The one problem with this source is that the Scent of a Mule is cut and it happened to be one of the best versions. Here's the complete version from the akg source:

Thanks!
Boo ya!
Maybe I'll seed the AUD (which I feel is better than the SBD) tomorrow...
a
I just shat a brick!!!
last weeks review of mine will be up tomorrow, i just have to grab it off my lappy
great pick birdman!!!
Here is the AKG source...

Listen to the AUD! :wink:
Simple - First of only three times used as a show opener. I actually like it here. Nice segue into >>>
My Friend - Trippy outro vocal section. Goes on for a bit and melds its way into >>>
IDK - Your standard version.
Heart/Stash - Trey having some fun with the composed sections of Stash. He lays down a sick, quick run at ~5:25. Doesn't take long to get evil and chaotic. Very tense version with a release that kinda sneaks up on ya.
Tela - Just a perfect version.
Ice - Page shines during the breakdown. As with most '94 versions, this one gets pretty funky.
Guyute - I love the '94 renditions. I like how everyone is so silent for the tune and then applauds so wildly once they get their faces smashed.
Sky - Another super solid version.
Grace - Nice cap. Plenty of variety during set one...
You get a vacuum solo, some bluegrass, a jammed out tune, a new song, an a capella song and plenty of classics.
Bowie - In such a short amount of time, this one goes all over the yard. It kinda plays out like a Fall '94 Tweezer, in that it really takes you for a ride. It is more cohesive than most of the Tweezers, however. They NAIL the return back to the main jam theme. Great version.
Horse/Silent - Trey has some fun with his fuck ups during Horse. The creature from the black lagoon!
Reba - Tight composed section. This is one of the classic versions. Very relaxed and flowing for the beginning of the jam. 9:50 - 11:50 is what really defines this version. It gets evil in a subtle way...12:30 is where they start to borrow a bit from the 07-06-1994 Reba. Slight DEG ~15:35 in. Classic version.
Scent - Bela goes OFF during the "elegance" verses.
Lifeboy/Homeplace - Bela adds such a great dynamic to these, especially the Lifeboy.
Beaumont - I guess you really need Bela on this one to do it justice. The second and last time played.
Nellie - More bluegrass...
Llama - H33T! Acoustic intro with Bela TEARING IT UP! So precise! I love how they bust right back into a full-out Llama shrager. Great version.
MSO - Only the second time it was used as a standalone encore.
A virtually note-perfect performance.
My second favorite October show behind 10-27-1994.
Super solid pick gets an A+!
a
i'm into listening to studio stuffs lately.. and Rift has found a lot of play time for me lately...
and colorado 88 got played from end to end tonight during trivial pursuit/i love the 80s trivial pursuit/i love the 80s game...
this show has got me pumped after my studio listens, today....
can't wait to throw it in tomorrow, while cleaning :)
i just teased myself with the stash last night.... great balls of fire :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
When I heard Phish was coming to play at my college in fall of 94 I was pretty damned psyched. My favorite band was they going to be playing a stones throw from my house! I was praying that they would shake up our very conservative campus with some face melting jams. The day before they were scheduled to play we had some interesting tour types staking out prime realestate on our "Alumni Lawn" in the center of campus. We offered places for some of them to crash. A couple spent the night in our apartment and rewarded us with some primo opium...things were looking up for thishow. The next day as the lot started to fill up we saw Mike wandering around the campus. One of my buddies approached him and gave him a "Simple" hat, telling him how much he loved the "new" song, asking him to please play it that night. Entering the gym, we realized they were only going to fill half the place. They had set up the stage lengthwise across the basketball court and were only playing to one side. We took our seats in the 2nd row, right in front of fishman. We puffed on that ball of opium HARD before the lights went down.
Simple- Well you can imagine my friends surprise when Mike walks out wearing the Simple hat and then they bust into his request. 1st time they opened with it and still my favorite placement for this song. As they were wraping it up, Mike took off the hat and whipped it into the audience. Pretty standard early version, but it worked well as an opener. I like the vocal outro.
