Bird's of a feather makes this worth it
Hands down one of the best live phish versions of any song I have ever heard. If nothing else, at least buy the BOAF track. Trey's intense jam coupled with the extreme energy from all the other members (listen to Fish) makes this track inexplicably beautiful and full of life. Keep in mind the era that this live volume takes place, and if you know anything about Phish you know you won't be disappointed. See everyone this summer!.


KILLER SETLIST
Let's not forget the other highlights of the evening, including sporadic moments of "Wipeout" that occur throughout the show. What do you get when you hear a Phish concert setlist that has Runaway Jim, Reba, Run Like an Antelope, Mike's-Hydrogen-Groove, Birds of a Feather, Chalkdust Torture, and Carini? Many Phans including myself wouldn't suggest a better choice of songs than what was played on November 27th, 1998. Other than Volume 4, this is by far the best of the series. Not only is the setlist incredible, but the way they are played stands out as well. I have never heard better live versions than most of the songs played in this show, particularly "Reba". GREAT SHOW. . . BUY IT.


Beyond Grateful Dead
This music leaves the Grateful Dead in the past where they belong. This review is to cast doubt on a previous review. I love the fact they sound different. I did the entire dead tour in 1994 and loved every minute of it but they just weren't as tallented as Phish. Sorry but phish's keyboard solos simply leave all the dead keyboard players in the dust including Bruce Wannabe Hornsby. This show gives you a nice place to start or phish heads the piece of mind now that they are now releasing quality shows. If you compare this to music of the same genre this will undoubtably get a 5. Buy it here or get the flacs directly from phish but do it today.


Runaway Jams
The Wipeout>Chalkdust>Mirror in the Bathroom>. I agree with most of the reviewers below. . . . jam is a spectacular start to an amazing 2nd set. The first set has its moments too. Vultures is great. So is Reba and Ya Mar and Carini.

Nobody has mentioned the Runaway Jim so far so I had to comment. It's the only version available so far in the Live Phish series. I am partial to this song perhaps because it was the first Phish song I ever heard (live and in person only 10 ft away from the band in a small college town bar in Minnesota back in '91). I had no idea who Phish were when my friend persuaded me to go see them but they came on and started with Runaway Jim and I've been a huge fan ever since even if I haven't made it to that many concerts or followed every development over the years (it's hard to when you're living abroad). But beyond my personal connection with the song, I think it's objectively a great song/jam. Why is it not more regularly featured? The version on this CD is a little down tempo than the original version I heard in '91 but it's still has great solos and a nice groove.


far away from brilliant!
As a natural born deadhead, I'm grateful for every jam-band out there and phish definitely is one of the best in this genre. I do not want to offend anybody, but since most people reviewing this album are massive phish-fans, you maybe want to hear the opinion of a "ordinary listener". Trey Anastasio is a very fine guitar-player and like on all live phish records, there is some solid jamming on this one. But to be honest, the songs are mostly. . . they are not much more than vehicles for the jams, the lyrics are rather simpleminded and the melodies shallow. The worst of all is the piano, sounds like third class bar-jazz in fancy restaurants. Anyway, once the band takes off, it's a fun record.
