Encore: AC/DC Bag
Show Notes: Lizards was aborted midway through the second verse; Trey had forgotten the words during the first verse and mumbled his way through until finally calling the song off. Humorously, Destiny Unbound was jokingly announced as "Lizards." Sloth was played in response to an audience request. The Vocal Jam out of YEM closed with a quote of the Warner Brothers cartoon theme ("On with the Show, This Is It").

Encore: Caravan, Big Black Furry Creature from Mars
Encore: Contact, Golgi Apparatus
Show Notes: Bowie contained an El Condor Paso tease in Fishman's high hat intro, and had a silent jam near the end of the jam segment. Bag was also unusually adventurous, with three dead stops during the jam segment and uncommon dissonance. Trey briefly started Horn before Harry Hood, but abandoned it. Before Terrapin, Trey announced that Fishman would be "bringing out the big, heavy artillery" for the people in Keene. The "artillery" was Fishman's new vacuum, which made its debut at this show. Fish noted that "if I bleed during this song, that'll just be part of the effects." Inspired by his new instrument, Fish took an exceedingly spacy solo during Terrapin, complete with ersatz wolf howls, before singing the final verse through the vacuum.

Saturday, February 16, 1991
The Marquee, New York, NY
Set I: The Sloth, My Sweet One, Divided Sky, Cavern, Take the 'A' Train, The Landlady > Bouncing Around the Room, Llama, The Mango Song, Mike's Song > I Am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove
Set II: Chalk Dust Torture, Reba, Buried Alive, Runaway Jim, Guelah Papyrus, Fluffhead, Rocky Top, Love You, Golgi Apparatus
Encore: Lawn Boy, Fire

Encore: Magilla, Fire
Show Notes: This show, performed on Fishman's birthday, had many classic moments, including Happy Birthday teases before Coil and during Bowie. Bowie also included an older signal, cued by the "Charlie Chan" lick, where the band all stopped on a dime. The Whole Lotta Love jam segued out of the vacuum solo in Love You and is worth hearing.

Set II: Suzy Greenberg, Buried Alive > Cavern, The Squirming Coil, David Bowie, Lawn Boy, The Oh Kee Pa Ceremony > The Sloth, Love You, Possum, Rocky Top
Encore: Contact
Show Notes: During I Didn't Know, Trey commented that this was Phish's first show in Tennessee, and dedicated Fish's vacuum solo to Dr. Jack McConnell and other friends in the audience. After Cavern, Trey mentioned that James Brown got out on parole, which caused Fish to comment that a cease-fire was also called that day in Iraq. "Don't tell me this wasn't planned," he insisted. The Bowie was long and pretty spectacular. Lawn Boy featured a Trey guitar solo. Rocky Top was a seemingly obvious choice as closer for the first Volunteer State show.

Set I: The Landlady, Bouncing Around the Room, Foam, Esther, Mike's Song > I Am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove, Cavern, The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday > Avenu Malkenu > The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday Reprise, My Sweet One, Golgi Apparatus
Set II: The Squirming Coil, Reba, Llama, Guelah Papyrus, Divided Sky, HYHU > Love You > HYHU, The Lizards
Encore: You Enjoy Myself
Show Notes: There was a power outage during Golgi, after which Trey mocked Fishman's "memorable drum solo." During the latter HYHU, Fishman introduced the band and humorously pointed out Chris Kuroda for causing the earlier power failure. YEM included a Wilson tease and a thank-you from Trey.

Set II: Runaway Jim, Esther > My Sweet One, The Squirming Coil, Tweezer, Fee, Slave to the Traffic Light, Chalk Dust Torture
Encore: Lawn Boy, La Grange
Show Notes: Bowie included Sparks and Landlady teases. Foam (introduced as one of Fishman's favorite songs) was preceded by a HYHU tease while Fishman fixed his cymbal. Uncle Pen was introduced as a band favorite and dedicated to a fan in the crowd. Trey repeated the first line of Esther several times, as if he had forgotten the rest of the lyrics. Slave was played for Mike from "the Telluride contingency" and was preceded by Trey's story about the '88 Colorado tour. After Slave, Fishman came front and center to the tune of HYHU to tell his infamous "bear story." Afterwards, Trey referenced the July 30, 1988, Telluride show, where Fishman was late. Chalk Dust included Manteca teases. Slave was played for the first time since April 22, 1990 (81 shows).

Encore: Magilla, Golgi Apparatus
Show Notes: This show includes a great version of Antelope for this time period. Before Terrapin, Fishman was introduced as "the late Henrietta," and then commented that he is no longer Henrietta, but has not yet thought of a new name. He and Trey introduced Chris Kuroda (as "Cooter," with a "Charge!" tease) and Colorado fan "Erik the Viking." Terrapin included a very brief Whole Lotta Love jam.

Show Notes: Reba contained a brief, subtle tease of the "I Love Lucy" theme. After Lizards, Trey congratulated the audience ("A lot of people have tried, but you're the first to have done it!") for clapping on the beat during the slow end solo. Before Fee, he repeated the compliment: "I hope you didn't think I was making fun of you ... clapping on the upbeat --wow!" This venue became the Roseland Theater soon after; Phish was possibly the last band to play this venue while it was still called 'Starry Night.'

Encore: HYHU > If I Only Had a Brain, Good Times Bad Times
Show Notes: Magilla featured Paul Guinness of Ryth McFeud on trombone.

Brain was performed as a "special treat" for the audience. Fish sang the final verse through the vacuum, creating an excellent echo effect.

Show Notes: Before Runaway Jim, Trey referenced the ARU and the string of shows that the two bands were, at the time, playing together. Subsequently, Bowie included teases of the ARU song Yield Not to Temptation. It is unclear whether BBFCFM was the end of the second set or the encore, or if BBFCFM closed the show and another song served as the encore. Tapes that circulate under this date with a different list are mislabeled copies of November 2, 1989.

"It used to be 'La Bamba,'" he noted, prompting Page to play the La Bamba riff. After the song, an unamused Fish complained that "they just do it out of HATE." Brother was dedicated to "the guy who offered us $10,000 to play a different song," according to Trey. Adeline was sung from the balcony to open the encore.

There was a Secret Language Jam in the Bowie intro, with Oom Pa Pa, Simpsons, and Random Laugh Signals. The disco-inflected Bowie was extremely groovy, with an on-the-fly full-band slowdown and maniacal screaming from Trey and Mike during the end segment. After Bowie, Trey introduced "Fern," who read poetry during the setbreak. Fishman was introduced as "Showboat Gertrude" before Terrapin; he explained that the name is derived from that of the Indian singer Shoba Gertu. Tube was played for the first time since November 16, 1990 (100 shows) and Slave was played for the first time since March 17, 1991 (67 shows).

First prize - free admission to all Phish shows for one year - was shared by The Bergen County Woman Cop and Captain Bonghit. During the final Wait, before Bowie, the audience was chanting "Fuck you!" in response! Bowie contained an on-the-fly Oom Pa Pa Signal during the jam.

The HYHU preceding Terrapin featured Trey and Page singing "Henrietta" vocals. My Sweet One was first sung as a gospel tune, without drums and with Fishman singing lead, and then done again normally.

After Eliza, Trey commented that he wrote the song for his girlfriend (now wife) Susan Eliza, who was in the audience. Dave "the Truth" Grippo guested on alto saxophone during the encore.
