Nice, crispy DAT audience source available for this show—my birthday show! Big thanks to the mystery taper for making an incredible recording.

Things kick off with a well-played Landlady, followed by solid versions of Jim and Foam. Melt is decent, and after Silent, Trey mentions how happy he is to finally be playing Philly. The recording really picks up the crowd’s ooo’s and aaahh’s during DaaM. MSO features an inspired, extended intro, and the audience claps along enthusiastically during Stash.

Set two starts with a tease of the Ferris Bueller song that leads into a tight Buried Alive. Suzy is strong, with some extra percussion added during Page’s B3 solo—possibly Trey? A flawless All Things smashes into a ripping mid-set Bowie, complete with cool All Things teases during the intro. Fish also slips in a Long Tall Glasses quote. The Crazy Train suggestions from the crowd crack me up, but instead, Fish treats everyone to his new Neil Diamond number. He even brings out the Bag-Vac for Rosie! Tight YEM closer with Mike or Fish dropping a “saay what?!?” in reference to Wash Ufizi, plus a fun Three Blind Mice tease in the vocal jam that wraps up with the Lights Out.