My Friend- Here is the "normal" opener. Well played with some cool vocals thrown in at the end.
IDK- Another song with heavy emphasis on vocals. The band sounds great. Spot on version.
MPH- A little ditty for music city.
Stash- Typically great Fall 94 Stash here. 1st song of the night that takes us outside the box. Lots of tension and a great climax.
Tela- Note perfect version. May have lost a bit of the crowd with this one, but we were enjoying the hell out of it.
Its Ice- Love the breakdown in this one. Page. Page. Page.
Guyute- Only the 5th time played and my 2nd time hearing it. I liked it alot better this time around knowing what to expect.
Divided Sky- This turned alot of people on to Phish that night. Made believers out of them. How could you not love this band.
Grace- Amazing
II
Bowie- Here's the face melting jam I had been waiting for them to drop. Take that all you Greek freaks, I hope you lost your mind. Typically great Bowie.
Horse/Silent- Was hoping for something more uptempo, but you just cant help loving this tune.
Reba- If you haven't heard this version before...too bad for you. One of the most outstanding version they have ever played to these ears. Certainly the most atypical version I ever saw. One of the highlights of the night and the whole of fall 94.
Scent- You know my feelings about this tune. The only thing that makes it bearable is the addition of Bela. Changes the whole dynamic of this tune.
Lifeboy- Love this song. Love this version. Similar to what they did to Slave next year in Nashville with Bela Fleck. Makes the song so much more enjoyable.
Old Home/Beumont/Nellie- More bluegrass for the citizens of the bluegrass mecca.
LLama- Must hear to believe. Yes. This actually happened. I couldnt believe it as the band switched over to electric one at a time. They blew the doors off the Memorial Coliseum with this one. My personal favorite Llama, how could you argue against it.
MSO-Eww! Unique as an encore. There is a reason it doesn't belong in this slot. I must admit it left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Overall, the band seemed very focused on Nailing the songs this night. Not so much focus on jams. Makes sense, phish was still relatively unknown down south and playing to many newbies in the crowds. Really, it would be a perfect introduction to the band, seeing as they displayed their diversity and strengths throughout the evening.
While not a top ten attended for me, it certainly holds its place in my heart.
I need to find my yearbook from 94. They reviewed the show and it is so full of misinformation and jumbled facts that its hilarious. There are some nice photos though.
Found it!

(REBA!)
(LIFEBUOY!)
First off, Birdman, that story about Simple is awesome! I love hearing stuff like that.
Second, I'm with Aug, the audience source is crisp.
Simple: Short and sweet version with no jam section whatsoever.
My Friend: Always welcome. I liked when this was in the regular rotation. Vocal jam-ish ending which segues into:
I Didn't Know: Does its thing.
Poor Heart: Fits well. Nice solo spots.
Stash: Trey plays some sweet stuff during the "maybe so, maybe not" section. Dark jam, thought it was gonna go into BBFCFM for a second there. Solid version that I wish they would've kept going. Seemed like it was starting to go somewhere but they brought it back to finish earlier than necessary.
Tela: Love it.
Ice: Nice and tight. Dynamite middle section. Mike teases Mission Impossible. The break back into Ice is pretty unique. Almost like it was botched and they didn't know quite what to do, so they extended the jam a bit, while going back into Ice at the same time. In any event, good stuff. I like this one.
Guyute: Always strange to hear these early versions where there's no immediate applause. Well-played version.
Divided Sky: Great addition to an already solid set. Well played, as well. Well, well.
Amazing Grace: Couldn't hear it.
Set one is Fall '94 goodness.
Bowie: Not easing into this set. Heat right off the bat. Tight composed section. Jams out in '94 style. Starts out like your basic Bowie jam. They start on a theme for a couple minutes, then gets dark and goes into the two-chord dissonant tension thing, then a spacy, floating jam, then it gradually picks up theme and SLAMS back into the Bowie closing section with a full head of steam. Great Bowie.
Horse>Silent: A little cool down. Trey messes up and then embellishes.
