PHISH, SUNDAY 06/25/1995
THE MANN CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS
Philadelphia, PA

SET 1:

Ya Mar: Standard. >

AC/DC Bag: Smokes big time! >

Taste: Very solid. >

Theme From the Bottom: Standard.

If I Could: 3:09 to 3:12, tell me that is not Page playing Eminence Front for a couple bars??? Coincidence? Maybe. Coo? Very! Great version here. >

Sparkle: Standard. >

Divided Sky: Standard.

I Didn't Know: Standard.

Split Open and Melt: Standard.

SET 2:

Maze: Smokes – great opener! >

Sample in a Jar: Kind of negates the momentum that Maze created.

Scent of a Mule: Standard and rather straightforward.

Mike's Song: This jam is hard driving and intense. Super metal! By the late 12’s this has largely settled and gets spacy for the next few minutes. Crazy intense ramp up around 15:20 and things are spinning out of control in a good way. This would have been A LOT to handle on a headful, wow! Would recommend! ->

Why Don't We Do It in the Road? This was the first time this was played out of Mike’s and the second and last time it happened was 2.23.97. >

Hold Your Head Up: Standard. >

Jam: Some cool effects in here, revisiting some of that wild psychedelic soup they created in Mike’s – kind of sounds like the end of Day in the Life ->

Weekapaug Groove: Mainstreet by Bob Seger at 2:12 and Dreaming by Blondie at 4:24. The first part of this jam is led by Trey soloing passionately, it’s fantastic. From there, things get very funky led primarily by Page. When they are satisfied with this section, Trey comes in over the top and lays waste to the Mann. He is in all his glory during this stretch, blistering guitar work. Would recommend!

Amazing Grace: Standard.

Cavern: Standard.

ENCORE:

Bouncing Around the Room: Standard.

Slave to the Traffic Light: Feels a little rushed and it’s definitely shorter than most from this era. Must have been up against the curfew.

Summary: Very good show. 3.8/5

Replay Value: Mike’s Song, Weekapaug Groove

During I Didn’t Know, Trey introduced Fish as “Cedric Harris.” The Maze intro included Taps teases from Trey and Weekapaug contained teases of Mainstreet and Dreaming (Blondie).
