MARCO_ESQUAND0LAS For the 3.0'ers try 12/31/10 - my first & favorite. Right time of year to be listening to that whole MSG run anyway.

And don't miss 6/17/04. A meatball extravaganza.

elton_john Permalink
elton_john By far my favorite Free. This crazy second set was highlighted by an hour-long lightning show, which the band had a lot of fun with. Such a great night, out in the lawn section. Right as the encore started...rain. A shitload of rain.

July 23, 1999

Polaris Amphitheater, Columbus, OH

Set 1: Ya Mar, NICU, Back at the Chicken Shack > Punch You In the Eye[1], Fast Enough for You, Back on the Train, David Bowie, Strange Design, Possum

Set 2: Ghost -> Free > Birds of a Feather > Meatstick > Fire

Encore: Bouncing Around the Room > Rocky Top

[1] Trey played keys for part of PYITE.

Notes: Trey played keys for part of PYITE. During Meatstick, Trey talked about the band’s desire to teach fans the Meatstick Dance and break the world record. He then informed the crowd that the New Year’s Eve concert would be played in Florida.

MiguelSanchez Permalink
MiguelSanchez As always, I'm w/ the 7/23/99 crowd. I was with in spitting distance of page the whole show and this 2nd set blew my mind. Trey looked absolutely menacing during free.

Either way, summer '99 was a good tour for free.

kipmat Permalink
kipmat Great list. A Free jamming chart should also include 6/26/95, segued out of DWD. Crazy stuff.

If you like 6/17/04, take a listen to 2/21/03 Cincy, 7/22/03 Deer Creek and 6/26/04 Alpine. More of that great Cactus riffage.

It's been a while since Phish jammed out Free, but it's still a good tune. My 3.0 favorites include 11.18.09, 6.26.10, 8.5.10, 10.12.10, 5.28.11, 8.9.11, and 6.8.12.

Bulletproof Permalink
Bulletproof Does anyone know where to find a high quality version of the 6.30.99 show? I got mine from phishows.com and there is a lot of clipping throughout the whole show. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Score: 0

highhat Permalink
highhat 6/30/99 for the purest emotion and best reprise of the refrain.

Free's from '99 are great mostly due to Treys' key exploration...
