“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

“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?

Great tunes to wake up to today Miner.
I can help with some on sales tomorrow before I head to work unless the baby decides she wants to leave her oven and enter this world.
Slave Ambient and Wagonwheel Blues are great albums.
fuck anyone know the password for the alpine presaL
e?
Have to throw this out, do any of you think that any show other than maybe the opening run and the 4th will sell out immediatly?
wow that was a waste of my morning………kicks can
saxaphone LW
apparently it was xrtradio…..tickets gone
wow! I just got way lost….Tweezer 11-28-94…thanks again KP for those leaked sbds…
@lw: livenation app is sold out too. I can’t even get a lawn seat?
yeah the page didn’t go live right away for sunday. I hear everyone was pulling lawns. Guess we get to try again tomorrow. Was just hoping to get one down today.
F alpine. You can even buy lawns on the presale?
This is moronic.
I was trying for Sat.
miner, you were doing such a great job, reeling us back to earth, with the 3.0 highlights.
now you come in today, trying to show they’re a nostalgia act anymore.
what gives?
Remember that one time you got all your mail orders filled with postal money orders? Nothing returned? That was awesome!
Sorry, do people need AV lawns, I’ve got one up on my screen for Sun.
I love the Karl Perazzo shows. Just want to throw that out there.
Wooooot!!!!! GA Pit for Blossom. FIrst time ever!!!
still pulling lawns from the presale for Sun
“xrtradio”
anytime bhizzle, that playlist is wicked good for the soul. dude. like. totally gnarly. way.
nice work selectah!
grooves, that’s a great shed. i think i’ve seen every phish show there. always an incredible jam or two, but yet to drop a two set smoker…………2012 is the year for Cuyahoga
Any AV pav seats from that presale?
I’m confused. Did Magic Milton not make it to the station today? not complaining, but wasn’t expecting the bounty of roots we’ve had
just went on a blitz of filling out a bunch of brackets in the espn thing. can’t hurt to maximize the options for the number of ways I won’t win their little contest. I even filled one out with picks made entirely based on the quality of phish shows in that town or very close nearby as the criteria for winning.
@Robear Phish is a nostalgia act. So it is.
i’m out of the loop with tickets this year. had no idea about any presales….any decent extras?
