Halloween Live Phish releases...again!!

Phish Live Shows
#1

I’m planning on doing a marathon of the four Live Phish Halloween shows starting today, so let’s rehash this discussion again.

#2

1998 please and thank you. followed by 96, 95, goethe, 94, other.

#3

I bet you I’m the only one that votes for the one I voted for. But if you can find me a better 1st or 3rd Halloween set be my guest. Icculus, YEM, Harpua…'nuff said.

#4

I tend to listen to the Velvet Underground disc more than the Talking Heads one, but I think overall LP15 is a better show, so I voted for it.

#5

98 ;D

It’s only 3 months from…you know.

#6

^
???

What am I missing here B?

#7

3 months from “1999” Phish, and technically it’s more like 2 months but whatever.

#8

Taking all things into consideration, I voted 1998. I like their 1998 sound more than the other years. I like the 1998 first set best but the 1996 third set best. As far as actual cover sets, it is a tie between 94 and 98.

Still. 1998.

#9

‘98 is the weakest! I do like the VU costume set, but the other two sets don’t match the other years’.

96 is my favorite, but both 94 and 95 are solid efforts

#10

What’s wrong with '98 set I?

You tell me, right now, specifically why it doesn’t match the other years.
The “Sally -> Chalkdust” is ripping! A lengthy “PYITE” opener! A FUCKING FIRST SET “MIKE’S GROOVE.”

#11

yeah I like set 1…I was just watching the DVD recently, actually.

Sally–>Chalkdust is crunchy for sure, but the rest is pretty standard, imo.

The other Halloween first sets are just better, flat out, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.

#12

Fair enough. I was just giving you a hard time.

In terms of non-cover sets, I’d rank them the following:

  1. 10/31/96 III (excellent versions of Maze, Simple and 2001)
  2. 10/31/94 III (Bowie, Slave and Coil!)
  3. 10/31/98 I (see above)
  4. 10/31/95 I (Divided Sky, Antelope, Harpua)
  5. 10/31/94 I (REBA)
  6. 10/31/95 III (Overrated YEM)
  7. 10/31/96 I (Eh. Good, not great)
  8. 10/31/98 III (Can do without)
#13

yeah I didn’t mean to sound angry with the caps lock, I’m just high and being goofy

#14

Hmm…see I’d be more like:

  1. 10/31/95 III (Best YEM ever)
  2. 10/31/98 III
  3. 10/31/95 I

and then the rest of them in whatever order.

#15

I believe our tastes are polar opposites because I don’t quite dally in the mind-altering substances like I used to.

#16

Me neither man, but they may have left a more lasting impact on me for some reason.

I paid $60 for Metal Machine Music…so that gives you an idea of where my listening tastes come from.

#17

I think you’re right. While we both love Phish, our overall tastes in music dictates what type of Phish we like best.

#18

It doesn’t mean I don’t love you Neil.

You wanna go to the Meat board together?

#19

Ah. Er. Um.

#20

Good. Now that Neil’s outta here, can we all agree that '95 was the best Halloween show?
