We always want to listen to the best shows, and usually it is the best shows that are rated most often by users. But once in a very great while, an excellent show slips through the cracks and goes unheard. Maybe the source recording is poor, or new to circulation, or incomplete. This AUD source for 11/24/91 Dartmouth has several dropouts and is also missing the encores, but IMO the two sets that are available are stellar, and deserve to be heard by more fans (possibly as a remastered SBD archival release).

This show is another example of the band developing their fanbase on college campuses, and the band manages to get a tight sound in a boomy recital hall. @dscott's show review covers most of the highlights, but listen to the band completely nail the new composition It's Ice, continuing to stretch out the jam, as well as the recently-resurrected Tube. Fishman shows some fortitude by playing through the pain of a splinter in his hand, as well as playing his trombone without a mouthpiece during I Didn't Know - ouch! And Tour Manager Andrew Fishbeck, Monitor Engineer Pete Schaal, Lighting Director Chris Kuroda, and FOH Engineer Paul Languedoc are worthy of mention, all four of whom were literally working around-the-clock to make each show on this tour happen.

And this YEM - wow! I hear Trey teasing a melody that almost sounds like the "waiting so long" section of Two Tickets To Paradise by Eddie Money, before the jam dies down and then builds up a groove that is very reminiscent of the dance party/2nd jam of the esteemed 7/29/98 Riverport Gin!

Because Phish was a regional phenomenon working toward nationwide recognition during this time, they played shows to a wide variety of audiences; some were rowdy (12/6/91 Middlesbury), others indifferent. The band always took note of the audience response they received, and tailored their show accordingly. At the very end of this tape, Trey thanks the audience for being attentive, implying what kind of audience the band preferred.