Reba: Composed section is spot on. The jam section is pretty standard for a couple minutes and then they fade out and fade back in with the heavy dissonance and a rhythmic jam. Very different for a Reba jam. Almost like a rock version of Bartok. Dissonance CAN sound beautiful. The jam turns a little friendlier to the ears and grows in intensity as the jam gets brighter. It then fades and they steer back to the Reba jam. Great peak ~15:40. Finishes out strong. My personal favorite version.
Scent of a Mule: I think Bela couldn't hear himself there at first, hence the slides in the first verse (Am I plugged in?) He stays pretty reserved until the middle section, at which point he totally takes over. I thought I heard a couple song teases in there, but maybe not. Anyway, the real goods are when they go back and refrain the chorus. Bela rips it up and the band is clearly having a great time. Also, my favorite version.
Lifeboy: Normally a bathroom break, but I had to stick around to see what Bela was going to add to it.
Old Home Place/Beaumont Rag/Nellie Kane: Mic-less bluegrass. Bela spices up all three of them nicely. Top notch versions. Too bad they're mic-less, although I'm sure it was something else to witness.
Llama: This Llama is the show highlight(not something you hear everyday). Not only does Bela's input take it up a whole 'nother level, but the acoustic-to-electric changeover builds up the drama to such a climax, it's almost like a faster version of Slave. Top notch stuff.
MSO: Strange encore, but it seems to work after the bluegrass-filled set.
An all-around awesome show featuring a second set with THREE top-five versions of tunes (Reba, Scent, Llama). Not too much more to say about this one. A+. Great pick.
Set I:
Simple- interesting opener. Not something that happens often. Also an interesting story by birdman which would explain it. Solid, short, version. Cool to hear it in it's beginning stages.
My Friend- and there is the opener. Love this song as an opener, so I will look past the Simple and still love it. Cool vocal outro, kind of creepy and out there.
I Didn't Know- and now you do know.
Poor- of hte heart variety.
Stash- maybe my favorite song of all of them. Great version. I like the scary/evilish sounding jam. And my answer to "maybe so or maybe not" is always YES!
Tela- nicely done. Page sounds very good.
Ice- tight version. The jam section was tasty. I like the jam back into Ice. Agreed with khaplin that it sounded almost botched, or like they wanted to go further, but decided to get back into Ice.
Guyute- it's the pig. Composed section was good. Nice early version. NOt a big fan of this song, so it was nice to have...>>
Divided Sky- This is what the set needed to finish it off. Played nice and tight. Trey was so on in these old versions of Divided Sky, sustain was great.
Amazing- graced us with it presence, but it was too quiet for me. I am sure it was good. :)
Set II-
Bowie- this is what Bowie should be. What a great opener. Gets going and never stops. I like the darkish jam that evolves. '94 Bowie is the shiznit.
Horse/Silent- nice placement. Funny that Trey does something different at the end of Horse. Almost sounds like he messes it up and then goes with it- and it works.
Reba- and this is what makes this set AWESOME. There is a moment during the jam in which I was fully intending to hear them go off and never return to Reba. It didn't even sound like Reba, but it worked. Lovely. Highlight of the set for me.
Scent- good version cuz of Bela. Smell my mule.
LIfeboy- I love this song. Great version with Bela.
Old Home Kane- nice bluegrass mini-set. Great addition of the banjo.
Llama- this is the next best song from the set for me. Great transition from that acoustic to electric. And they rip it up. One of a kind version.
MSO- encore is kind of 'meh' but it works with the bluegrass.
Great pick. Both sets offer great songs that do unfamiliar things. Bela adds to the 2nd set. I give it an A. Another great fall '94 show!
simple – works great as an opener, surprised it isnt used more, short but sweet
my friend – a welcome addition to any show for me, the "lights the fuse" section here is a face melter
i didnt know – yes, yes
poor <3 – page starts his show take over
stash – shred fest here, the band is tight tonite
tela – jewel
ice – one of my favs with the baddest bass line ever. this one is for all the page doubters, gave me the chilly willies
Guyute - fun to hear some of the subtle differences in these early versions. Great observation by august about the crowd reaction before/after the collective (http://mirthsrandomstuff.googlepages.com/noidentitybyhipppyik8.jpg)
s/k/y = about as tight as a band can get
grace – nice set ender
what else could you want from a set I?
