Our home internet did not handle the stream very well that night.  Between the buffering and the robot sharts, I gave up after about 20 minutes.  Excited to hear this release!

I was at the world in 97 and alpine in 98, so the first live stream I remember was vegas in 2000.  It didnt work great, but good enough for me to hear Trey in Mockingbird.  After which I immediately bought shoreline tix and a flight to san francisco.

8/1/98 was my third show (first was 8/8/97 oddly enough) and the night I ate the most acid of my life.  I have been very eagerly awaiting this release, I thought it would never happen.  I'm almost frightened to listen to it, that night was really intense.

that night I also bought my favorite t-shirt of all time:  the Chunga's Revenge cover on the front and the Packard Goose quote on the back.  I very well may have paid a hundred bucks for it, there is no way of knowing for sure.

This show has definitely withstood the test of time.  Great release. We were toward the back of the pav and it was popping off.  We climbed up onto the bases of the roof supports and had a killer view for Been Caught Stealing.  Only time I can think of where crowd was more raucous during a cover drop was MMP Sabotage or the RATM thing (which I was not at).  High fives all around after this night for sure.

have had a great copy of this show forever, but this is still a great upgrade. fantastic all around, and i really love both sets.

and maybe it's just my setup, but i felt that the drums were a bit thin in this mix - usually much meatier in '98.

Yeah I wish this was a multitrack, it sounds fine but it's nowhere near the quality of the Grand Rapids 98 from last year.

Everything after '94 is multitrack but they choose to not use them, which is confounding cause every multitrack release sounds much better. Is it because they plan to eventually return to the gold mine and release tour box sets like the GD, with these billed as superior quality to what was previously released. They really suck at marketing their archives. The GD now have it down to a science. Not hard to see. Put together a great funky looking box, less a fucking glider, have someone write a 20 page booklet with great photos, and hire the absolute best to mix it (and for the love of God, please dump Kervorkian - he sucks).

I guess they don't wanna pay Atschiller to mix them if the two track sounds good enough.

Yes, Dr. Deaf has got to go. Why do people keep hiring him?!? It's not just Phish, I see his name on other groups as well.

He's trash, but I guess it plays into the lackadaisical release of random archive shows. Can't complain about 2 releases in 3 months, though!

FTR, I'm pretty sure Phish had him master 200+ shows like 15 years ago and they are just releasing them whenever they feel like it. They're not going to him every few months with another show to master. In other words, don't expect anything different for a long time.

I should probably mention that we did an HFPod episode on this release. came out last week and was a pretty fun conversation.
There are disagreements.

Kevorkian wasn't involved with the Grand Rapids 98 and Kent State multitrack releases.
