Notes
On November 28, 1994 Phish rolled into Bozeman, Montana for their first play in the Big Sky state – a Monday night show at Montana State University’s Brick Breeden Fieldhouse. The 8500-seat venue known as The Brick was the world’s largest clear-span wooden structure when it was built, and had a dirt floor (useful for rodeos) until 1980. Bozeman was the 36th show on a 46-date tour that stretched from Pennsylvania to Minnesota before crossing the Mississippi and continuing from Montana to Southern California. The Bozeman show was the first western stop and was originally ticketed for MSU Shroyer Gym, but was moved to the larger Fieldhouse. Taping was allowed as with all Phish shows, but the audience tapers missed some portions of this performance. Fortunately the band was recording fall tour on multitrack for the live album that would become A Live One and the story of this Bozeman ’94 recording was born.
Set I highlights included the opening sequence Chalk Dust Torture, 2001 > Scent Of A Mule and Stash. Guyute was new this tour and in peak form, while Simple > Divided Sky lit up the Fieldhouse. Simple included a sit-in by “nine year old saxophone wonder” Cameron McKinney, a lifelong friend of the band who had previously appeared with them onstage in 1988, 1992, and 1993. Set II is legendary for its experimental cornerstone, the Bozeman Tweezer - a 44-minute psychedelic masterpiece as expansive as the landscape. A short piece of this Tweezer was used to create the instrumental Montana on A Live One. Tweezer gave way to an inspired Sleeping Monkey and Julius before the Fee > Tweezer Reprise encore capped the festivities.

ENCORE: Been Caught Stealing[1] > Tweezer Reprise

[1] Phish debut.

This show was webcast live and marked the Phish debuts of Ramble On and Been Caught Stealin’ as well as the breakout of Esther (first since October 19, 1996, or 139 shows). Page teased Gimme Some Lovin' in Weekapaug. 2001 contained Crosseyed and Painless teases from Trey. Chalk Dust included a Jean Pierre tease from Trey and a Shake a Tail Feather tease from Mike.

From LivePhish: "On August 1, 1998 Phish returned to Alpine Valley in East Troy, WI for their third show in America’s Dairyland in as many years. Alpine is a favorite venue – one of the largest amphitheaters on the circuit with a capacity of 37,000, sprawling parking lot, a steep-sloped lawn, and wooden roof. The rowdy Saturday night Alpine crowd was pumped but, even amidst the Summer of Covers, nobody could have predicted this show’s bookends.

Set I exploded out of the gate with a four-song opening sequence of Ramble On > Mike’s Song > Esther > Weekapaug Groove. The Led Zeppelin debut followed by Mike’s > Esther (the only such combination to-date) sent shockwaves through the audience. This was the first Esther in almost two years, and it resolved into a funky cowbell-driven Weekapaug. Other set I notables included Fikus, a rarity debuted earlier that summer in Copenhagen that appeared on ‘The Story of the Ghost’ album that fall, and a lively Funky Bitch set closer.

Set II highlights included Wilson > 2001 > (1998’s only) Magilla > 2001, a transcendent Tweezer > Fluffhead, and a blazing fast Chalk Dust Torture. The encore was another debut cover - Jane’s Addiction’s Been Caught Stealing > Tweezer Reprise, that put the exclamation point on this quintessential summer ‘98 show."

Fish then proceeded to sing a verse of War Pigs. Trey subsequently quoted I Love You (a.k.a. the theme to Barney & Friends) before Harpua resumed. Poster was swallowed up into the earth by the Vibration of Death. "The Vibration of Death is gone" replaced the usual "The storm is gone." Prior to the Vibration of Life, Wilson was teased and quoted. A Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon tease (the heartbeats from Speak to Me) was pumped through the P.A. at the beginning of the second set. The second set "musical costume" was The Beatles' The Beatles (also known as The White Album) and was selected via fan vote. All of the White Album songs, other than Piggies, were Phish debuts, although Ob La Di, Ob La Da had been jammed or teased on many occasions.

Harpua included a story from Mike about a dream about raccoons.

