Turkey Tunes: Pt. I
Turkey Day is Coming...
Phish and Thanksgiving have long held a connection in the minds of many fans. Landing on Fall Tour so many times, everyone has at least one funny story about a Phishy Thanksgiving spent on the road. But without a fall tour this year, let’s take the opportunity to look back at the intersection of fall tours past and Turkey Day. This playlist is plucked entirely of shows played on the Wednesday, immediately preceding the festival of family, food and football.
11.25.1992 Keswick Theatrek Glenside, PA
11.23.1994 Fox Theatre, St, Louis, MO
11.26.1997 Civic Center, Hartford, CT
11.25.1998 “The Knick,” Albany, NY

“Zero -> 2001 -> Cities -> Ya Mar” 11.26.97 II, Hartford, CT
One of my favorite jam sequenced of Fall ’97. The “Zero” jam, itself, is a Hendrix-infused dreamscape.

“Tweezer > Lifeboy” 11.23.94 II, St. Louis, MO
A jam of legend from The Fox in ’94.

“Run Like An Antelope” 11.25.92 II
The first renaissance of “Antelopes” came in 1992.

“You Enjoy Myself” 11.25.98 II, Albany, NY
This funked-out “YEM” was the following version played in The Knick after 12.9.95’s monstrous rendition.

“Harry Hood” 11.25.92 II
A thrilling, old-school ride on the night before Thanksgiving.
