Providence Bowie gets pretty scary. Rosemont YEM gets scarier. MPP 2010 Saw It Again has freaked me out at least once.

Score: 2

MDosque 1/14/13 10:11 am

Great call on the MPP 2nd set - that shit gets really psychedelic and dark for a good several minutes before Piper starts up - I LOVE that show. Best I've seen in 3.0 and no one ever talks about it. The 2nd set is masterful.

IT was a pretty musically scary festival. Waves, Ghost, 46 Days and the Tower Jam all elicit some heavy feelings of terror.

Shafty. I don't know a version that's more specifically dark but that's just a 'dark' song in general. Maybe somebody else knows a date with a good one

The segment right before they go back into Bowie proper to close it is pretty freaky.

The terrible thing about hell
Is that when you're there you can't even tell
As you move through this life you love so
You could be there and not even know

But you say so what I'm doing just fine
The irony is that it's all in your mind
And that's why hell is so vicious and cruel
But you'll just go on an oblivious fool

Pretty much any and every version will be dark with lyrics like these. The only version I can think of that is "light" is 11.17.97. And it's still spooky

11/26/94 Bowie. I actually prefer it to Providence, but it's in the same vein. 36 minutes long.

I can't recommend this jam enough.

I don't know if I'd necessarily consider it "dark," but Drum Logos' Twist > Jam #1 > Walk Away > Jam #2 is some pretty ethereal stuff, perfect to chill to on a rainy day.

Give 12/9/94 Tweezer a whirl, and top it off with Antelope from the same show. Both jams bring the gnar and shred it righteously.

> Tweezer Reprise > Frankenstein -> Kung -> Frankenstein,
This section from the Anniversary show 2nd set. So dark they had to go into All These Dream so people wouldn't die.

December 02, 2003

FleetCenter, Boston, MA

Set 1: Harry Hood > Cavern, Birds of a Feather, Ya Mar^[1], Horn > Piper > Anything But Me, Water in the Sky, Down with Disease

Set 2: Rock and Roll -> Weekapaug Groove^[2] -> Tweezer Reprise^[3] > Frankenstein -> Kung -> Frankenstein, All of These Dreams, The Wedge, Boogie On Reggae Woman > Cities > Maze, Waste

Encore: Bug

[1] The Tra La La Song (One Banana, Two Banana) teases.
[2] Unfinished.
[3] Mike's Song lyrics sung by Trey.

Notes: This gig commemorated the 20th anniversary of the first Phish show. In the audience, a section of seats were roped off to make way for a music stand. The music stand held a three-ring binder that contained lyrics from the Phish canon, but it did not play an active role in the performance. Ya Mar contained teases of The Tra La La Song (One Banana, Two Banana). At the end of Disease, a video screen descended behind the stage. As the house lights remained down, a 25+ minute video was played featuring retrospective highlights from throughout Phish’s career. Before the second set, Mike brought out a tray of desserts and shared them with fans in front of the stage. Highway to Hell was briefly teased by Trey before Rock and Roll. Weekapaug was unfinished. Tweezer Reprise included lyrics (sung by Trey) from Mike’s Song. Appropriately, the post-show house music was the Beatles’ song Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart’s Club Band (which begins with the lyric, “It was twenty years ago today…”).
