most overrated show

[McGrupp]

Your mom's show is overrated.

True, but your Mom's show was totally worth a nickle.

lol, guess I set myself up for that one.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that set I of 10/31/98 is underrated.

Nobody ever talks about the Sally>Chalkdust or the Mike's but I think they're pretty hot. 

The Gin from 6/28/00 is off the hook!

I'm with Hikki on this one. I think 10/31/98 is a super hot show. The Sally is great (and complete with Mike Balms)

10-31-98 is my favorite Halloween show (I know, not the most popular opinion around here)

I don't play favorites, but there is no chance in hell that this show is over-rated. It was epic. The VU set has been on heavy rotation for me ever since... more-so than any other Halloween set (with TH a somewhat distant second).

For my money, 12/30/97 is a bit over-rated. I am solidly in the 12/29 was better camp, but I wouldn't put it on a "most over-rated show" list. I think it is only slightly over-rated. It was a great show no matter how you cut it.

I think that any show from 2000 that people call "great" or "epic" is over-rated, with one exception. Fukuoka is a "great" show.

I thought the 2000 part of Big Cypress was pretty "epic"  :wink:

I only look at the date listed on my XLII's... those say "12/31/99"

also, in no way is BC ever over-rated, nor is it simply "epic." It is so much more. Sorry you were still in diapers for that one, bud.

That's my feeling.  I really only ever listen to shows from Japan when I touch 2000.

WTU is the oldest looking 12 year-old I've ever seen

pie-guy has a tendency to say all the right things.

6/14/00 is one of the coolest, most unusual shows phish ever played. if you don't like it, that makes me sad for you. here i am crying a tear for what you are missing:  :cry:

10/31/98 is also my favorite halloween show.

the only problems with 12/29/97 and 12/30/97--actually with the whole new year's run--is that those shows aren't as good as most of fall '97. they're still hot shows, though.

[PIE-GUY]

I didn't see a single show between Clifford Ball and 12/29/97. Needless to say, I was seeing a different band. That may have something to do with my bias. The 12/30/97 was a bit more sprawling and a bit more like the band I had seen before.

[Hicks]

Both shows are pretty redick IMO, but the AC/DC Bag and the encore give 12-30 the edge in my helping friendly book.

All of you defending 2000-06-14 proves my point.

Meh.

[JPhishman]

You guys are IIINNNSSSSAAAAANNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!  :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

One of the best Twists ever -> One of the most gnarly, psychedelic, groovalicious jams ever?!?!  2001?

This show is downright nasty!

edit: I also can't believe 12-30-97 is in this thread!!!!

No joke. That show blows my mind every time.

I don't think it proves your point. But perhaps proves that we like to do drugs and have gone deep into that show :smoke:

Ser though, that show is legendary for good reason. uber psych!

All of you defending 2000-06-14 proves my point.

Meh.

14June00 is a great show.  Sick jam out of Gumbo.  The jam out of Twist > Fuk-u-oka Jam 1 is dope!  Phish playing in Japan alone is dope.

Maybe it is overrated by people who were there, compared to people who weren't there.  The experience of seeing Phish in Japan as a whole is probably one of most seriously underrated events ever.  I personally liked the show on the 13th better (Nagoya), but both shows are sick in their own way.  Of course people that were in Japan (like myself) are going to hype the shit out of it and if you were not there, it might be hard for you to get behind all of that hype 100%. The bottom line is that almost every Japan 2000 shows has some sickness, except maybe Hibya which was a little lackluster playing wise, but was outdoors in downtown Tokyo surrounded by skyscrapers, so it was about more than the music.  And they had fried octopus balls.....to me, the most overrated show is Dayton '97....it's got some cool stuff (Dayton Jam), but there are way better shows on that tour...
