4/11/91 Carleton College, Northfield, MN (Rvwd 5/95) I could have been there for this fun show... but Carleton was not to be... Prison Joke, Destiny Unbound, etc. The Split has some groovy stuff in it, taboot. Same old Mike's Song, though, folks. Plods along. Page does more mimicking of Mike's main theme, however, which makes it interesting. Trey does the typical off-key sustained, distorted stuff during this MikeS, but nothing else of special merit. He doesn't stray into strong fillers, as he has been known to do. Very plain. And short. Ends at around 5:45, at which point H2 kicks in, and what a H2 it is! This beginning of H2 is spectacular, with Trey and Page screwin' around a little in the beginning before heading into the theme, in a fashion that I haven't heard them do since. They play triplets on their instruments for about twenty seconds or so before heading into the main H2 theme. ANyway, for this reason alone this H2 is special and more interesting than usual. Week kicks in at about 8:23 and seems a bit faster than it is ordinarily. Mike's beginning solo is really, really funky and strange, in comparison with all the others I've reviewed to date. It is NOT quick and snappy; rather, he gets into a steady, funky sorta lick that goes downscale more than upscale. Trey is spectacular as usual on this Weekapaug, but nothing jaw-dropping Fucking Amazing occurs (for Phish). C rating. Really dug the H2 in this 'Groove! Ends at 13:51 total time, so not that long..
