UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! This show is hands down my absolute favorite Phish show. My favorite Phish years were between 94-97 and this one is hands down my absolute favorite. I still get goosebumps everytime I listen to Slave and Guyute. Of all the Phish shows I own those two songs are my absolute favorite from any show. BUY THIS SHOW!!!

Best first set.....ever! Anytime you have some Talking Heads then you know the boys are going to throw down.

The thing about this show--It sounds GREAT. Summer is coming and Lordy how i`m, and probably all of you are, jonesing for great show. So why not settle for a download?? So here we go. YEAH from what you read 97 was the year of the funk and in this show it grooves from the get-go. There are no pauses in the first three selections. The Ac/DC jam quickly melds into Psycho killer and the band lays the funk down. Then it`s in the Jesus song and OMG you know the band is having a great time. It`s like you`re getting second set performance in the first set. ANd yeah it does get better than that.

MMGAMOIO great surprise to hear that. Only ever time i`ve heard it is on tape from the middle ROXY show 93. HEY LIVEPHISH WHERE IS THAT SHOW MY TAPE IS SO WORN! ICE>Sweptaway is very cool. Don`t be skeptical. The swept away is gorgeous. TFTB is fairly standard, but a great run through nonetheless. The funk comes back strong in TUBE and runs all the way through the JAM. Slave closes the first set during which Trey`s wearing his heart on his sleeve for y`all in the house that drove from who knows where to get there. Beautiful job guys.

CAN the second set top the first? Well naturally it does...
Timber is great (though i prefer the 95 show on LIVE PHISH I, that whole second set is just amazing). Wolfman`s BRO is a great laid back time. Smoke EM if you got IT cause you`ll need it when it segues into Reggae Woman which spends it`s last moments reminicing the earlier set`s jamming. And Reba? Always love hearing that song, one of the first songs that got me into the band. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THE ONE FROM THE ROXY 93 AGAIN :) Guyute is cool, but i have to admit i`m not a huge fan of this song. It`s ROCKS though for the rest of you. And finally POSSUM. This one is a KING Possum since you asked me. If i wasn`t dancing all over the furniture I would have been on the edge of my seat. It great to hear Trey picking so well with band backing him up telepathically as they repeat the jam sections and come to exploding climax after climax. PHISH is better than sex (most of the time).

Ah Day in the Life. My buddy and I were dosed at Red Rocks in 95 when they played this one for the first time. Thanks for the what memories i have left...
(ROXY ROXY ROXY ROXY)
peace y`all

Amazing show, first phish for me folks. And it was the best version of Ac/Dc Bag I`ve heard

Man, this show had to be the highlight of the fall of 97. the tube alone is worth the money.

Yeah! This was one of my favorite all time shows. The Timber blew me away as well as the Boogie On Reggae woman. I am so glad I finally got the internet, now I can get the show and listen to it and remember how great it was. It is also interesting to see that it is on the top five.

hands down ONE of the best shows phish has played. killer > jesus. so nasty. gotta love whenever Phish plays the heads. icw>swept>ice is a doozy, but i always LOVE theme, and this one does it for me. The TUBE is basically a `nuff said situation. the dayton jam is just flat out funk, and thats what i love the best when phish plays it. to end the sick set w/ slave is just perfect. now i LOVE timber and this one is no where short of sick. wolf>boogie just keeps the funk rolling right along from the first set. the next three songs are tight as hell to end the show. i love the beatles so A day in the life is just a treat to tie/cap up this monster show. some hose here for sureee.... pay the money my friend my friend, pay it.
