Music reviews of Live Phish Vol. 17: 7/15/98, Portland Meadows, Portland, OregonMusic Review: great, just a little dirty unfortunately
this is a good show, however you must take some caution. here, i'll start with the bad things about this show. the recording is not as good as other livephish releases, certianly not as good as releases from livephish.com and unfortunately not even as good as live tapes that are now on the net. the PA crackles a lot, especially at the beginning and when many band members are singing. the drums don't sound too hot either. i'll admit that the first time i listened to this show i said to myself "this sucks, because the sound is awful...it must have been picked only for the bass playing (note - mike gordon, phish's bass player, was the main authority on which shows should be included in live phish 17-20). however when i gave it a bit more of a chance, i got past the sound and realized that there is some great stuff going on. this is a great release considering the setlist because you get a chance to hear phish starting to play new material (as far as i know (and is alluded to by trey during parts of banter), this show has some of the first performances of tunes from "the story of the ghost" and there are a lot of tunes from that album here, setting a funky overtone for the rest of the show). the second set seems like another underrated second set (check out livephish no. 10). the band kicks off into limb by limb (one of my favorite set openers) and has such a cool transformation into simple, with trey slowly dragging out the initial riff in a low octave w/ octave pedal!!! so cool. when tweezer shows up, you know that there is going to be some jamming and seguing coming up, and so for whatever reason they bust out "california love" as performed originally, i think, as opposed to tupac shakur's version. this goes back into quite a bit more tweezer and ends a long string of playing with "free", and a damn good version of it. the set ends with harry hood which might appease any fans who don't seem to like any original material written after 1993(!). the bathtub gin filler is a very cool version that lasts over 20 minutes, very cool! this show is highly reccomended, and my rating should really be 3.5. if this show was in as good a quality as more of the series, it would certainly be higher. just be prepared to give it a chance.
