Notes: Unlike many Runaway Jim and Foam combos, the opening to this show contained an actual segue between the two songs. Possum included Auld Lang Syne teases. Before Guyute, Trey teased Spill the Wine. This epic Bowie, which times out at nearly 34 minutes, included whistling and a “Lassie” chant, as well as Paradise City teases and a brief 2001 tease from Mike. GTBT included Heartbreaker teases. My Long Journey Home was performed acoustic. This show was officially released as Live Phish 20.

I listened to this Bowie on the way to and from class (half on the way there, half on the way back), and it is so feckin awesome. Really, the whole show is pretty incredible. A standout show from one of my three favorite years of Phish. Absolutely worth an all-the-way-through listen to get the full effect. It seems like a lot of older shows were so perfectly pieced together, and this is one of them.

i was listening to this bowie again today.

at about the 23:40 mark (if you start with the delay loop jam) it almost sounds like a “saints go marching in” tease from trey.

Absolutely awesome show. The Bowie speaks for itself. I don’t know about you guys, but I absolutely love My Long Journey Home.

Happy 20th Anniversary LP20! Well, the show’s twenty, not the disc release thereof.

Was there with my brother and my best friend, what a great Phish show this one was.
