whose dark soloing would sound at home in a recent "Melt" or atop a tower.
2023-07-21	Stash	Burgettstown, PA	14:45	Gets a tweak and changes keys shortly before 7:00 but retains "Stash's" light-on-its-feet jazzy swing. Later, a lovely underwater passage leads into major bliss, where the jam stays for the remainder.
2023-07-21	Sigma Oasis	Burgettstown, PA	16:17	All four members are right up front contributing creatively without hesitation, actively listening, remaining locked in and punchy with direction. An upbeat set 2 opener that segues neatly into "The Final Hurrah".
2023-07-21	The Final Hurrah	Burgettstown, PA	9:00	-> from "Sigma Oasis." This fun tune has an upbeat jam for a while before giving way to a slowdown with Trey soloing over the rest of the band creating a cool texture for him. Fish really shines here. The jam dissolves and eventually > into the debut of "Pillow Jets."
2023-07-21	Pillow Jets	Burgettstown, PA	11:12	Phish debut version downshifts after 6:00, becoming more moody and atmospheric before mounting another round of heavier rock which washes into > "David Bowie".
2023-07-28	A Wave of Hope	New York, NY	21:00	Setting the tone for the highlight-rich MSG run to come, the band drops a multi-faceted monster in the 2 slot. Pure inertia pushes the band through several sections with impressive cohesion before eventually coalescing around a triumphant chord progression. All four band members then lock in to deliver a powerful climax, before yielding to the closing chorus.
2023-07-28	Cities	New York, NY	14:16	Big Red's love affair with The Big Apple, coupled with his renewed interest in jamming "Cities," yields a whole lotta good points. Chill playing ushers in fantastic, truly rhythmic improvisation, Trey's strumming offering a shimmery, warm, almost shoegaze feel - and, most importantly, room for the entire band to breathe. Play pulses until just after the 8:00 mark, when Trey takes a really great lead, which he builds into patterned play that bursts with a celebratory vibe. A nod to Trey's old home place, indeed.
2023-07-28	Plasma	New York, NY	14:06	> "Ruby Waves," and breaking for "Simple," strong, almost muscular play, informed by righteous riffing, showcases, yet again, the song's promise as a true show stopper.
2023-07-28	SOAMelt	New York, NY	14:20	Eschewing the typical rocking Set 2 closer, this version of "Melt" is a complete and utter deconstruction. It's wild and daring. Fans of heavy, dark or "evil" Phish will want to check this one out ASAP.
2023-08-04	46 Days	New York, NY	11:42	Jam starts with typical play before the band hooks up on a major key motif. High level interplay follows, and Trey touches the sky with a long, sustained note which culminates in a full band crescendo. The energy shifts towards minor key before returning to the "46 Days" riff to close.
2023-08-04	BOAF	New York, NY	9:00	Fire Fish rolls on through the four-minute mark, when he teams up with Trey, the friends synching to create the first of a couple markedly cool improvisational passages. Breaking free, Trey soars above Page, who, with Mike, creates all sorts of colors in sound. Play concludes with a decidedly Allman's vibe, Phish just fresh enough to be surprisingly unfamiliar. They return to "BOAF's" signature melody and classic coda.
2023-08-04	Halley's	New York, NY	11:15	The jam escapes the confines of "Halley's" by way of staying on "A", and a brief but potent excursion ensues. A propulsive, upbeat minor key groove develops, with Trey cycling through effects atop Page's Rhodes, Mike's synth bass, and Fishman's steady pulse. A major mode shift then catalyzes a smooth -> "Roggae".
2023-08-04	Mike's	New York, NY	23:19	Almost exactly 6 years to the day, "Mike's" gets another monster run as the Set II opener at MSG after 8/2/17's Baker's Dozen stunner. After a spirited, if routine first jam, the second jam forges ahead at 8:45 with a progressively upbeat display of the band's ability to weave a tapestry of interplay as they cycle through the changes. Trey's walkup at 19:20 signals a blowout finale on the horizon which arrives in full a few minutes later, after which the closing chords are repeated, then > "Sand".
2023-08-04	Sand	New York, NY	11:45	Acting as the palate cleanser between a titanic "Mike's Song" and a breakneck "Crosseyed and Painless", this version opts for supreme patience despite its short run-time. Trey's throwback Whammy loops set the tone, as the band settles into a blissy psychedelic space. This then slowly builds to a swirl of hose-y playing before setting MSG on fire with a -> "Crosseyed".
