my first show and still is #2 best show that i had ever been to (big cyprus - #1) the bag to open the show into psycho killer is obviously amazing and to encore with a day in the life - to me was insane as the beatles were my band until the conclusion of this show!! The best part of the show in my opinion would have to be steep > swept away in the middle of a phat ice.
I still think of this show at least once a week - it is quite amazing!! Get this show if you don`t have it already

I`ve never posted a review before, and I don`t know why I feel a need to now...it`s probably a bit of nostalgia kicking in. I somehow ended up in the front row at this show, and the whole experience of this show (not to mention this whole tour) left me smiling with my mind blown for at least several weeks. Wow! Fall 97 was a goooood time. The AC/Dc-->Psycho Killer changed the way I thought about music, I tell you.

The first set of this show is one of my all-time favorites. The AC/DC>Psycho and Tube>Slave segues will leave you smiling. The second set definitely holds its own as well. I know everyone has said it many times, but fall tour `97 was a special time, and I`m thankful I was able to attend some of those magical shows. It was something else. What a band.

Definitly the best vocal and musical performance I have heard out of Phish in my 20 shows. Dayton 97 was enough to blow even the most seasoned phans mind, Even if you don`t like the set list!!!! The Bag into Psycho Killer into a quickened tempo Jesus left Chicago will get you there. Check out the Timber on set 2 as well. I would put this Dayton Show`s and crowd`s energy against any in history. The CD sound quality "Does" do this show justice. It`s a must have!

As a phan of phish new and old, i must say the dayton show must be in anyones top 5 list of all-time greates phish shows.to me, dayton 97 and arrowhead 91 are the phattest phish shows ever. too bad i only saw one of the two to download. Even if you took away the super super phat `tube` and the almost as sick `theme`, you will still have a show that will never get old. the ice/swept/ice still puts me into a peaceful coma. throw in a beatles cover and you`re a happy camper. GET THIS SHOW

7!!!!! Grateful Dead 1977, Phish 1997. I`ve seen 28 shows since 1997. It`s really funny cause I remember this being like `the headiest bootleg` in the first few years I saw them and traded shows with people. I`ve loved my times with Phish. I`ll keep seeing them till the day I die but I do think that this year was their pinnacle, particularly fall. I have a feeling I`ll always say that my three 97 shows, Hartford 11/26, tour closer in Albany 12/13, and Darien Lake 8/14 with Kesey and the Pranksters are the best shows I`ve ever seen Phish play. The comeback shows were fun and it`s only gotten better since hiatus. Summer 03 was the bomb! I hope the Vermont Festival comes through this summer. I`m totally broke so it`s either that or Bonnaroo.
