Carini's gonna getcha!!
Anthony J. Stalloni | Wilmington, DE | 05/21/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"4/3/98 Nassau is truly one of the groundbreaking Phish shows of all time. The Island Tour, which contained 2 shows at Nassau and 2 shows in Providence, came on the heels of perhaps Phish's best tour ever(Fall 97) and in many ways was a continuation of the magic that began in 97. This was a special time to be a Phish fan as we felt the boys could accomplish ANYTHING on any given night. I beleive this was the best of the 4 shows on the Island Tour, although among Phish circles you will hear just as many phans site the next night in Providence as the best of the bunch. That's how strong these 4 shows were. Anyway this show kicks off with a blistering Mike's>OHP>Weekapaug. Any show that kicks off with Mike's Song will no doubt be a teriffic show and this night was no exception. This was also in my opinion the best Mike's groove of the year, and I've heard em all. Weekapaug is particularly amazing with soaring grooves throughout. The rest of the set is somewhat standard except for a typically gorgeous Reba. Set 2 is where the real magic begins. To begin the set we got a Roses are Free that may be among the top 5 Phish jams of all time. Roses had only been played 2 times before this performance and never before contained any kind of extended jam. This version is a total monster. It's close to 30 mins long and contains some of the most fluid, themactic improv I've ever heard. Just a pure jem. The Piper that follows is almost equally as amazing though not quite. It mellows out into a space jam that is just jaw-dropping. Loving Cup always shreds a room and this again was no exception. Next was the comic relief part of the show. After Loving Cup a fan ran up on stage and was chased off by Pete Carini, the Drum Tech. In the intro of Antelope Fish says something like, "If you're gona run up on the stage don't let Carini get you." After that they proceed to do a little vocal interplay with the phrase "Carini's gonna get you" Very cool stuff. The Antelope itself is a very strong version which may get overlooked. What a sick set this is!! Now on to the encore. Wow, what can I possibly say about this. The crowd at this point was in a total frenzy and literally begging for more. So of course the boys rip into none other than a smoking Carini>Halley's Comet>Tweezer Reprise!! One of the all time great encores for one of the all time great shows. GET THIS SHOW!!!!"
