Review: #Phish Jones Beach Nights 1 and 2

All the shows I’ve seen in the great state of New York have been at the top of my list. There is only 3, but I don’t think you will disagree that Clifford Ball and Vernon Downs were fine shows. I didn’t come into Jones Beach expecting the same level of goodness, but I am leaving with confidence that Phish is rebuilding into a form similar to what I loved in the 90s.

We’ve picked up a lot of new visitors over this past week, and all of us who contribute to the site are very thankful and appreciative of your support. I thought it would be helpful to give you my Phish background, so you can keep that in mind while reading my review. Tuesday and Thursday nights were shows #28 and #29. My first show(s) was the Clifford Ball. I saw Halloween ‘96 and ‘98, along with the Dark Side of the Moon show, the Great Went, and Lemonwheel. I have never seen more than 3 shows in a row, but I caught most of my shows (18) from Summer ‘96 through Fall ‘98. I’m also a bit older than the average fan. I did not start seeing Phish until I was 26, so that would make me … (you can figure it out). I’ve seen 3 of the first 6 shows this year, and only caught 4 shows in 2003 and 2004. These will be the last shows I see this summer, maybe this year (unless they come to my hometown of Charlottesville in the fall).

Tuesday

Tuesday night got off to an ominous start. We were a bit concerned about the public transportation out to the venue, only because we were not familiar with it, but it was a breeze on the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) out to Freeport. After waiting for a bus that didn’t show and no one knew would show, we split a $22 cab ride out to the venue with a nice couple of peeps, and then the skies opened. We were not prepared, but luckily the Jones Beach parking lot, which is right next to the beach has a concessions stand. It was 5:00. Show started at 7:30. We ducked under an awning in front of the concession stand, and noticed that they sold beer. Bonus since we did not bring any. There was also a sign that read all beer sales stop 2 hours prior to show time. Then we ordered two beers and were told that beer sales have stopped. WTF? The powers that be had told them to stop selling 3 hours prior. Whatever - we were staying dry, and then we noticed that the beach side of the concession stand was completely covered with plenty of room. We made the dash to the backside, and ordered some chicken fingers and waters so that we weren’t loitering (fearing that they would kick us out). As time went on and the skies continued to pour buckets of rain, more people gathered in the area for cover. We ran into the couple that we shared a cab with, and bummed a PBR tall boy from them (thanks again). Then, a few bad apples ruined it for everyone as a couple obnoxious jackasses got us kicked out of the stand. They closed their doors and we were back out in the rain. Luckily there was more cover in the Jones Beach “Comfort Room”, aka the public restrooms.

The rain finally stopped and we ventured out into the lot. We meandered over to a village of tents, and saw a few heads get busted. After that scene died down, the village of tents was clearly shakedown, and it was a good one. Lots of good smells and vendors. It brought back some good memories since Hampton really did not have a lot scene this year. We met up with Butter Room Chicago and eventually headed toward the gates. For me, the lot scene on Tuesday was perfect - I give it an A.

Inside, we discovered a few surprises. First, no beer sales. Second, bottled water cost $6.50! That’s the most I’ve ever spent on water. Third, there were no covered seats at all. With a rainy forecast for both Thursday and Friday, we were not too fired up about the prospect of being soaked. I guess that’s what happens when you become an old fart like me. :) Fourth, the Jones Beach “orchestra pit” seats are not an orchestra pit. We were in Section H in the “orchestra pit” and about 50 rows from the stage. Still though, none of this dampened our spirits. It was nice to finally meet Scotty Bernstein from Hidden Track in Section H. He does absolutely great work, and I appreciate the content that Hidden Track puts out every day.

If you have read any of my posts, then you know that I am not a musician, and thus really only focus on highlights or low lights. I’m not going to give you a blow by blow account of each song. To start, the sound was a bit muddy at first. It got better about 4 songs in, and then seemed to increase in volume during second set. I got a laugh out of “Foam” because I never caught it in 22 shows pre-hiatus. Since then, I’ve caught “Foam” 4 times in 6 shows. I can now cross “Timber” off my list of songs I’ve never seen live. While it was nothing out of this world, nor would I expect it to be at this point in the comeback, it was a highlight of the show for me. A nasty “Cities” followed, which brought a lot of smiles. “Cities” and “Possum”, later in the set, were the musical highlights of the set for me. Bouncing back in the set, the technical portion of “Reba” was absolutely on target, but the jam never really took me to that special place. The set closer, “If I Could” was a nice surprise. They jammed it out a bit more than expected, and it was a nice mellow and unique way to end the set. Overall, I was pretty darn satisfied with what I had just heard. It wasn’t epic, but it was better than the Hampton Sunday show, which was the last show I caught.

Cities - Phish (6.2.09) from The Butter Room on Vimeo.

Second set had several peaks and valleys. Clearly, the band has some work to do on transitions, which is not a knock. I think it’s expected, and probably why these incredible set lists are quite void of transitions. The “Mike’s” into “Simple” transition was forced. A lyric flub in “Simple” got a laugh from Trey and the crowd, but the jam out of “Simple” was right on. It slowed down enough to transition nicely into “Wolfman’s Brother”, which I thought was the highlight of the four song string. There wasn’t anything unique about the jam, but it was tight, on target, with a nice peak. For the three shows I’ve caught since the comeback, that has been the focus of my ears. I do not expect any Type II jamming, not for a long time anyways. The awkward moment of the night was Fishman pushing ahead with “Weekapaug” when it appeared Trey, Page, and Mike were not there yet. It was another forced transition. After “When the Circus Comes”, Phish played “Kill Devil Falls” for the first time ever. The jam at the end was eerily similar to “Chalkdust”. How can you not enjoy that? “Harry Hood” was the highlight of the second set. Out of all the songs played on Tuesday and Thursday, this is where the boys really ventured outside the norm. As Trey stared up into the upper deck for several minutes, he took the jam to some interesting places and the foursome melded it nicely with the Hood climax. “Lovin’ Cup” was rocking as usual, and we left the venue during “Suzie”. Seen enough in my lifetime and I wanted to get back to the city.

