10/17/98= beautiful!!
WOWOWOWOWOW, I sure wish I was there. Anyway, both of these shows sound AMAZING. More unplugged Phish would be sweet, if this is how they pulled off these 2 days. Again, WOW!! DOWNLOAD NOW!
I like these shows.
I was there! It was EPIC to see Phish do some of those songs acoustic. I was able so see Phish 10 times in 98… It was a good Phish year for me! Very satisfied!
Was it a very good year?
Yes, Blue Eyes!
i only have day one i guess. Very nice stuff!
although the setlist from day two looks way better.
Just Google “Phish unplugged” and you’ll find the torrents for both days. For that matter you can find the torrent for just about ANY show.
Yeah, I saw’em 8 times that year, west coast run. Missed these two benefit shows though, DOH!!
