Summer 1998

Phish Live Shows
#3

08/08 and Lemonwheel.

Doesn’t get much better than that.

#4

I can’t wait to get to 8/8! the setlist looks killer.

#5

7.20 and 7.21 are two back to back shows that are tought to beat!

true dat.

The “Gin” from 7.20 is one of my favorites, and the “Ghost->She Caught the Katy” from 7.21 is one of my favorite Phish segues ever.

I’m glad this thread was bumped. The summer 1998 is much-maligned by too many people IMHO.

If I had to rank my favorite tours, summer 1998 would be in my top 5.

#8

This was one of the first tours i listened to, thanks to nugs.net

they are good shows

#9

drools :stuck_out_tongue:

#10

YES! The 7/21 show was certainly a high-point. This show was, like the climate, very hot. Definitly one of my favorite Arizona shows (I saw em all from Dec 96 on).

#11

The entire summer 98 tour was EPIC!

#12

I like this show too, along with 8/12. Great Sabotage encore and I like the second set. Tela, Piper, Sexual Healing, Hood!

#13

If you like lots of covers, some interesting setlists, a handful of great segues, and precious little experimental jamming or extended song versions, then summer 98 is for you. My only real complaint is that last bit: there was just not enough ‘stellar’ versions of songs and I found whole shows or chunks of most shows pretty immemorable. You can read the thread Will linked earlier if you want my opinions on the shows. I rate the entire tour at about a 7 or 8 out of 10. Naturally I’d need to actually hear more entire tours to justify that opinion, but all the shows I’ve heard from other tours seem to stay with me whereas most of summer 98 doesn’t.

#14

I just discovered I have the soundboard for 8/8/98.

I’m gonna be rocking out today!

#15

it even has “if you need a fool” and “shafty” from the soundcheck.

i’m in phish heaven!

sorry for the double post

#16

^no prob. Summer 98 is pretty good for me, that 7/24 show especially. It has a nice spacy funk sound to it, but not as funky as fall 97…

#17

7/24 is class stuff

Scent>Ha Ha Ha>scent

#18

8/8/98 owns face, so does lemonwheel. especially the first day

#19

I’ve never heard Lemonwheel…is there a SBD or FM source?

#20

IMO, the FOB Schoeps source owns the SBD this time around.

#22

The DSBD source for 8/8 is heaven for the ears.
