I had picked up Phish‘s Vegas 96 (well, ordered it from Dry Goods). The album is fantastic (though I haven’t watched the DVD yet; I got the limited edition pack with the DVD and book). It makes me wish I had been there, it sounds like it was an awesome show to have attended. They open up with Wilson and move to Peaches en Regalia (a Zappa tune). The setlist is amazing from the beginning of the first set through the end of the encore when they brought out Les Claypool and Larry LaLonde from Primus and 4 Elvis impersonators.
While almost all the songs are played great, they play Harpua (the encore) a little slow and Trey screws the vocals up a bit because of the speed. Other than that, it’s a great encore and great story. Check out the setlist at Phish.Net‘s Helping Phriendly Book for more notes on the guests and covers.
This is a must have for any Phishhead or anyone who just likes Phish. It’s a great live album of an entire uncut performance.