bowie – great version, a tight dark rocker
horse/silent – im sure horse isnt easy on guitar by any means, but the guy who's been playing guitar all might should be able to handle it, at least trey throws some humor into his f'ups, silent continues the tightness of this show
reba – beautiful – this and the 7/16/98 version make me even happier to be in the show club, actively listening to phish again
mule – for the laser pointer a-holes, bela is at home trading riffs with the phish, loved it
lifeboy – the other tune bela contributed to on hoist (besides rikers), makes sense and sounds right with him
home/mountain/Nellie – good stuff....for 5 guys not from Kentucky
llama – (beginning not on the board, nother reason to listen to the aud) fantastic, raging acoustic/electric llama, proving bela is one of the more fitting guests
mso – any song by fish is a friend of mine, works tonite as a closer
wow, this show proves that phish deserved the hype
page is the winner tonight imo, and the guest spot is great
thanks for the pick birdman!
A+
Set I:
Simple- this can be such a rockin' tune if they let it.. and here they do, in the beginning. i'd love to hear this played as the opener at Hampton, IF i get to make it there.... great move into.. >>>
My Friend- nothing really stood out here, except for the vocals... fun, super creey, tune, always makes 'halloween' pop into my head... yet another good move into.. >>>
I Didn't Know- what a great way to sneak that one in there.. i dig a ccapellas just about anywhere... good version.
Poor <3- i could sit through an entire show: boys and bluegrass.... so gooooooood. short and sweet version.
Stash- they continue to hold true on the creepy theme they pulled out in my friend.... typical of this time-period, imo, how together this band can be... good good. trey seems to be having a great time playing around....
Tela- B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.
Ice- i LOVE mike.... do i really need to elaborate on this, here? .....didn't think so. page starts to shine to here.....
Guyute- i listened to the album version last night on the way home from work for the first time in a LONG time...came up on shuffle...
its' really fun to hear early versions of this and how new of a song this was then... audience proved that, good observation, aug....
Divided Sky- what a great way to begin the break down of set I... concentrated phish, just add audience....
Amazing Grace- and the set closes out... nice one, boys....
Set II-
Bowie- great way to bring the rock right back out in set II.... the creepy theme continues....
Horse/Silent- it's a good thing when you can laugh at yourself for f'ing up what you practice.. but do it so gracefully and then proceed to take me into a completely world... such a mammoth, cool down 1-2....
Reba- VINTAGE reba :) so meaty about 9 or so minutes in.... there arent' many versions that bring bigger smiles to my face for a multitude of reasons.... ;)
**fair warning... i love me some phish bluegrass***
Scent- such energy from beginning to end... Bela's sound is magnetic, pulled me right in...
Lifeboy- such a beautiful tune, raw stylie... the banjo makes it so much more bare-boned.. simply beautiful.
Home/Mountian/Nellie- just because you're not from the south, doesn't mean you can't make incredible southern music... i could leave these on repeat all day :)
Llama- great changeover from bluegrass phish back to rockin' phish... Bela takes this to a whole'nother level... way to pick the special guest, guys!!! nice placement.
MSO- aaaaaaand we flux back to the bluegrass for one last tune... classy way to close up a pretty marvelous night....
Birdman- you couldn't have picked a better show... kudos for the bluegrass theme and i am completely jealous you witnessed it...
i was what? 12 at this point in time ;) 12 and half, to be exact....
had a blast... listened 3 times... couldn't find one thing to take away the + i'll give with this A...
A+
set I:
Simple - wonder why this wasn't used as an opener more often...vocal ending leads right into
>My Friend - a guaranteed ass kicker. Trey goes beserk here and I especially liked the tripped-out MIFE section. they perfectly segue their vocals into
>I Didn't Know - it is what it is. wtf @ Ron Jaworski on vaccuum
Poor Heart - nice mix of tunes early on
Stash - time to get serious. jam is nasty from the get go, spooky-like. lots of different themes going on from there with a HUGE finish.
