Just One of Those Days…
We’ve been recalling some memorable Dead shows recently, but today it seems appropriate to reflect on more than one memorable Phish show that took place on this day. During the spring of ’90, ’92, ’93 and ’94, the band was debuting a wide array of new songs, and moving through distinctly transitional phases that would alter the dynamics of their improvisation. For example in ’92 speedjazz was taking hold as the dominant style of jamming, whereas in ’94 wildly outside psychedelia would be the emerging theme. These shows capture the band during these transitional phases, and foreshadow the types of musical evolution that would take place as the years progressed. The shows today all feature multiple highlights, some well-known, some more or less unknown. Today is just one of those days where there are highlights aplenty…
“The Landlady” > “Possum” (4.29.92)
“Split Open and Melt” (4.29.93)
“Reba” (4.29.93)
“You Enjoy Myself” > “Fast Enough For You” (4.29.94)
“Mike’s Song” (4.29.94) *features a segment reminiscent of the “Mind Left Body Jam”
“Uncle Penn” (4.29.90)

Thanks for putting all these playlists together, they always make my day one of those days.
