spreaditround PHISH, THURSDAY 06/08/1995
THE DELTA CENTER
Salt Lake City, UT
Soundcheck: Prince Caspian, Mound, Wishing Well, The Asse Festival, Jam

SET 1:

Don't You Want To Go? Fun debut.

Ha Ha Ha: Fun debut. >

Runaway Jim: Very good compact jam with the Third Stone from the Sun stuff. >

Guelah Papyrus: Standard.

Mound: Standard.

Fast Enough for You: Standard.

Reba[1] - This jam may have just caught me at the right time with the right headphones and headspace, but I loved it!! Very strong jam. The finale isn’t worthy of all the work that came before it and that may be why this version doesn’t get more recognition. But I would recommend it personally.

Prince Caspian[2] -- Debut, and wow it needs work. Page’s lyrics are ill timed and it’s like he barely practiced this new song.

Chalk Dust Torture: This one smokes and has a little something extra.

SET 2:

Simple: Pages vocals – oof. Very short version. >

Rift: Standard. >

Free: Standard. >

Bouncing Around the Room: Standard. Yikes on the placement. >

Tweezer: The section that starts around 14 minutes through 17.5 is really good. The bluesy wrap up is really sick! It goes from sort of rambling blues to hard rock and then a BEAUTIFUL segue into Lifeboy. Very, very cool stuff. The crowd is taken by surprise and reacts accordingly :) Easy all timer and highly recommended. ->

Lifeboy: Standard. A song that repeats the line God never listens to what I say – that’s a bold choice to play in Salt Lake – the Mormon stronghold >

Poor Heart: Standard. >

Julius: Standard.

ENCORE:

Good Times Bad Times: Standard.

Summary: Average show even with the Tweezer all timer. No worries, the tour just got underway. 3.5/5.

Replay Value: Reba, Tweezer

[1] No whistling.
[2] Debut.

Runaway Jim contained Third Stone from the Sun teases. Reba did not have the whistling ending. This show marked the debut of Prince Caspian. Page teased The Sabre Dance in Tweezer. This gig was originally scheduled for the outdoor Wolf Mountain Amphitheatre in Park City; due to a late spring snowstorm, the day before the show took place it was moved to the indoor Delta Center.
