n00b100 One of the more interesting selections of the official LivePhish catalog, not necessarily because it's an all-time great show, but because apparently no audience tape exists and Shapiro decided to release it (in the pandemic year of 2020, no less) to plug that gap and make available one of the few shows nobody outside the venue that night had heard. And it's not bad, all told - it's not quite at the level of the best of May or August 1993, but it's a charming good time in the way 1993 Phish tends to be a charming good time, I greatly enjoyed the lunar eclipse talk -> How High The Moon -> Mockingbird narration in Set 1, Bowie and Stash bring that skin-crawling early-90s tension you just don't get from modern-day Phish, and MFMF -> Kung > YEM offers up a nice slice of The Weirdness that early Phish trucked in. If you haven't heard 1993 Phish before, I'd direct you to 8/13 and 5/8 first, but this should absolutely be a stop on your adventure into early-90s Phish, and the sound quality is fabulous. My kingdom for an It's Ice like this one in 2024!