2023-08-04	C&P	New York, NY	12:55	One of the fastest paced versions to date explodes -> out of "Sand" and launches a thrilling straightforward jam before taking its foot off the gas around 7:30 and downshifting into a more contemplative space.
2023-08-25	Moma	Saratoga Springs, NY	13:32	Extended take drops into murky funk right out of the gate and luxuriates in that space. A mode shift then brings in a more introspective minor-key vibe with notably spry Mike play. Fluid Trey soloing leads Page towards a seamless mode change towards lydian space, before Trey finds the "Moma" melody to close out the affair.
2023-08-25	Ocelot	Saratoga Springs, NY	8:26	This jam takes off around six minutes in, when Trey's soaring play, Fish's fills, Mike's thundering bass and Page's impressive play all coalesce to give this version an unusually fierce ending.
2023-08-25	Sand	Saratoga Springs, NY	13:19	The "We Welcome You to Munchkinland" teases from Trey start at 6:45 and don't stop as they become the theme of this bizarrely triumphant jam on the 84th Anniversary of "The Wizard of Oz's" release.
2023-08-25	A Wave of Hope	Saratoga Springs, NY	22:12	The jam begins in earnest, propelled with vigor by the rhythm section while Trey and Page build layers. There is some searching midway as a slow build leads to fine peak directed noodling from Trey that eventually peters into transitional space. The band then pushes through several minutes of percussive grit before Trey takes charge again, steering them to Simple.
2023-08-25	Simple	Saratoga Springs, NY	21:53	-> from an expansive "AWoH". This multi-sectioned journey initially takes off in a minor key and plants its flag there as Trey's looping and Mike's cascading high octave wash apply density and complexity. The grooves grow polyrhythmic before coalescing into a dark, intense, effects-laden attack. A seemingly composed rhythm shift then leads the band towards anthemic territory with fluid Trey playing, before yielding to an extended passage of midnight-dark ambience to close. Fantastic.
2023-08-25	CDT	Saratoga Springs, NY	10:30	Less a typical "CDT" jam and more akin to the soundtrack of a slasher film as the killer gives chase to another victim. Extended, spine-tingling dissonance raises the tension to obscene levels before the usual closing section, after which it cranks up twice more to insanity and concludes with a tease of "We Welcome You to Munchkinland" for a bizarre juxtaposition which could only make sense in the weird, wonderful world of Phish. Deranged, but awesome.
2023-09-01	Halfway to the Moon	Commerce City, CO	7:42	In contrast to Trey's typical whammy-oriented soloing in "Halfway", this version's outro finds Trey opting for thoughtfully melodic and fleet-fingered soloing, which in turn inspires a fully fleshed-out melodic conversation between himself, Page and Mike. Gorgeous.
2023-09-01	Sand	Commerce City, CO	23:28	Another year at Dick's produces yet another monster version of "Sand." Strong play from Mike and Page kicks this jam off in fun fashion. Ideas are thrown out from each band member, with nothing ever sticking for too long. If a portion of this jam doesn't hook you, just give it two minutes and the next section will. Trey finds some lilting riffs towards the end, and then the whole band locks into a rocking, fun jam before meandering back to the familiar territory of the song proper, briefly jamming the outro. > "NMINML".
2023-09-01	SOAMelt	Commerce City, CO	16:34	Making a rare encore appearance, "Melt" again provides a space for the more sinister spirits of improvisation to brood and bend reality, pushing the limits of musicality in a truly alarming jam that is both anxious and angular. Listen especially for Mike to ratchet up the tension in the last few minutes. This extended finale is frightening and fantastic.
2023-10-06	Jibboo	Nashville, TN	12:20	Goes minor just for an instant around 6:15, after which another key change brings the jam back to major while it becomes more dreamy and soothing, allowing a build unlike "Jibboo" to flourish with a charming peak and ends -> "Oblivion".
2023-10-06	Oblivion	Nashville, TN	21:23	- > from a "Jibboo" worth your time. This sprawling jam starts patiently as the band jams around the structure of the song for a good bit before spreading its wings. Ever so slowly, the tempo gradually builds until things reach a "mini-peak" before Trey winds things back to sing the chorus again.
2023-10-13	Ghost	Chicago, IL	18:04	-> from "Halley's", this version has a quicker beginning than most. This is a laid-back, feel-good first set jam. Introspective and then euphoric. Peak upon peak. (And stick around for the "Albuquerque" bustout afterwards!)
