Songs: Save The Date Jam – 10/31/98 Wolfman’s [Dog Gone Blog]
The jam, which is from the Wolfman’s on Halloween ‘98, is the perfect example of the musical depths that Phish can take us to. Given the right setting, and the proper amount of energy, the band can often reach musical plateaus that seem other-worldly. This jam is a perfect example. Coming from the most unlikely of songs, the band slowly delves into pure ambiance. At 21:20 you will hear the exact clip played on Phish’s website.
