Review by MrPalmers1000DollarQ

MrPalmers1000DollarQ Absolute ripper of a show with a few tunes that fly under the jam charts radar. Frankenstein starts things off right hot, and the first set MFMF bleeds from blistering peak to a sweet ambient outro--some very unique jamming for this tune.

This heads right into a totally undersold Reba. The jam starts out nice and low with some tasteful Mike, then quickly turns things up to a lengthy peak. The band reaches the ceiling, hangs out there for a bit, then finally blasts into the cosmos beyond. The last thirty seconds of this jam give me fucking goosebumps: Page throws in the organ just as Mike begins to ascend up the fretboard with Trey. Please please please put this on the charts.

First set continues strong with a great Forbins->Mockingbird, blazing DwD, and some nice bluegrass rarities. The second set really takes off, though. After Halley's Comet, the segues just do not stop until the end of McGrupp, and the whole suite is ridiculous. FWIW, I think the second Antelope->Fixin to Die features some pinnacle '94 Phish. It just exudes the style of play the band had developed up to that point in their career and is very reminiscent of the 11/22 Funky Bitch from only a week earlier. (Sidenote: I wish they'd bring back Fixin to Die, this is a sick tune and they play it phenomenally.) The Ya Mar jam and Mike's->Catapult take second place in my opinion, and I'd love to see that Mike's on the jam charts. Things stay low key, but features some really awesome Fish in the spotlight.
