For some reason this show just popped into my head knowing it was 8 years ago today. I think Frank 3 seeded this one. A well known show.

Im not much of a Phishy-file but, maybe you are aware that they have a Phish show on XM radio every friday night. This week is 10/31/94; it's the Beatles White album start to finish.

Sounds intriguing; to those who know, should I listen? yea? nay?

I had the tapes. I haven't heard the show in a long time. It's fun to listen to if you're a phish fan and enjoy the Beatles, but if you're looking for a good rendition of the Beatles White Album.... then I wouldn't bother tuning in.

White Album can only be done in a studio. It sounds very different in a large scale venue. Although I've never been a big fan of Phish's cover shows.

Phish was a great cover band - nothing more.....

First off Phish was much much more than a cover band

Secondly I was at The Glens Falls Halloween show that featured The White Album, it was very emotional and they do a fine job, sure there were no French Horns and Violas but for pure emotional joy it was hard to beat
The rock stuff was much more rockin in an arena and everyone was quiet as a mouse for Julia, I Will & Long, Long, Long

Easily one of the best shows I've been to when you add up all the columns the "vibe" pushes this one over

They tear up the jam on "Me & My Monkey".

12-31-95 DVD torrent - 9 GB (large file) all 3 sets.

>>Phish was a great cover band - nothing more.....

I just spit Sprite through my nose.

Gimme a break...I wasn't the biggest Phish fan out there, but a great cover band? Wha?

I always thought their covers were sort of "goof off lame joke" and the originals were what smoked.

I'm a big phish fan, but one thing i never understood is why phish never put their own spin on most of the covers they played. most of the time they played them just how the original version is. i use the dave matthews band version on 'watchtower'as a good example. thats different, but you still know what song it is. just a thought

Cover band ??????
try a listen to a 97 ghost or stash no one has ever made music that sounds like that .
as unique as it comes .
your loss.
control for smilers cant be bought

the solar garlic starts to rot

12.30.97 - MSG - this rare one should be heard.

"In the Fall of 1997 I would come back from every show I was lucky enough to catch and say to my girlfriend, “That was the best Phish show I’ve ever seen!” We had just started dating and she had yet to see Phish herself, so she would ask “How is it possible that every time you see these guys you say it was the best show you’ve ever seen?” Well, the second night at Madison Square Garden of the ’97 New Year’s run was no exception. From the first downbeat of Allen Toussaint’s “Sneakin’ Sally Through The Alley” I knew we were in for something special. This song had been number two on my wish list of covers for Phish to bring back, second only to “Light Up Or Leave Me Alone” (which, of course, they played at Big Cypress and sound checked at Coventry).

Clocking in at three hours and nineteen minutes, this show broke a lot of rules, and frustrated many a taper. The monstrous second set and extended encore clocked in around 2:18, which proved to be a problem for any taper rolling 2 hour tapes. In fact, the band’s masters in The Archives are cut and do not exist in any contiguous form. Luckily there are some interleaved multitrack tapes which can be spliced together in the future. But for now, I’ve dusted off my own DAT masters (somehow the taping gods were with me that night and I ran a 3 hour tape for the second set). The sprawling “AC/DC Bag” to open Set Two, Trey’s shenanigans during the Harpua, the blistering Izabella, breaking the curfew with Guyute so the band could play two New Year’s Eve shows, and the half hour encore throw-down featuring the “Sally” reprise out of Black-Eyed Katy into a ridiculous “Frankenstein.” Thank goodness for 3 hour tapes!

The minute I popped in the DATs and cranked up the stereo, I was back on the floor of The Garden reliving the whole night. After all the Live Phish soundboards, it was humbling to crack open one of my old audience tapes. The tapes exhibit many of the flaws inherent in an arena audience recording from the taper section, yet the tapes crackle with that raw excitement of midtown Manhattan on the night before New Year’s."

I need my PHIX!!

miss these guys
and the grooves

especially live tunes that I saw and stayed with me:

Faht
Haley's Comet
YEM
Divided Sky
Coil
Curtain

and the tune where I nearly lost it many times was Lizards...

I need to hear the one Phish show that I did attend. Pittsburgh 2003 with all the songs played that weren't played for a long time. Haven't heard it since the show but there were a couple jams that I really got into. Anyone up for a trade or b&p?

don't have it myself, wasn't vined either.

Lost my mind to Character Zero.
