I'll leave a more objective review (does such a thing really exist?) for someone else. For my part, the first half of this show was nothing too special as I listened at my desk at work. Typically good Fall 1991 playing, which is becoming an early high-water mark for the band, but nothing especially groundbreaking. My favorite part was a bit of banter from Trey at the start of Sparkle about Artis the Spoonman, who opened for Phish earlier this tour, and said "the greatest thing someone can give to another person is their attention." Trey goes on to give the band's appreciation for Atlanta: "In Atlanta, I don't know, there's something about, every time we play in Atlanta... it's great, it's incredible." Anyway, it's an awesome 1st set setlist with pretty great playing.

When I came home from work I had an very strong beer (I'm a lightweight and not that frequent of a drinker) and picked up where I left off on the show. Poor Heart was fun, and It's Ice really showed great prowess from Page and the rest of the band behind him. Then came this Tweezer which completely blew me away. Someone lets out a few blood-curdling screams at the start of the jam, so the band, as if in response, begins playing gently, and with more patience than the Phish of just a few months prior, they slowly build up to a heavy, HEAVY jam and peak. And Tela is the PERFECT cool down.
The end of the set has very pointed playing, with songs landing well with the attentive crowd. And My Sweet One starts off with the "very, extremely rare, special" gospel intro, 100% worth hearing.

Overall, average show, worthy of a review, worth hearing the Tweezer>Tela (though you're probably best off starting that grouping with the jam chart Fluffhead) and MSO.

This was my first actual PHiSH tape to receive in a trade back on spring Grateful Dead tour 1992, and is still a favorite. I had heard them on the lot in Cal Expo summer 1991, and then in some random encounters across fall tour, but this was my actual first PHiSH tape.

Several things about the show stand out to me: my favorite song is on there (Foam), the great acid-grass of Sparkle, great pairing of Tube>YEM, and barbershop quartet of Sweet Adeline, which was my first hearing of that stuff. The second set is for sure a great set as well top to bottom, and there was some secret language in Possum. Well played, this young band impressed me and I gave that tape many listens over the years.

Great way to get to acclimated and not overwhelmed with this new band (to me) at that time. My first show didn’t come until 2/18/1993, but I jumped in full steam in summer

Big thanks to Rick Supan for providing yet another beautiful Dat audience source for this southern swing!

Trey teases Curtain a few times before launching into it, setting a playful tone right out of the gate. They follow it up with Jim once again, which feels like a fitting companion. Before Sparkle, Trey takes a moment to talk about Artis the Spoonman, who had opened for them on the West Coast. He shares something Artis used to say when he had a truly attentive crowd—that your attention is one of the greatest gifts you can give someone. Trey adds that it must be something about Atlanta, because every time they play there, the crowd is just incredible. Llama is absolutely ripping, with inspired solos from both Page and Trey. Reba is clean and confidently played, and YEM features an infectious little jam that carries over into the bass and drums section. Brother closes the set in fantastic, chaotic form—another standout version.

Set two opens with a solid Chalk Dust that rolls right into a particularly inspired Fluffhead. The mid-section of It’s Ice is especially fun and inventive—my favorite version since its debut. They keep the energy high with a tight, powerful Tweezer. The girl screaming bloody murder at the start of the jam somehow adds to the intensity—pretty hilarious and kind of perfect. Tela provides a beautiful comedown before a humorous moment where Page and Trey add a “Henrietta” chorus to Fish’s theme song.Trey then says Henrietta wants to dedicate Terrapin to a special person in the audience. He follows up by announcing that Fish also wants to dedicate another song to that same special someone. Because it’s such a special gig, they decide to play the “extremely rare” Gospel intro to My Sweet One—though not that rare, since it debuted back in Santa Cruz. Still, this version has a little extra pep and crashes perfectly into the arena-shaking Tweezer Reprise.

The encore brings a well-played Glide and a fiery Possum to close out the night with style.
