The recording for this show is decent. It almost sounds like a SBD but may be a decent audience recording. There are some cassette generations in it’s lineage but the music still comes through clear. Luckily there’s no pitch issues which has been an issue the last few shows preceding this one.

The recording cuts out midway through Set 2. It sounds like there may have been a guest appearance later in the show. Trey jokes about it being Bruce Springsteen, but there’s a good chance this was John Popper’s first time collaborating on stage with the band. Btw this was also Phish’s first time playing the Wetlands Preserve as it had just opened 2 weeks prior to this show. It’s unclear if the band played 3 sets on this night.

Highlights: Antelope

At the time of this review, this is one of the highest rated shows from 1989 (in terms of stars), and I don't really understand why. I'm not going to say that the performance or tape quality is bad, because neither is true. It just sounds like an incredibly standard 1989 performance to me.

It's not all "bad" news, though; the IDK is (strangely) pretty groovy and funny. The Antelope is probably the highlight of the show, as it gets incredibly dissonant before the peak for people who like stuff like that.

IMO, this show isn't worth your time, but at least check out the Antelope.

2.5 stars.

Just wanted to mention the obvious Flinstones tease in Take the A Train. Surprised it wasn't mentioned.
