^^^ 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.

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.
I’m about halfway thru 12/28/2019 and it’s pretty grand … really strong versions of some of these tunes, particularly DWD which isn’t traditionally a favorite of mine … Ghost, Gumbo, Rift and Weigh were all outstanding. I think Trey worked on Weigh, it sounds incredibly sharp.
And then I’m managing to enjoy the newer stuff, even though it’s not really suited to my taste. I guess I’m just glad they’re still doing their thing.
SET 1: Evening Song[1], No Men In No Man’s Land, Down with Disease, 20-20 Vision[2], Ghost, Gumbo > Rift, Weigh > Dog Faced Boy, Twenty Years Later > Tube > Say It To Me S.A.N.T.O.S.
SET 2: Everything’s Right > Beneath a Sea of Stars Part 1 > Set Your Soul Free -> Gotta Jibboo > Free > Piper, Drowned > Ass Handed > Chalk Dust Torture Reprise[3] > Character Zero[4]
ENCORE: A Life Beyond The Dream, Rocky Top
I’m listening to my first-ever (good) live Phish recording, taking a break between sets two and three. I started listening to Phish when I still was a cave dweller back in the previous century and you had to use both cassette tape copying technology and the skill of mailing packages, and money for both, in order to hear live Phish music. Unless you knew people in the scene, which I did not.
So I’m see my sixth show with my wife (then gf), Matthew’s Arena in Boston, and I’m pretty sure all I had was like the first three Phish CDs and a couple bits of live things, not even whole shows or anything. WBCN broadcasts it the next day to my total delight and I manage to tape almost all of it. I filled two 90 minute tapes with everything up til right before Diamond Girl … something went wrong with tape three where it didn’t record, but I really didn’t ever mind that somehow. I was just so stoked to have crystal clear live Phish, and from a show I was at & just saw.
I beat the shit out of those tapes and copied them for folks … I hadn’t listened to this show in years, because I thought my digital version wasn’t like the old tapes and just fretted at it from inside my brain all this time. But I tried it out and cranked up the bass, and hell yes it’s like the old tapes! [I don’t know if I used to have a different source maybe, and then upgraded and forgot?] It brought me right back to driving my Dad’s Ford Bronco, where I’d crank this show often, pushing the bass knob all the way the f up for maximum Mike. And I know this show like crazy-so-well, more than other shows.
I guess it’s actually the live Phish I know best, it feels like an old shoe in ways that no other shows do or ever will for me, since this was IT, at the beginning, for what was even available.
I started picking up some bootleg CDs back then but I don’t remember exactly when I grabbed those. The Sloth (May 92 first set MI show I think), another couple that had hokey fake album titles that I can’t remember exactly, but those discs never really stuck for me the way this double cassette I made of the BCN broadcast.
Some favorite versions of songs on here for sure for me - Harpua, Forbin’s, maybe Maze, definitely Wilson. This Wilson is just so cool man, vocals are great. Mike’s Song.

[3] Without microphones.Mike dropped a few vocal references to Wilson in Llama. Divided Sky contained Call to the Post teases. Guelah Papyrus included an Oom Pa Pa signal. The Horse featured Trey on acoustic guitar and began with a Bowie tease. Trey teased the Speed Racer theme and Frankenstein in YEM. The vocal jam in YEM was based on Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. Memories was performed without microphones. This show is available as an archival release on LivePhish.com.
That looks like a great one. I should just get livephish+ … I’m sure I wouldn’t regret it, it’s not even that expensive at $10/mo.
I’ve been spinning shows like cotton candy, straight into the head.
12/31/92 Boston
7/16/94 VT
5/31/09 Fenway
10/31/09 (just the Exile set)
12/31/91 just listened to set one, turns out
12/29/90 Providence
7/29/03 (Utah?)
2/26/03 Worcester
2/21/2020 Mexico
6/17/10 Hartford (on now)
I’ve got like eight other shows I really wanna listen to also, and so if I don’t burn out on this band again soon I’ll be spinning:
12/31/91 sets 2 & 3
3/14/92 Roseland Ballroom NYC
12/1/95
8/17/96
10/31/98
2/28/03

3/12/89 (which I think is the other half of the ‘3/12/88’ tape and not really 88 after all)
12/1 & 12/2 could go down as best 1-2 coombo ever.
It is not a show, just audio books
