Mike rules! Another super and dynamic '94, this one isn't blemish free, but also has so much to offer that to pass over it for a couple of rough spots seems unfair. Mike is so solid and present throughout, while cohort Fish fills the tail gunner slot with martial ferocity. The twisted gyrations of Bundle of Joy resolve into a spellbinding whallop of an Arrival.
Classic version featuring an incredible groove. Mike and Fish lay the foundation as Page becomes more prominent and then Trey just slays. After Trey develops and works through a fantastic theme, full-band play becomes more direct and straight-forward, with a "Paradise City" - or, circa 2014, that "REO Speedwagon" - sound, before the band builds to a powerful, fist-pumping peak.
Patient, provocative, and playful jamming emerges near the 6:00 mark, a vestige from the intro, which features manic teasing. Truly cool improv follows, notable for hushed, eerie, thematic "non"-play , which, like a powerfully "weak" pulse, all but flat-lines - in the best possible way. Trey literally cycles through ideas, the band full of life and support, as the version builds and builds, before, while hinting at "DEG," comes to a classic, crashing, close.
Super fun Set 2 opener that features a brief "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" rendition before the song starts. Excellent, Santana-like play from Trey, including a lengthy sustained note from him while his bandmates hammer out the song. > into "Poor Heart".
"HYHU" and "2001" jams. "Donna Lee" and "Who Knows" teases. Incredible version for this period.
Versions phish.net's jam charts single out as noteworthy.
Llama and Bowie included teases of the Munsters theme song and there was a brief Free Ride tease at the start of the show. Carolina was sung for Mary Buckner. There was a Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy tease prior to Landlady. Tweezer included HYHU, Donna Lee, 2001, and Who Knows teases. Chalk Dust contained Lawn Boy teases from Trey and Page and was unfinished. The Old Home Place and Nellie Kane were performed acoustic and, along with Memories, without microphones.
