“Split Open and Melt -> Catapult” 12.31.99 I, Big Cypress, FL
One of the top highlights from Big Cypress—an all-time great.

“Reba” 6.13.94 II Kansas City, KS
1994 and “Reba,” a match made in heaven. Here is another stellar version.

“Ghost” 8.7.98 I, Raleigh, NC
A first set bomb after the rain stopped at Walnut Creek ’98.

“Piper” 8.8.98 II, Columbia, MD
As Phish came back from Europe, after dropping Prague’s 7/6/98 version, “Piper” continued to expand.

“Tweezer” 11.3.96 II, Gainesville, FL
A groovy and percussive version with Karl Perazzo; two shows after “Remain In Light” you can already hear the influence of the album’s style.

“YEM -> Izabella” 7.26.97 II, Austin, TX
Everyone knows “Tweezabella,” but do you know her sister “YEMabella?”

“Stash” 11.13.97 II, Las Vegas, NV
Phish dropped this mammoth “Stash” on the first night of Fall ’97. Funk, what?

Thanks for the jams Miner and good luck to your Hoyas!
Mornin’
In the deep, dark depths of a college all-nighter, it’s real good to know that places like this exist. Good morning, all!
HOO-Hoosiers!
Got all of my tix with PTMB for Cinci, Star Lake, Blossom & Deer Creek. Only given lawns for Cinci & the first night of DC, otherwise got all good pavs. Gonna upgrade to pavs for Cinci cause it has the worst lawn in the midwest, even with its new space aged synthetic grass. They really hooked me up with the pavs for Blossom – front section, middle stage, 2 rows behind the pit. They did the same thing last year for Detroit. And I thank them.
Don’t tear an ACL with your funky dance moves in Cincy people.
Selector Dad!

For some reason, Shaggy doesn’t want to return to the meth motel in Kentucky. Can’t figure out why?
I was so thankful we went to your friend’s place after the show. That was a breath of fresh air. Can’t beat some free grub after a show.
If they had my stuff it would be tight, Tight, TIGHT!
The nice thing about that motel was that you could work on your car in the parking lot and not look out of place.
Those guys are the most hospitable people you’ll ever meet. Normally, that’s where I stay for Cinci shows. Tracey even does made to order breakfast and doesn’t get pissed when you eat a whole box of Trader Joe lemom cookies during the overnight hours.

You could work on your car in your room I think.
Remember that cupcake show that was on after we got back? Everyone was spun out & not paying attention until there was mention of salmon being added to a cupcake. It jolted everyone back to earth.

@MiA Gdad’s not here at the radio show quite yet. He’ll be here in a little while, though.
By the way, did my voice sound super loud? Using different headphones then usual and my voice through them sounded ridiculously louder than the music.
No. I can’t figure it out. http://www.kvrx.org/listen
Sounded real clear. But roots is kinda softer no?
Thanks, @MiA. Must be the headphones. Wearing my ear buds cause all of the station’s headphones are busted.
And thanks for linking the show @MiA.
Totally forgot about the cupcakes, fascinating.
Great track
Looking forward to Miner’s tracks today too.
