This remains not only an important musical point for my favorite band, but one of those few moments a <a href="/title/musical+orgasm">musical orgasm</a> has been so powerful as for me to pull over the car and <a href="/title/weep">weep</a>. I know rock hero worship may sound childish, even antiquated, yet I pray I remain as interested in this music as I am now. I know, I know, enough of these personal notes.</p>
<p>Trey Anastasio has repeatedly stated that he had requested tape of this show very soon after the fact, and repeatedly played the show in its complete form throughout the end of the Fall '97 tour. It well defines the <a href="/title/funk">funk</a> and <a href="/title/loose+improvisations">loose improvisations</a> of the period.</p>
<p>A <a href="/title/Tweezer">Tweezer</a>, perhaps Phish's finest <a href="/title/jam+vehicle">jam vehicle</a> opens the show, signaling an event. The <a href="/title/Ghost">Ghost</a> is an epic 21:24 minutes in length comprising one of the finest Phish jams I have ever heard. </p>

He once describe the song as the <a href="/title/bouncing+joy">bouncing joy</a> that he felt when he saw his daughter, Jessica, take her first few steps. It almost makes a <a href="/title/southerner">southerner</a> like me <a href="/title/weep">weep</a> everytime I hear it.

Guster contains: two guitars, of which both are usually <a href="/title/acoustic">acoustic</a>, and a drummer who plays all his drums, including the <a href="/title/conga">conga</a>s, with his hands.
