MR. MINER'S PHISH THOUGHTS

TTFW: Late ’90s Grab Bag

12.28.11 – MSG (Graham Lucas)

Runaway Jim” 7.31.97 II, Mountain View, CA

Jammed out “Jims” where have you gone?

***

Tweezer” 8.1.98 II, East Troy, WI

Can never get enough of the Alpine “Tweeze”…

***

Ghost” 7.3.97 II, Nuremburg, GR

Euro ’97 “Ghosts” were slow, funky and exploratory, as Phish honed their new jam vehicle before coming stateside.

***

Bathtub Gin” 10.1.99 I, Ames, IA

A first set smoker from the heartland in ’99. We came out to a smashed window and many things stolen from our car before the all-night drive to Minneapolis. Fuckin’ wooks…

***

Reba” 8.14.96 I, Hershey, PA

A stunning version from a Summer ’96.

***

Stash” 9.9.99 I, Vancouver, BC

A psychedelic trek from Fall ’99’s first set.

***

2001” 7.7.99 II, Charlotte, NC

One of ’99’s top versions.

***

Mike’s Song” 12.2.97 II, Philadelphia, PA

This version needs no introduction—funk warfare.

***

Piper > Guy Forget” 10.1.00 II, Phoenix, AZ

The first bust-out of “Guy Forget” after being a piece of soundcheck lore for years.

***

Weekapaug Groove” 4.3.98 I, Uniondale, NY

My favorite “Weekapaug” to date.
