Phish 1994: 20 Years Later 04/25/1994 Knoxville, TN

Knoxville is a really uneventful show especially by the standards of this year.  It's actually a nice mellow listen, but no real transcendent jams or unique segments in the show.  Many many fun songs though make the spin totally worthwhile.

Notably, Foam, Down with Disease and Split Open and Melt are all really fantastic.  Highly patient Foam and Split, both delivering the goods in a nut shell.  It's also really fun to listen to the progress of Down with Disease, albeit slow, the tune begins to show some real potential.

Jamming at a minimum in this second set.  Love the Layla teases in another fantastic Antelope, but otherwise nothing else really memorable.  Perhaps looking forward to a couple days off on the way down to Florida?

Bob Brown's spring tour continues providing us the only audience recording of this show.  This might have something to do with the cassette gen boards that have mostly always been available.
