I personally love it when phish devotes the entire second set to a really firey heaven and hell jamfest, but theres so many good ones. Currently i'm divided between the bowie on live phish vol 20 and the IT fest ghost... but what are your guys favorites?

Just because I was there my favorites are...

1. the You Enjoy Myself > Brick House > You Enjoy Myself from 11-18-95 North Charleston Coliseum, North Charleston, SC

2. the Runaway Jim from 06-16-95 Walnut Creek Amphitheatre, Raleigh, NC that last around 45min

3. the Tweezer-> Johnny B. Goode > Tweezer 06-17-95 Nissan Pavillion at Stone Ridge, Gainseville, VA. That was the fist Johnny B. Goode was ever played

Maybe not quite epic in length (~15 min each), but for hellish, twisted phish jamming, I dig the Bowie and the Split Open and Melt from Clifford ball day 1. I've been addicted to the clifford ball lately... oh so good!

Right on dude! You lucky bastard! Both days of the clifford ball are simply fantastic. That must have been quite the good time. Ahh, to have been old enough, I was born a bit too late.

I'm gonna add another to the epic list...Ghost off of Live Phish Vol. 11, 11/17/97, Denver,CO. It's one of those jams on a slow smoldering burn, slowly building, and building, and building into infinity. Definitely one of favorites.

The only festivals that I missed were Clifford Ball (just couldn't make it, also not totally into them at this point - still neck deep into the Dead and nothing else) and Big Cypress ($ and time issues).

- Great Went: my first shows. awesome.
- Lemonwheel: best festival ever. Two words: Gel tabs. Two more words: uhhh......uhhhh.......
- Oswego: hotter than a tit in hellfire lava-in-the-oven. But a fun show. Really fun.
- IT: fun, but not as well done as the Went or Wheel. They should've left things alone and not tried to change things up. Didn't like the stage set-up at all, and the music wasn't as masterful as previous years. GREAT Bowie from here though.
Coventry: So much has been written about how awful it was, and it's all true. I had a good time, but what a pain in the ass and the music hurt to listen to at points. But the Velvet Sea was quite epic, and brought tears to everyone I saw.

I just realized this has nothing to do with the topic, so I'm gonna bow out and try to think of my favorite epic. I'll be back.

(on a side note, maybe I'll start a \"Festivals\" thread......

i've been lookin for 11 for a while now, i'm gonna have to pay amazon.jerk all that shipping money cause noone has it. i wish the live phish series was available on livephish.com

Vol. 11 is sweet!! The first set is super smooth jammy, ...seriously its only like a 4 song set, ~15-20 minutes each for tweezer, reba , ghost. The second set has a sweet jam entitled \"denver jam\" and then follows with an awesome jesus left chicago, and a good yem. The first disc is my favorite though. It's 60 minutes of pure groove.

Mike's Song from NYE 95 really tickles my salami in all the right ways.

But I have to aggree with the Live Phish Vol. 11. one of the best shows available on Live Phish, the Tweezer and Ghost are out of this world, and the YEM on disc 3 is about as funky as you can get on this planet