Also, the second set was preceded by recorded Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' and Thriller teases from Michael Jackson's Thriller album. The second set "musical costume" was The Who's Quadrophenia and was performed with Dave Grippo on alto saxophone, Don Glasgo on trombone, Joey Sommerville on trumpet and Alan Parshley on French horn. During Bell Boy, crew member Leigh Fordham, clad in a bell boy outfit, sang Keith Moon’s original part. All of the Quadrophenia songs, as well as My Generation, were Phish debuts. YEM was almost 40 minutes long, contained teases from Trey of The Real Me and DEG, and was preceded by the audience chess move. The chosen fan, dressed as a Wookiee, cracked under the pressure and could not choose a move on stage, prompting a quote from Fish that “Wookiees can’t play chess.” The Rock was teased after the failed move. Jesus Just Left Chicago featured Grippo on alto saxophone; Suzy Greenberg featured Grippo, Glasgo and Somerville. My Generation was performed acoustic. Before My Generation, the crew set up a Keith Moon replica drum set on stage. After the song, Fish and Trey destroyed the drum set a la The Who. Finally, a stagehand brought out a large plunger. Trey pressed it and set off a huge explosion backstage. This show was officially released as Live Phish 14. In the soundcheck, Suzy Greenberg was performed three times: the first with only Grippo, the second with the band and Grippo, and the third with all of the horns, alternate lyrics, and Bell Boy quotes. The jam through the end of the soundcheck was played with horns.

The March 29, 1990 Grateful Dead concert was the first of several to feature Branford Marsalis as a guest musician. In a 2014 interview with Rolling Stone, Marsalis recalled that Dead bassist Phil Lesh had invited him to play with the band for one song.

"I came up for "Bird Song", and after the set was over, I said, 'Thanks for letting me play, guys.' And they're like, 'No, no, stay! Play the second half of the show. We'll do "Dark Star".' That had no significance to me. I'm like, ' "Dark Star"? Okay. What is it?' 'Oh, you're gonna love it. It's free, it's out.' 'Great, I can play out.' They start playing that lick, and the audience goes fucking bananas. Later, I started getting these phone calls on my private number: 'Man, you were great last night. Thanks for getting them to play "Dark Star". They haven't played it in six months.' I'm like, 'Who are these people?'... There was almost nothing [the Grateful Dead] couldn't play—and make the shit sound authentic. When they played a song by The Band or Bob Dylan, they played it with the same spirit as The Band or Dylan. They didn't feel the need to write their own arrangement of it. They were all listeners. There is a point where musicians who establish themselves stop listening to music and start listening to their own rhetoric. The Dead didn't do that. It was obvious in the way they approached a song."

GRATEFUL DEAD - June 1976 Box Set


Parte De Un

Part The Second


During the mid-1970s, the Grateful Dead saga was unfolding like a Greek classic. The Sisyphean Wall Of Sound had nearly broken the band. From it spawned a Medusa head of countless side projects, all deliciously fruitful but woefully not the same as the whole. The chorus lay in wait, pondering the reemergence of their heroes, and wondering if "THE LAST ONE" had really been it...
But in early 1976, Apollonian light and healing would shine upon our intrepid wanderers once again. No more epic battles for the people with cops and lines and tightness, the Dead would return triumphant in smallness, playing intimate theaters and renting equipment along the way. No more ticket scams and greedy promoters, they'd give back with first ever mail-order ticket program, one that had a few kinks to work out but eventually served the fans well.
Musically, June 1976 signaled a Golden Age of harmony and prosperity for the Dead. It marked an Odysseusian-like return for Mickey Hart. Donna Jean was in lock-step with the sirens' call. Jerry and Bob delivered orphic delight with solo musings like "Mission In The Rain" (the only tour they ever played it on), "The Wheel," and "Cassidy," emboldened by group effort. There was fresh repertoire from Blues For Allah, breathing new life to the Dead's continually morphing sound - as Weir once said of the '76 tour, they wanted to play "a little bit of all of it." Old favorites were re-envisioned with cascading tempos and unique sequencing, making the crowd question if they'd ever heard these songs before. And there was comfort and joy in the familiarity of watching the band make it up as they went along. By all means, it was clear that the bacchanalia of live Dead would reign on.
And now the revelry from this epoch, evidenced by the near-studio quality sound captured on two-track live recordings by Betty Cantor-Jackson, lives on, bolstered by Jeffrey Norman's HDCD mastering.