Thursday

We decided ahead of time that we were going to cab it again from the LIRR, so we took the train all the way to Wantagh. This time around there were no cabs to be found! We ducked into a great local pub and had a couple of beers and some wings, caught that cab finally and hit Shakedown. The wook count was a bit higher than Tuesday. Clearly we were getting closer to the weekend.

The bad weather held off. We got a few raindrops here and there, but nothing that even this old man can complain about. After “Grind” (my apologies to our Twitter followers as I texted “Glide” on accident), “Divided Sky” put the first ear to ear grin on my face. This ear did not notice any flubs. I looked over at Graham and said that tonight is going to be better. They nailed “Sky” and it was only the second song of the night. Good sign. The remainder of the set was really well played. And that is all that I am looking for, scratch that, hoping for, at this point. I want Phish to show me they can still play the technical sections of songs like “Sky”, “Fluffhead”, “Guyute”, “Reba”, etc without issue night after night, and then construct tight jams that lead to a climax in a natural and unforced manner. They did that on Thursday, better than Tuesday. The “Antelope” closer fell a little short, but that’s one of those songs that might take a while to get back to epic status. Being a Red Sox fan, I loved Hidden Track’s Luke Sacks quote about “Antelope” from his review, “Perhaps it is the David Ortiz of the Phish catalog – always respected and revered even if unable to reach quite the same heights.”.

Squirming Coil > PYITE - Phish (6.4.09) from The Butter Room on Vimeo.

I was managing the stairs of the out of control aisles in section 11 as the slow version of “Water in the Sky” opened the second set. An unusual set opener, almost as unusual as an “If I Could” set closer. I’m not a “Birds of a Feather” fan, but once again, the boys nailed it last night. Then the surprises came out. “Drowned” into “Meatstick” was the set list highlight of the night. I thought Mike’s vocals were a bit too low during “Drowned”, but that’s my only complaint. It was great to see this cover again, and the transition into “Meatstick” was not that bad. Much better than the transitions on Tuesday. There was some chatter about “Fire in the Mountain” as they made their way into “Meatstick”, which created a brief period of mild hysteria, but most people knew what was coming. What I didn’t expect was a Japanese verse. While I, along with many other Phish fans, got tired of “Meatstick” rather quickly in 1999, it’s return last night was fantastic. It put a huge smile on my face to see the boys having fun during this one.

The only low light of the night was “Time Turns Elastic”. I respect those opinions that like this new one, but I just think there are too many turns and changes in the song to keep the audience engaged. In addition, I don’t like the second set placement. “Kill Devil Falls” was placed in this portion of the show on Tuesday and it was received better than TTE. It really sucked the energy out of the crowd after the “Drowned > Meatstick”. I dug the “Waste”, and then they surprised us again with “YEM” to end the set. It was a fantastic “YEM” to boot. Of the four band members, Trey made the biggest leap forward from Hampton to Jones Beach. While he is not taking the same risks he would often take in the 90s, his playing was more aggressive. He was the focus on Tuesday and Thursday night. Another reason for this was the song selection. Graham and I found it extremely odd and rare that the first Page song played of the run was the “Rock N Roll” encore on Thursday night. You can’t complain about the set lists though. They are incredible. The set lists played thus far are set lists we used to get at the Maine festivals. They are so much better than the set lists that took shape beginning in 1999. It is so refreshing to see the boys playing everything and anything in their catalog. Well, I take that back. Where is Round Room in all this? And Undermind? Even Farmhouse? It’s interesting to see the boys shying away from this material. I’m not complaining. Just making an observation.

Ghost - Phish (6.4.09) from The Butter Room on Vimeo.

As Graham and I took the LIRR back on both Tuesday and Thursday nights, I left with two different impressions. Tuesday night I felt a bit empty about what I had just seen. By no means was I disappointed. It was solid and enjoyable, but I still did not get the feeling that the boys could return to pre-hiatus form (and I’m not referring to 1994 or 1997 - I’m just hoping for 1999-2000). Thursday night changed all of that. I know they will get there, if they didn’t get there last night. It was the best Phish show I’ve seen in 10 years, and it’s only going to get better.

Jones Beach 1… Its on!

Tuesday night, on the bank of a river ten miles away from the familiar stomping grounds of Nassau Coliseum, Phish established their sound for the future. This sound, which will most certainly define the band’s return as one of rejuvenation, passion, and creativity (and far from a nostalgic reunion), melds the precise and laser-focused rock of the mid nineties with the unique improvisation of post-hiatus Phish.

Though it stems from seeds which were planted in Hampton three months ago and which sprouted beside the Green Monster this past weekend, the band set the stage for a truly epic tour with an instant classic at Jones Beach.

With the rain having passed earlier in the evening, the roof-free pavilion proved to be a great venue. The sound was full and crisp, a stark change from the echoes and wind-induced static of Fenway Park. The

crowd was amped up for a follow up to the stellar tour opener a few days prior, and were treated with a nearly flawless show that showcased tons of crowd favorites, two incredibly promising new song, a rare bust-out (If I Could), the full specrum of jamming from dark and evil to funky and playful.

Cities - Phish (6.2.09) from The Butter Room on Vimeo.

Starting with old combo of Runaway Jim and Foam, the first set instantly set the stage for a classic. It became clear early on that the band was firing on all cylinders. If a setlist had been written, it seemed to never make an appearance as Trey simply walked around to the others calling the next number.

Simple - 6.2.09 Jones Beach from The Butter Room on Vimeo.

The second set was stellar start to finish. The extended Mike’s Groove packed a punch at every turn. The jamming spanned the spectrum from dirty (Mike’s Song) to playful (Wolfman’s Brother). The Harry Hood jam was went dark and deep, breaking the song down to a slow and spacey jam before bring it back around.

