MR. MINER'S PHISH THOUGHTS

Festival Express II

Here’s another run through Phish’s eight festivals, one highlight at a time. Enjoy the jams as the weekend (and Super Ball IX) approaches!

***

The Clifford Ball

Mike’s -> Simple” 8.16.96 II

One of The Clifford Ball’s lasting highlights (with a scorching second jam in “Mike’s.”)

***

Tweezer> Taste” 8.17.97 II

These festival-sized grooves laced Sunday afternoon’s set at The Great Went. This version included teases of “Cities” and “Simple,” both highlights of the previous night.

***

(Pollock)

Gumbo -> Sanity” 8.15.98 II

Some quintessential Summer ’98 funk on the grandest stage of the season.

***

Piper” 7.18.99 III

One of “Piper’s” finest versions; a thrilling ride.

***

Big Cypress

Twist -> Caspian” 12.31.99

This “Twist” provided an introspective jam that truly evoked the passage of time as the calendar turned to 2000.

***

Waves -> Bowie” 8.2.03 II

Another psychedelic masterpiece from IT.

***

Walls -> Runaway Jim > Jibboo” 8.14.04 I

Coventry

Though Coventry may have been a train wreck, its opening sequence was surprisingly hot.

***

2001 > Light > Slave” 11.1.09 III

The closing sequence at Festival 8.
