POLL CLOSE: Wed, 7/25, 10pm EST
Holmdel is good but Chicago is a pantheon.
I know I'll be in thd minority but PNC is the winner
Damn that was a fun one! :music:
Based on what I choose to listen to more often, I'm going Holmdel.
Can't deny the massive nature of the Halloween '95, but length doesn't always tell the story as we've all discussed many a time.

I'm with Heath on this one, I voted Holmdel.
I know I'm not really playing this game, but which of these has Trey saying "I'm gonna f**k you in the ass" over and over? Yup, thought so.
Also, extra credit for Rosemont since it has a vocal jam I don't ever want to skip. So much harmony going on!

The minorities are becoming the majority! What is this upsidedown world?!?!?
I've yet to make up my mind in this one but I gotta say I am surprised at how this one is playing out. I guess the kidz just don't have the attention span for a 45 min jam anymore.

I won't have what he's having.

Who would wanna live in a world right side up?
I love 07-15-99. The composed sections aren't great, but that's not really what this jam is all about anyway. Trey's Oye Como Va-esque lines ~11:15 in is when it starts getting interesting and then that great little funky jam somehow organically develops into the ragefest to close it out. One of my favorite and most frequently listened to YEMs.
Random side note: this was one of my favorite shows attended not only for the music (love the Ghost and Melt too), but because I got a pav ticket for free (only my second time in a pav, I believe) and a ride from a chick who was subletting our house that summer. More importantly, she let me play with her MASSIVE boobies later that night. I don't really have a point, just wanted to tell the big boobie story. Wait, what are we talking about again? Oh yeah.
Look, PNC's awesome and as I said I had to subjectively choose it over 12-31-95, but stop it. Halloween is like playing with some big boobies while coming off a trip. You get a super tight and energy filled YEM with a bonus 15 min spooky yet still kinda chill Halloween improv jam. And, as Pie Guy said, one of the best vocal jams evar (BTW, I thought you were speaking figuratively above; totally forgot Trey actually talks about ass fucking).
I'll gladly be in the minority on this one if that's how it works out. Halloween for me.
Is that all you did? Just play with them?
I hope you gave her a nice pearl necklace in exchange for the ride and ticket.

No, I used them for speed bags. What do you think I did with them?
Holmdel rages hard, there's no doubt about that. But Halloween, for its part, has some pretty smoking guitar work (e.g. 14:00ish), and it has a big, creative 1995 jam and the aforementioned buggery vocal jam. I vote Chitown.
glad to see Chi town coming out on top, this version is top shelf Phish.
I really like the Ghost and post Kung Jam from 15July99 and the YEM is quite too but fugetaboutit

Don't forget about the best Meatstick EVAR!!!
Summer '99 had some great shows, having done Camden to Starlake, I'd say one out of every two nights was cooking on a 9/10 scale. Unfortunately, I've never seen a Halloween Phish show, and I'm bitter I missed '95. So fuck you 'ween '95, fuck you in the ass.
7-15 is a great version.
it's just not 10-31-95

Ghost and Meatstick are my faves from this show (Thanks to Aug)
10-31-95 YEM is great.....just not as great as the one that went down 6 nights earlier. :-o

I really enjoy that 10/24/95 show.
Halloween survives