Both new songs were major highlights for the show. “Stealing Time From a Faulty Plan” hinted at signs of a matured “Song I Heard The Ocean Sing”. While short and concise, there is no question this will grow to be a monster vehicle for the band. The other debut, the classic-rock-style Kill Devil Falls, relives Trey’s journey of recent years while exclaiming, “I learned my lesson, I can still remember the last one.“ The song seems to borrow from the ferocious Chalkdust jam from IT in 2003 its the backdrop.

Overall, the show set the stage for a fantastic tour. The boys sounded tighter than they have in a decade. With only three shows under their belt thus far, the possibilities are limitless. See you on tour…

Fenway Park: Tour Happens

In the world of Phish, you never know how the tour is going to materialize, especially its start, until you’re at the membrane of it all, ready to burst with the energy that comes with renewed hope in 2009. And so, it was fitting that one became two, and two became four, and then there was a fifth… before you know it, we knew dozens of people who were in from all parts of the country.

Our voyage to Boston began out of Chicago with me (Matt), Butter Roomer Eugene, and our friends David and Logan. Our other Chicago resident, Joel, decided on Thursday morning that he too would join the fun and caught a ride out to Boston. We arrived in Rochester, NY (home of the delicious 12.11.97 variety) late Friday night, and were back on the road Saturday afternoon to Boston.

Saturday night we enjoyed some great seafood in Cambridge, and met up with friends of friends for a large pre-show brunch Sunday morning. For many in the group it would be their first 3.0 experience, or a spur of the moment commitment rooted in the possibilities of what Phish can and has been. Whatever the case, Boston was buzzing - surprisingly more for Phish than Dave Matthews Band who occupied the stadium Friday and Saturday.

In typical Phish fandom, guesses for the tour opener were rampant, as were rumors of DMB sit-ins. However, as we walked up the stairs of the Kenmore ‘T’ stop, it became apparent that four guys from Vermont were all that really mattered. Major sidewalks swelled with fans from one block to the next, vendors and tour rats interacting where normally the spectacle would be of the sporting variety.

We ducked off into a private bar party hosted by Shannon, whose crew was gracious enough to invite us in. It was very nice to meet up with some of the community pre-show and get a drink when you wanted it. Walking into Fenway with a nice buzz, we found ourselves face to face with the Green Monster. The stadium filled as rain once again appeared with the sun tucked behind thick clouds, and Phish came out at 6:40 PM… to the mound where they sang the Star Spangled Banner (video below)

Phish - Star Spangled Banner @ Fenway from The Butter Room on Vimeo.

About ten minutes later, Phish emerged on-stage to a rowdy welcome from the Boston crowd and launched into Sample In a Jar, playing a fairly standard version with

Anastasio firing off some quick, dirty solos. Moma Dance followed, getting super funky with some extra Gordo bombs before heading into the jam. Moma was

contained to about 7 minutes, and quickly segued into Chalkdust Torture which wa

s again - in what’s becoming typical 3.0 style - to the point. Perhaps the coolest part of the Chalkdust was the rainbow that emerged over the park, bringing smiles to the faces of almost 35,000 fans!

Following Chalkdust, Phish played their second new tune since returning and their first of the summer tour, Ocelot. This song has a lot of potential, although I’m on the fence about the Dear Prudence refrain of “wont you come out to play.” The jam gave Trey an opportunity to open up and fire up the machine gun before landing and kicking into Stash (a fairly forgettable version).

With such a large crowd and playing such a historic and high profile venue, it was reasonable to expect some of Phish’s more accessible songs, such as Bouncing Around The Room. This version was the standard fare, which I’m rather indifferent to. Luckily, the rest of the set just started to pour out of the band. I was

able to catch my first Poor Heart, last played 12.29.03 (a show I had a ticket to but couldn’t attend), and a solid Limb by Limb started to loosen the band up before another slower, yet equally meaningful song, Wading In The Velvet Sea, dropped.

What came next though gave hope to the summer and meaning to being a Phish fan. Down With Disease was the first time I really felt the band was BACK, that Trey Anastasio was back. As he peaked the jam, I finally felt one of those collective moments where we were all riding the energy straight off Trey’s back. It was bliss, and that euphoria carried over for me as Destiny Unbound started to echo off the walls of Fenway. Character Zero brought an end to the first set of the summer, albeit in a slightly different arrangement than in the past. It’s worth checking out if you are a fan of the song.

Set two was one of those Phish sets that took you from one end of the spectrum to the other, and did so in just two songs! Tweezer kicked off the set, with a dark, twisted funk to it, spiraling deeper into the darkness that had descended upon the crowd, and finally allowing Kuroda to break free from the confines of a setting sun. Perhaps in response, the band moved into Light, a new tune that also was heavily led by Anastasio. Crowd favorites Bathtub Gin and David Bowie were then played back to back, with solid but concise jams, focusing on the power of the songs rather than how far away from their original structures they could be taken. In a way this style is refreshing. It brings emphasis back to the material itself, the beauty and originality that went into their creation, and really kept the set flowing.

Time Turns Elastic made its debut, although at this point it seems most fans aren’t too comfortable with the meandering 13+ minute composition in the rotation. The ending of the jam was very solid though, and brought everyone back onto the same page as the band got ready to lay down the gauntlet with a Cactus-driven Free. Then, out of the middle of nowhere, Skynard’s Curtis Loew emerged, fully dusted off and played to perfection after almost 16 years on the shelf. A bust-out of very large proportions for Phish fans! How do you follow that up? Drop your biggest song on the crowd to end the set: YEM!!! Trey hit the solo, there were no distracting flubs, and Gordo had one of his longest and funkiest bass solos to bring it on home. The encore didn’t disappoint either, with Cavern (a song I had been waiting for since 3.6.09), Zeppelin’s Good Times, Bad Times (you know we’ve had our share), and the obligatory but much needed Tweeprise release.

