Don't Miss This One
Phish w/ the Giant Country Horns in NH. This is by far one my favorite Live Phish albums out there. Probably the best version of the Landlady that I've ever heard (incredible guitar work). Buried Alive and Flat Fee really provide a nice jazzy groove. Sick versions of Bathtub Gin, Reba, Mike's Song, Gumbo, Tweezer and Suzy Greenberg. The Horns make this one more unique. Sound quality is great. Seriously, if you're a fan, and you don't have this one, get it.


The Horns Make This One Essential
Plus, on songs like "The Landlady," the band stand back and just let the Country Horns blow away, and it makes for some of the best listening in the Live Phish series. This set stands out mainly for the horn section - once you've heard "Tweezer" with the full brass, anything else just sounds limp.

And TREY'S GUITAR PLAYING!!!! - hold onto your hat, because here he shreds like you wouldn't believe, and it's recorded with crystal clarity as if his amp was on the other side of your room. His playing on "Buried Alive" is unlike anything you've ever heard. Unbelievable.

Not to overlook the other band members. Mike Gordon's bass comes through especially loud and clear - on tracks like "Cavern" and "Weekapaug Groove," you can feel the funk running down your spine.

But it's the horns and the sound quality that make this an essential purchase. As great as later recordings such as NEW YEAR'S '95 and LIVE IN BROOKLYN are, they're major venue recordings, and you lose the intimacy. Here, you have Phish playing for you in a historic New England theater (mere feet away from the great Keene State College), and you're right there, witnessing a classic performance from a band destined to become legendary.

If you like Phish, or are even just curious about what all the fuss was about, get this. It's classic. .


Live 19-Great Show
The horns just make everything funky and cooler. Phish live 19 in my opinion is one of the best releases of the series and in completely underrated.

First Disc- Great Bouncing Room, Reba, Bowie, Golgi, Coil, and the best Ac/dc Bag ever made.

Second Disc- Highlights of Tweezer, Gumbo, Mike's Song>Hydrogen)Groove, Touch Me, Suzy, Frank, and Tweezer Reprise.


excellent vintage performance
This show is as sick as I remember it being. I was at this show & several others that featured the giant country horns that summer. I think the horns rock. .


Phish + Horns = Not For Me
I want to emphasize that other Phish phans may (and do, as some reviews here show) feel differently. The "Live Phish" series contains many excellent editions, but 19 is not one of them, for me personally.

"Live Phish 19" (2CDs, 28 tracks, 148 min. ) is from a 1991 show in New Hampshire. CD1 (79 min. ) starts off in a jazz-like club atmosphere, with a lot of short tracks, and the horns up front. Concert staples "AC/DC Bag" and "David Bowie" show a lot of energy, but sound very differently than one might expect with the horns. CD2 (69 min. ) is much better, with an excellent Gumbo>Mike's Song>I Am Hydrogen>Weekabaug Groove, the latter with a blazing Trey guitar solo, the highlight of this concert. The Doors cover "Touch Me" works quite well too, no wonder since the original song also featured horns. . .

In all, this is not a bad live set (is there such a thing with Phish?), but it's not my favorite. Check out instead for example Live 15 or Live 20, much better to my liking.