2023-10-13	Sand	Chicago, IL	16:37	A fantastic sort of throwback to "Sands" of the late 1.0 era in that it doesn't range far from the format, but in doing so is able to drill down into the entrancing groove even deeper with loops and synths aplenty over top of a rock-solid rhythm section. Around 9:30, the reins are loosened slightly, allowing the jam to transition to major and Page to really show out for a spell, but the ominous minor tone soon returns to see things through to the conclusion.
2023-10-13	Tweezer	Chicago, IL	15:58	> from "Waves". In a rare spot as the third song in the second set, this (relatively) compact version packs a big punch. The band locks into the jam quickly and seamlessly. Around 11:20, Trey weaves back to the Tweezer riff, giving off this version might be incredibly compact. Instead, he pivots on a dime to a life-affirming major key jam. > into a fierce "Crosseyed".
2023-10-13	C&P	Chicago, IL	9:22	No messing around here, as Fish and Trey quickly push this jam into overdrive en route to a mean peak, then -> "Light".
2023-10-13	Hood	Chicago, IL	4:59	Sometimes it's better to simply sit back and listen to the music play. Beautiful ->'s into, and out from "Talk," as if rehearsed (which was probably the case). A defining moment from any point in the band's history, either way.
2023-10-13	Talk	Chicago, IL	2:11	Beautifully emerges -> from "Hood's" jam and -> back to "Hood". Quite a way to make its first appearance in 14 years.
2023-10-13	Hood	Chicago, IL	4:39	-> from "Talk" to complete this hearty, set-closing version.
2023-12-29	Theme	New York, NY	10:36	A soaring, muscular version distinguished by bright and conversational interplay is especially notable for the return of Trey's "Deluxe Reverb" which paints the affair with cascades of crystalline peaks, settling eventually into a cloud of sound that uncurls into "Mountains in the Mist".
2023-12-29	CDT	New York, NY	22:24	A teeth-gnashing multi(sectioned)beast of a jam, this take traverses through various disparate yet cohesively-arranged themes, including hyper-drive psychedelic rock, "Woo's", dense mind-bending dissonance and finally, a stoner/doom metal-esque dirge that grinds down > "Oblivion".
2023-12-29	Oblivion	New York, NY	16:26	After a brief stay in the minor synth zone, the jam trends more upbeat by 8:00 and shortly thereafter features more seriously rocking riffage, then deftly turns on the hose with a few long sustained notes from Trey along the way for a surefire crowd-pleasing conclusion.
2023-12-29	My Friend	New York, NY	10:21	A spirited version in its own right, Trey's vocal incantations (and power chords) build into a blistering "heavy metal" jam capped with a ferocious, percussive outro; here's swagger that winds down to inform an uncanny groove - like a series of handstands in grand fashion. -> into "Sand".
2023-12-29	Hood	New York, NY	14:12	Because the divergent "Hood" has become ubiquitous in recent years, sticking to the classic format and delivering a purely "Type I" jam as this version does is a welcome subversion, especially when the climactic build and peak are executed as passionately as they are here. Old-school "Hood" lovers, this one's for you.
2024-02-23	KDF	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	11:58	> from "46 Days." The continued renaissance of jammed out versions of "KDF" gets another entry with a fun, effects-laden jaunt. Fish's play shines through as a driving force. The jam culminates in a maelstrom of sounds, before eventually > "Wading."
2024-02-23	CDT	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	39:54	The pull of lunar gravity seems to propel this massively improvisational odyssey that draws from the full ocean of Phish's current array of tones and effects. Embracing a wide berth of improvisational moods from the familiar and serene to the anxious and alien, this truly titanic jam flirts with jagged edges and plumbs the bubbling depths but stays afloat atop the ebb and flow of its multiple movements and eventually finds safe port > "Beneath a Sea of Stars pt. 1".
2024-04-19	Axilla (Part II)	Las Vegas, NV	16:52	"Axilla II"'s improvisational identity is seemingly now fully established, with spacey, effects-heavy playing setting the tone immediately. Using this template as the platform, the band then effortlessly glides between cosmic life-affirming bliss, diverse textural coloring, and hazed-out driving groove rock before returning to the "Axilla II" ending to close.
2024-04-19	Theme	Las Vegas, NV	13:42	Comes loaded with extra sauce, a generous dollop of "Dave's Energy Guide", and a schmear of 'type II' flirtation that takes an edgier turn adding some improvisational heft to the otherwise uplifting play we've come to expect from "Theme".
