Hot damn what an amazing audience recording available for this show! Not sure why it’s listed as a SBD?? Possibly an on stage recording. There are some flaws but it really doesn’t take away from the show. The recording really captures the intimacy of this performance!

Surprisingly this is the first time Phish played in New Jersey. A dream come true for Trey and Page! lol The band is extra chatty this night! The show kicks off appropriately with a rock solid Divided Sky. Mike discloses that Uncle Pen is about Bill Monroe’s Uncle, Pendleton Vandiver. It’s sounds like he’s making a joke but it’s actually true. More fun banter precedes a solid Stash with a cool little Buried Alive tease. Before Destiny Mike discloses that it was a song he wrote about his Uncle Pendleton. lol There’s a brief introduction of the Mockingbird out of Forbin. No mini Fish solo tonight preceding The Asse Festival. You could hear a pin drop during Page’s Coil solo! This lands into a decent Mike’s Groove. Diesel La Grange to close out set 1.

Some more fun Jersey banter precedes the first Buried Alive opener.
Rockin’ Tweezer! Pardon me Zero Man! Fine versions of Lizards, GXBX and Golgi round out set 2. Before starting up the encore Trey discloses that the 5th band member of Phish is actually Marley! A fun Jersey infused version of Contact is dedicated to the Mar Mar. Unfortunately, there’s some cd skipping sounds in the background towards the end of Contact. New Jersey and You working together!
