Mr. Miner's Phish Thoughts

DOWNLOAD OF THE WEEKEND:

11.4.1998 McNichols Arena, Denver, CO < Megaupload

As we prepare for the next run of Colorado Phish, here is a show from Denver that followed up the infamous McNichols stand of ’97. A dark-horse offering amidst the meat of Fall ’98, check “Piper > 2001” in the second set for the standout segment of the show. The first set’s “Bathtub Gin” and “Yamar” are solid versions while “Frankie Says” developed into an ambient jam a la Fall ’98 on the way to a set-punctuating “David Bowie.” Coming directly after Utah’s “Dark Side” show and Halloween in Vegas, it’s no surprise this night has lived in the shadows for so long.

I: Buried Alive > Character Zero, Guyute, Bathtub Gin, Ya Mar, Birds of a Feather, Brian and Robert, Frankie Says > David Bowie

II: Runaway Jim, The Moma Dance > Piper > Also Sprach Zarathustra > Chalk Dust Torture, Loving Cup

E: The Squirming Coil

Type II Trivia Results:

In trying to make this round easier, I think I accidentally made it harder. But this week’s champion, “Ginseng” Jeff D is always up for a challenge. After placing second last week, Jeff takes home this week’s trophy by scoring 15 points – 6 more than the closest contender. This week I got nearly thirty entries – 3 times as many as last week – so thank you to everyone for playing! This game could grow into a nice little weekly tradition here on Phish Thoughts. We shall see. For now, here are the answers and the standings.

This laid-back, swanky “YEM” came as the encore in Tokyo on the first night of Japan Tour 2000.
