Utah ’97 was the second show at the top of an illustrious 21-date fall tour that stretched from Las Vegas to Denver to Hampton/Winston-Salem to Philadelphia, Michigan, Dayton, and upstate New York. Fall tour was dubbed “Phish Destroys America” and it lived up to the moniker, coming near the end of a busy year that had already included two Europe tours, recording sessions for what would become ‘The Story Of The Ghost’ and ‘The Siket Disc’, and release of Phish’s debut single-show live record ‘Slip Stitch And Pass’. The band was exploring funkified treatment of their catalog, crafting seamless sets packed with monumental jams. That night was a full moon, tickets cost $22.50, and the Friday night show drew in a crowd eager to check out Phish’s evolving sound. Utah ‘97 set I highlights included a Runaway Jim show opener followed by a breakthrough gooey funk Gumbo, Maze > Fast Enough For You, expansive 2001 > Funky Bitch, and Run Like An Antelope with a whistled “Marco Esquandolas” segment as part of an extended joke from Trey’s Guyute dedication to FOH engineer Paul Languedoc (who told the band that any song with whistling is a good one). A blistering four-song set II unleashed a non-stop improvisational voyage through Wolfman’s Brother > Piper > Twist > Slave To The Traffic Light that lit up the room and sealed this show’s destiny as an archival release. A Bold As Love encore closed out the night – an exclamation point on a phenomenal show that quickly intensified the legend of Fall ’97. Utah ’97 was recorded by Paul Languedoc to 2-track digital and mastered by Fred Kevorkian.

"28th time listening to this Gumbo and I bent my wookie"

"The gumbo is too good to not repeat 27 times. it will become your only focus and your poor wife will say "Gumbo no fun, bro. Daddy left us for a song. id never do that, say that in court.""

"This was my first Phish show! I was so excited to see that it had been added to live phish. I don’t know too much about the band at that point. One of my brothers had lent me their copy of A Live One and that was my jumping off point. By 2000 I was trading discs like a machine and managed to get every show from 2000. Sadly most of my discs got destroyed while in storage while we were moving in 2004. This has been a blast to listen to. The opening set is about as good as it gets for me."

"Traveled back in time for this show looking for the golden sphere tickets. Surely they're somewhere deep inside the 2001 but I can't tell for sure..."
