Five More From Summer ’95
Great Woods 7-1-95
Let’ start the week off with another dip into the primordial psychedelia of Summer ’95—the band’s most experimental tour ever.
***
“Mike’s Song” 6.20 II, Cuyahoga Falls, OH
This menacing version descended upon Blossom, leaving many wide-eyed fans wondering what had just happened.

“David Bowie” 6.15 II, Atlanta, GA
Another one of Summer ’95’s top-shelf “Bowies.”

“Tweezer > Gumbo” 6.28 II, Wantagh, NY
Another multi-faceted and experimental monster, featuring “Dave’s Energy Guide” and a jam on The Breeder’s “Cannonball,” from the first night at Jones Beach.

“Runaway Jim -> Makisupa” 7.2 II, Sugarbush, VT
A hard-edged and grinding jam eventually melts into “Makisupa” on the first night of Sugarbush’s summer-ending precursor to The Clifford Ball.

“Split Open and Melt” 7.1 II, Mansfield, MA
A first set joyride into seething musical realms.

jones beach is beat. only been there once and that was enough.
Jones beach is beat, you got that right, but it is much much better than it used to be, though that’s not saying much.
It’s convenient for me though, probably will be able to have family babysit for at least one night, so i will definitely be there.
Woahh…tour dates everywhere. Bill Graham is a dump. Seen alot phil/furthur shows there, syringes on the floor, tenderloin sketchballz, bathroom basements from hell. Other than that it is a free for all. Sound is ok, easy to get to…
I to think 2-3 night run at Oracle would be awesome. Ive seen a few shows there, solid arena, sound is good down low. Great fuckin lot, with BART backed up to it.
SF>LA>OR>Jackson Hole>Denver???
Those summer tour dates look a bit like I’ll be headed to Bonnaroo for my only summer Phish.
Not sure how I feel about that.
ac>portsmouth>kill devil hills nc outer banks
Greenskybluegrass in Arcata tonight! come on out to Humbrews
you going @ robear? sounds like fun. See you at Spac.
yeah, got a sitter for the kids. heading out with stash.
all the woosta bitches with ‘roo tix are pissseeed
well said!
tho I srsly hope the boys play a Roo show to put all us naysayers to shame, but…
Cheap/safe/convenient & nice enough AC lodging:

$133/night – 1 mile to Bader
Pretty sure I’m not the only BBer with a rez here. Stayed there for AC’10
@sumodie: thanks for the link; interesting article.
^i’m booked there, sumo
I HAVE to go to AC this year. I’ve been playing a good amount of live poker and doing fairly well lately. pretty sure I’d do even better dosed out of my mind 🙂
only time I’ve been to AC, I stayed at Courtyard Marriott and it was nice enough. might be looking for something dirtier this time around
I’m booked at the courtyard marriott for AC.
digging this one tonight

Crazymaking. All I know is last nite I was very up front with the missus that I’d get her dates that I’d be in Chicago In July (check) and what June Phish I’d hit this week (almost there).
Occupy Joes Jar: AC
have one hit of the msg jar occupation left.
I too willbe earning valuable Marriott points.
this firestone double jack is starting to make my eyes feel fuzzy
and about 4-16-99, the first set is so unbelievable, you’d be happy with just that. The second set is just gravy. But Holy Fucking Gravy!
OK BBers, saying the dates that we have seen are legit; what Leg 1 show(s), if you could only do one show or one stop, which would you do? Alpine Valley is the closet for me. Or should I stay home and do couch tour and wait for Leg II. Throw me your thoughts.
Atlantic City.
and that ain’t hypothetical, it’s a reality for me.
Worcester or AC. If I had to pick just one, I guess AC
