Midcoaster Revisiting this Euro tour after 25 years, I'm still left gobsmacked by this first set. It has a certain "je ne sais quois" immediacy to this day. The Wormtown vibe rears its funky head, and the delicacy @waxbanks references never ceases to amaze me. After the 93-96 blast off of rock weirdness, this is a nice shift. It's a remarkable advancement for a band that had already logged 14ish years. Who does that? Most outfits find a style and don't deviate, ever! All of Phish's powers are on display in one set. Too bad I didn't have the foresight to even know that this was happening at the time! Feeling FOMO from this distance in time is silly, but it's real.
