I can’t pick one show!
Interesting choices. I know I have that '92 show and have listened to it at least once, but you make me want to bust it out again.
Alpine 98? Definitely a nicely played show. No complaints about this show from me, actually, but it barely cracks in my top 10 from 1998.
9.29.00 is the most surprising of all your choice…what’s with this pick? I don’t think I’ve ever even bothered to listen to the Kid Rock portion of the show…

I like your 11-4-90 and 6-19-04 choices.
i like all the love for the 1998-12-29 show. i feel its one of the 10 best 2 set shows theyve ever played. show me a better opening segue than rock and roll, funky bitch > pyite. solid first set split, great free second set opener, spacy 2001 > boogie on, fantastic yem with page really hitting stride and a divided sky encore.
as for neck thinking 1998-08-12 is sloppy…i wouldnt say its played to perfection but i would classify most of this show as being loose rather than sloppy. the yem is one of my all time favs and the ramble on melts right into slave perfectly. great mikes > simple too.
da funk! ;D

What am I missing with the first night of Vegas 00?? I’ve only listened to the nugs.net source of that once, but I don’t remember being too wowed about it. I remember the first set being rather standard, and although Fluff, Dinner and a Movie, Moma Dance, and 2001 were played early in the second set, I can’t imagine the Kid Rock portion bringing the show to that high a level. But, like I said, I’ve never heard it.
Some explanation from a and thelot on why they love this show would be much appreciated!
vegas 'oo is a top 5 attended show for me.
the ENERGY in that place was NUTS!
aside from the HUGE kickdowns of Spock’s & Dinner and a Movie, the band was ON all night.
people knock the Kid Rock appearance all the time.
personally, i dont like his music, but for phish to bring him out was dope.
it was cool that they finally said FUCK IT to bringing out other “jamband” guests.
Bringing out Bobby later in the week was cool, but the performance sucked.
Phil in '99 sucked.these are jamband GODS.
hell, even BB King sucked out the energy of NJ in 'o3.
phish were showing that they didnt have to be pigeon-holed anymore…that they can be universally accepted.
people say Jay-Z was a bad guest, too. i think he falls in the same category.
i never say this, but “you had to be there”.
a
august took the words right out of me mouth! ;D the energy in that place was freakin’ electric!!!
i think we did the same amount of shows that tour (you skipped albany & MN iirc and i skipped chicago & MN)…
after that show ended, i knew it wasnt gonna be topped.
as i was leaving, i told my buddy that that was the best show i saw since 8-1-98.i stated that as a fact.
they tried to keep it up the next night, but fell kinda short (although the set on paper is HOT!)
a
^^thanks guys. Sounds like a great time. I forgot about Spock’s Brain in that show.
I’ll definitely keep my eye out for a source of this show on etree.
