This show marked the first performances of Brother, It’s Ice, Sparkle, and All Things Reconsidered. Reba contained two Simpsons signals (without the "D'oh" response) and Possum had a Rhapsody in Blue tease from Trey and Charlie Chan and Simpsons signals. Chalk Dust contained four Charlie Chan signals and Key Change, Tritone Down, Clapping, and Random Laugh signals. Cavern and Jesus Just Left Chicago featured Carl Gerhard on trumpet.

(Published on the legacy Phish.net site many years ago...)

It was a pretty good show, including 4 new tunes. I can't remember the titles of the new tunes offhand, except for the last one that they did, a tribute to the theme from "All Things Considered." They played that along with "Big Black Furry Creatures From Mars" as an encore, a song that I had heard the title of but never had actually heard. Sorry, but I can't really rattle off a complete setlist for you, because 1) I've gone to 6 concerts in 7 days (Phish plus 5 Dead shows at the Boston Garden) and am having a little trouble remembering everything that I've heard, and 2) I currently have no live Phish tapes (although I'd be glad to trade Dead tapes for some...hint, hint) and all the Phish that I have is Junta and Lawn Boy, so there are a lot of tunes that I recognize but don't know the titles of.

Any way, I had a really good time at the show (as I usually do). I have some friends who saw them last night in Ithaca (State Theater), but I haven't heard from them yet about any details.

Oh yeah, how could I forget?

During a couple of songs in the second set at Keene, Phish had a trumpet player on stage with them. I assume this is one of the guys from the Horns. It really added to the music. I'd like to see them do some more touring with the Horns. Summer tour was fantastic.

thelot Good audience recording for this show but for whatever reason Set 2 sounds tinny overall. There’s a noticeable correction before the encore starts, which is similar to the quality of the first set.

The debut of Brother gets the tour underway. Really nice solos from Trey during the first four songs. Poor Heart was reworked a little bit. The debut of It’s Ice features some nice piano work from Page in the mid-section. The last portion of the song is structured different than the current version. Reba has two Simpsons teases to start the jam. Solid jam section. The first Eliza of ‘91 makes an appearance at the same theater it made it’s debut a year prior. Reworked to the version that appears on PON. Smokin’ Possum set closer with the very first Simpsons signal.

The quality of the recording is a bit muddy to start set 2. It improves about a minute in. Rippin’ Stash. The debut of Sparkle follows. Carl Gerhard joins in for Cavern and Jesus Left. Trey is en Fuego for Jim. Tape flip after Jim. Start of YEM is cut. Killer little jam section. The Chalkdust closer was loaded with secret language throughout the jam. Before the encore Trey says they wrote a new song inspired by NPR’s All Things Considered. He says when they learn how to play it they’ll perform it on National Public Radio. BBFCFM pairs nicely with the debut of All Things Reconsidered.
