Review by spreaditround

spreaditround SET 1: Runaway Jim: Strong Jim and the funk jam that is at the end and segues very well into… ->

My Soul: Standard.

Water in the Sky: Standard.

Stash: Solid version.

Bouncing Around the Room: Standard.

Vultures: Standard. Big crack of thunder at the end.

Bye Bye Foot: Tough for me to put into words how much I adore this Bye Bye Foot. Embarrassed to admit how many times I have listened to this one and watched the video. Literally perfect. Trey's big grin when Fish's lyrics start. 1:02. That knowing smile from Fishman when Trey takes the reigns, major goosebumps man. Trey's big grin when Fish's lyrics start. 1:02. Trey’ shoulder bend at 2:13. Love it so much.

Taste: Thunder going nuts as Page starts an incredibly spirited solo! Trey has a great solo, but it pales in comparison to what Page threw down. This version is one for the ages.

SET 2: Down with Disease: I really like where this one lands in the late 14’s with Mike going off and Page leaning hard on the synth. Things go on to get mostly funky and a little bluesy until this unbelievable segue… ->

Mike's Song: Ferocious as one would expect and then goes into deep outer space, this is an awesome version! Trey eventually finds an ascending theme that Mike piggybacks on nicely. >

Simple: Short and sweet, segues nicely into… ->

I Am Hydrogen: Standard. >

Weekapaug Groove: Trey rooting Page on when he takes this one to Funky Town, lol. I love the theme that Mike creates around the 5 minute mark and Trey jumps on it rather quickly. Pretty strong version but not necessarily one I would recommend or seek out for future consumption.

Hello My Baby: Standard.

ENCORE: When the Circus Comes - >

Harry Hood: Kind of wish this one would have peaked a little harder, but the jam is very, very good. Mike is so prominent in the mix! As an encore, this was fantastic and a wonderful cap to an outstanding show.

Replay Value: Bye Bye Foot, Taste, Down with Disease, Mike's Song

Summary: Kind of two short sets, weather obviously played a factor in at least the first sets length. Nice, long encore though. Great show and I absolutely agree with Phish.net’s rating of 4.55/5 (340 ratings). It’s a legendary show and there is a good reason why this was released as a DVD on Phish Dry Goods.
