PHISH, SUNDAY 02/23/1997
FILLMORE
Cortemaggiore, Italy

SET 1:

Carini: started off as a pre-recorded tape playing through the P.A. system – so that is pretty unique!

Axilla: Standard. >

All Things Reconsidered: Standard.

The Sloth: Standard.

Love Me: Standard.

Rift: Standard. >

Fluffhead: Smoking! Would recommend.

Frankenstein: Standard.

David Bowie: Hot fire especially for 97. Would recommend.

SET 2:

Daniel Saw the Stone: Standard. >

Suzy Greenberg: Nice and funky. Extended jam with Page running wild. Would recommend. >

Maze: Absolutely crushed by Trey. So much tension and a huge release. He flies off the handle a bit at the very end. Would recommend.

The Horse > Silent in the Morning: >

Peaches en Regalia: >

Mike's Song: First Jam – Just straight up rager, intense! The second jam is so chill, and it is a window into all the ambient jamming that they would adopt in 98. Very strong version would recommend. >

Why Don't We Do It in the Road? > Hold Your Head Up: Typical Fish hilarity.

Good Times Bad Times: Standard.

ENCORE:

Billy Breathes: Standard. >

Rocky Top: Standard.

Summary: Very good but odd show. The second set is kind of bizarre. But this show has highlights all over the place from true Phish heavy hitters. Would hit this at 4.2/5.

Replay Value: Fluffhead, David Bowie, Suzy Greenberg, Maze, Mike’s Song.

Carini started off as a pre-recorded tape playing through the P.A. system. Phish took the stage and picked up the song from where it was on the tape and continued to play. This show also featured the first Daniel Saw the Stone since August 28, 1993 (289 shows) and the first Why Don’t We Do It since June 25, 1995 (144 shows). GTBT contained a Tweezer Reprise tease.
