Listening to every Phish show chronologically. Bummed is what you are.

1997-11-17 Is this show good? An understatement, like JBG’s name here. Ghost is deep & mighty as a river. Masterpiece. #phish

1997-11-16 Set 1 banjo drive-by. Timber echoes 7/2 Stash’s elegance & casts the rest of its set in a beautiful light. #phish

1997-11-14 97’s only FEFY. Gin-like ASZ. Type 2001? Whistleope. Radio City Ghost vibes in Twist, with its own wonderful twists. #phish

1997-11-13 Start a tour in Vegas? Sure. BEK unleashed. Dark ride Stash & Mike’s the star players but skill is obvious even in BATR. #phish

1997-11-7 My favorite TV #phish performance. I remember fans saying Trey’s solo was TOO good. There’s enough to go around :)

[Tom Stackpole @tomstackpole]

@12_7_99_halleys That it always reminds me of the Bittersweet DVD. Apparently I spent a lot of time of time on that menu. And also that it's sort of Gin's opposite. There's a forking musical path there & Phish went with the Gin's peak & not DWD's valley. Mostly. Eventually.

1997-8-17 Some Fall in Tweezer. #phish WOULD mar the perfectest set ever w/ Uncle Pen. MLB+DDJ=One Cool Mule. Just another of so many peaks.

1997-8-16 I’ve never actually heard the Full Went. It’s already better than the Full Ball & the Ball wasn’t bad. 5 hrs of monolithic #phish

[Tom Stackpole @tomstackpole]

1997-8-14 Many-legged Antelope. No more Love Me maybe? Dark Hood resolves to jumpy jam->Forbin. Cuckoo Kesey sit-in. Oddness abounds. #phish

[Tom Stackpole @tomstackpole]

1997-8-13 Stash strays, Gumbo goes ham. Barnyard funk. Amoreena, rarities, Jim, Ghost… where do I stop? A Star (Lake) performance. #phish

[Tom Stackpole @tomstackpole]

1997-8-11 A step down. I did enjoy the guy complaining about the fucking dumbass he works with during Piper though. #phish

[Tom Stackpole @tomstackpole]

1997-8-10 Doldrums over, this is GREAT. Melt & Hood stun. Bye Bye Bye Foot. THE Cities to live in. You can urinate in my ears anytime #phish

[Tom Stackpole @tomstackpole]

1997-8-9 Wilson makes a rainbow connection. Just a good show. SBDs are out there but I want more. At least we get a fine screwy Foam. #phish

[Tom Stackpole @tomstackpole]

1997-8-8 Gumbo boils, Ice is frigid. Highlight: Wolfman's chugs to nice ->Free. It sounds like WGTYM! Still sorta summer doldrums tho. #phish

[Tom Stackpole @tomstackpole]

1997-8-6 Jim. Set the theremin for the high gear of your… Makisupa Policeman? But w/ Stash, Twist, 2001 & YEM this is set 1’s summer. #phish

[Tom Stackpole @tomstackpole]

1997-8-3 That progression in 7/21 Gin, 8/2 Tweezer, 7/23 Julius & this one? Kinda Drowned-like? Yeah. Keep doing that. Relaxed show. #phish

[Tom Stackpole @tomstackpole]

1997-8-2 Ghost gets #phish settled at 1st Gorge. Wolfman's blasts off. DWD slows. Smooth -> to majestic Tweezer. Lights-out Hood. I feel it.

[Tom Stackpole @tomstackpole]

1997-7-31 Plinko Ya Mar swells. Finally a fine Ghost; YEM nabbed its mojo. Jim runs & doesn’t look back. Mike's stays, fights & wins. #phish

[Tom Stackpole @tomstackpole]

1997-7-30 Stash tugs the heart. Bowie->Cities->Bowie mixes classic elements into new, hallowed & note-perfect form. Best #phish groove ever?

[Tom Stackpole @tomstackpole]

1997-7-29 Gumbo jams. Then dark turns to weird w/ type 2 space Antelope. Twist echoes Summer 95 abstraction or forecasts 98 ambience? #phish