Overall I would give Set 1 a B- and Set 2 a B+, for an overall B show. Phish has always been a band that thrives on practicing, playing, and getting their groove on the road from playing show after show. For the tour opener, they brought more precision, energy, and attention to detail than I (and probably most phans) were expecting. It was a show to drop the curtain on what is bound to be an extremely memorable tour, and a new chapter in one of rock and roll’s most storied live acts.

Gravity - John Mayer w/ Leroi Moore
9.6.07 - The Concert for Virginia Tech, Lane Stadium - Blacksburg VA

John Mayer at the Concert for Virginia Tech
Last weekend I spent part of Saturday afternoon on the field of Lane Stadium playing football with my two year old son. It was the first time I had been on the field where the Virginia Tech Hokies play since The Concert for Virginia Tech. The Concert for Virginia Tech was an event free to students, faculty, and staff of Virginia Tech designed to bring the entire Virginia Tech community together after the tragic shootings five months earlier.

Virginia’s own Dave Matthews Band “hosted” the event, and played a full show after John Mayer, Phil Vassar, and Nas played 45 minute to hour long sets. Carter Beauford, drummer for Dave Matthews Band, spoke of the event, “We have a profound respect for the incredible resolve and unwavering sense of hope the university community has shown, and are honored to have the opportunity to share this evening with Virginia Tech”. As someone in the audience that night and an alumni of Virginia Tech, it was an honor to be there.

Time lapse video of Lane Stadium the day of The Concert for Virginia Tech

It was a beautiful September night in Blacksburg. September is the best month weather wise in Virginia - always sunny, low humidity, and typically in the 70s and low 80s. As far as I know, there has never been a concert at Lane Stadium, which is the largest stadium in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Even so, DMB is no stranger to Blacksburg. They’ve played countless frat houses at Virginia Tech and Dave + Tim have played Burruss Hall, the main concert hall on campus a couple times.

While I am not the biggest DMB fan, and I had no interest in seeing Nas and very little interest in seeing Phil Vassar or John Mayer, I wanted to attend the concert because of what it represented. The music did not really matter. True to that, Graham and I missed the Nas and Phil Vassar sets because we were too busy enjoying Shrimp & Grits, draft microbrews, and tequila shots on the roof deck of Boudreuax’s. We did make it in for John Mayer though.

While I worked at Musictoday from 2001-2005, John Mayer was one of the few artists I ever spoke to. That’s what happens when you work in IT for a company in the music biz. They just stick you in the basement away from all the stars. Anyhow, I was on a conference call with Mayer to discuss the design of his brand new online fan club, Local 83. I really didn’t get a good or bad impression from the experience. His project was just like any other I worked on at Musictoday, and I had the same average feelings about his music.

John Mayer’s performance at the Concert for Virginia Tech changed my perspective. He stole the show, in my humble opinion. I was really impressed with the performance, which triggered me to buy his last live double album. I will definitely see him again the next time he comes through town.

“Gravity” was the set closer. This was one of those sets that just got better and better after each and every song. “Gravity” was the pinnacle of the night with Leroi Moore adding to the mix. Enjoy.

Foolish Heart - Grateful Dead
10.22.89 - Charlotte Coliseum, Charlotte NC

Grateful Dead 10/22/89
This coming Wednesday, I am going to see the Dead. It will probably be the last time I see the four remaining members of the Grateful Dead on stage together. Twenty years ago this October was my first Dead show, and this is the first song I saw live. I will post several tracks from the two night run today. Hope you enjoy it.

Like so many other “first shows”, I recognized little from the 4 sets during the two night run in Charlotte on the 22nd and 23rd. I owned Workingman’s Dead, In The Dark, and Skeletons (gasp!) at the time. I recall hoping for a Dire Wolf, but there would be no tracks from Workingman’s Dead the entire run.

That’s me on the right after the 10/23 show

This show and the 23rd are very special to me for obvious reasons. Like most of the 18 Grateful Dead shows I attended, they don’t rank near the top for this time period. Still, the Fall ‘89 tour was a very special run as most of you know. The Warlocks shows in Hampton two weeks before Charlotte and the magical night at the Meadowlands in between on Bobby’s birthday (which was eventually released as Nightfall Of Diamonds) are just a few of the highlights.

These shows along with my first Allman Brothers Band show in July of ‘89 introduced to the jam band scene. For that, I am forever grateful (no pun intended) and will be a little bit sad on Wednesday when the show is finally over.

Black-Eyed Katy - Phish
11.22.97 - Hampton Coliseum, Hampton VA

This is the second part of Being There: Hampton ‘97. Click here for Part 1.

Phish Hampton 1997 The 22nd was my first full day at a Hampton Coliseum show. We arrived late on the 21st, so I finally got to truly soak in the Hampton scene. We got a spot in the lot, and I recall listening to my beloved Hokies lose to Pittsburgh on the radio. Oh well. I wasn’t going to let that damper my spirits. I also recall listening to the JGB double live disc all weekend. Damn, that is a good album.

11-22-97 was one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. Phish delivered an opening round knockout punch with “Mike’s > H2O > Weekapaug” followed by “Harry Hood”. After they closed set one with the cover combo of “Frankenstein > Izabella”, one of my buddies declared that it was a hell of show and began heading for the exit. He was not kidding. It was that intense and that good.

I do recall wondering if Phish would deliver the goods in the same funkified fashion as the night before. Fall ‘97 was only a week old at this point. Of course, they did and second set was another Fall ‘97 classic. I really enjoyed the jam out of “Tweezer”, which is my feature mp3 here. Over time, “Black-Eyed Katy” eventually morphed into “Moma Dance”, one of my favorite tracks from The Story of the Ghost. The set closed with an insane “Antelope”, and the only disappointing musical moment of the night was the “Bouncin > Tweezer Reprise” encore, but it didn’t really matter.

The weekend at Hampton had come to a close, but lucky for us we were making the trek down South for another show at Winston-Salem!

