let's see... can i really preach the virtues of this jam on this forum everyday...YES I CAN!

12/29/95- bt gin> real me> bt gin. it doesn't get any better!

lol i saw bens name and said...."hmmmm, i wonder what HE said"

i cant think of my favorite...there are so many. gin> real me is definitely one of them. i always had a soft spot for gin> uncle penn as well. we all know the date of that one.

i especially like the back end of the real me> Gin jam. its mythodical and pure genius. its one of those segues that make you shake your head in disbelief....unable to fathom how 4 guys can be THAT good

the whole jam is sick. i still cant believe they did that as well as they did. i love when the crowd finally realizes that gin is back. their roar gives me chills every time

The Ghost> Slave from 7/4/99 is super nice, too. Make sure you know this show. One of my fave's...

July 04, 1999

Lakewood Amphitheatre, Atlanta, GA

Set 1: My Soul, Ya Mar, Farmhouse, The Oh Kee Pa Ceremony > AC/DC Bag, The Wedge, Vultures, I Didn't Know, Fast Enough for You, David Bowie

Set 2: Ghost -> Slave to the Traffic Light^[1], The Horse > Silent in the Morning^[2] > What's the Use?^[3], Wilson > Mike's Song > Sleeping Monkey > Weekapaug Groove

Encore: Carini > Meatstick Reprise

Encore 2: The Star Spangled Banner

[1] What's the Use? tease and a Dark Star tease from Mike and Page.
[2] Little Drummer Boy tease.
[3] Debut.

Notes: Fishman, introduced as “Flagina Fishman,” took a vacuum solo during I Didn’t Know wearing only stars and stripes boxers. Slave included a What’s the Use? tease and a Dark Star tease from Mike and Page. What’s the Use? subsequently debuted later in the set. Silent included a Little Drummer Boy tease. After Carini, the band reprised the chorus of Meatstick while part of the crew and a few fans did the Meatstick Dance. The band performed the second encore in stars and stripes outfits. The show was followed by a fireworks display.

11-30-95 at the Nutter Center outside of Dayton. They had 2 of them. First set, third song was Julius, then it went into NICU, Bathtub Gin (fast version), Rift before going into Fast Enough for you, which I love anyway. The second set was the killer though. Started off with Cars-Trucks-Buses, then went into Tweezer, Markisupa Policeman and then Run like an Antelope (best version I've ever heard, period! they went fucking crazy on that tune) and then Scent of a Mule. Killer, killer, killer to say the least.....

Mike's Song -> Fuck Your Face

Listen to the way Mike's ends and Fuck begins. Those songs were meant to go together.

I actually think Mike wrote it that way.

the front-end is no joke either. when trey starts hitting those real me chords...yowser.

July 06, 1998

Lucerna Theatre, Prague, Czech Republic

Set 1: Buried Alive > AC/DC Bag -> Ghost -> Cities,

Been talked about pretty recently in here and might even have it's own thread. It's dirrttttyyy.

I actuallly really like the 46 Days-> Possum from 6/17/04. 46 Days goes into Possum so perfectly.

I've been rocking 12/6/97 Tweezer> Izabella lately on a regular basis and it's a pretty sick segue.

All time has gotta be the 6/14/2000 Twist> Jam> Walk Away....they play around with the Walk Away riff for several minutes before finally building up to it.

yeah, this tweezer> izabella is choice! another one of my all time favorite jams. also, see the burgettstown '97 ghost> izabella. not quite as good of a segue but a killer jam.

also, i'll throw the woostah '98 cdt> mirror in the bathroom> cdt. good stuff in a killer set.

OP: that DWD-»Mikes is the segue of that show

More recently the mango-»weekapaug from manchester had trey strummiing weekapaug for the last 2 minutes of mango!

Wipeout> chalkdust> mirror in the bathroom> chalkdust> dog log. Upbeat, good ole' phashioned phish phun

Gumbo > Llama from 6/14/2000

The Landlady > The Mango Song from 02/01/91

4.26.96 YEM -> Wolfmans. VOCAL JAM SEGUE plus piece by piece intro to Wolfmans. Soo nasty.

yes, that maneuver is very unique. i haven't listened to that show in FOREVER! in fact, i know i have a good copy on cassette, but i'm not even too sure i have it digitally. i may have to pull that bad boy down today, just for the yem> wolfman's and micheal ray ripping ctb. good call my man

^ I think you mean the 99 Birds> Walk Away...I've got that one on the HD thanks to your rec for good Birds from another thread. And it is a smoker. Haven't heard the 10/29/98 one, have to check it out.

Walk Away has such a killer riff. It's a great landing pad for a deep jam. Love the outro jam they featured last year too.

ah yes, type-o. birds is one song that i thought was really hot in '99, see polaris and the aforementioned creek show....hmm good stuff!

Maze -> Shafty -> Possum from 4/5/98 gets a mention just because I'm listening to it right now and its fucking seamless as can be.

I've always really enjoyed the Limb by Limb-> 2001 from 12/29/98. It's very spacey and ambient and then just kicks way up. Trey plays this super metal riff but very quietly as they bust into 2001. It's nonlinear and tight and amazing. I get goosebumps every time I listen to it. If I'm in the car listening to it and I get to where I am going before it's over I sit in the car and rock it out. People do stare sometimes but it's because they're jealous.

Well, favorite segue means just one and I realistically can't do that. I do know that I fuckin dig on the Runaway-> Gypsy Queen-> Jim from 4th night Red Rocks(8/7/96). Tight broheem-broheem. Real tight!!!

i hadn't listened to this is, well, probably years. due to your recommendation, i popped this in on my way home from work. NNNAAASSSTTTYYYY! gracias!

Fuck Yeahhhh!!! Good to hear. That Reba->Walk Away from the LA Greek is a beast. Trippy atypical Reba fo sho

Ghost> halley's> tweezer> possum 11-24-98

A whole bunch of amazing segues in this second set, which is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone who hasn't heard it—really one of my favorite sets of '94.

November 30, 1994

Campus Recreation Center, Evergreen College, Olympia, WA

Set 1: Frankenstein, Poor Heart > My Friend, My Friend > Reba^[1], Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird -> The Vibration of Life -> Fly Famous Mockingbird, Down with Disease > Bouncing Around the Room, I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome^[2], My Long Journey Home^[2]

[1] No whistling.
[2] Acoustic.
[3] Unsually long delay at end, with some band members "snoring."

Notes: Reba did not have the whistling ending. The Mockingbird narration included The Vibration of Life. I’m Blue I’m Lonesome and My Long Journey Home were performed acoustic. There was an unusually long delay at the end of My Sweet One, with some of the band members “snoring.” Antelope was unfinished. Amazing Grace was performed without microphones. This show is available as an archival release on LivePhish.com.

Um, and yeah, 7/22/97 Disease -> Mike's, obviously. But you knew that.
