[4] Phish debut. He Ent to the Bog was played on a tape in the background.

Notes: Harpua included the Vibrations of Life and Death. Jimmy decided to put on his favorite album Barney’s Greatest Hits, but turned his turntable on the wrong way and started playing it backwards. Fishman then proceeded to sing a verse of War Pigs. Trey subsequently teased I Love You before Harpua resumed. Poster was swallowed up into the earth by the Vibration of Death. “The Vibration of Death is gone” replaced the usual “The storm is gone.” A Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon tease (the heartbeats from Speak to Me) was pumped through the P.A. at the beginning of the second set. The second set “musical costume” was The Beatles’ The Beatles (also known as The White Album). All of the White Album songs, other than Piggies, were Phish debuts, although Ob La Di, Ob La Da had been jammed or teased on many occasions. Piggies was played for the first time since 11/14/85 (876 shows). Birthday wasn’t sung; Page and Mike noodled a bit while Fishman presented a birthday cake to Brad Sands, who accepted it while wearing a Fishman dress. The background tape playing along with Revolution 9 was Mike’s composition He Ent to the Bog from Phish’s White Tape. The song ended with Fishman stark naked and running around while the band blew bubbles and waved. Good Night was taped from the album and closed the second set. The third set began with a Custard Pie tease. This show was officially released as Live Phish 13.

This 3rd set is sometimes overlooked, but it’s got great versions of Bowie, Slave and Antelope!

been listening to this one for a few days now, & i keep being reminded why i got into this band in the first place

Yep…amazing. What a feat, what balls it takes to try to pull something like this off. And the third set is definitely not a throw-away set like the last to Halloween set III’s were. While the previous show (Spartanburg) featured the first little guitar solo at the end of Simple, this is the first version that I would say they “jammed out” and it is a beautiful piece of music and they follow it up with one of the most scorching Divided Sky’s I’ve ever heard. And the Reba is delicious too.

Do I really need to say anything about the second set?

The third set does have an awesome Bowie, Slave, and Antelope. You can kind of sense the delight they were feeling after playing the whole White Album in the third set. Kind of like “holy shit we really just did that, and it was awesome!”. It’s extremely evident in the Antelope intro…they’re having a blast.

I also really like the groove that Page, Mike, and Fish lay down during the costume contest. They should trim out the vocals and release just that little groove as a bonus track somewhere :wink:

Best wedding gift ever?

Most definitely!

Listened to this show this morning to get the week started right. This has quite possibly my favorite reba ever.

Put on disc four/set three last night. Holy shit, everything they say about Phish in 94 is completely true. I mean I knew that to be true already … and yet I’m blown away regardless, know what I mean? The playfulness, the attitude, the aggression, and all of that with near-perfect delivery.

That DSky from set one is like the fuckin’ best, ain’t it?

I think I gotta seek out LP20 now, just to get the SBD of that show … I’ve always just been like, eh, the AUD’s good enough. But that Halloween SBD is so so sweet.

My favorite Sky, for sure. Love the lightning fast Buried Alive tease. I post it on facebook atleast twice a year.