2024-07-19	Character Zero	Mansfield, MA	9:37	Second song of Summer '24, Trey demonstrates his commitment to reimagining older material. Atypical, the take seems born from that sonic batter mixed at the Baker's Dozen, the band, in lieu of a typical set-closing rocker, moving from the song, proper, into quieter, contemplative, "jazzy" musings - a welcome change of pace that, while a just dessert, sets the table for a tour full of surprises.
2024-07-19	Stash	Mansfield, MA	13:55	The jam early on seems to draw from the ambivalence of the final lyrics as the band opens up a respectful space for each other. Fishman's insistent cymbal keeps some sense of direction as the conversation grows more fluid and brightens along Trey's melodic lead and Page's grand piano work. Mike hints at darkness and Trey responds with brief pedal play that quickly returns to cleaner tone and gives way to a tension free return to a thematic finish.
2024-07-19	Ghost	Mansfield, MA	19:01	The initial spelunk-funk of "Ghost's" outset jam breaks quickly for contemplative major key exploration, before escalating toward more rock- oriented pastures. The band plants their flag here and digs in when suddenly, a portal rips through space-time, catalyzing a dance with ""4.0's"" famous Dissonant Robots, before concluding with a >""Light"".
2024-07-19	SOAMelt	Mansfield, MA	14:54	> from "Beneath a Sea of Stars Part 1". Often imitated, never quite duplicated. "Melt" appeared four times in Summer 2024, with three of those (including this one) being the Set 2 closer. Each followed the same basic principle: utter deconstruction. How fine a line could the band walk while still keeping things slightly together? They did it best with the first try of the summer, mainly due to Fish's determined play that gives a backbone to the deconstruction happening all around him.
2024-07-26	My Friend	East Troy, WI	17:20	Spoiler: No "Myfe" ending. Instead, we are again spoiled as Trey pushes the band into extended, driving, and impressively focused improvisation. If this is "new norm," this version is arguably the most direct, with terrific intraband play well through the 11:00 mark. Here, play brightens, but eschews "bliss" in favor of more melodic, note-driven ideas, underscored by a terrific percussion rinse and play from Page on his concert grand. Jam peaks, but it's more in the form of a welcome release, and a huge blast of sustain; this cools to set up a wonderful "Brian and Robert."
2024-08-02	ADITL	Noblesville, IN	6:17	Worth the wait (162 shows), Phish explodes. Everything about this version is excellent, including those in attendance (listen to the AUD).
2024-08-02	DwD	Noblesville, IN	15:05	Showing up in the rare spot of the third song of Set 2, this "DWD" has the band locked in and playing off each other the whole time. The jam gets introspective for a time and then a bit heavy, before giving way to peak-y play and then back into the "Disease" solo. It wouldn't be the last time that solo wove its way into the setlist that night.
2024-08-02	Scents and Subtle Sounds	Noblesville, IN	24:27	Making its first appearance at Deer Creek after more than two decades, "Scents" here is led by Fish’s frenetic play, which is anything but subtle. The jam takes a turn just before the 13 minute mark into a slightly more contemplative space that provides some breathing room for the band to engage each other in conversational interplay that gradually builds to a rhythm laden and percussive peak featuring a reprise of "Down With Disease" before concluding.
2024-08-09	NMINML	Bethel, NY	14:17	Trey augments his tone just so- a great nod to the song's roots- and wonderfully solos. There's a super, however subtle shift, following the 5:00 mark, and the jam assumes a different register. Blasts of sustain and more great Trey (nifty melodic and thematic variation) builds to bliss tinged with that "Allman's" twist which culminates in a fire conclusion offset by the song's vocal refrain.
2024-08-09	My Friend	Bethel, NY	17:27	Atoning for a somewhat ugly composed section, Trey slashes his way through a jam ignited by near full-band "Fuego" teasing, the four then yielding to a cool idea come 8:45, which builds to scattershot, yet engaging and musical improvisation, Trey finally finding a fun, atonal line before turning all "Crosseyed and Painless," which, bettered by Page on his piano, leads to raucous improv, all of this building to inform a fun, playful, 'What the hell was that?' conclusion. Maybe so? Why not.
2024-08-09	Tweezer	Bethel, NY	24:10	Like a labyrinthine Hall of Mirrors, this "Tweezer" shifts through several moods and themes in impressionistic fashion. Fishman's cerebral, yet grounded grooving keeps the ship afloat as the band modulates between locked-in funk, abrasive dissonance, nearly rudderless psychedelia and finally a super catchy, Allman Brothers-inflected country rock section that turns anthemic. This then resolves back to the "Tweezer" theme and > a powerful "Pillow Jets".
