PHISH, WEDNESDAY 07/01/1998
THE GREY HALL
Copenhagen, Denmark

SET 1:

NICU: Standard. >

Sample in a Jar: Standard.

My Mind's Got a Mind of its Own: Standard.

The Moma Dance: Standard.

Down with Disease: It does the typical DWD thing where it rages and then settles. When this one settles, it goes to a very sparse ambient space and then out of nowhere returns to the ending coda. They don’t really end the song though; it drifts back out into that ambient space with some creepy loops backing it. Super chill jam. Would recommend. Neatly segues into Dog Faced Boy while Mike basically maintains the same manner in which he was playing in the DWD jam ->

Dog Faced Boy: Unique in that it sounds different than normal as they kept the backbone of the DWD jam going through Dog Faced Boy, pretty cool >

Piper: Standard.

Waste: Standard. >

Chalk Dust Torture: Standard.

SET 2:

Tweezer: Exceptional version. Starts off very quiet and funky. Ever so gradually it picks up steam. Things get heated from the mid 13’s to the early 18’s. This section is a must hear! When things get ambient after this, the No Quarter stuff is neat. The last couple of minutes are very pretty and delicate. Easy all timer and highly recommended. >

Also Sprach Zarathustra: Another all timer right here. Has grooves for days on end. Highly recommended. This late 90’s were truly the golden era for this tune >

Loving Cup: Standard. >

My Soul: Standard.

Sweet Adeline: Standard.

ENCORE:

Harry Hood: Good jam but very little to offer in the way of a climax.

Summary: Awesome second set and the first is no slouch with a strong anchor in DWD. The current rating of 4.407/5 (86 ratings) on Phish.net seems accurate to me.

Replay Value: Down with Disease, Tweezer, Also Sprach Zarathustra

Tweezer included a No Quarter tease from Trey and 2001 contained Long Train Runnin' teases.
