SET 1: Over the Rainbow – Had to be there’d?

Ya Mar: Just got done relistening to Europe and USA Summer 97 tours. This sounds exceptionally fast to my ears, lol. Standard.

Down with Disease: Straight ahead face melter. >

Guelah Papyrus: Standard.

Poor Heart: Standard. >

Foam: Standard. Fast as hell.

Theme From the Bottom: Standard. After having listened to all those summery 97 shows, this version isn’t close to all those.

Golgi Apparatus: Standard >

Tweezer: Straight ahead and hard charging. Imagine it melted a few faces.

Hello My Baby: Standard.

Possum: Fun Possum, not sure it’s really jamcharts worthy or worthy of a relisten even. But I do like the stuff Trey was doing right at the 4 minute mark, pretty cool but brief.

SET 2: Runaway Jim: Very solid version! >

Simple: This gets the unfortunate rip cord treatment, too bad as it was ripping pretty good. >

Taste: This current iteration of Taste is not very good at all. Page’s part is good, but you can’t hear him very well. Taste just strums away the exact same way for what seems like minutes on end. Hard pass >

Free: Standard. >

Fluffhead: Solid version, good end shred. >

Prince Caspian: Trey’s vocals briefly struggle in the intro. Standard version. >

The Horse: >

Silent in the Morning:

Run Like an Antelope: Star Wars stuff is cool. This climax is a face melter, Trey goes off.

ENCORE: Punch You in the Eye – In 160 times played, this was the first time it owned the encore slot. It has only been done 6 times total or 3.75% of the time. Standard version.

Summary: Really vanilla show. Guess they were trying to save as much as they could for the big four night run at Red Rocks? For me, there just isn’t anything to revisit here. Oddly enough, I have listened to this show a number of times over the years and again just now. The Phish. Net rating of 3.59/5 (61 ratings) seems right on the money to me.