Tela - I love this Gamehendge song. 94 versions crush and this is no exception. everybody nails it. Tela needs to be revived
It's Ice - another Page tune and another tune I love for the first set. they break into a sweet jam in the middle. nice version of It's Ice
Guyute - look at the n00b!! must have been something if you were hearing it for the first time. and this version here packs a punch.. love it or hate it Guyute is a hell of a composition
Divided Sky - nearly flawless like most these days. Sweet combo right there
Amazing Grace - cool way to close out a perfect set I.
Set II:
David Bowie - wow not wasting time with this to open the set. a bit of a hiccup between verses but it's irrelevant due to the energy thats pumping. Bowie jams are among my favorites and this one is evil and beautiful at the same time. killer Bowie
Horse>Silent - not sure what happened at the end of The Horse..good song good placement. I've always been a fan of this
Reba - !! they get through the sections with such ease.. it starts out with a beautiful Reba jam then all of a sudden they lock into some weird thing that evolves into a whole new jam just like that! one of the most unique Reba's I've heard. hard to believe they can top the Bowie two songs later. they find their way back to Reba and it rages hard from there..
Scent - with Bela Fleck. fantastic version with a real sweet jam in there. there's a lot of really good music being played tonight
Lifeboy - questionable placement, but Bela adds a nice touch to it. love the ending of Lifeboy
Old Home Place - little tough to hear
Beaumont Rag - ditto
Nellie Cane - yeah
Llama - starts out acoustic..too bad it's not amplified cause you can vaguely make out some great playing. they eventually wind up back at their instruments and it's on from there. One of the craziest Llamas ever
Encore:
My Sweet One - fits with the feel the show veered into after Bela's appearance.
I loved this show from start to finish. Great song selection throughout and numerous sick jams--each one better than the last. When Bela Fleck came onstage it definitely changed the vibe of the show but not in a detrimental way at all and the stuff they played with him had it's own unique feel so that worked. Great story Birdman, and a killer show! A+
and I had a real nice Fall '94 all queud up for my pick but now I'm not so sure I want to put it up against this...I might need to rethink my strategy

Reba - !! they get through the sections with such ease.. it starts out with a beautiful Reba jam then all of a sudden they lock into some weird thing that evolves into a whole new jam just like that
it's basically a vortex.

They didn't play Sanity. Maybe that's the problem?
that might be it? maybe it wasnt this show then. i dl'ed so many to try to catch up.
Simple -- Wow... this is deffinatley one of the sickest openers I've heard. As khalpin said, I love stories like that... and mike seemed to be on the ball this night
I never really thought about this for an opener, I love how trey just starts it out... its a good seuge from nothing :). Lyrical ending is really on as well, and nice transition into
MFMF -- I always enjoy the opening of this tune and how it switches into the lyrics... This source sounds great right now aug!!! You can really hear everyone pretty well... and they are all On the bAll.
Excellent tension created by trey with the loop/pitch shifter or whatever that was... chaos. Then just some pure ripping... Another beautiful ending with a slight vocal jam... Holy shit. That is top notch
Best version i have ever heard. Period. (waits to be corrected, hopefully ;))
I didn't Know -- Excellent placement, I always love to hear this song. And some roge Warski? This is just plain WILD at this point,, Whoever hit that high note at the end... i would like to know? because it was perfect.
Poor HEart-- Plain H33t... enough said.
Stash --- OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaa. Excellent Composed sections, cannot complain at all. now this is jamming, serious Improvisation. I love how phish really stepped out of the boundaries at this pont in their carrer... That thrashy line that starts to go on is ballz nasty... You can almost headbang to stuff like this. (wait for me to rip out the headbang at alpine :D)
These are the times that i say Phish is the best Band/musical group Ever to Exist. Beautiful peak after that chaos, woaaaaah... now more chaos... mmmm tasty. During these early years, phish could go whatever direction they please and make it back to where they are supposed to be in the perfect form of tension, contrast, and composition.
