Phish.net is a non-commercial project run by and for Phish fans under the auspices of the all-volunteer, non-profit Mockingbird Foundation. This project serves to compile, preserve, and protect encyclopedic information about Phish and their music. But we need your help!
This new beta site represents a huge advance over the circa-1994 site that www.phish.net has been for almost 16 years. The back-end is tremendous. But the UI needs mad skillz that we don't have. Please contact us if you can help!

Paradiso, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Set 1: Ghost[1], Horn, Ya Mar[1], Limb By Limb > Ain't Love Funny, Saw It Again[1], Dirt, Reba[2], Dogs Stole Things
Set 2: Jam[3] -> Timber (Jerry), Bathtub Gin -> Cities -> Jam[4], Loving Cup > Slave to the Traffic Light
Encore: When the Circus Comes
[1] "Worm" banter.
[2] Whistling ending.
[3] The second set began with a Fishman piano solo that evolved into a jam, as the rest of the band eventually joined the stage and Fishman moved to his drum kit.
[4] "Worm" banter. When the Saints Go Marching In and Santa Claus is Coming to Town teases from Trey.
Notes: Ghost began the first of two nights of the infamous "Worm" banter, with Fishman saying "I think you know where you are" and Trey responding with "You're on the back of the worm!" The "Worm" was also mentioned in Ya Mar, Saw It Again, and the jam out of Cities, which also included When the Saints Go Marching In and Santa Claus is Coming to Town teases by Trey. Dirt was introduced as "Green Grass High Tides Forever." Reba included the whistling ending. The second set began with a Fishman piano solo that evolved into a jam, as the rest of the band eventually joined the stage and Fishman moved to his drum kit.
This show was part of the "1997 Summer European Tour."

The second set is justly praised for its 40-minute Gin > Cities > Jam(s) and startling Timber opener, which are as good as their reputation, but the first set shouldn't be overlooked. The new tunes make a strong showing, and the audience pays rapt attention: Ghost gets an early workout (though the explosion came two days later), you can hear a pin drop during the delicate transition from Limb to Ain't Love Funny, and the rest of the set is just top-drawer small-venue Phish, all detailed miniatures and pregnant pauses. The 'When the Circus Comes' encore would be a weirdly dispiriting choice at a stateside show, but it's perfect here - which, if you know the song, should give you a decent idea of the show's vibe. The two Amsterdam shows really stand alone in the middle of a generative Europe tour; the Paradiso brings something out of Phish which (luckily) translates to tape, and 7/1 and 7/2 are the deep dark must-hear shows of early summer '97.
