PHISH, THURSDAY 06/22/2000
AMSOUTH AMPHITHEATRE
Antioch, TN
Soundcheck: Jam -> Back on the Train, First Tube, Uncle Pen, Billy Breathes, You Shook Me All Night Long

SET 1:

First Tube: Standard.

Wolfman's Brother: Decent jam. >

Beauty of My Dreams: Standard. >

Golgi Apparatus: Standard. >

Limb By Limb: Trey goes off in this short version.

Bug: Standard.

Poor Heart: Standard. >

Roggae: Standard.

Chalk Dust Torture: Rages big time!

SET 2:

Gotta Jibboo: Decent jam. >

Also Sprach Zarathustra: Good placement but short and by the book. >

Sand: Pretty weird how they take this one down to basically nothing. A silent jam like they do in Foam. Outside of that, this jam didn’t get my attention. >

Harry Hood -> Dog Faced Boy > Harry Hood[1] – Cool for the curious aspect of placing DFB in the Hood intro but outside of that the actual Hood jam is not notable.

I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome[2], Hold Whatcha Got[3], Uncle Pen[2], Free Bird[4] - Very fun on tape so it must have been a blast to witness live and in the flesh.

ENCORE:

You Enjoy Myself: Very meh version.

Summary: Oddly enough, this is one of those shows that admittedly I have not heard in a good minute or two. In my mind, I had always remembered it as a strong tour opener with plentiful highlights. But, after my relisten, this one falls far short of what I had remembered. Very average show with cool guests. 3.75/5.

Replay Value: For me, there really isn’t any. Limb and CDT rip but not enough for me to seek them out ever again.