Tela -- Beautiful
It's Ice -- Still got the heat gong right now, really sweet jam
Guyute -- Wow! I can actually really enjoy this one now that its pre 97, great stuff all around..
Set II
Bowie -- Solid Version, kickin off the second set right... teasing key changes in the jam and around 8 mins or so treys line takes it off... mmm, tasty. Back in to bowie, now at 10 mins this jam is becoming a savage once more... beautiful minor-major switch around in the later part of the 10 min mark... awesomeness. Ripping version all around... great start to this set
Horse/silent -- Excellent placement IMO... Beautiful chill out after a raging bowie
REBA -- Probably one of the best rebas, my favorite as ive told many here before... Lyrics worked out fine... sounding great already: even with these entirely obscure lyrics... composed sections, spot on. Jam: Every note at the beginning here is perfect... absolutely perfect, its very hard to explain beyond that... dynamics and expression are already amazing from all four and pages electric piano or whatever piano that was is sounding beautiful... The stuff going around 7:50 is already picking up momentum and sounding really tight...treys line at 8:11 is so beautiful its unreal... what is also so beautiful is the accompanyment going on... amazing... 8:33 page plays a line on his electric which sounds like a hallucination in the woods or something... like the stories you would read when you were little and the imagination you had of nature and the world...9 mins, could this be any better? hints on what i just said previously about the forest on a beautiful sunny day... dissonance then it gets dark... well maybe trippy... not the scary trippy but the good trippy like when you have a really wierd dream and you knew it was wack but not scary. Mike coming in with that line around 10:07 or so to fit in to treys amazing lines, Mike coming in with that major bass note at 10:49 chills my soul. This is why mike is the fucking best bass player ive ever heard. 1 fucking note and he chills the soul. Now we're twisting and turning back into the reba jam key here... Just like any strange trip...it comes out glorious in the end. 12:00 in trey plays those simple semi distorted notes accompanied by the whole band to just bring out the amazing feel and life-loving groove. 12:27 trey plays those simple sounding major chords that are just fucking glorious. 12:30 trey... in a way this is like the end part of the ROses jam in which it slags at first and its kind of "lagged" in the sense that its trying to get a point across and then just bursts it out...like that drunken ambition. amazing, just god damn amazing. The band winds back into some dissonance and are really proving this to be a legendary jam. 14 mins winding into something ---> 14:49 its time for trey to bring it home this is a phish jam that can draw a tear to my eye... this ending solo is so fucking beatiful... Energy guide awesomeness to add some serious tension... then oh man, trey really peaks it out here... 15:59 that line and on till the end of the jam is just indescribible... the joyous feeling it gives me. This jam is a life changer. Whistles.. i guess a reminder of what song this was for some newbies... but i could really care less for whistles at this point.... they should have ended it on the high note.
Scent -- they should be more excited about it than us... but i was equally excited. Jesus, this is a spot on version... it's not a mumbled mess whatsoever and you can hear the lyrics very clearly and cleanly.
Bela is really helpin the boys with the heat, but what do you expect from the great himself?
Probably the best version ive ever heard.
Lifeboy -- Oh god, thank you for the chillout... and what a perfect song for that. One of my favorite slow phish songs and an excellent version to say the least.
OHP/beaumont/nellie -- Great banjo... what did you expect from fleck? Such a great guest
Llama -- Breakdown style... amazing bela work... he is just so fing good... really got trey fired up for his part though.... he has something to live up to now ;) This turns into a tit ripper and fast ... Taboot taboot some phish crazyness going on around 8 mins and awesome stuff going on around 8:15 with page on the organ... wierdness kinda killed the peak around there though
MSO -- alright... keeping up the fast tempo, ill accept it
This show gets a P: Placement, playfullness, and perfection
No really though... how could anyone who likes phish give this show anything less than a super solid A+
Great pick birdman!!! u da man!!!

Maybe I'll seed the AUD (which I feel is better than the SBD) tomorrow...
a
I have the sbd source. I remember when I was listening to it. I was stuck at a girlfriend's family's house on Christmas. That might have dampened the mood for me.
