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.

This isn't a review but just some helpful guidance on finding the SBD for set 2 on LivePhish in case anyone goes looking for it in '91 or in albums and can't find it there. Browse to 1996 and select the "New Orleans Relief" show from 4/26/96. Set 2 for this '91 show is the filler at the end. Enjoy!

This is a pretty sweet Fall '91 show that features some really strong playing from all members of the band. Though only Set 2 was released on LivePhish, it's certainly worth checking out the first half of the show on Relisten (or wherever you get your tape goodies). Among some very solid performances--including a few of the new tunes!--this YEM is an absolute heater. Trey's solo section in particular ascends to crazy heights from a laidback but stanky start. Fishman helps facilitate some real gnarly jamming, playing with subdivisions and driving the energy forward with monstrous momentum. It's Ice and Runaway Jim also feature some great soloing from Page and Trey, respectively.
In Set 2, things really take off. Clocking in at only five and a half minutes, this Brother wastes no time navigating to shrill, dissonant, jam space. It's very impressive the energy they achieve in such a compact song. In a similar vein, the Reba jam accomplishes some crazy beautiful moments despite making up less than half the tune's runtime. Including splashes of harmonic clash and a great soaring finale, this is certainly a notable performance for this early period in the band's career (check out 7/14/1991 for another great '91 Reba). Tube also grants some tight leashed greatness, as Page absolutely wrecks the keys on this version--would've loved to hear it go for a bit longer.
Then Aquarium Rescue Unit joins Phish on stage--always a sign of greatness to come. This David Bowie, featuring some wild bass slapping, unhinged scatting from Col. Bruce Hampton, and utterly frenetic guitar dueling between Jimmy Herring and Trey, is beyond face-melting. The band sets into a swanky groove more akin to a YEM than a Bowie fairly early on, sowing the seeds of chaos. A very Type II breakdown ensues, followed by the reaping of a faster Bowie outro that bursts through the stratosphere around 11:30. For the love of God, listen to this Bowie.
The Love You jam is pretty unique, and a breath of fresh air compared to the other performances as this one contains a bit more musical improvisation than novel goofiness. Finally, a tease/signal heavy Possum wraps up Set 2 with great ferocity (continued in the Fire encore). Something about that bayou water...the boys were absolutely shredding this show.
