Synopsis

Description
Rolling Stone magazine famously called Phish "America's Greatest Jam Band," and while Trey Anastasio, Jon Fishman, Mike Gordon, and Page McConnell called it quits as a group last year, their legend lives on. Formed at University of Vermont in 1983, Phish quickly became heirs to the jam band tradition, taking the roots of musical improvisation to a new level and beyond. Of all their now-legendary shows, their 1995 New Year's Eve concert at Madison Square Garden-a masterful blend of composition, theater and improvision-is revered as one of their finest, even by the band themselves. Marking this stellar concert's 10th anniversary, Rhino's deluxe 3-CD release presents the Phenomenal Phish at the peak of their powers. Track Listings: Punch You In the Eye, Sloth, Reba, Squirming Coil, Maze, Colonel Forbin's Ascent, Fly Famous Mockingbird, Shine, Fly Famous Mockingbird, Sparkle, Chalk Dust Torture, Audience Chess Move, Drowned, Lizards, Axilla (Part II), Runaway Jim, Strange Design, Hello My Baby, Mike's Song, Gamehendge Time Factory, Auld Lang Syne, Weekapaug Groove, Sea and Sand, You Enjoy Myself, Sanity,Frankenstein, Johnny B.

Perfect.

"Again, Phish has managed to amaze me.



I've had an audience copy of this show for 3 or 4 years, and I chose to never listen to it because I knew that they would officially release this at some point - and here it is. Gotta say, it was well worth the wait.



Short & Sweet -



Packaging (Who cares??)

They did a good job with the packaging. Nice insert booklet with lots of decent pics.

The essay was pretty comical...



Sound (5 Stars)

This release blows the LivePhish releases that I've heard out of the water as far as sound quality goes. There's nothing really more to say. They nailed it. I've been very happy with Rhino's re-mastering work as of late.



Performance (25,000 Stars)

I won't dive into the play-by-play in this review..I think that it's better left to one's own interpretation.

Simply put, this was Phish at their best. If you're new to the whole Phish thing and are unsure of what the hooplah surrounding these guys is all about, or if you were wondering what this band was actually capable of musically, then search no more.



Overall (5 Stars)

23 bucks well spent. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!!!

Up there with the best of them

"I'm a casual fan of Phish - never got to see them live but love what I've heard. Live at MSG proves that there was a time when Phish could take the audience anyplace with their music - no limitations to their imaginations. Their musical chops are very much in evidence on this night. From everything that I've heard and been able to gather the time period between this cd and 1998 was the golden age for Phish. I'm glad we have such a nice sounding reminder of that time. Only wish I could have been there. For those of you who love jam bands you need to make this purchase right now. I own tons of live Dead, Allman Brothers, and Gov't Mule and I rank Live at MSG right up there with the best of them all.

Buy this above all other Phish CD's

"I remember randomly downloading this show about 5 years ago not realizing what it was. When I found it listed in the Almanac as the number 1 show of all time, I rushed to listen to the whole thing....over, and over, and over.....After 5 years, and countless listens, I'm no where near being sick of this show. Every set has a unique feel to it, but they're all tied together by the non-stop energy and flawless jamming. There are really too many peaks and spine-tingling moments to mention. Since no one else has mentioned it, I'll point out the amazing Weekapaug. If you're a show-collector, you'll notice the carry-over funk jam from the previous nights. Anyway, just buy this show and treat your ears to the greatness of the music."
