Continuing our Friday focus on one era in particular, today we turn to Fall ’97. I tried to assemble a playlist without going for many of the big guns, but some slipped through the cracks. Happy Friday!
***
“Stash” 11.13.97 II
The opener of the second set of tour in Las Vegas, and a piece that illustrates that Fall ’97 contained far more that funk grooves.
***
“Antelope” 12.6.97 I
And then on the other hand, Phish could throw funk jams into just about any song at any time, as illustrated by this “Antelope” from Auburn Hills.
***
This is the second half of Phish’s first four-song set of Fall.
***
“Tweezer” 12.12.97 I
The final “Tweezer” of tour from Albany, New York.
***
“Bathtub Gin > Llama” 11.19.97 I
A dark-horse fall highlight from Champaign, Illinois.
***
“2001” 11.19.97 II
My personal favorite version from 1997.
***
“Mike’s Song” 12.2.97 II
A monster version from that kicked of the second set at The Spectrum, (but still no second jam due to “Simple”.)
***
“YEM” 11.28.97 I
A classic, “Crosseyed”-laced version, that never gets old.
