mcgrupp81 If you haven't listened to the 4/4/94 show ever, do yourself a favor and go listen. The 1st set is very well played. The Divided Sky is quite decent. The Maze rages. The Reba, along with the "A Hunting We Will Go" tease is one of my favorites. The It's Ice is without exaggeration, one of the best versions they have ever played. It's got freakin' hose in it! The 2nd set with the horns is also well done. Horns don't steal the show here, they enhance it, which is how I at least like it. The If I Could from the show is a genuine feel good song. First time they played it and the buildup and jamming by Trey are on point. It was funny because I was so enamored with that jam, I went to the Phish.net reviews to see if anyone had mentioned it and one guy essentially said that it was his go-to-jam when it came to trying to turn people on to Phish for the first time. I think that says something. A solid Hood encore puts the cherry on top. Adding to all the musical quality is the sound quality of the recording. I don't know of others circulating out there, but the "Spreadsheet" version is the same one I originally had on disc and it's got this real warm feel to it. It's just a special show to start a year that could be argued to be the most important developmental year in Phish's career. Did I mention the show comes with unlimited free car washes and an air freshener!
