The famed Run Like An Antelope from the second set is a must have. The best part is when Trey sings the Marco Esquandolas lyrics over the music to Have Mercy. Great segues and just an overall great show.
This is easily on my top-5 Antelope’s list. Love this show overall, Mound is one of my favorite Phish tunes and it also sounds quite nice. Everytime I listen to the first segment of Antelope (track wise), I hear “There’s a Doctor” by The Who at about 6:30 to 6:45 into the song. Page’s piano always makes me think of that. Tommy is one of my favorite 5 albums, so maybe I just have it on the brain. The guitar riffs in Sparks are some of the best ever, Trey crushes them, I’ll bet Pete Townshend approves!
The “YEM” from this show is really good, too! One of my favorites from 1993.
