Weekend Nuggets: Texas, Fall ’95
DOWNLOADS OF THE WEEKEND:
Regardless of how sketched out one can feel being on Phish tour in Texas, the band always played great shows in The Lone Star State. This weekend we have Phish’s three-night Texas run from Fall ’95, each great for its own reasons. The first night in Fort Worth saw the bust out of “Tube,” the debut of Bowie’s “Life on Mars?”, a nice combo of ‘Theme > Wilson > Antelope,” and a one-two punch of “Split, ‘Fluffhead in the first set.

The second night saw Medeski, Martin, and Wood- then not so famous outside of NYC- jam with Phish for an extended and experimental “YEM.” A smooth ’95 “Reba” kicked off the second set while a dark “Stash > Catapult” highlights the first.

Austin Music Hall
The third night (and second in Austin) was back to pure Phish, and what night it was. After the adrenalizing opening combo of “Buried Alive > Poor Heart,” and a dramatic third song “Slave,” one knew this would be a special night. The rare “Demand” and a tight “Foam” held down the middle of the first set, while a 20-minute “Bowie” put the frame to rest. The second set was filled with classic Phish songs including standout versions of “Tweezer” and “Harry Hood.”

PHISH ALLEGEDLY KILLING IT IN REHEARSALS
Trusted sources close to the Phish organization have reported that the band has been playing amazingly well in preparation for Hampton. People who have talked with the band have said they the band is incredibly psyched and wish Hampton was tomorrow. Others who have heard the rehearsals have been floored by what’s been going down. Take it for what its worth, but this is not made up. Two more weeks!
i am so stoked! my girlfriend wanted to go out for a few martinis then said she had bad news… then she asked me what i wanted to hear…good or bad news first???? i said bad….i was thinking our Phish tickets for Hampton fell through…then…. she whipped out 2 friday and 2 saturday tickets for hampton!!!!! Holy shit!!!! this is one cool ass chick! the PHUNK awaits the don and mary!!!!!
I can;t remember yesterday but i do recalll reding either here or fantasy tour that phish was rehearsing in in nyc in the upper 20’s and 8th or 9th. they were supposedly practicing reba, wolfmans etc. unfortunately after the reirement i moved out of nyc to miami otherwise i would b e outside the studio im ahw. but its all good in less than two weeks i will be in va and after that i roll back home to the stomping grounds to experience the life i love.
Hey I have been following these boards for quite a while and have yet to post. But, I just wanted to send a big shout out to all of you for believing and having the faith that this next incantation will be something memorable. The beauty of 3.0 is that there really is an opportunity to set the record straight, not only for the band, but for the fan base that kind of lost it’s way. Mr. Miner you provide the community with a rich resource and it’s people like you that brought the community back together again. See ya all in Hapmton, and be safe in your travels. Oh, and take care of your shoes.
Nice…..me and Harpua…….it happens all the time. Where’s Jimmy been? Maybe we’ll find out in a few days……
@Jezmund
When they were heard praicing a few months ago it was allegedly SIR Studios on West 25th Street.
“opportunity to set the record straight” is far from the right way to say that. there are shows from 2.0 that hold up to, if not blow the socks off of, the earlier stuff. IT WAS DIFFERENT MUSIC!!! which is what will be heard so soon. different from 93, 97, 03, and 04. It will be new. and different. Don’t ever imply that they needed to redeem themselves. at least when i’m around.
time to get down to business, bust out your ole boogie down tour shoes and get ready to set the gearshift…..i cam smell the dank nugs, veggie b’s, and lot odor. 3 for 10 shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
minor, anyway to put up a hampton 101 page. First time to the mothership and would love to knows in & outs of the venue/strip. Looks like cold brews will be available and consumed for the first time inside. Ill be at Days ‘Between” Inn 1/4 mile away.
Dear Hairy Pood,
I was simply implying the opportunity the band has to create, and on the flip side the opportunity the fans have to really make this experience a different one.
I know where Phish is rehearsing in NYC.. I was down there this weekend but unfortuantly got sidetracked by going to the brooklyn brewery and not swinging by.. Dam*%@!
My buddy heard them playing a SICk Antelope a few weeks ago !!!!!
Jezmund..im from miami as well. hoping that phish comes
through florida eventually, im praying of a nye run again…
oh and be careful in Hampton, or in any lot for that matter
there are always cops and narcs around. I saw a few people
get busted in 04.
6-up
speaking of fall 95 and florida..
fall 95 run is kick ass, some of my favorite tunes and just their energy
was full force. Minor you need to up 11-14-95 STASH>manteca>STASH
dog faced boy..
…for those who havent heard it , it is a livephish release and its sick
11 days till melt
not sure if people are still looking at this thread but watch out in the hampton lot. I saw a guy in ’04 get busted for dui on a motor skooter & then my friend, and whoever else was nearby, got nabbed for buying some brownies. Other than those 2 instances, I just remember the cops being sketchy.
Remember Hampton Fall 95′, after the show we came outside and everyone was just silently walking around because our minds had just been blown apart and the fountain outside the venue was off and covered with a mysterious layer of ice… or was it foam? It was still and appeared solid. Speculative whispers of what was in the fountain abounded. Finally, some kid who was convinced “it’s ice” ran up to the fountain and stepped on it and…. splash! It’s foam!
Stuff like that is what made my experience so special… Fall tour 95′ was the ish.
