releasing Hampton 1998 long before Hampton 1997?I remember thinking the same thing back in 1999 when they released it. Other than possibly the greatest simple ever, I don't really care for those '98 shows.
When are they just going to release the Great Went and Big Cypress Dvds?Yeah im still pretty confused as to why they havent been released. I wonder what the big release will be this year?!

I'm with @_________________________, it probably made more sense to them to release the Hampton shows from the previous year, rather than two years prior, in order to get people excited for the '99 run. Similar to how many of the Live Bait releases were designed to whet our appetites for an upcoming tour/run.

Cypress Set two is gonna have to be after exams are over!
*CorectionAmen. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Phish needs to do what the Dead did with Europe '72, but with one (or all!) of those tours.
Fall '94, Fall '95 and Fall '97 Box Sets
I'd be happy with even just a December 95 box set
Hampton 98 had a lot more songs and a decent amount of covers. I know it was released just before the Hampton 99 run. My guess it was to drum up more fans.Do you really drum up fans with a $60 box set?
Do you really drum up fans with a $60 box set?I think the idea was more to drum up excitement among existing fans. In fact, the release could have been to increase ticket sales and box set sales. I know I'd be more likely to buy a Hampton box set if I had tickets to upcoming Hampton shows.
I agree, a $60 box set is not a product release aimed at winning over non-fans.
hampton comes alive seemed to want to capture the fun/gimmicky/random cover song part of the band that had not been touched on previous releases, a live one(jammed out staples), ss and p (funky/covers phish made their own)
