Phish (on the back of the Worm!) at Club Paradiso in Amsterdam, 7-1-97

On this recording you will hear music bouncing off the walls of this old and ornate church in Amsterdam, The Netherlands during Set II of a musically wild show. Only 1,000 phans were able to enjoy this one, and it's dense with cool intensity and jammed-out grooves. Timber Ho is upbeat and entertaining. The Bathtub Gin turns to liquid sound seeping through wide-open spaces. From there, all roads lead to a very dance-able Cities...at least for a while. At 20+ minutes, it's one of the longer Cities on record and, like most of this show, it gets quite a bit noodle-y and occasionally bewildering (in the most fun way...) To soothe the soul, the hour finishes with a joyful Slave followed by a quiet and elegant Horn (from back in set 1, but I couldn't resist...). Here is the setlist for the entire show : Set 1: Ghost, Horn, Ya Mar, Limb By Limb -> Ain't Love Funny, Saw It Again, Dirt, Reba, Dogs Stole Things Set 2: Jam -> Timber Ho > Bathtub Gin -> Cities, Loving Cup > Slave to the Traffic Light Encore: When the Circus Comes
