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!
Friday, 10/30/1998
Thomas & Mack Center, Las Vegas, NV
Soundcheck: Dog Log
Set 1: Wilson, Meat > Scent of a Mule > Back at the Chicken Shack[1] > Scent of a Mule, Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress, Run Like an Antelope, Guelah Papyrus, The Lizards, Cavern
Set 2: Stash -> Manteca -> Tweezer[2] -> NICU > Jam > Prince Caspian > Golgi Apparatus
[1] Phish debut.
[2] Manteca and You Better Believe It Baby teases.
Notes: This show included the Phish debut of Back at the Chicken Shack, the first Long Cool Woman since the first Phish show, December 2, 1983 (1,204 shows), and the first Manteca since November 14, 1995 (218 shows). Before Long Cool Woman, Trey remarked that “they tell us that this is the exact day” of the band’s fifteenth anniversary, though later research revealed this to be incorrect. Fishman teased a return to Long Cool Woman before Antelope but quickly aborted. Tweezer subsequently included Manteca and You Better Believe It Baby teases. The entire second set and encore, as well as Antelope, was included as filler on Live Phish 16.
This show was part of the "1998 Fall Tour."

The first set is fine and fun and light and so forth, but the big money is on Set II, which is nearly enough to justify a Live Phish 16 download all on its own. Nothing here is as *essential* as the third set of Halloween '98, but if you're up on your Phish history you'll recognize that Stash > Manteca pairing as an echo of the classic 11/14/95 show. The Tweezer > NICU transition is flawless, though you kinda have to admit Tweezer had a little pro forma feel by late 1998. The post-NICU ambient interlude emerges from the final chord, not the song's ska-via-the-cow-pasture rhythm, but it's still a lovely preview of the Wolfman's Bro from the next night. And after a very patient and welcome full-band buildup, an upbeat Prince Caspian delivers needed catharsis. A very strong, old-fashioned-and-new-fangled set in Vegas.
