I’ve never really understood why all people really talk about with the 4 night RR stand in 96 is the aftermath of the town and how Phish was banned. The shows are really good. This one opens in pretty standard fashion, but the jam in Melt really sets the tone for the rest of the run. It’s very good and dark. The Maze in the first set is also pretty fierce. I love the AC/DC Bag->Reba turn to open set two…both have really good jams. The Bowie and Slave are also top-notch too.
