Music reviews of Live Phish Vol. 8: 7/10/99, E Centre, Camden, New Jersey
Music Review: Strong Show (As a Whole)
Rating: 5 Stars
This is actually a really strong show. I was a little hesitant at first because I had heard it was everything from "mediocre" to "highly disappointing." After listening I can't really figure out what the deal was. It may not have any rarities or obscure covers or 30 minute long jams, but it has some great playing and strong versions all around. I agree that the setlist is hardly anything to write home about, but a show's not all in the list.
Set I: I find the first set to be stronger than the second. A very strong 'Wilson' starts the show off right and then moving into one of the best 'Chalkdust Torture's I've ever heard. I've heard the song quite a bit and I kind of rolled my eyes at first as I heard 'Wilson' begin to segue into it, but I gave it a chance and was blown away. It doesn't let down for the whole 14:09 (and I mean it DOESN'T let down at all), only to go into a beautiful 'Roggae'. This has become a favorite of mine due to the sweet mid-jam. Then comes 'Water in the Sky', a song I had never really liked much until I heard this version. It is incredible. This has to be one of the best versions of 'Water in the Sky', ever. The rest of the set is good also, 'Bathtub Gin' (of course) being the highlight of the end of the set (although nothing groundbreaking, a captivating ending jam nonetheless). 'Golgi' is the weakest song of Set I.
Set II: I felt like they had a little trouble getting 'Tweezer' going (it felt like they were a little out of sync with each other), but 6 minutes into the song is when it picks up and goes along nicely, eventually into a soothing ambient jam and segue into 'Mountains in the Mist'. 'Birds of a Feather' has also not really been much of a favorite of mine, but this version has a lot of energy to it (a 'Birds' essential) and it works quite well. I can take or leave 'Circus' but 'Fluffhead' is great. A great show ender.
Encore: The most disappointing part of this show is the encore. Decent playing on 'While My Guitar...' but nothing fantastic. The 'Reprise' would have been better matched with a better song before it. They also seemed to be a little bit off again (something about the 'Tweezer' riff tonight?).
I guess the strength of this show really depends on how one defines a "great Phish show." I think the show may seem "disappointing," to some fans, for lack of a definate highlight that is not an overplayed song like 'Chalkdust Torture' (fan jading?). Nothing had it's day except for 'Chalkdust Torture' and 'Water in the Sky'. My vote for best version of both of those.
But, the sound and mixing is superb and the show is really good despite lacking a 'Harpua' or "historic" 'Tweezer'. This is a show I will be returning to from time to time.
****1/2 (out of *****)
