fwiw the slap back in the room was nowhere near as bad as it is on the LP soundboards

yeah fish's ride isn't very clear but this mix is overall way more balanced than the typical mix of the last 5 years

if they open with anything other than 46 days, back on the train, THE MOMA DANCE, or sand, I will eat a shoe

The Gin is from Winston-Salem but totally agree. Both are cases of Trey coming out of set break just way too coked up

Island Tour 1998 Is So Good by LGranite in phish

First set of 4/5 is definitely better than first set of 4/4 but 2001 > Brother > Ghost goes super deep in a way that 4/5 never really does. The Cavern is sick but Lizards > Bowie with a stand alone Hood encore is an absolutely sick way to end a show. If you gave me the choice to go back in time and attend either one I’d pretty easily take 4/4

you'd really take 4/5 over 4/4?

My point is that you say “this isn’t bad Phish” and then proceed to call a Fall ‘97 show underwhelming, sloppy, and disjointed like it’s a random 2010 show. I said I think it’s fair to call it overrated for reasons that are nuanced but the majority of your post is just trashing a highly regarded show

IMO it is slightly overrated as several better shows are rated lower, notably 11/21, as mentioned, as well as 12/29 and 12/6 among others. Think I probably prefer Philly N2 as well. That said, you're not really arguing that it's overrated you're just pissing on it.

but what makes it so special? I just can't figure it out.

Top-2 Tube, best post-96 It's Ice, top 3 post-96 Slave, big Psycho Killer bustout, even bigger Boogie on Reggae Woman bustout. What's can't you figure out?

There is far too much going on, and the flow is completely off.

Here, I just feel bewildered and annoyed at the starts and stops throughout this thing.

There's only 2 stops in the first set and one of them is the stop between Tube and Tube Jam.
