Before they went swimming with the fishes, Phish took
one last stroll around the park—Keyspan Park at Coney Island
in Brooklyn, NY to be exact. This DVD performance from 2004
features the band performing two complete sets from the
series of shows they performed. The track listing is as
follows:
Disc-1:
A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing
Dinner and a Movie
Curtain With
Sample in a Jar
Moma Dance
Free
Nothing
Maze
Frankenstein
46 Days
[Disc 2]
Possum
Oh Kee Pa Ceremony]
Suzy Greenburg
Axilla I
2001
Birds of a Feather
Kung
Mike's Song
I Am Hydrogen
Weekapaug Groove
Divided Sky
The band is in top form throughout this set and playing
to their obsessive fans clearly only fanned the flames.
Although just about every song is strong but my personal
favorite here is the cover of Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein"
played at maximum volume and speed. "Weekapaugh" is another
powerful song that is the next-to-last song on the second
set. Although there are a few so-so songs and/or performances
(that's based more on my personal preference of the band's
material), this generous two disc set has more than its
fair share of highlights. Fans would do well to pick this
up.
Image & Sound:
Avoiding the scaly look of many concert videos this
show looks sharp, crisp with nice color reproduction throughout.
Some of the darker sequences are sometimes are a bit difficult
to make out and some fine detail gets lost in these sequences
as well but, on the whole, this DVD looks quite good. Audio
sounds marvelous with plenty of detail, great dynamic range
and clear separation for both the 5.1 and PCM stereo surround
mixes. ---
