SABOTAGE!!!   :rawk:

and Sweet Jane!

[ytowndan]

Hey ytowndan,
According to what you entered at Phish.net, today is the 20th anniversary of your first Phish show! To help you reminisce about the 20 long years since walking into Star Lake Amphitheatre in 1998, we invite you to visit http://phi.sh/980811 for the setlist and download links.

...

Yeah, I'm still a n00b compared to most here.  None the less, this makes me feel old.

I meant to post about this show yesterday, but then got drunk and forgot to.  :mrgreen:


This show was a complete blast! And that second set is top to bottom awesome! The dirty funk that comes out of that Cities is one of my all-time favorite jams. I want Fish to wear the black suite he wore on this tour again, I feel it is what carried this pure funk energy in it.

PHISH, SUNDAY 08/10/1997
DEER CREEK MUSIC CENTER
Noblesville, IN
Soundcheck: Dog Log, Paul and Silas, Funky Bitch (slow), She Caught the Katy and Left Me a Mule to Ride, Star Trek theme jam (Page on Theremin).
SET 1: Bathtub Gin -> Sparkle > Down with Disease > Dirt, Cars Trucks Buses, Billy Breathes, Split Open and Melt, Bye Bye Foot > Ginseng Sullivan, Harry Hood
SET 2: Cities -> Good Times Bad Times -> Rotation Jam -> Rock A William -> David Bowie
ENCORE: Cavern

The long, involved Rotation Jam to set up Rock A William started when Page went to the theremin for a solo. Soon after, Trey took up the keys and Mike went to play guitar. Page eventually picked up Mike's bass. After they jammed a bit longer, Mike went to join Trey on the keys. Trey then joined Fish on the drums. The two of them played on the same drum set and Mike took a piano solo. Trey eventually kicked Fish off the drum stool, and Fish picked up Trey's guitar. SOAM contained a Third Stone from the Sun tease as well as a Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part Two jam.

Urinating in the fans' ears.

Best review ever. I wish I still had my copy of the Star with that review in it.

I love having my ears both urinated and robo-sharted into!

You haven't lived until you've had a robot shart in your ear and followed along in the live setlist thread while it happens.

Would be real sad if you hadn't become a lifer after your 1st show being Murat, lol. GG.

That's what people say about my wife having seen the Went for her first.  :|

Seems vaguely inappropriate that I have to listen to specific Bathtub Gin's to confirm  that other people's wives are occasionally wrong.
