1993-08-13 Indianapolis, IN

Odd to have Lengthwise open the show, but then its into Llama. This Llama is surprisingly laid back compared to most! I thought my face was gonna be melted, and while there is the usual amount of string ripping going on, I can definitely say I've heard hotter Llamas.

Makisupa Policeman - Ooh ooh I actually really like this!!! I'm not a MP fan and usually wait for it to end but this has some great grooves going on. I'd love a giant jam off of this version. 

Actually it does kinda start to go ultra ambient, but then Page signals Foam and we get one of the most awesome segues I've ever heard into, well, Foam! Trey counts us off and we are off to the races!  

THIS WAS AWESOME!

Stash - lengthy but felt "regular". Very rarely am I extra impressed by Stash - unless they magically do an extended jam, most sound very similar in my experience. Now, they are mostly great but one version of Stash usually blends into the next for me, ya dig?

Ginseng is Ginseng

FLUFFHEAD!
I don't know what is going on, but this version just has... IT. This one has that magical X Factor that you can't describe. You just hear it and go "wow...that was REALLY freaking good!". They guys are TIGHT and each composed section is performed flawlessly. Really amazing how terrific this band could be....  

Horn>David Bowie

Ooh this is super cool - just like that Maki>Foam, we get another jam/segue from Horn into Bowie. This is the kind of thing in 98 or 99 they would've latched onto and rode for 20 minutes, but instead its just a cool little link here. Great stuff.  

Set 2 opened perfectly with that Buried Alive>Rift though!!! They are really nailing those segues and song choices tonight, eh?! 

Bathtub Gin

WOW!!!!

Only 8 minutes in and they've already left planet earth far behind in the rear view mirror! Vocal scatting and wacky jamming into a full blown Weekapaug jam!
The Weekapaug jam devolves back into Gin, but then everyone starts going nuts like we are at the redneck hillbilly hootenanny from hell!

I'm lacking words to describe all of this. It's just...insanity. Yea, that's the word.

Don't forget Ya Mar!!! IT WAS SMASHING!

Thought they were gonna go into Glide for a hot second there...  

 

Mike's Song

daaaammmmnnnnnn

Hell, they get more out in this than the Gin! Around 6 minutes Trey tries to signal Simple but I think everyone else just ignores him, lol

P.S., if anyone ever wanted to hear Phish play Nugent's "Stranglehold", grab this  

Lifeboy was beautiful and Oh Kee Pa was fun.

Suzy is ripping up the joint!!! Check out Page tickling them ivories! 

 

Highway to Hell is fantastic!!!!

Yea, ok, this show was bonkers. This is mandatory Phish listening (mainly set 2).

What the heck got into them this night!
