thelot A fantastic DAT audience source circulates for this show—huge thanks to Rick Supan for sharing such a great recording. The archival LivePhish release covers Set 2 and sounds excellent; impressively, it’s almost on par with this audience tape.

The show opens with Memories, followed by a solid Chalk Dust that sets the tone. Crowd chatter is pretty heavy throughout the night, especially noticeable during the middle section of Ice and the jam in YEM. Interestingly, the audience quiets down for the bass and drums segment. Another fun vocal jam follows, and by the end it sounds like a dinosaur has joined the band—pure chaos in the best way. Trey’s solo in Runaway Jim is absolutely on fire. Henrietta takes an extended vacuum solo in I Didn’t Know, and the set-closing Llama is a full-throttle shred-fest.

An MC introduces Phish before they rip into Brother to kick off Set 2. The jam is tight and energetic. Reba is gorgeous, with a brief but tasty DEG tease. The Bowie that follows is a showstopper—wild, exploratory, and laced with another cool DEG nod. HYHU spirals into a bizarre little jam that morphs into a unique take on Love You. Fish introduces Oteil on fretless guitar (and no one else), then whips out the bone for a hilariously long version—possibly the longest Love You ever. Possum is played with serious fire and closes the set on a high note. Trey dedicates Rocky Top to Col. Bruce and the Aquarium Rescue Unit, calling it their favorite song. Fire brings the night to a blazing end.