Emotional Rescue > Split Open & Melt - Phish
11.21.97 - Hampton Coliseum, Hampton VA

Phish Hampton 1997
My first trip to Hampton Coliseum was November 21st and 22nd, 1997. As I get set to embark on my fourth trip to the spaceship, this was by far the best trip of the them all. I’ll be honest here. My memory of this weekend is very very hazy, so this post is going to be short. We had a hodgepodge of a crew and stayed in two different hotels. I recall the drive from Blacksburg being a white knuckle experience. The car I was in only had one working windshield wiper and it was on the passenger side. Of course, we were driving through a torrential downpour.

We missed the “Emotional Rescue” opener, and came in just at the end. Sucks for us. Thank goodness for the tapers. I recall my roommate Kenny passing out cold inside the show. He turned out ok. Can’t recall any other details of the night. It was a good night.

Back to the show opener though. Of course, the Rescue was a complete surprise, but it’s the SOAM that is the highlight of Set 1. This is the best SOAM that I have seen live. Complete mayhem coming out of Trey’s guitar towards the end of the jam.

As most of you know, Fall ‘97 was a monumental tour. The second set from the 21st is a prime example of why. The “Ghost > AC/DC Bag” totaled about 45 minutes, and then Phish segues into “Slave”. Pure sickness, which was the norm in the Fall of 1997. “Loving Cup” and “Guyute” closed the show, which in 1997 were treats as they had yet to reach “often played” status.

Back to my faint memories of the weekend … Sometime during the trip, our crew discovered Harpoon Larry’s. It’s a Hampton dive, and became an instant favorite. Check out their website. It will take you back to 1997. I hope Graham and I have time to swing by there on Sunday. Might be tough though. I *think* we hit Harpoon Larry’s after the show on the 21st for beers and crawdads, but maybe that was the next day before the show. Anyhow, if you want a true Hampton experience, give Harpoon Larry’s a try this weekend.

I’ll post my few memories of the 22nd tomorrow. Enjoy!

Tweezer > A Day in the Life > Possum > Tweezer Reprise - Phish
08.17.96 - The Clifford Ball, Plattsburgh NY

Phish Clifford Ball I don’t know if I have been this excited about Phish in over 10 years. Next week, Phish is releasing the DVD box set of their monumental festival, The Clifford Ball, which just happens to be my first show(s). Oh, and you thought I was all giddy over Hampton? Ok, I confess - I’m giddy about both.

I’m a little lucky and got my hands on a copy of the box set early and am writing this post as I watch the DVD version of my audio post. Before I begin my recollection of this life-changing weekend, do yourself a favor and buy yourself this piece of Phishistory. You will not be disappointed.

I went to college in 1989, and am from the South. Almost instantly after I left home, I started listening to the Dead and caught my share of Dead shows from ‘89 to ‘95. I also became a fan of Widespread Panic and began seeing them in ‘92. I had many friends encouraging me to see Phish back then. I didn’t listen. I was too busy caught up in the Dead and Panic. I did buy Rift when it came out in ‘93. I liked it, but I didn’t love it. It took me about 2 to 3 years to love it. I just didn’t get Phish at first.

In 1995, I found this crazy thing called the internet. My oldest memories of the internet were finding out about Jerry’s death and learning of the Clifford Ball. Every afternoon, I’d visit the computer lab at my place of work to check out the messages from rec.music.gdead on the green screen. In the Spring of ‘96, most of my time online was spent setting up tape trades or reading sob stories about Jerry. I stumbled upon a post about this Phish festival in upstate New York. There was such an anti-Phish vibe on rec.music.gdead back then, which I never could understand and luckily never agreed with. So even though I wasn’t that into Phish at the time, the Clifford Ball seemed intriguing. It could also fill a big void. It had been a tradition every summer for our crew to see the Dead at RFK. Instead of letting our annual summer trip die with the Dead, why not kick up a notch?

I managed to rope in five others, all good friends, but I wouldn’t say that we were the best of friends at that time in our lives. Five of us left from Annandale, VA around 11pm the night before the first show in two cars - a maroon Honda Accord and white Acura Legend. We drove all night to New York state so we could pick up the 6th member of our crew (Sparky). I took the late night shift along with the owner of the Acura (who we like to call Phatback). It was a beautiful trip through a part of the country I had never seen. We were wide awake on pure excitement (ok, maybe some caffiene), but the excitement was different than any other RFK trip before. I was excited about a new experience, a new script, a new scene.

Sometime in the early morning we arrived at Sparky’s place of residence. He was working in upstate New York, living out of a hotel. I have no memory of where in New York, but I do recall crashing for about an hour before hitting up the local grocery store for lots of beer and bacon (plus a few other things). We rolled into the de-commissioned Air Force Base sometime in the middle of the day on the 16th. We were blown away instantly. I have the videotape to prove it, but unfortunately it’s still on VHS instead of YouTube. It was unlike anything I had ever seen at any concert/festival before.

We parked on the tarmac with about 4 hours to explore before show time. I was amazed with the lack of security. Keep in mind that my perspective at the time was the Dead parking lots from 1995, which was not a good scene at all. Lots of people were at Dead shows just for the buzz and not for the show. Thus, there were lots of cops there too. I couldn’t believe some of the things I saw in the lot at the Ball. Three foot bongs in broad daylight in the middle of the lot. That shit would never fly at any summer tour stop for the Grateful Dead. Of course, that would change quickly in due time. Two years later, I’d see helicopters circling the Merriweather Post parking lot after a show.

I was probably familiar with one-fourth of the songs that Phish played at the Clifford Ball. Here was another contrast with the Dead and Panic shows I had seen in the years before. I knew about 98% of the songs played at those shows, but it didn’t matter here. I was taken aback by the energy from the band and the crowd. It was on a whole new level that I had not seen before at any other live show. Phish was actually having fun! You could see it on their faces through the big screens, and I see it again on the DVDs. It was refreshing.

