LP8 is the only two-disc show of the second batch. Packaging: More of the same. This release has pictures of each band member. Trey looks really old. Sound: This is more of a Matrix recording than LP7. You can hear the crowd pretty clearly, but not so much that it's annoying. There's no noticible vocal or instrumental echo (at least as far as I can tell). This show really sounds great. All the instruments sound clear and are mixed well (except Page's piano, which seems just a tad too quiet). The vocals are a little low in the mix, but it's not too bad. It's not noticable in the slower, quieter songs. Music: The real highlight of set one is the Chalk Dust Torture > Roggae. Not that Roggae is the greatest song, but it's a really nice transition. Chalk Dust gets really interesting around the 9:00 mark. Kind of spacey and textural -- but with a lot of energy. A very unique jam. It glides easily into Roggae. This set also features the slow blusy tune, Back At The Chicken Shack. It just doesn't do anything for me. It's just a little too long for my tastes since it doesn't really go anywhere. The Bathtub Gin is pretty standard. It's a good 16 min, so there's some good jamming in there. There's a directional change at 11:00 that reminds me of the 6/14/2000 Fukuoka (Japan) Jam, but it quickly picks up a darker and more energetic tone. The jam eventually fades out to end the song. Set two is pretty great. It opens with a phenominal Tweezer. Very slow jam in the middle. Nice and long. Put the headphones on for this one and turn it up. One of my favorite Phish jams to date. It eventually segues into Mountains in the Mist -- which is a song with which I'm not too familiar. Birds of a Feather basically has the same jam as the Chalkdust, but that's cool by me. Fluffhead ends the set in typical high-energy fashion. Good stuff.