2024-08-09	Pillow Jets	Bethel, NY	13:17	> from "Tweezer". If you didn't know any better, you might think the beginning of this jam was out of "Melt" and not "Pillow Jets". Out of the muck, Trey leads the band into an upbeat, driving jam that oozes energy. Trey weaves his way back to a smooth segue -> "Tweezer".
2024-08-09	Tweezer	Bethel, NY	3:03	-> from "Pillow Jets," Trey and Fish work their way into a snappy, musical and inventive "Tweezer" segment featuring rather cool contributions from Mike and Page. Fish is just fantastic and clearly having a blast, while Trey does his thing. A bit by way of noise drops; Trey strums; and the band -> into just what you'd want: "Piper." // Part "Piper" and "song-"outro, a return to the iconic "Tweezer" riff unquestionably caps this incendiary Summer 24 segment.
2024-08-09	Piper	Bethel, NY	15:20	Led by Trey's relentless invention and energy, this version is all gas and absolutely no breaks. Fiery group play abstracts at will, downshifting and upshifting without ever sacrificing cohesion, coalescing into a breakneck psychedelic rock clinic with Trey's guitar practically shooting off sparks. A brief return to the "Tweezer" theme (albeit in a different key) provides a fitting reprieve, before finally cooling off for "Shine a Light".
2024-08-09	CDT	Bethel, NY	11:46	Don't let the timing deceive you, as this "Chalk Dust" is packed to the brim with ideas and energy. Trey and Mike's inspired, high-energy interplay lead the band through multiple modulations, a "Yankee Doodle" tease, and finally a burn-down-the-house peak, closing up shop on a killer set 2.
2024-08-16	Ruby Waves	Dover, DE	15:16	Bananas - there's possibly something like six (or whatever) key changes - Phish arguably performs a parody of a "Type II" Phish song. While there may be segments one might not recommend, it's almost as if there's willful-sh*t in this version. And so perhaps you'd rec. it all. It's crazed. The ending might leave you thinking, "WTF?", too. Awesome. > "Pillow Jets."
2024-08-16	Pillow Jets	Dover, DE	9:49	> from "Ruby Waves," the jam (once through the song) is more an interlude, a punishing kaleidoscope of sound sure to please shoegazers and those with their heads in the clouds. Terrific outro-cum-drawn-out segue for a rabid "YPC."
2024-08-16	Your Pet Cat	Dover, DE	6:57	> from "Pillow Jets," the song, some of the faster Phish you’ll hear these days (this version, anyway), functions as an extension of the set's sound, "YPC's" signature-lick taking several speedy laps before Trey breaks to solo, at points melodically, and hammer the -> drawing out "Ruby Wave's" conclusion.
2024-08-16	Ruby Waves	Dover, DE	0:44	> from "YPC" to complete the version.
2024-08-16	Fluffhead	Dover, DE	16:07	In keeping with Phish's renewed appreciation for faithful performances of their classic material, this version is distinguished not only by high-level execution through "Fluff's" most challenging passages, but also by an incendiary "Arrival" section, with Trey sending sheets of euphoric sound throughout the Woodlands of Dover.
2024-08-30	CDT	Commerce City, CO	26:33	This installment of the annual Dick's "CDT" is a big winner. This massive, multi-sectioned jam is must-hear. It searches for a bit, but the band locks in around 11:30 and takes the listener on a journey that culminates with a nice peak before finishing with a return to the chorus.
2024-08-30	Sand	Commerce City, CO	13:57	Less Sand (although, astonishingly, the band keeps the song's signature line - mostly - running throughout) and more method of critical analysis of philosophical and musical language, one which emphasizes the internal workings of expression and conceptual systems, the relational quality of meaning, and the assumptions implicit in Phish-forms of expression. > "Ruby Waves".
2024-08-30	Ruby Waves	Commerce City, CO	21:09	Act One: Listen for Fish playing with the rhythm of Trey's feet. Act Two: Enjoy .... Intermit. Act Three: Listen to Trey listen to Page's melody (11:14-ish), follow the line, and go CRAZY. For a bit, it sounds something like "Guyute" chasing "David Bowie" around "Esther's" cemetery before... Well, while there is a conclusion, the whole thing is better off listening to, rather than reading about. It is that cool.
2024-08-30	YEM	Commerce City, CO	26:37	After a rather laid-back opening, the jam segment reaches its customary end point with the Bass and Drums section and vocal jam, after which the band kicks back in with more typical "YEM"-like grooving and builds to a more spirited peak punctuated by "Wash Uffizi Drive me to Firenze" vocals.
