awesome show. ya mar was good, and i really enjoyed theme from the bottom. saw it again had a lot of energy, and this was the first time that i had heard two versions of me live, and i was very impressed. mikes groove was very energetic. trey messed up the ending of mikes song, but was able to bring it together. mr. completely had a lot of energy and it turned into one fine piece of phish. the bbfcfm was crazy with all of the transitions and eventually back into mr. completely, it was simply awesome. walls of the cave was sweet as was slave to the traffic light. sleeping monkey was a pretty good encore as well. great show, definitely worth downloading

this show was awesome. the acdc bag was a good opener the crowd small but energetic. this made the show much more powerful. the jam on mr. completly was great and very complex. the first set was much better then the second but it still was good. definitly buy this show

I know I am a little late in posting this review, but at the time I saw the show, I didn`t think it would be the last time I saw the band. I saw Phish every time they played Salt Lake and surrounding areas. This included jams with Bela Fleck at Salt Air in `92, Triad Center, Delta Center, Parkwest Ski Area, `97 E-Center (Guyute and super Spacey second set), and most importantly the infamous `98 Dark Side of the Moon performed at the E-Center in SLC the show after Halloween in Vegas. The 2003 gig at the newly built USANA Amphitheatre was unique in many ways: the setlist had a fair share of new times (Two Versions, Secret Smile, the horrendous Spread-it Round), a few seldom played tunes (I Saw it Again and BBFCFR) , and some classics (AC/DC Bag, Golgi, Mikes-Hydrogen-Weakapaug, Trafficlight) as well as the epic Mr. Completely only previously performed by Trey`s band. It was a beautiful summer night, the weather was gorgeous. I had been living in Israel since 2000 as a medical student and hadn`t seen a live show in 3 years. From the first notes of AC/DC Bag I was as happy as I ever remember being. When the song kicked into gear I was literally skipping like a fool in utter abandon much to the embarrassment of my younger brother. Ya Mar was a nice tune to follow and the quiet interplay at the end of the tune put me back on earth as I stared across the valley to the Wasatch Range all green and ripe. A surprise follow-up was the delectable tune `The Bottom, which achieved a nice ditorted distortion chord crescendo and then wended its way to that absurdly comical chorus. "Poor Heart` was a speed-demon standard and quite a contrast in style and sound to the previous number. The piano solo always kills me in this little song. If you wanted to pick a contrasting number, the next tune `Saw it Again` is basically a horror movie soundtrack with a demented jam that swirled as the scared voice screams `saw it again!` The brillian sunset with crocheted clouds and red wine, red blood cell color show was then sandwiched between `Two Versions of Me` and `Secret Smile.` As if this wasn`t enough a nicely rendered classic `Mikes,Hydrogen, Weakapaug` was nailed to end the first set. I was satisfied at this point and ready to go home and hibernate for another three years, but instead was blown away into outer space by the Mr. Completely 30 minute Jam that opened set two. Groovin` danceable jam that a had a hard-edged Trey sound - a little heavy on distortion. The groove reinvention after groove reinvention had a forward drive to it that carried me and all of the grass dwellers into spinnable netherworld. I journeyed into the far reaches of my subconscious and re-emerged in a transformed state on planet groove. The hilarity of ` Low Rider` and the `BBFCFM` `Ha Ha Ha` segment provided a sojourn back to my skater days of youth. After bringing us back to the ending of Mr. Completely - the utter downer of the show was the attempt at the new tune `Spread it Round,` which was so repetitive and silly as to make me laugh and shake my head in utter disbelief at the chorus going on and on and on in bad corny inside joke fashion. The `Walls of the Cave` was a beautiful call and a song I had looked forward to hearing - the jam reaches an energetic crescendo! The `Slave to The Traffic Light` was nailed and the comical `Sleeping Monkey` with mock beatles stylings lent a nice air of the beautiful Zen like absurdity to the reinvention of another Phish show - my last. Thanks boys.

I cannot find anything remarkable about this show, except the nicely jammed out MR. COMPLETELY bust out. The first set is plain average at best. I don`t understand this hype. Even the rest of the second set is terribly sloppy (Walls..). This one wouldn`t even make my TOP 10 of 2003. (1: Miami 12/28, 2: The Gorge 07/13, 3: Burgettstown 07/29, 4: Nassau 02/28, 5: IT, 6: NYE Miami 12/29, 7: Deer Creek 07/21, 8: Albany 12/1, 9: Miami 12/30, 10: Miami 12/31.) Anyway, I miss this band badly. Releasing the PHISH Calendar 2005 on Drygoods makes me feel terrible.

Oh my God!!! This show was just the Jazm start to finish. My personal favorite of this tour.

Wow - after being biased that 2/28 was the best show of the year, this show proved me wrong. a very fun acdc bag to open the show, followed by a very melodic and tight ya mar. an extremely energetic theme, very well played. saw it again was good too, as always. the mikes was unusually slow, but very distortion driven by trey. they never really get on the same page, and theres no real theme evident. sloppy segue into h2. the paug, on the other hand, is incredible. just fantastic. becomes minor, and very ambient. cool beat, nice theme. awesome. set 2 is insane... the mr completely is rockin for a bit, then it mellows out and they find a theme to play off. very interesting, real sick jam through low rider and the rest. an epic performance by the boys, i love it

I despise everyone that got to see this second set. I`ve listened to it so many times and each time I hear a new great thing or two about it. Page`s piano comping is so good during these jams. I`m gonna talk up this show for a damn long time.
