I’m finally making my way thru the last Chicago '17 show … I don’t know if it’s these boomy AUDs or what, but it’s taking me forever.
Pretty fun shows though, strong Stash right there. Just doubled back though, to relisten to Tube cuz I wasn’t listening.
Long Live Phish. 
Are boomy AUDs something you dislike? What pulls are you listening to?
I pulled this from the google spreadsheet. I guess I wouldn’t mind the boomy auds but it’s distorting on the speakers I happen to be using.
Tempted to spin 3/22/93, was just about to see if I even have that show. I’d better.
I freaking didn’t have it, lol. I swore I had it. It was probably in my old tape collection. I’ll never know. Anyway, I downloaded it. … Still haven’t listened.
I am trying to go thru 2017. I’ve just started up 7/18/17, great looking setlist. This recording is waaaay better than what I was listening to for the Chicago shows.
ERVIN J. NUTTER CENTER, WRIGHT STATE UNIVERSITY
Dayton, OH
SET 1: Tuesday[1], Peaches en Regalia > Free, Roggae, Sugar Shack, Maze, Horn, Crazy Sometimes[1] > 46 Days > Runaway Jim
SET 2: Down with Disease[2] > Mountains in the Mist > Waves > Ghost > Wombat > Chalk Dust Torture
ENCORE: The Squirming Coil
[1] Phish debut.
[2] Unfinished.
This show featured the Phish debuts of Tuesday and Crazy Sometimes and was webcast for free via LivePhish. DWD was unfinished. Trey quoted Waves at the end of Ghost and teased Oye Como Va in Wombat.
^ Great show
I can’t get enough of this Carini. There is another thread around here about how Trey has been touching on some ABB-esque riffs, and I think there are parts of this jam that have a touch of ABB.
Late into 20 Years Later, Page start messing around with different synth sounds - I wish they would have kept tugging on that thread.
Speaking of Thread, I get that this is a debut, but the band sounds downright timid through the first several movements, Trey’s guitar tones are vaguely muted (possibly by design), and lead and harmony vox lack conviction. Overall I do like the song (perhaps “don’t dislike” is more accurate), but they still need to tighten it up.
Both great shows. Quality Squirming Coil to close out the Dayton show, then hot damn, that entire setlist was great for that Sunday show in Chicago. I think I was too exhausted (gettin too old for this shit) to really appreciate it at the time, but especially that second set into the encore…oh my.
The only knock I’ll give that Carini was that we had just gotten a great Carini at wrigley the year before, but hey, I like having that kind of complaint.
^^^ The set list of that Dayton show looks awesome. I do love me a good Waves. Speaking of Chicago Waves, how about 2011/8/15 Waves? That’s one of my favorite Waves and shows attended. Maybe my favorite show attended.
^^ Fun fact: I’m not that into Carini. I don’t get excited when it’s played. However some jams from it are definitely sweeeeeet. I’ll have to eat my words and check out that one you mentioned if it’s got an ABB type jam in there.
I just took a reasonable listen to this show. Not full on loud or anything, but loud enough. Doubled back when I knew I’d missed something. I don’t like to listen too passively, and it happens easily since you have to also live life; can’t just listen to Phish all the time, turns out. So I had this one playing at the PC while I worked. Anyway, I don’t know if I’ve ever enjoyed this show more, that was a good listen. Check out Mike’s bass solo before the vocal jam in YEM, for a really smooth and tasty bass solo. Very strong 2.0 show IMO. Helps that the setlist is full of favorites of mine.
Continuing my 2017 listen-through. I’m about 15 minutes into the long No Men In No Man’s Land. Pretty awesome show so far. It’s not the knockout that the '03^ Worcester setlist is, but this is a pretty sweet show. Listening in bluetooth earbuds from my phone.
Popped in disc four in the car, my son’s choice. I don’t think I’ve ever started there with this show before, and certainly haven’t listened in years. Real fun set so far. Up to Swept Away I think … or maybe we’ve moved on but I don’t remember what happened next.
Yeah so I’ve got multiple shows goin on. I have Mike’s new record on the turntable too. Kind of on a Phish bender.
Phish bender continues
Hampton Comes Alive disc 6 in the car, up to Wedge
Just got thru 12/29/17 in the earbuds, really really dug that show
A Live One in the kitchen, left off after the Hood
Prolly moving on to 12/30/17 in the earbuds next, and maybe switching to Plasma in the car - just got that disc(s) on ebay on the cheap, never heard this album before. Started diggin into Trey’s solo albums for real finally, and I’m surprised by how much I like them.

A good friend of mines first show. The site of my first show (one year later).
The Ghost>Free>Birds is no joke.
Also, I believe the first mention of Big Cypress. Is this LP release a tease that Cypress is coming?!?!? Tune in to find out.

New OKP member? Hello!
I’m listening to a lot of Rush, maybe predictably. Right up there w/Phish for me, one of my top five bands ever.
Although right now it’s Cyndi Lauper “Time After Time” on Pandora
edit: whoops thought this was that other thread about what you’re listening to that isn’t Phish. I have disc three of Albany 10/17/18 in the car, and I started listening to Bomb Factory 1994 last night, I think for the very first time. I got thru Llama and started fallin asleep.
Ahhh yes, Llama, the classic snoozer.
I wish Phish radio on sirius had more variety… and played more Phish. It feels like 50% of the time I start my car it is some other band playing.
haha, yeah I don’t know how I made it thru all of ‘Just Once’ by Quincy Jones on the radio this mornin. I was washing dishes too; could have drowned.
Yep, new member here 
I keep going back to Colorado '88. Disc 3 at the moment…
I just listened to like 12/3, 12/7 and 12/8/2019.
The NC shows are great so far setlist wise. Execution is okay, I’m not bowled over tbh.
I had a harder time with 12/3… And you know I can’t contain myself, I just hafta blurt out that I wish they studied up on the hard bits more than they apparently do. Maybe it just takes too much time or maybe they’d rather just half ass it, and that’s just how it has to be.
Well … I mean maybe that’s not fair: “half ass”. Maybe they’re giving it their 90% ass or something but I think the compositions deserve the whole ass.
Last night I spun set one of 2/22/2020 … I think? It was hitting the spot for me, I was in that Manteca jam and headed for the Twist, I think that’s the 2/22 show … but I had to shut it off before I got there. I was in one of those moments standing by the computer not shutting it off yet cuz of Phish still playing, but then finally being like okay I really can’t just stand here all night.
