SET 1: Cars Trucks Buses, Runaway Jim, Horn, Punch You in the Eye > Esther: Standard – Killer set of tunes to open up this show >

Chalk Dust Torture: Trey has some cool riffs in between verses. This version rips! Definitely check it out.

Theme From the Bottom: Standard:

Acoustic Army: Humorous banter about the chess match. Trey plays a clip of newborn (2 months old) Eliza crying. Crowd goes crazy.

Split Open and Melt: Pretty solid, never deviates much from its true self but the jam is welcome in a set that does not have much in the way of jamming.

Billy Breathes, Cavern: Standard.

First set summary: Solid set of Phish anchored by a nice Chalkdust, Theme and SOAMelt.

SET 2: Frankenstein, Poor Heart: Crazy energy out of the gates but its feeling like much of the rest of the tour played to this point where it’s going to be two. But that’s about to change… >

Mike's Song: Ladies and Gentlemen – hold on to your hats – Some of the best of Fall 95 is about to rip your face off. This Mike’s first jam gets kicked off with the most subtle loop in the early 3’s. Trey jumps on his percussion rack right after this – he is in attack mode quickly. By the early 5’s Mike is starting to take the lead in this jam. Once Trey gets back on his axe, they are creating a big wall of sound laden with effects. Trey goes back to the rack after a couple minutes and the 4 headed monster appears as Page becomes very prominent laying down some funk. 30 seconds of some heavy metal lead perfectly into the second jam. Mike is really popping, and they Trey and Mike soon hook up for some nice runs with Trey high up on the neck. They get deep, very deep in the pocket. This is just a killer Mike’s jam… > I Am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove: Another big wall of sound early in this jam and then around six minutes it sounds like Trey is going for Llama, this goes on for a bit. This dwindled and Fishman truly goes beast mode and leads the band while Trey lays down these creepy power chords, followed by some searing loops. Trey deftly leads the band into space, gives Page the signal…Page messes with Keyboard Army…Trey tells Page its time for him to croon away… >

Lawn Boy: > Big Black Furry Creature from Mars, Kung > Suspicious Minds > Hold Your Head Up, Possum ENCORE: A Day in the Life: Standard

Second set summary: Mike’s borders on an all timer (yes, it’s that good) and Weekapaug is a no brainer all timer. Frankenstein to open – you knew it was on, tons of Phishy antics (BBFCM, Kung, SM, all fall down in Possum) all indicate the band was locked in AND having a great time. I can’t quite rate this show as high as 10.11.95, it’s not nearly as good. But it is better than Spokane. I am rating this as a 4.2 out of 5.
