Stash contained DEG teases from Trey. During Ya Mar, Trey thanked the audience, saluted a Colorado swimmer who won two gold medals at the Olympics, and announced that a special guest would come out later in the set. The last three songs of the first set were all Phish debuts with Ninety-Nine Years featuring Tim O’Brien on mandolin and lead vocals and Hold To A Dream and Doin' My Tume on bouzouki and lead vocals. This show also marked the Phish debut of Gypsy Queen. During the Mockingbird narration, Trey told of a giant iguana that would take the crowd to Mars to view the life there.

Review by DaReba

DaReba What a run for these guys the last few weeks . They've been on many emotional highs from opening from santana headlining big Europe shows coming home to 4 sold out night at the legendary Red Rocks!!

This Stash is a great release for the boys after a laid back/sloppy PYITE opener , which is always welcomed, in my book.
Awesome stash. Great Type II jam here

Nice YA MAr. shout outs are always nice.
Gumbo is just a great song always.
An early Taste that really make you appreciate where song has gone since. Its tihg nonetheless but Trey is content to be rhythm guitar hero and use the song s a page fish vehicle
PAge nails the LAwn Boy
Nice acoustic set . Tim Obrien holds it down

Runaway Jim Sen Set opener gets Type II also. Splendid!! I lke to describe it as a metal box of music falloing down a flight if stairs. tre brings it back to the them for about 30 seconds and Mike says no let's leav this all together. He pulls the band off on brilliant tangent Gypsy Queen
Trey then gets on top of everthing and things get reaaaally fun.Then Page takes over while Trey gets on his kit. The end is also very interesting to listen to. It's like they don't want to end the song.

To say this Possum!!! is hot is a vast understatement. Lots of energy .Trey actually bugs out on this one for a while lucky for us, in some eerie , Guitar Hero , Me and My Axe type stuff. This is what yyou pay the money to see and hear. This is a 12 minute Possum that is filthy from the guitar stand point. Best Jam of the $-Night Stand candidate. To show you how amazing this is I am not even going to review the Y.E.M.

ADAWGWYO This Runaway Jim->Gypsy Queen->Jim is definately worth a listen. So are the first set bluegrass songs with Tim O'Brian.

markah I took my friend Ashley to this show - she was living in Boulder at the time. She liked Phish, but was a HUGE country fan. When Tim O'Brien came out she lost her shit! Everyone else around us was like...who is that guy?! I enjoyed hearing the three tunes he played with them, but definitely did not fully appreciate the magnitude of this guest at the time.

spreaditround SET 1: Punch You in the Eye: Standard. >

Sparkle: Standard. >

Stash: For my money, it seems that it is Page that guides this into a major key jam for about a minute and a half. It doesn’t go all 3.0 bliss jam or anything (thank goodness), but it does have an upbeat sort of element to it. Trey holds most of that back. Pretty cool. Would relisten and recommend.

Ya Mar: Some fun banter from Trey RE: the iguana. But wouldn’t care to seek this one out personally.

Gumbo: Standard.

Taste: Standard.

Lawn Boy: Standard.

Ninety-Nine Years (and One Dark Day), Hold to a Dream, Doin' My Time: Good stuff here, nice collaboration. Wonder how many fans at the time would of know who Tim was? I would not have.

SET 2: Runaway Jim -> Gypsy Queen[3] -> Runaway Jim: Outstanding! They Gypsy Queen segment comes early on in the jam, at 8:30. When it hits, it’s fantastic. Treys trills at 9:17 are top notch! Approximately, one minute later they are easing back into normal RJ territory with a Page led jam and Trey (I assume) on his mini drum kit. This doesn’t go on for too long and they eventually find themselves in a typical wrap up. Awesome! >

Free: Standard.

Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird: Cool narration, but Mockingbird is quite sloppy >

Possum: Has a section that dives down deep into some minor key, sinister style of playing – this goes on for over three minutes. Great way to build up the tension. Good release, not great. It’s definitely cool and noteworthy. Would recommend for that reason alone.

Life on Mars? – Standard. Pages vocals are strained in a couple spots.

You Enjoy Myself: Solid YEM! Mike has that liquid sounding effect early on. Trey is fairly patient with the jam and eventually gets to ripping it properly. Wouldn’t necessarily seek this one out but wouldn’t kick it out of bed for eating crackers either.

Hello My Baby: Standard.

ENCORE: Bouncing Around the Room – Standard.

Golgi Apparatus: Standard.

Summary: Good solid show for sure. The real centerpiece is the Runaway Jim – Gypsy Queen jam – an all-timer in my eyes. A workmanlike show if you will. Feel that Phish.net’s rating of 3.877/5 (73 ratings) is a solid representation of what this show holds for the listener.

Replay Value: Stash, Runaway Jim, Gypsy Queen, Runaway Jim, Possum
