PHISH, TUESDAY 07/11/2000
DEER CREEK MUSIC CENTER
Noblesville, IN
SET 1:

Ya Mar: Great jam to open this one up! It’s nothing to out there or anything but they definitely fire up the 4 headed beast here. Trey and Fish, especially shine.

The Moma Dance: Standard.

Uncle Pen: Standard.

Drowned: The last few minutes of this one is what set’s it apart from basically any version – totally bouncy and upbeat. Great theme that they set in place and run with it. If you can’t dance to this one then I am not sure what to tell you. Would recommend!

Chalk Dust Torture Reprise: Woah, totally out of left field. It took me a beat or two but then I realized where I had heard this before. I used to listen to 12.10.94 a lot. That is where I had heard this before. What a riot this was! Would recommend for the unique aspect of it all. >

Chalk Dust Torture: Standard.

Theme From the Bottom: Standard. >

Cavern: Standard.

SET 2:

Also Sprach Zarathustra: Great way to open up the second set! This was a lot of fun. >

Down with Disease: -> Moby Dick > Down with Disease: They teased MD in Cavern at Hartford, so this wasn’t totally out of left field. Very fun and entertaining sequence here. >

Runaway Jim -> Moby Dick: Standard Jim but when they busted back into MD it was becoming apparent that the band was thoroughly enjoying themselves this evening.

Back on the Train -> Moby Dick > Back on the Train: Standard BOTT .

Harry Hood > Moby Dick: Standard Hood.

Hold Your Head Up > Terrapin > Hold Your Head Up > Moby Dick[1] > Hold Your Head Up: Fishman hamming it up and Deer Creek ate it up.

Character Zero: Standard.

ENCORE:

First Tube > Moby Dick > Chalk Dust Torture Reprise: First Tube is normal, MD of course and then the hilarious banter in CDTR.

Summary: This show was a lot of fun to attend. Walking out of this one was a hoot over hearing all the lively conversation and recounting of what just transpired. The rating currently I guess I understand why it is so high because of the unique aspect of this one. Outside of that though and the Ya Mar, there isn’t anything else I ever need to revisit. Would rate as a 4/5.

Replay Value: Ya Mar

[1] Trey on drums and Fish on vacuum.

In keeping with the theme of the second set, Hood included a Moby Dick tease. Trey introduced Fish as “Russell Crowe” during Terrapin. The Moby Dick inside of the HYHU jam featured Trey on drums and Fish on vacuum. The Chalk Dust Reprise was akin to the version last played on December 10, 1994 (393 shows), with the band singing the words “Chalk Dust Torture” over varied music. At the end of the encore, Trey joked that, if anyone missed anything, they should read the book or see the movie. Trey also teased Moby Dick at the end of the encore's Chalk Dust Reprise. Prior to this show, Moby Dick had not been played since November 29, 1997 (174 shows).