The concert grounds were also like nothing I had ever seen before. Ball Square (the town square, which I should not have to explain - just buy the box set if you don’t know what I am talking about), Earth Wind and Fire (the names of the three beer gardens), and Mr. Sausage (a sausage vendor) were parts of an elaborate playground inhabited by 70,000 phishheads and the occasional man on stilts.

The performance was phenomenal. As I watched the first set of the first show today, I was reminded of how “on” they were at this time in their career. 1996 is often overlooked in Phish history because of 1994 and 1997, but the fact that they delivered one of the best sets in Phish history right off the bat in front of the largest crowd that they had ever played for proves that Phish was at the top of their game in August of 1996. The jams in Gin and AC/DC Bag are face-melting, and the Divided Sky at sunset over the Adarondacks was, well you had to be there.

I watched all of second set, day one from Fire (or was it Wind?) slugging beers and watching the big screens. This set had great balance. Following a four song acoustic mini-set that highlighted their upcoming Billy Breathes release with a monster Mike’s > Simple > Contact > Weekapaug was a perfect combination.

On the final set of day one, I was introduced to 2001. Whoa. Another new frontier reached this weekend.

What a day. What a first Phish show. I was tuckered out. Time to fall asleep in the Honda accord. Unfortunately, I missed the flatbed jam.

Day two was just as wonderful as day one, if not better. We woke up to a small rain shower, but the skies cleared in the late morning. Bacon grease was flying as hangovers were wearing off. The show started earlier with an afternoon set to make room for the “Clifford Ball orchestra”, who would play just before and at sunset. Of course, our crew thought that was just a cover up for a guest performance by the one and only Carlos Santana.

TheButterRoom.com: It’s Ice - Phish [8/17/96] from The Butter Room on Vimeo.

The second set from Day two is the musical highlight of the festival. It’s been often called the best set in Phishistory. I’m not going to agree or disagree with that statement. I just know it was damn good. Lucky for us fans, a video of this set was leaked shortly after the shows, named “Jimmy’s Dream”. The quality sucked, but we don’t need to worry about that now. The Slave to close this set might have been the musical highlight of the weekend for me. This Slave along with the one from A Live One are the two best Slave’s I’ve ever heard. Hands down.

As the night ended, reality set in. We had to hightail it in the early morning to get one member of our crew to Albany for a flight so he could make it to VASAP class in Richmond. Well, even with a dead battery, we somehow managed to get him on his flight. So what if we had to drive 90 mpg the whole way south to Albany?

The Clifford Ball is one of the few shows that I was truly able to appreciate the epicness of while in the moment. But, it even resulted in something much greater. I saw Phish 16 more times over the course of the next 2 years. So, obviously The Clifford Ball is where and when I began to love Phish. But more importantly, it built the foundation for lifelong friendships with the people that joined me on the Clifford Ball and later festivals. It truly changed my life in a couple ways, and for that I am thankful. See you at Hampton.

Tube > Drowned > Jesus Just Left Chicago - Phish
11.02.98 - E Center, West Valley UT

Phish 11/2/98 If you are a Phish fan, you know about the 11-2-98 show. In front of a half empty arena, which rarely ever happened after 1996, the boys covered Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, sandwiched in between Harpua. It was complete shock and awe, especially at the show following Halloween. I was lucky enough to be there …

In 1998, one of my closest friends (Woodsie) and I traveled cross country from Washington D.C. to Las Vegas and back, all in 3 weeks. At the time, we just became roommates in Falls Church, Virginia and were about to begin our re-entry into the workforce as IT consultants for Andersen Consulting on November 9, 1998. Both of us had just finished our second stints at Virginia Tech, this time in graduate school.

After a weekend of seeing Phish in Vegas for Halloween, Woodsie and I took a well deserved night of rest on November 1st with an old college friend, Phatback, and his cheatin’ girlfriend at their house in Salt Lake City.

Woodise and I kept a journal during the entire cross country adventure. I wrote this review of the 11/2/98 show in our journal 2 days later so the amazement would wear off …

The lot scene was non-existent, but there was an energized vibe because there were so little people at the place. At 7:37 local time, I wrote in our journal, “we are inside the show and there is hardly anyone here. The floor is filled up and the lower level has only a smattering of folks.”

First set opened great. I dig Tube a lot and I didn’t expect Drowned. Both were jammed nicely. The rest of the set was interesting. I liked the two songs that Trey played on acoustic, especially Driver. I was a little disappointed with the Sample closer, but overall the set was played well and unexpected (with 2 rare songs to open and 4 straight new songs in the middle).

Phish from 11/2/98

Second set is where the shit is. I enjoyed the Disease b/c it wasn’t as jammed out as some other versions I have seen. I was in the mood for a solid Disease that ended w/ lyrics, which we were treated to. Mango Song and Moma Dance were both great selections and YEM is also a bonus. This one was shorter than normal, but that was due to what was to come. Harpua was fantastic. Besides the surprise factor, I thought Phish played the album (Dark Side of the Moon) perfectly. Highlights for me were Time, Us and Them, Eclipse, and definitely Great Gig in the Sky w/ Fishman singing. The encore was almost unnecessary, but Teen Spirit was a funny choice.

Fishman singing “Great Gig in the Sky” from 11/2/98

This show would be a 10 if the scene was like the Ball or Went or even Hampton, but it wasn’t, so I’ll give it a 9.9 out of 10 because of the huge surprise, remaining song choices, and the fact that only about 4,000 people were there.

I know it’s overused, but when you look up epic in the dictionary, there is a reference to this show. I wrote the review above without listening to the tapes yet, or reading any feedback online. It was purely from memory. Now, exactly ten years later, I’ve had plenty of time to reflect on what went down.

With the Tube > Drowned > Jesus Just Left Chicago opener, Phish blew the doors of the E Center at the start. Things calmed down a bit after that, and as Trey told the crowd how he and Mike spent last night at the Dead Goat Saloon, Phatback cringed. He tells us that the Dead Goat Saloon is only 7 blocks from his house. Ugh.

