Review by MrPalmers1000DollarQ

MrPalmers1000DollarQ I'll start with the caveat that I haven't heard the whole show--only the selections included in the LivePhish release of 5/17/1992. Though this list excludes the jam charted Antelope, it does give a nice sample of highlights from both sets. The Suzy opener is a great showcase of Page chops and exceptionally groovy Mike slaps. Maze offers some nice Trey shredding, though the build-up feels rushed and I miss the tension present in most other great versions of the tune. This shortcoming is compensated for with a lengthy Divided Sky outro jam where Trey flies around like a kid on the playground, having the time of his life. The Mike's Groove features some experimentation on both sides of Hydrogen, foreshadowing some great '93 versions to come. Lastly, we get a spirited Jim that wraps up the collection (and Set 2) quite nicely. Fishman and Trey bring this one home with compelling energy and flash.
