conradjohansen I reiterate my answer for favorite Mike's and Mike's Groove...
November 22, 1997

Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA

Set 1: Mike's Song[1] -> I Am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove, Harry Hood > Train Song, Billy Breathes, Frankenstein > Izabella

Set 2: Halley's Comet > Tweezer[1] > Black-Eyed Katy > Piper > Run Like an Antelope[2]

Encore: Bouncing Around the Room > Tweezer Reprise

[1] BEK teases.
[2] Lyric changed to "Michael Esquandolas."

Notes: Mike's Song and Tweezer both contained BEK teases, with the ones in Tweezer taking place well before the segue into BEK. Fans of stage banter will want to seek out the second set for Trey’s humorous response to the crowd’s Destiny Unbound chant before Halley’s. The "Marco Esquandolas" lyric in Antelope was changed to "Michael Esquandolas." This show was released as part of the Hampton/Winston-Salem '97 boxed set.

Score: 4

Madison Square Garden, New York, NY

Set 1: Punch You In the Eye, The Sloth > Reba[1], The Squirming Coil > Maze, Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird[2] > Shine[3] > Fly Famous Mockingbird > Sparkle > Chalk Dust Torture

Set 2: Drowned[4] -> The Lizards, Axilla (Part II) > Runaway Jim, Strange Design, Hello My Baby, Mike's Song[5] -> Digital Delay Loop Jam

Set 3: Auld Lang Syne > Weekapaug Groove[6] > Sea and Sand, You Enjoy Myself, Sanity, Frankenstein

Encore: Johnny B. Goode

[1] No whistling.
[2] Narration discussed how Phish makes time in the Phish Time Factory.
[3] Phish debut; Tom Marshall on vocals.
[4] Fire on the Mountain tease.
[5] Dave's Energy Guide tease from Page.
[6] Auld Lang Syne, Dreaming, and Spooky teases. Unfinished.

Notes: Reba did not have the whistling ending. The narration in Mockingbird discussed how Phish makes time in the Phish Time Factory, which set up the New Year’s Eve stunt. The Phish debut of Shine featured Tom Marshall on vocals. Drowned included a tease of Fire on the Mountain shortly before Lizards. Mike's Song contained a Dave's Energy Guide tease from Page. The second set ended with a Digital Delay Loop Jam out of Mike’s, and the third set opened with the Phish Time Factory machine. All four band members dressed as scientists playing with synths while lights flashed and Van de Graff generators zapped. Fishman was lifted up in a bed as Father Time and was reborn as the Baby New Year. Weekapaug featured Auld Lang Syne, Dreaming (Blondie), and Spooky teases and was unfinished. This was the first performance of Sanity since June 24, 1994 (147 shows). This show was officially released as New Year's Eve 1995 - Live at Madison Square Garden.

Antelope contained a Jean Pierre tease from Trey. Fishman was on trombone for parts of Antelope (which also included a Simpsons signal). Trey teased Roundabout before Mike’s Song and uttered the line, “Help me... I’m melting and I can’t solidify!” Weekapaug contained Oom Pa Pa and Random Note signals as well as a brief On Broadway tease from Trey. Sanity's intro featured various nicknames of the band and crew being shouted, while the end contained a vocal jam with more names being called out. Fish used the Bag-Vac during Terrapin. The Secret Language Instructions featured introductions of the Simpsons, Random Note, Turn Turn Turn, and All Fall Down Signals with Bowie being played in the background. Possum subsequently contained two Simpsons signals and an All Fall Down signal.

kipmat I'm so glad this thread followed up the Mike's Song thread. I mentioned 5/8/93 in the other thread, the "Amazing Grace jam" is sweet like strawberries.

4/16/92 is a throwback favorite. Trey uses volume swells to create a nice effect, and his "machine gun" playing style in the early 90's was well suited to 'Paug.

12/31/97 is also crazy. I love all the breakdown solos, and Trey's comments toward the end. I imagine what it would have sounded like if Trey had the band drop out, and have the entire MSG crowd sing the closing chorus, before they came back in to finish it.

Holy shit! I'm like three messages into this thread and thought about how bad ass STROBE LIGHTS seemed in the pavillion at that show. My first Mike's Groove! So it might be my vote by default.

sirhotpants I'd also like to say Gorge 7/17/98. It's just... fast.

Start-stop jamming, following a ferocious 2001 > Mike's. This is one of the only AUD's I'll still listen to.

It's got to be 12/31/95. The second half of that jam, when Trey gets back on the guitar after the drum kit defines what Phish is to me.
