1998

From Wikipaug.net

Change is the rule not the exception Phish continued to ride the funk-canic waves in Spring and Summer that spilled over from '97 while evolving its long love affair for ambient spaces in the Fall. The result was some of the tightest, most refined improvisation that band had yet produced.

High 5 4/3: Strong show, start to finish 7/2: Must hear 2nd set 8/15: Solid show w/ Ambient 4th. set 11/2: Legendary 12/28: Great Melt, exploratory set 2 Underdogs 6/30: Welcome to the Haight-Ashbury of Denmark! 7/19: Greatest hits funk w/ brief ambient spaces 8/6: Space funked Wolfman's, Van Halen cover and teases 11/7: Experimental Bag 11/29: Exploratory set 2

Week4paug's Grooves "Organic" jam grown out of the 6/24 Tweezer 7/15 DWD –> WMGGW is simply sublime Expectionally groovy Split Open and Melt on 6/25 10/1's Piper –> Guy Forget is a killer jam Tasty Theme –> Dog Log on 9/17 Organic groove in the extended Cities from 9/24 Bluegrass madness during the 6/22 Hood Top notch Ghost in NYC melted faces on 5/22 9/14's Drowned recalls the frenetic days of 1994 Groovalicious Halley's > Fee on 9/23
