Soundcheck

Middle of the Road (several times), Twenty Years Later

A soundcheck isn't part of the show and counts toward no song's play total or gap.

Notes

This show marked the Phish debut of Middle of the Road. Page teased The Birdwatcher in Ya Mar. Prior to Mike’s solo in the intro of Antelope, Trey whispered, “Cactus, Cactus, Cactus gonna play it for you, Cactus.” The keyword for Makisupa was “did like Bobby Brown. I ate my breakfast and I laid back down.” Trey and Mike switched instruments during Makisupa. Trey teased Hedwig’s Theme during YEM. BDTNL was unfinished. During the soundcheck, Trey played an extended tease of the intro to Fly Famous Mockingbird.

Teases

The Birdwatcher — Page (in Ya Mar)

Hedwig’s Theme — Trey (in YEM)

Jam-chart marks are curated by hand and lag the shows — the most recent months are sparsely marked because nobody has written them up yet, not because the jams were weak. See coverage →
