Review by thumpasaurus

thumpasaurus As the reviewer from the 2/17 Paradiso show alluded, this show prooved to exemplify a new found freedom in their musically repetoire. Both in song selection (ie. bust out central-camel walk, dog log, magilla) and their improvisional prowess (ie. ha, ha outro, yem and scent). Heard this tape during fall of '97 and despite all the aforementioned greatness of this show, the most intriguing element was the ha, ha outro. Phish.net calls it heavy metal outro but upon rememberance of my friend's old school tapes, my belief is that this jam is a revival of the jam within the early section of reba that they had played only during the first performances of the song. Find The Front show from 10-22-89. Listen for the heavy metallike jam after the "bag it tag it" section during reba (begins at 2:35 or so) and give a relisten to the ha, ha outro from this show. For the sake of posterity and to further illustrate how important Europe "97 was to the development of the band, I feel that this is a correction that needs to be duly noted. Since no one has cared to make note of this after all these years, I feel that its about time.
