One of the all-time most cherished and unusual Phish shows
I've had an audience version of 2/20/93 as a cherished part of my tape collection since the mid 90s. The Pharmer's Almanac rated it as Phan Pick #3 and I couldn't agree more. Since 2/20/93 (Saturday night) has long been one of those mystical and exalted sparklers, it's a good place for a review to begin. The second set especially spectacular in an unusual way. Many of the band's songs reference other Phish songs. In addition to 'Mike's Song' featuring a 'Tweezer' bass line, it contains a nod to 'Fluffhead.' It is one of those epic shows that boasts a 'Tweezer' that lasts the duration of the set. Except instead of a straight up 'Tweezer,' it became a monster jam that segued in and out of mini-versions of 'My Mind's Got A Mind Of Its Own,' 'Vibration Of Life,' 'Have Mercy' and many others. The most memorable tune of the thread occurred when Gene Simmons impersonator Jay Von Lehe came out to sing a minute long version of the KISS song 'Rock And Roll All Night.' While the second night is the blockbuster that easily could have been a Live Phish release by itself, the previous and following nights are also a blast. The Friday night show features one of those 'David Bowie's' that played 'Moby Dick' bookends. It was Jon Fishman's birthday and unbeknownst to listeners is that he is at one point presented with a Public Enemy style clock. Jimmy Herring (Aquarium Rescue Unit, Phil and Phriends, etc.) plays for a few tunes, but his musical impact is minimal. The first night is a wonderful show that tends to get overshadowed by the next evening's blockbuster. The last two discs of "At the Roxy" feature the Sunday night performance. The last night is wonderful by most standards, but a typical show for the period. The oddity for the evening was the inclusion of local boy Jeff Mosier (Aquarium Rescue Unit, Blueground Undergrass). Joining the band for the debut of 'Pig in a Pen,' he plays banjo on a few tunes. The weekend gave a final nod to Zeppelin with a memorable bluegrass infused rendition of 'Good Times Bad Times.' It seems that the band connected with Mosier, because he toured with Phish the following year and became the band's Bluegrass mentor. On all eight discs, the sound quality is superb. Those who ordered "At the Roxy" from the Phish web page also received a bonus disc of the previous year's performance from Atlanta's Variety Playhouse. As memory serves me, it's the only official release that features an explanation of the secret language. While short, 3/28/92 is a good show that is now marketed as the Roxy prequel. As the story goes, the band couldn't do a full second set since the club was flooded. Before packing up, Phish promised to return to Atlanta with something special. Indeed, the following year's string of Roxy shows proved to be an epic and cherished chapter of Phishlore. Get "At the Roxy" and enjoy a beloved piece of Phishistory.
