4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not their greatest, December 7, 2001

Having seen Phish 20+ times live since the early 90s and having listened to 100s of hours of shows, I feel I have a pretty good handle on their stuff.

The 9/14/00 show from Darien Lakes Performing Arts Center is pretty good stuff. For me, its what I expect from a Phish show: to be really solid.

Disc one is quite strong despite a few flubbed notes in "Punch You In The Eye." "Reba" is really good, but not just mind-blowing like it can be. "Albequerque" is a really cool inclusion in that it provides a nice breather, and its a solid tune. The highlight song of disc one is "Carini." What a monster of a song that is, and this version particularly slams. The other main highlight of this disc is the so-called "Darien Jam #1"

Disc two treats us to 2 covers, 2 unnamed jams and "Dog Faced Boy." In my opinion its the three unnamed jams that really make this show stand out (of course getting The Who's "Drowned" and the Talking Heads' "Crosseyed and Painless" thrown in the mix helps too.) The 25+ minute "Darien Jam #2" is why I go to Phish shows...total improv. This one is sweet too, it runs the gamut of emotions and basically rocks. There's lots of cool sparse stuff and some funky noisy stuff too. This disc is a must have.

Disc three is where the whole show goes "so-so." "Caspian" is always a pleasure to hear and this particular version "goes off" nicely. "Loving Cup," "Driver," "Inlaw Josie Wales," and "Sample" are all great, but this is pretty standard stuff the rest of the way.

In my book, disc three makes this is a four star show and not a five star show. Its definately worth the 25 bucks you'll pay for it, but know (and be pleased) that there are much better Phish shows out there (there are even better discs in the first six of this series.)

5.0 out of 5 stars I've been really happy with this one, March 24, 2003

I've heard and read a lot of mixed feelings on this one but personally I've really enjoyed this one. The highlight is the second disc "mega-jam" that really grooves into some amazing ambient jams between songs like "Drowned" and "Crosseyed and Painless." I'd recomend this one to the more experienced Phish phan mainly because a less experienced phan may not have developed the ear and appreciation for such seemingly unusual and long jams. But deffinitely check it out. You won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars CANT SAY ENOUGH wonderful things about this mix, June 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Live Phish Vol. 3: 9/14/00, Darien Lake Performing Arts Center, Darien Center, New York (Audio CD)

Unreal recording. Jams jams jams. Song form is to the T also. NEW AND OLD phans will enjoy this. Suzy Greenberg is the best I have ever heard it. You can hear them talking after the conclusion of it...and they end up sarting the Suzy jam again (Darien jam 1). Disk 2 has to me what seems like an old tweeezer type jam (Darien jam 2)..this one is MUST have. And another short blender (Darien jam 3)that melts at the end to ease you perfectly to the end of the disk. Disk 3...well it is obvious the love was in the air that night. It was a rainy show for the lawn folk but something tells me they did'nt care after what was thrown at them. Loving cup warms everyone back up, followed by a wonderful driver. There is a "In law" here that is so so. Wrapping it up with Sample in a Jar which vocally in my opinion was priceless. And what a sample this set will be for you...don't miss out on this one!