The first half of the Set 2 set list from our journal

I recall hearing the opening notes to Harpua as I was walking back from the beer stand, and my stroll instantly turning into a jog. Meanwhile, as Trey begins to tell the story of Jimmy’s cab ride back from Vegas, Woodsie has fit of rage and almost picks a fight with some crazy woman and her drunk husband because they want him to sit down. That’s just plain idiotic to me. You don’t sit down at a Phish show, but you also don’t get all pissy while Phish is playing Dark Side of the Moon? Plus, it was GA and there were plenty of seats! That’s probably why Woodsie rated the show 9.6 instead of 9.9.

Telling the story of Jimmy during Harpua from 11/2/98

During the first few songs of DSOTM, Phatback and I kept asking each other, “Are they playing the whole bleeping album?”. About the time when “Money” started, we knew the answer. It took a while, but we had big buzzes to support and Phatback is the biggest Pink Floyd fan I know, so this was his wet dream.

Phatback and I at the 11/2/98 show

After the show, my friend Woodsie wasn’t done. He obviously was disappointed that he didn’t throw a punch at that guy, so he decides to throw me down on the ground right outside the ZCMI Center without warning. From that point forward, the term “getting thrown down ZCMI-style” is a well known phrase within our circle of friends as a point of fair warning that someone is about to go down hard.

We properly finish the night at O’Shucks, a local hangout of Phatback’s, and close the place down with the bartenders, drinking peperoncini martinis. Then we head back to Phatback’s and call our friends back east, waking them and their wives/girlfriends just to tell them that Phish played Dark Side of the Moon, the whole bleeping album! Our friends don’t find humor or interest in our call at 4:30 in the morning on a Monday night. Just anger and jealousy, I guess.

Looking back, this is clearly my favorite non-festival Phish show. Not trying to brag, only to provide my perspective, I’ve seen some pretty good ones - Halloween ‘96, the Sabotage breakout show at Merriweather in ‘98, Walnut Creek ‘97, and Hampton ‘97 to name a few. The 11-2-98 show raised a lot of questions (and even anger) in the Phish community back then. Some fans thought that the DSOTM performance occurred for one of the following reasons:

Phish was saving this performance for the real phans since their Halloween shows had become a circus attracting many from outside the Phish community, or
Phish was musically flipping the bird to everyone who complained about the Halloween show, and decided to skip Salt Lake.

You Enjoy Myself from 11/2/98

Who knows and who cares at this point?

One thing is for sure, 11-2-98 was a perfect ending to our cross country trip. We left for home the next day, and decided to skip the Denver show on the 4th. There was no way in hell that Denver could top what we just saw. Let’s end it on a high note, and get back to the real world on K Street.

Comes A Time - Grateful Dead
10.09.94 - Cap Centre, Landover MD

Grateful Dead 10/09/94
1994 ended up being the final fall tour for the Grateful Dead. Fall ‘95 dates were announced, mail order was processed, and tickets were shipped, but of course, it never happened. This meant that the ‘94 Cap Centre run were the final shows ever at the home of the Washington Capitals and Washington Bullets in the D.C. suburb of Landover, Maryland. The Dead played the Cap Centre 29 times during a 20 year span. That’s more performances than the Boston Garden (24), Hampton Coliseum (21), and Meadowlands Arena (16). It was the biggest arena in the metropolitan D.C. area in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. That was the primary reason why it was a regular tour stop. At least that’s my opinion. I don’t see why else the Dead would frequent the place so many times. My only stop at the Cap Centre was October 9, 1994 and from what I recall, the venue sucked. Out on the beltway, it was a large cavernous hockey arena with crappy sound and strict security. When I caught the boys there in ‘94, the name of the venue had changed to US Air Arena, which Deadheads coined US Scare Arena for more reasons than one.

Even so, I was going to see the Grateful Dead and what I wouldn’t give to see them again, even in their ‘94 form. 10/9/94 was a Sunday. I had just spent the last 48 hours destroying my liver at Virginia Tech for Homecoming, my first one as an alum. I extended my weekend of debauchery by making the trek up I-81 and then east on I-66 to Northern Virginia for the big show. Years later, I found out that my wife, who I met in 1997, was at the show as well - the only Dead show she attended. We arrived there in grand style, in Grandma’s Oldsmobile (not my Grandma, but someone else in our crew). It was raining and cold for October, so the lot scene was pretty lame except for this photo opp with Felix.

Once inside, we actually sat in our seats, which were in the nosebleeds. There was really no room to find 4 better seats and as I noted earlier, the security sucked so seat hopping was a difficult task. The sound was horrible, very muddled. The set list was strong, especially for ‘94. It was a Rex Foundation Benefit show, so tickets were a bit pricier than normal and I guess the boys paid us back by extending each set by a one or two songs. Still though, it wasn’t a stellar performance. It was the Grateful Dead in 1994.

But, to steal the cheesy phrase from March Madness, there was one shining moment that I will never forget. After a post-space Miracle, Jerry led the band into “Comes A Time”. During the Jerry ballad portion of second set, you could always hear a pin drop. The 10/9/94 show was no exception. It was so quiet, that the sound in US Scare Arena became crystal clear. The Dead busted out the first “Comes A Time” in a year and a half, and it would prove to be the final “Comes A Time”. It’s not an epic version, but it is the last and most important to me, a memory from this evening that I will never forget.

My view on 10/9/94

When it was all said and done, the Dead only played “Comes A Time” 66 times in 2,318 shows. Compare that to the other Jerry ballads that were debuted in the 60s and 70s: “Wharf Rat” (393), “Morning Dew” (253), “Black Peter” (343), and “China Doll” (114). Even “Standing on the Moon”, first played in the late 80s, was performed more times than “Comes A Time”. When you look back at the setlists though, it’s not surprising that the Dead busted out “Comes A Time” that night. The Cap Centre has a history of firsts, busts outs, and finales. The first “Touch of Grey” was performed there on my sister’s 9th birthday, 9-15-82. The final electric version of “Ripple” was a bust out at the Cap Centre on 9-3-88, first one in over 17 years. The first “Black-Throated Wind” in almost 16 years was played on 3-16-90. The final “China Doll” (10-11-94), “Reuben & Cherise” (3-17-91), and “Two Soldiers Jam” (3-17-93) all happened there, and then there was the final “Cosmic Charlie”, performed on 9-25-76.

