This is the second complete non-officially released Phish show I ever acquired (behind 7-11-00).

Excellent first set “Reba” Great “Tweezer -> Moma,” too. A looooong, spacey intro to “YEM.” Quite possibly the longest ever, if I’m not mistaken.

Love the “So Lonely” encore.

A sort of hidden-gem among the fall 1998 tour shows, a tour that seems to not get a lot of respect around here. I love it infinitely more than the summer tour, that’s for sure.

Fun, ROCKIN’ first set here. This one will get ya going.
