Fee > Maze help

JOBOOZOSO Permalink
JOBOOZOSO Just watched Fee > Maze - Star Lake 98 DVD.





Reminded me of another Fee > Maze combo:

April 16, 1992

Anaconda Theatre, Isla Vista, CA

Set 1: Buried Alive > Possum[1], It's Ice > Bouncing Around the Room, Split Open and Melt, Rift, Fee -> Maze, Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird[2] > Icculus > Fly Famous Mockingbird > Run Like an Antelope[3]

Set 2: Sanity, Llama, The Lizards, Mike's Song > I Am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove, Horn > Poor Heart, Cold as Ice > Terrapin[4] > Cold as Ice, Carolina[5], Memories[5], Sweet Adeline[5], Suzy Greenberg

Encore: Sleeping Monkey

[1] Random Laugh, Simpsons, Oom Pa Pa, and All Fall Down signals.
[2] Harpua teases from Mike.
[3] Follow the Yellow Brick Road tease from Trey.
[4] Band and crew introductions from Fishman.
[5] Without microphones.

Notes: Possum included Random Laugh, Simpsons, Oom Pa Pa, and All Fall Down signals. Mockingbird contained Harpua teases from Mike. This version of Icculus (first since April 6, 1991, or 118 shows) was, perhaps, the shortest version ever as it did not contain the usual build-up and screaming. Antelope contained a Follow the Yellow Brick Road tease from Trey. Terrapin included band and crew introductions from Fishman. Carolina through Sweet Adeline were performed without microphones. Widespread Panic opened.



I have a copy of the Anaconda Theatre show on CD - got it in the early 90's before internet music.

That copy - one of the best CD bootlegs ever due to A+ sound quality and thumping bass - has a tremendous Fee > Maze.

My question:
Was the Fee cleanly aborted early to jump right into Maze? If so, does anyone know of other examples of the aborted Fee into another song? Or is the audio missing a few minutes and it just happens to be such a clean splice that it sounds good?

thank you very much

Roofless_Sheds WHOA. i never even noticed this correlation...

the Alpine Fee > Maze from this year may be the best jam i've ever seen in person.

BUT.

my favorite Fee > Maze will ALWAYS be the combo that capped one of my favorite (first) sets ever:

August 17, 1996

Plattsburgh Air Force Base, Plattsburgh, NY

Set 1: The Old Home Place, Punch You In the Eye, Reba[1] > Cars Trucks Buses, The Lizards, Sample in a Jar, Taste, Fee[2] -> Maze, Suzy Greenberg

Set 2: The Curtain > Runaway Jim, It's Ice > Brother[3], Fluffhead, Run Like an Antelope > Golgi Apparatus > Slave to the Traffic Light

Set 3: Wilson[4] > Frankenstein, Scent of a Mule[5], Tweezer, A Day in the Life, Possum > Tweezer Reprise

Encore: Harpua[6]

[1] No whistling.
[2] Trey sang verses through megaphone.
[3] Ben and Jerry on vocals.
[4] Heartbreaker tease.
[5] Page/Fishman Mule Duel.
[6] Unfinished.

Notes: This was the second show of The Clifford Ball festival. Reba did not have the whistling ending. Trey sang the verses of Fee through a megaphone. Before the second set, Trey paid tribute to Aaron Stein of Syracuse, who was front row center for every show of the tour. The first Brother since August 2, 1993 (258 shows) featured Ben and Jerry on guest vocals. Wilson included a Heartbreaker tease. Antelope featured a female acrobat twirling in the rigging, suspended above the stage in a circus-like fashion. Scent of a Mule featured a Page/Fishman duel instead of the typical Page/Trey duel. Tweezer had big trampolines on each side of the stage and more circus shenanigans. A stunt plane circled overhead during Tweezer Reprise and Harpua. Harpua was unfinished; it was completed on August 16, 1997 at The Great Went.

JOBOOZOSO Nice info.

thanks

Anyone know if the 4/16/92 Fee > Maze was spliced, or did Phish actually make the sudden abort?

dsanbensoff I remember PT heads arguing about this before. pretty sure it was spliced, if I remember the argument. It's just too perfect right?

Download the show from the google spreadsheet. It's probably the same source as my disc.

Yes, it sounds perfect, as if the band knew going into the song that as soon as Trey says "nectarine", Fishman would start the Maze intro.
