Yeah! This was one of my favorite all time shows. The Timber blew me away as well as the Boogie On Reggae woman. I am so glad I finally got the internet, now I can get the show and listen to it and remember how great it was. It is also interesting to see that it is on the top five.

hands down ONE of the best shows phish has played. killer > jesus. so nasty. gotta love whenever Phish plays the heads. icw>swept>ice is a doozy, but i always LOVE theme, and this one does it for me. The TUBE is basically a `nuff said situation. the dayton jam is just flat out funk, and thats what i love the best when phish plays it. to end the sick set w/ slave is just perfect. now i LOVE timber and this one is no where short of sick. wolf>boogie just keeps the funk rolling right along from the first set. the next three songs are tight as hell to end the show. i love the beatles so A day in the life is just a treat to tie/cap up this monster show. some hose here for sureee.... pay the money my friend my friend, pay it.

the one note alone, played at 7:13 in theme from the bottom makes this one of my favorite shows of all time. perhaps one of the funkiest tubes ever... you can`t go wrong with this one folks...

This show is sick. I remember geting it on tape right after they played this show and it blew my mind. This show on the cusp of Phish`s funk period. AC/DC > Psycho killer is a must hear. Good to finally have a solid recording of this show!

Let me just say, WOW. The funk police should`ve pulled the boys over during this show for being funkier than ever. AC/DC > Psycho Killer is one of the craziest Phish moments ever, music just doesn`t get any better than this. This Psycho Killer seems to just get better ever time I listen to it. It truely is a delight. Solid first set, Tube was ridiculous and the Dayton Jam that followed was sick. FUNK, FUNK FUNK! Timber started off the 2nd set nicely but the Wolfmans > Boogie On is where it`s at. To finish out the set, the Reba, Guyute, and Possum are all amazing. All 3 probably rank high as possibly the best versions of each. I just can`t get enough of this show, its tight from start to finish. If you`re looking for an absolutely nasty show, look no further. THIS IS THE ONE! one of the best shows ever, period.

This show is absolutely amazing. The AcDc is short but sweet, really good version. Into a song called Psycho Killer which rocks. Once they do these two funky songs you know your in for a really fucking treat. Soon into the first set they break into a Ice-swept away-Ice which is off the wall. The theme from the bottom is a really good version that is a must to own. Finally the peak of the first set comes along into a Tube-Dayton Jame-Slave. After tube they stop playing and after like 10 seconds they bust into one of the sweetest funk jams ive ever heard. During the second set they open with timber. But once you think it cant get any better they start playing wolfman`s, during which mike is fucking off the hook. He really out does him self here. During the end of Wolfmans he starts playing boogie on and trey and page and fishman get the cue and oh so smoothly start playing boogie. Then they bust out into a really good Reba. Then to finish the set they do a really good guyute into a pretty standard possum. Finally as an encore, Da in the life. Definetly in my top 3 favorite phish shows of all time.

Buy this show immediately. I could never choose just one Phish show as a favorite, because there are just so many good ones out there, but if I had to choose one, this Nutter Center show would definitely be it. It`s filled with tight, funky jamming, and displays everything that Phish is all in one show.

The entire show is a highlight all on it`s own, but if you must now the highlights of the highlights, then here you go:

It`s Ice>Swept>Steep>It`s Ice (Just a great segueing groove)
TUBE! (Buy this show just for the TUBE! Funky as hell. Page and Mike are on fire.)
Wolfman`s>Boogie (Mike forces the segue into Boogie with his funky slap bass. Incredible.)
Possum (Always a good jamming tune, but this version Trey solos extremely well.)
A Day In The Life (An awesome encore, and a great way to end the night on a mellow sort of note, yet at the same time paying respect to one of the greatest bands of all time.)
