9-17-2000 Columbia, Maryland

Fall 2000 delivered the goods more often than not as Phish punctuated the end of the 1.0 era with several great shows, many of which fly under the radar. My favorite gig, 9-17-2000 at MPP, offers a hearty serving of classics in Set 1, and some stretched out, unique jams across Set 2. I include clips from Bathtub Gin, The Curtain With, Rock and Roll, a sublime segue from Theme From the Bottom into Dog Log, Mango Song, and Free in this episode. Listen to the full show at phish.in and read the set list and reviews at Phish.net.

As promised in the podcast, here are the eleven data points to back up my "Mango Song equals a great late 1.0 show" theory: 8-16-98 (Lemonwheel), 11-2-98 (Dark Side of the Moon), 11-21-98 (Hampton Comes Alive), 7-24-99 (a top five Summer '99 show), 12-16-99 (Live Phish release), 5-22-00 (Radio City Ghost), 6-9-00 (epic Tweezer), 6-30-00 (part of a huge six show stretch in Summer 2000), 7-15-2000 (a monster S2 wraps Summer 2000), 9-17-00 (the best Fall 2000 show), and 9-27-00 (under-the-radar show with a superb S2).
