Favorite Slave in '95. Today!
This is still one of the most fun times I’ve had musically in ages, what a brilliant idea from the band to play on the 1st, zero pressure on them after NYE (which wa kick-ass) and I truly think the Setlist and Music reflect how carefree and happy they were…Seriusly, take a look at that Setlist for a moment, it’s freakin seck!!

POSTER!!! NOOOO!! POOR POSTER!!!
08/14/1998
Loring Commerce Center at Loring Air Force Base, Limestone, ME
Set 1: Funky Bitch, Ginseng Sullivan, Back at the Chicken Shack, Jam, She Caught the Katy and Left Me a Mule to Ride, Dog Log, Down Home Dirty Blues, I Gave My Love a Cherry, Please Send Me Someone to Love
The sbd recordings start after Funky Bitch has been run through but where it picks up contains some of the best jamming from 1998 and beyond. This ~22 minute jam is top notch as is the ~13 minute straight up jam a couple songs later. The band is very playful in this soundcheck and, as expected, it get quite goofy towards the end.
Easily one of the best soundchecks they’ve done along with big cypress and the limbo soundcheck from Italy the summer of 1997.
10 years ago, “we’re done.”
Started to listen for the first time since it happened. First set of day one is a rough one to get through, especially as Trey starts addressing the audience at the end. He sounds so bad.
I’ve put on Coventry on purpose before maaaaaaaaaan
FLUFFHEAD!
OH yes. I’ll never forget that. I was at home, Saturday morning 3/7/09, downloaded the show without knowing ANY of the setlist … grabbed my first coffee and hit play, and just got so damn giddy. I’m STILL psyched they opened that show w/Fluffhead.
Five years ago today I swore I’d never miss a sssssssssssssshow at Dick’s!

my math might be off…but this is the 5th time I’m seeing them at Dicks I think…

20 years later…

That CO show is still one of my all time favs!
Keeping with the 97 theme…
http://phish.in/1997-12-05
For some reason I thought today was the highly touted show from MI but apparently that was from 12-06. I know Will was one of the big pushers for that being their best 2 set show ever. I decided to give 12-05 a listen anyways since I’ve probably only heard it a couple times…and truly, as I was looking over the setlist they drop right into a Ghost to kick it off and they’re all so good from this tour I couldn’t possibly turn it off. This show took place in Cleveland so I’m guessing it was Will’s first show? What I’m really trying to say is, cheers Will!