2024-10-25	Theme	Albany, NY	10:50	"Theme" has frequently featured on the Jam Chart in recent years (this being the 7th entry since '22), with most versions distinguished by play that goes beyond the traditional format, but here the band delivers big time in a relatively small package with a vibrant, purely "Type I" rendition.
2024-10-25	Piper	Albany, NY	18:05	Pivots quickly from the usual high-flying "Piper" jam into a moderately suspenseful minor-key zone and gains direction and drive after 8:00 with Mike and Trey riffing in tandem while Page paints the background with synths. After a brief sojourn back in major, the jam reverts to its more foreboding tone as it builds anticipation for an explosive finale and -> "Light".
2024-10-25	Wedge	Albany, NY	7:22	Emerging on the back of a sneaky segue from "Tweezer", the band, led by Trey, delivers a version notable for its bounce and heft. More confident than exploratory, Trey's lines never falter or hesitate on the back of the band's rhythmic punch, particularly Page's fine piano play.
2025-01-31	Wolfman's	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	20:45	A thoroughly funky opening gives way around 9:00 to an uplifting, inspirational build that carries through until a fakeout return to "Wolfman's" at 13:15, after which the band immediately launches into a high-powered segment of churning electro-rock culminating in a "Mike's Song" tease and another pass at the traditional closing. This time, the return sticks and this highly distinguished version concludes with a jazz lounge ending.
2025-01-31	Oblivion	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	15:22	Something 'haunting' about "Oblivion's" opening when done right, and that’s the case here. Always moody (one way or the other), the tune is a choice second set opener, and Trey opts for immediate excellence after crashing through the song proper, with the band finding a proper groove right around 5:30. Trey and Page pair from the jump, with the improv, some of the very best kind, finding Trey seemingly playing with two minds, somehow splashing different, concentric ideas - in a manner of thinking - off the other, in a manner (or sound) similar to one of his heroes.
2025-01-31	Sightless Escape	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	12:51	In just the third outing of this sparsely-played GOTF tune, the band significantly extends the groove and ups the intensity down the homestretch for a strong Type I jam.
2025-01-31	Fuego	Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico	22:43	Impassioned play comes early from the outset of the jam, before a breakdown after the 10 minute mark signals a change. An insistent riff from Trey then builds momentum as the music grows introspective and groovier, courtesy of Mike and Page's synth dominance. A propulsive yet atmospheric space is cultivated here and patiently explored with varying textures from each band member, before yielding to the "Fuego" conclusion.
2025-04-18	BOTT	Seattle, WA	16:57	> from "Theme". Where Trey might typically take his soaring solo, the song takes a much more subdued direction, indicating this isn't going to be the standard "BOTT" fare. Rollicking and upbeat one minute, spacey and searching the next. Things build from there into a fiery crescendo of a peak before returning to the song proper to close things out.
2025-04-18	Golden Age	Seattle, WA	23:07	Major key play breaks away early, galvanized by Fishman's cowbell-inflected groove subversions. Eerie effects creep in to create a cerebral, spacey atmosphere before Page's piano brings the band back toward major key pastures for a candy-coated romp. The band then locks in here and rides towards a big crescendo. The main "Golden Age" riff then seeps back in, pushing the band towards a delightful passage of intricate effects-based psychedelia centered around a groove similar to "Split Open and Melt", before -> "What's Going Through Your Mind".
2025-04-25	CDT	Hollywood, CA	13:58	Mid-tempo first set version gets a quick layer of standard heat before taking a turn for territory marked by bass driven rhythmic interplay, undergirded by washes of organ, and highlighted by bouncing melodic leads that briefly traverse familiar woods before soaring to multiple peaks.
2025-04-25	Carini	Hollywood, CA	13:27	Dense and muscular, this version seems to know what it wants to be right away and wastes no time in getting there. A study in how familiarity breeds freedom and improvisational leeway leaves space for the serendipitous. The group mind here delivers a tightly wrapped package of near perfection that peaks and gradually fades to > "Light".
2025-04-25	Light	Hollywood, CA	20:07	The jam quickly locks into a probing polyrhythmic bloom not unlike other choice versions of "Light", colored by modern textural approaches with Page's synth work standing out in particular. Play eventually coalesces and builds to a celebratory peak, before minimalist effects-based textures wash over and take the jam into a more cerebral and slightly dissonant direction, before fading > "Mercury".
