4/2/98

Phish Live Shows
#6

I whole-heartedly disagree…

I just received my CDs and played the first set of 4.2:
The 1st set didn’t really pick up until the last 5 minutes of “Stash”…very melodic and spacey jam that dissolved into “Horn.” Now normally I skip “Waste” on most listens, but I listened to this one to get the full Island Tour experience. I wasn’t disappointed; gorgeous Trey soloing at the end. “Simple” was beautiful as gregradiohead pointed out (and contained some really really good Mike in the jam), and “Chalkdust,” despite a minor flub heading back into the lyrics, was ALL Page.

Great first set, still need to hear the 2nd set as well as the other 3 shows!!!

#7

Where is the “Aliens are coming jam”???

#8

This “Tube” is a phunking!!

#9

Should be the Twist.

My Mind’s–>NICU is so damn sloppy, but it doesn’t even matter! Great show.

Twist is dark and scary, and interesting.

and I usually enjoy a Wolfman’s–>Sally.

#11

I do enjoy this “Twist,” to be sure, but does anyone actually consider it their favorite ever?

Or does anyone think this is the best “Twist” Phish ever performed?

#12

I suppose I should add strictly in a musical sense.

Being there would obviously add a certain element to your opinion.

#13

when you factor in the jams, post-hiatus Twists take the cake, imo.

6.20.04 is best ever imo. 4.16.04 has an amazing jam. and of course there’s 7.30.03

I put all three of those in the same ballpark as 4.2.98.

I think the Cypress one is pretty sweet too, but I can’t remember much about that one.

#14

Isn’t anyone gonna get on their high horse and bash me for fluffing something post-hiatus??

oh yeah, there’s the 11.29.03 version, and super bluesy intro–>Twist–>Boogie On from Miami!!

#15

Only 30 minutes elapsed, you have to give us more time.

#16

Post Hiatus, lol.
The Twist from Vegas 'o4 is actually pretty good.

#17

I don’t think I have a favorite version.
It’s odd that it was only played twice during '98 (I saw both ;))
Some I enjoy are

07-05-1997
08-06-1997
11-14-1997
10-07-2000
07-30-2003
04-16-2004
06-20-2004

There are very, very few songs that Phish have performed where I can name my absolute favorite version off the top of my head every time (same version, of course).

This isn’t one of them, but I enjoy all the ones mentioned, plus 9/10/99.

I never noticed that it was only played twice in '98. That is odd.

#19

Odd indeed.

Indubitably.

Some may say the best Twist ever is from the album Farmhouse.

#20

Those people live in dumpsters.

#21

I forgot to mention that I heard the 9/26/99 version for the first time the other day and thought it contained a very good jam. Not spacey or ambient, just a straight-up raging jam.

#22

:smiley:

#23

::points to Twist thread in Individual Song Discussion::

#24

As a whole, 4/2 is my second favorite out of the 4 shows on the Island Tour.

#25

Why was this thread resurrected again??