While the acoustics, the surroundings and physical structure were nothing out of the ordinary, the memories and music inside the Cap Centre were quite the opposite. The Cap Centre was truly a special place to see the Grateful Dead.

Setlist:
Grateful Dead, Sunday 10/09/94 - US Air Arena, Landover MD

Set One:
Hell in a Bucket, Bertha, Spoonful, Stagger Lee, Broken Arrow, Me & My Uncle > Big River, So Many Roads, Promised Land

Live & Let Die - Guns N Roses
12.28.91 - Florida Suncoast Dome, St. Petersburg FL

GNR 12/28/91 Over the holidays, I was trying to recall if I caught any shows in late December. There are just a few, but this one came to mind.

I was a huge fan of Guns N Roses during their prime. I had all of their albums and caught them 3 times between 1991 and 1993. This show fell on Winter Break, and that meant I would be at home in Jacksonville. Four hours to the south and west was St. Pete, a perfect getaway for my high school buddies and I in between Christmas and New Years to see the most popular band of the early 90s.

The Florida Suncoast Done is now called the Trop, where the ~~Devil~~ Rays play. We had 7th row seats front and center, the closest I had ever been to the stage at that point in time. As we were escorted to our seats by the usher, we passed a gorgeous tall brunette sitting next to a small child seated a couple rows behind us. That would be Axl Rose hearthrob and Victoria Secret model Stephanie Seymour. Yea, we had good seats.

This show occurred after the riot in St. Louis when Axl jumped off the stage and cut the concert short, so we were prepared for a long night and our fingers were crossed for an Axl in a good mood. The crowd inside was fired up. I mean filled with bourbon fired up. It was a people watching show. The big screens were broadcasting live clips of the crowd in between opening act Soundgarden and the main event, which several girls used to seize the moment by showing their breasts. Gotta love hard rock shows.

The St. Louis Incident

Axl, Slash, and the boys came out to play at a decent time, only less than an hour after the publicized show time and they put on a show. It was by far the best GNR show I ever caught, and one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen. This was a band at the top of their game at the height of their popularity. There are not many bands that I have seen at their pinnacle, but this was one of them. Two and a half hours of solid playing that covered their entire discography.

Setlist:
Guns N Roses, Saturday 12/28/91 - Flordia Suncoast Dome, St. Petersburg FL

Set One:
Welcome To The Jungle, Mr. Brownstone, Live And Let Die, Double Talkin’ Jive, Civil War, Wild Horses [Intro] / Patience, Nightrain, Attitude, Don’t Cry, You Could Be Mine, So Fine, Bad Obsession, November Rain, Drum Solo, Guitar Solo, Godfather Theme, Rocket Queen, Sail Away Sweet Sister / Bad Time [Intro] / Sweet Child O’ Mine, Only Women Bleed [Intro] / Knocking On Heaven’s Door,

Down With Disease > Low Rider > Down With Disease - Phish
11.23.97 - Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Winston-Salem NC

Phish 11/23/97 With the rumors flying about Phish announcing more tour dates tomorrow, I thought I would highlight a Phish show this week for “Being There”.

Can you ever get enough of Fall ‘97? I sure can’t. After two legendary nights at Hampton (the best Phish Hampton shows in my humble opinion), Sparkz and I traveled southbound to Winston-Salem, North Carolina to close out our three day pre-Thanksgiving Phish weekend. We met fellow Butter Room resident, Curry, and several other college friends who made the short drive from Virginia Tech that day.

The 11/23/97 show definitely gets overshadowed by the Hampton shows the nights before, but it contained some serious tasty treats. Before I get to the music, I’ll share some of my hazy memories of the scene. Lot scene - don’t really remember one at all. I think everyone was arriving late from Hampton, and for good reason. I do recall trying to score tickets to see moe. play an “after show” at Ziggy’s, which is a well-known venue in the South that is within walking distance of the coliseum. Unfortunately, it was sold out. That would have been quite a double bill of music. Inside the venue - Very casual, which Daddy liked. GA seating and get this, the venue had a Gumbo vendor. Of course on any other night, I wouldn’t dare spend cash on Gumbo in a basketball arena in the middle of North Carolina, but 11/23/97 was not any other night. That Gumbo was a delicious pre-game appetizer. We settled in to our seats directly across the stage in the lower level. Perfect location.

In addition to the gumbo, LJWM Coliseum served up a fantastic night of music. The first set was highlighted by Black-Eyed Katy, which was also played at Hampton. Black-Eyed Katy was brand spankin’ new in the Fall of 1997, but I was lucky enough to get it at both Hampton and Winston-Salem. I don’t know if hearing it once before had anything to do with it, but I felt this one was jammed out a bit more than at Hampton. The second set was the heat. A 31 minute Bathtub Gin kicked off the second set. It was tough not to post that as the mp3 from this show, but I promise to post it on Phish Friday. I decided to post the DWD > Low Rider > DWD. I’m a sucker for rarities and the Low Rider came out of nowhere. It was not the musical highlight of the night nor well-rehearsed, but it was a lot of fun and topped off with the end of DWD that was shred to pieces.

In my search of the internets for more 11/23/97 content, I found some old reviews of 11/23/97 on phish.net. Enjoy.

Setlist:
Phish, Sunday 11/23/97 - Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Winston-Salem NC

My Soul, Theme from the Bottom, Black-Eyed Katy, Sparkle, Twist, Stash> NICU, Fluffhead, Character Zero
