This show was tight, I was there but just DL`d the mp3`s and it is just as tight as I remember. The whole second set rocks. I`ve been to over 200 shows since `92 and this is one of the tops. I love when phish just rock`s hard and leaves you gasping for air. Hopefully they are practicing hard for the final run. I`m bummed, but can`t wait to see what happens when phish is saying to themselves "wow, this is the last time I`m going to play this, better make it good!".

Goddamn this show is awsome! A must have most deffinitely. Nothing beats the Tweezer>2001>YEM(tight and great jamming). The first set is full of great tunes as well. And as sloppy as some moments are during Jeff Holdsworth`s stay are, they have there moments, particularly in Possum. This is in my opinion the best Phish show of 2003.

well first off for the people who dont want to read long reviews.... this show is deffinately worth the 10 bucks. Pure rocker through and through. But as for analysis here it goes...... opening chords of chalkdust set a great mood and pretty much told what the night was going to bring for all of us. Great version trey is one of my fav trey solos this year. Stash is always a good treet... this one got a little spacey at times but was nice to hear. Guyute was tight as hell.... a little sloppy at end but hey... thats why we love phish, they are real. Thunderhead was the onlu lul of the night, its good to throw in so we dont have heads exploding from all the nergy. Sparkle is one of the funnest tunes to hear live, the whole crowd was singing and dancing and the song was tight. Not enough space on the internet for me to talk about this wolfmans bro. Tight and phunky as hell. One of my favs since being a phish phan started for me. GTBT was a rockin set closer, everyone was glad the set was over because they needed a breather so they could jam the next set. man were lucky there is set breaks. When they came out and rocked tweezer everyone went nuts. the jam was good, not to long, not to short, well i could have rocked it a little longer but hey, cant please everybody. 2001 was tight and everyone thought that we would get another lul for a cool down but wait........ whats that? YEM! no one expected it... we figured it would get saved for the actual aniversary. great version, tight in every aspect energy was huge at the first BOY! The whole crowd yelled i could barely hear trey. Great, great YEM. ranks up there with YEM`s from the early nineties phish. I was to young to go to shows back then so i cant really judge the energy but at this show it couldnt have gotten any higher. Everyone was singing and dancing. when Holdsworth came out it was a moment to remember. Camel walk, possum, and long cool woman were pretty slow and sloppy but they were awsome for historical reasons. Jeff pretty much lead and the boys tried as hard as possible to back him up so he sounds good. Must have been hard for em, but i aint complaining. Jeffs never performed for that many people. But antelope was a little tighter, they turned jeff down so they could give it there all. The fire encore left everyone on a rockin good note to end the night, couldnt have asked for a better encore. well actually theres a few songs, but that dont matter. It was a rocking encore for a rocking night. Left me waiting for next show in my area! SPAC here I come!!!!!!!!!! see ya there boys and girls, and phish of course!

I just listened to this show and had to wonder: have these guys ever tried walking on water? This isn`t just an amazing Phish show, it`s an amazing show. Period. I have seen and heard a lot of great shows and this is by far one of the very best.
Forget the best of it. I`m blown away by things I normally yawn at. Wolfman`s Brother. Silly at best. Boring at worst. Not so here. Here it has all the power of the best "Stash." That`s just one example. I could gush all night, but I won`t. Instead, I`ll just say: DOWNLOAD THIS SHOW! Even if you aren`t really into Phish and only find them mildly interesting, I swear you will love this. For those who don`t like Phish, well, what are you doing reading this review?
Seriously, this show is special from the the first mind-bending bars of "Chalk-Dust Torture," (one of my favorites) to the red-hot "Fire" encore. This is what Rock & Roll is supposed to be. The only thing better than this show is the fact that they let us download it! Thanks guys!

Another great show for the Tweezer connoisseur! The Tweezer>2001>YEM is incredible! A dream come true! The YEM is probably the best since the Albany ’95 show…something about Albany and YEM’s. This seemed to be the REAL anniversary show, having Jeff show up was awesome and they sound great with him. And, amazingly, the Thunderhead is incredible…definitely emerged into its hidden potential here. This show is as good as it gets, and the gettin is good.

this was my first show since shoreline 2000 and it could not have been any better. I have seen the boys play about 25 times starting in 95` and this show is definetly in the top 5. Pure energy from the opening chords of chalkdust to the ending chords of fire. The wolfmans jam was sick and funky and stash was just one of those songs that I was longing to hear. The second set was for sure the topper for me. I would have been satisfied that night just to hear tweezer>2001>YEM. the crowd was never expecting YEM and they pulled it out and nailed it. Not only was the setlist unreal, but the appearence of Jeff just put this show over the top and into phishtory. Maybe it was because it was my first show since hiatus, but i think this is one of the best shows they have played in many years.

My longtime appreciation for the Grateful Dead/good music and being a musician myself would ultimately lead me to become a Phish fan at one point or another, and I`m glad I did in time to see this show. My personal highlights are many; Chalkdust, Stash, Wolfman`s Brother, GTBT, Tweezer, 2001, YEM, and Run Like an Antelope are the ones I haven`t stopped listening to since I downloaded this two days after the actual show. This show is packed full of non stop dancing energy and is great to rock out to time after time. I own 6 Live Phish albums and several others downloaded off the net and to me( a newbie) this beats them all except maybe A Live One(Especially Harry Hood). If your just getting into Phish or browsing around get this show for balls out rock n` roll and funk. If there`s one thing I can say to strenthen the credibilty of my statement its that I got into Phish for the music not to get wasted so take it from someone who`s all about the music; This show rocked!!!
