Weekend Nuggets
DOWNLOAD OF THE WEEKEND:
7.13.94 Big Birch Pavilion, Patterson, NY MATRIX < LINK
A well known and wild show, this one has a little bit of everything. A solid first set of songs opened the floodgates for a classic set two segue-fest. Playing Cavern while singing Wilson, this opening segment is as famous as it is disorienting. Giving way to a daring mid set Tweezer, mixed with multiple songs, this one keeps hitting with punches you never saw coming. With a grand Slave to cap all the madness, this one is vintage ’94. This matrix recording doesn’t hurt either. Enjoy the weekend everyone!

VIDEO OF THE WEEKEND:
Jay- Z and Phish: 6.18.04 (The looks on the band’s faces are classic!)
Page’s shit eating grins are the best on this video
One of the very first shows I ever attended and certainly one of the most memorable. I recall just strolling right up to about 15 rows back and wondering from time to time what in the hell was happening. Ah to be young and having your mind blown by the Phish.
Some Ideas:
Song of the Day:Tweezer aka:Tweezer So Cold
debut:3-28-90
(then some notes on it)
grew out of a soundcheck jam
the song WAS finalized(but not played) on 3-3-90 at the WetLands in NYC
Trey came up with the guitar part instantly,upon hearin’Mikes invented bass line!
then a fav.version of yours(or muliple)

Just went to Phishows and downloaded it. Wow. Thanks for the heads up!
Who’s the guy playing the shaker by fish during the Jay-Z sit-in?
Looks like Cyro Baptista from Trey’s big band….
yeah definitely. the instrumentation behind big pimpin, is the shit
hey mr. miner talking of cyro, it would be great if you could at some point post som 10 piece TAB circa summer 01 for all to listen to. those shows to this day are some of the most intense workouts i have ever recived, they really kept me running in circles all night!!!!!!
I have now just decided that you have created the greatest Phish website ever. And that is saying a lot. I’ve been an avid fan since 1995….over 50 shows. Please keep up the excellent work….the writing; and oh my God the downloads!@!!!!##!$$%!@^ I am sooooo appreciative of you!

I remember discovering this show back in highschool, around 1996… I have yet to hear another version of “Slave” that I love this much. The “FEFY” is epic as well. Amazing, fun show all around.
I’m pretty sure this recording it mislabeled. It sounds just like the FOB B+K 4011 recording. Great sounding, none the less, but it’s great AUD, not a matrix.
Just wondering if there is a better recording of this show floating around…?
don’t get me wrong, i am very VERY grateful for this recording, but it would be nice to have a bit of a tastier recording no?
The Big Birtch Link is not working tonight, 11-19-2008. I have been getting a bunch of shows from your links recently and thought to myself about two-three weeks ago how I would love a digital coy of BB, and there you put it out there. If is is not working can you get it going again, or maybe it’s just my internet this evening….
THANKS !!
