“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.
[audio:http://phishthoughts.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Track-05-6.mp3]***
“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?

TIII, so VCU won?
@mia
no, but they made the Elite 8. there’s been some solid Richmond shows, but Hartford (UConn) beat them out. FInal Four was UNLV, Louisville, Wisconsin (OJ show put it over the top of Cincy for me but that was a very tough call due to Cincy’s Phishtory), and Temple. Wisco wins over L’ville.
now that I look at it again, you could do that so many ways with all of the phish history in all of these college towns…
testing testing… my posts have all been eaten this morning
ahh, there’s one. no pav luck in AV presale. i got in pretty quick and it seemed like only lawns for both days…
::goes back to lurking::
Great Great Show Selector!
Fresh jams are all we ask for…
@T3
Who do you have beating LIU? With versatile power forward 4/2/98, triple-threat small forward 2/28/03, speedy young PG 8/17/2010, and first-team All-Phish big man 4/3/98 creating problems all over the floor for opposition, they look like a tough team to beat.
Productivity decrease begin
*problems for the opposition all over the floor
Grammar’d.
Sweet staccato work at the start of the Reba jam today. GReat jam all together. Goes to some really interesting places.
Lucky in one way I get to watch March Madness at work. Unlucky if anything with Turners streaming breaks as I’m on call. I love their vid viewer with the boss button.
thanks Miner for digging up that Austin Isabella. Good memories.

Wulf! This is a blazing C & P.
This is the Coral Sky version. #wulf’d
One of the best days in the sporting calendar for sure.
Loving it and even more so working for an employer that sets up a viewing station with multiple tvs, free food, and drinks.
Also, gotta give props to @MiA for his “made of wood” rec. sick, funky piano tunes. Can’t really describe it, but it’s awesome.
Brain Meltage commence
@duke
I think I had them losing in an upset to Memphis. I love me some Island Tour and 2003, but that Memphis 99 show is redic. plus there’s the Mud Island Tweezer, the Gazaway sit-in from Fall 96, and that epic one setter they played in 91 😉
One of the best days in the sporting calendar for sure.
^THIS!
I’m worried about my priorities recognizing how despondent I am that I’m going to be missing wisco this afternoon and all the other games this week, and I can’t try for tickets either
Both my life escapes are pulled away from me. Damn you time Warner for making me such a junky
And I can’t do wireless for on sale cuz I’m on daddy duty and have to be home

@DrP
FUCK Time Warner.
What shows are you looking for?
I love the dissonant, slightly edgy notes in this Reba jam.
Perazzo does work on the cowbell during Coral Sky Crosseyed and Painless. haha, cracks me up
WOW. the Bills just landed Mario Williams! They actually spent some money in a constructive manner?!?
