spreaditround PHISH, FRIDAY 06/23/1995
WATERLOO VILLAGE
Stanhope, NJ
Soundcheck: Blues Jam > Goin' Down Slow > Heartbreaker, Nellie Kane, My Sweet One > My Sweet One Refrain Medley > Ring of Fire, Acoustic Army

SET 1:

Simple: I love the little loop at the end that leads into CDT. >

Chalk Dust Torture: Standard.

Prince Caspian: Standard.

Reba[1] Jamcharts version but seems like a fairly average version to me?

Ginseng Sullivan: Standard. >

Free: Standard. >

Taste: Standard.

You Enjoy Myself: Strong jam, but not sure it’s jamcharts worthy?

SET 2:

Runaway Jim: Very strong and engaging jam and I love the loops, psychedelia, and Page on the baby grand in the last minute that segues nicely into The Lizards. Would recommend. ->

The Lizards: Trey a little sloppy in one spot, otherwise solid and entertaining.

The Wedge: Not a fan of the placement, reminds me of 3.0.

Run Like an Antelope: Great interplay between Trey and Fish on wood blocks in the intro. Two sections of intense tension building. Strong version, would recommend.

Harpua[2] -> Jam[3] -> Good times, fun guest and narration

Llama[3] Cool transition out of Harpua.

Good Times Bad Times[3] Not sure who blew some cues (Page?) but this one is sloppy in parts I would assume Popper may have had something to do with that.

ENCORE:

A Day in the Life: Standard.

Summary: Great setlist and well executed for the most part. Two highlights I would revisit, and they are surrounded by plenty of other fun tunes. I am rating this as a 4/5 even though for some reason that feels a tad too strong.

Replay Value: Runaway Jim, Run Like an Antelope

[1] No whistling.
[2] Unfinished; with verse of Abba's Waterloo.
[3] John Popper on harmonica.

Reba did not have the whistling ending. Harpua was unfinished; Jimmy played an Abba record (which led to a verse of Abba’s Waterloo), decided that he hated Abba and thought that maybe a little rocking harmonica would tighten it up. John Popper then came out for to play harmonica on a jam that led into Llama. Llama and GTBT also featured John Popper on harmonica. It's Magic was part of the soundcheck's My Sweet One Refrain Medley.
