    This was one of my favorite tapes I traded for. Most of what I had was 1990 -95. So I was on the hunt for those heady new current shows. I was at the Lemon Wheel. I had dubbed my tape collection three times over so I had a lot to trade. Ended up amassing a huge tape collection from all the trading I did at the lemon wheel. Knickerbocker was always one of my favorites. I even got some really killer hash plant that I traded for at the lemon wheel. Truly an amazing weekend I will never forget. Well just one of many and I mean many amazing experiences with this band. If you traded tapes with a guy a the wheel that has a big backpack just crammed with Maxwell tapes. With nice printed covers. (definitely helped in the trades they looked really good). Then you traded with me. Still have my take collection I love it to death. I made a lot of friends that weekend. Some I still talk to today. Got a lot of phone numbers that weekend and continue to trade with a good amount of the people I traded with at the show. Even made two really good taper connections. I was able to get current shows from the current tour very quickly after the wheel. Best decision I ever made was sitting there for 2 weeks while almost 3 weeks dubbing my whole collection. Because we had to detect the tape back in the day It took a while. You also listen to most of them while you did it. I really miss the tape trading culture. I miss snail mail tape trees. When a new run of tapes would come in it was always like Christmas and I knew it was time to sit down and really listen to them good dubbed them and send them off to the next person on the list along with a couple extras. It was kind of a pyramid scheme but it worked out for everybody.

    Phish shows can be judged by many different metrics. Not all Phish shows are created equal. This particular evening was a miraculous manifestation of the highest level of technical precision the band may have ever reached in their career. Truly inspiring music was played on this night. How wonderful that this most righteous concert is now available for public viewing. May the Lord Jesus Christ be praised.

      I agree, apart from virtuoso classical pianists musicians, your getting different stuff. I remember 11/27/98 worcester wipeout show it was literally ludicrous it was so skilled as a jazz fan but the fun and creativity of floyd/circus lol. One of greatest musical experiences of my life. Encore was rough but they left it on the stage just weekapaug. As far as their technical peak I still swear sessions at west 54th street is untouchable. All versions of ghost, guyute, were so good and technically brilliant ghost Trey looks at Mike and just shrugs like wow that worked. To take requests and taste on top of it played at that level no lights naked just audible bliss really felt like jazz cafe calling out standards. Just brilliant but I agree entirely with your premise

    I was there for both nights. This was my freshman year at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The first night I split an 1/8 of mushrooms with a cute Asian girl that was in my dorm. I forgot her name. We danced our asses off. I slept on the sidewalk between the concerts. I was very cold. Second night I met up with some hockey friends but lost them at the end. I had to walk back to Troy, New York from Albany, NY about 15 miles.
