First Tube: At this point on the tour, they are playing this basically every other show. Not that this is a foreign concept for Phish. When they debut a tune and fall in love with it, they pound it into the ground. This one sounds like the rest, which is to say, super high energy and gets everyone dancing more than likely.

Punch You In The Eye: Awesome one, two punch. Love this tune as an opener or early in the first set.

Farmhouse: Good stuff, nothing out of the ordinary but solid.

Water in the Sky: Page and Trey seem to have slight difficulty hooking up early in the jam. That is quickly resolved.

The Moma Dance: Played a step slower out of the gate. Mike’s bass sounds awesome.

Down with Disease: Interesting version. Once this quiets down, Trey’s strumming gets very repetitive while Page lays down some cool effects. As mentioned by Westbrook in a previous review, there are similar elements in this trippy section that are reminiscent of the Boise Bag. Pretty cool and worth a listen for sure.

Roggae: Beautiful and A + placement.

Back on the Train, Guyute, Loving Cup: All sound fine, interesting how Loving Cup has not been played in the first set since 8.9.04.

First set summary: No replay value outside of that cool jam in DWD. Set is fine and well played, but very first setty.

Peaches En Regalia: 3rd and final time played until busted back out again 12.2.09 at MSG.

Possum: Not a huge fan of this placement.

Wolfman’s: That’s more like it. Breaks out of its little funk pocket right before the ten-minute mark as Trey creates a loop. Bliss jamming at 12:00, reaching some major heights here. Considering how few and far between bliss jamming was employed back then, this is a real treat. 13:45 briefly re-visiting the original Wolfman’s structure. 14:30 really getting quiet and introspective now. Big, sonic loop. 15:25 Trey on mini keyboard. This melts away into ->

The Lizards: Ladies and Gentlemen – THAT is how you Phish. Killer Wolfman’s into Lizards, sign me up!

Sand: Interesting that the debut was super jammed out, but they wouldn’t really take it out for another jam ride until 12.8.99. Some really cool effects in the last 90 or so seconds, wish they would have kept that going but Trey sort of rip chords >

Misty Mountain Hop: Not a huge fan. Page’s vocals, oof.

Encore:

Boogie On Reggae Woman: Theoretically cool in the encore slot but this one is pretty forgettable.

Chalkdust Torture: Some awesome effects at 4:58 but they are here and gone quickly. Other than that, this is played pretty close to the vest. Cool in the encore slot though.

Second Set Summary: Nothing grabs me outside of the Wolfman’s into Lizards which was seriously outstanding. The rest is just standard fare. This show is rated as 4.2 out of 5 on .net. Not feeling that at all, this is an average show. I would rate it a 3.5 out of 5. DwD and Wolfman’s have replay value. Rest of the show is solid yet unspectacular.
