man, i was there. no doubt, on the beer line when chalkdust kicked in, and i said to the guy next to me, watch out, this is going to be different. well, the first set was killer, including a wolfman that was both unexpected and severely welcomed. the second set, capped by a YEM ive never heard before, and ive heard it 7 times, was the mother of it all...the good times/bad times first set closer was tight as hell and all in all was the best show ive been to...the best was walking up 787 afterward in a t-shirt, just trying to get home, i wound up in the bad part of town, whereby a good fellow told me, "man you outta place, you get killed...ill walk you home, you must be freezin'..."and across henry johnson blvd. we went, stride for stride...

I was at this show... 19th row even! I was happy to have the feeling that I caught the two best shows of the aniversery run the next day after reading Boston's set lists... (Nassua was the other) I think the possum w/ Jeff was the high light for me! Even the 2 hour ride home and work at 7:00 am could not bring me down from that! I still feel very lucky to have caught this show!

I was at this show and all the pepsi shows and this one was soooo dope! Camel walk threw fire with Holdsworth was just insane. Light show as usual there was the best! I'd like to see all the pepsi shows make it on this site especially the 97/98 etc.. they were all killer!

Just downloaded this. HOLY MOTHER is it good. "YEM" had me in awe (as did "Tweezer"). I highly recommend it. This is "in the moment" playing at its finest!

The stast in this show is way different then any other stast I have ever heard. That is saying something because I have heard a good 25 stashes. I am a huge fan of stash. This one just goes where I have never heard it go before. or differently that is. Not that is is the best or anything. It is a good stash. Its great. I like it becuase finnaly after about 5 minutes of some sweet 03` esque jamming trey just slides that stash tune right into what they got going. It works out incredibly. The wolfmans is also very good. Another great version of a song that I have heard alot of. very well done. The long cool woman is also a cool little cover. seldom heard

After hearing/reading a lot of negative reviews about this show I finally DL`ed it and listened to it today. It rocked!

however, what I really want to say is this:

Anybody who wants to complain that Jeff`s appearance at this show "ruined" the set or the show for them is not a true Phish fan. A fan of good music, perhaps, but not a true Phish fan.

It`s a self-centered view, in my opinion, to think that Trey, Mike, Page & Fishman invited Jeff onto the stage for OUR benefit or entertainment. No, it was for thier own (including Jeff`s) benefit. 20+ years of giving us all the greatest moments of our lives warrants the right to invite a guest out onto stage, regardless of sloppiness.

And honestly, I don`t think he sounded that bad, considering it had probably been YEARS since he picked up a guitar and played those songs.

Good for him, good for Phish, and good for the fans that accept this show for what it is: A snapshot of history that comes along with a fantastic soundtrack.

THANK YOU PHISH!

Two of the greatest YEM`s ever were played in the same place. One of the great all-time venues and shows. Who cares that Jeff was sloppy. Once in a lifetime. It`s history!!
