b'Welcome back to 36 from the Vault! In Episode 7 we momentarily diverge from our trek through the larger Dick\\u2019s Picks series, to chat about the post-Jerry years. Focusing on the larger touch points between Phish & The Dead, we dive into Phish\\u2019s 1998 Island Tour, highlighting the April 3, 1998 performance from Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY. A high point for Phish, they\\u2019d just reinvented themselves stylistically throughout 1997, and then booked a surprise run of shows just a few weeks prior to dive back into the Eno-inspired atmospheric funk jams they couldn\\u2019t get enough of. A true turning point in the band\\u2019s larger history, The Island Tour marks the point where the party begins to consume the band, and the darkness that\\u2019s lingering will soon consume them. A celebration & an ominous sign of what\\u2019s to come, it\\u2019s a fascinating moment in their history.\\xa0\\n\\nOpening with stellar jams in \\u201cMike\\u2019s Song\\u201d and \\u201cWeekapaug Groove,\\u201d\\xa0the band later focuses on intra-band communication in \\u201cReba.\\u201d The second, however, is the highlight of the overall show. Running just four songs, it reads: \\u201cRoses Are Free -> Piper -> Loving Cup> Run Like An Antelope.\\u201d Particualrly in the \\u201cRoses\\u201d and \\u201cPiper\\u201d the band connects with such effortlessness that they sound pre-recorded. In the encore, \\u201cHalley\\u2019s Comet\\u201d leads into the second-ever stateside \\u201cCarini\\u201d before the rare \\u201cTweezer-less\\u201d \\u201cTweezer Reprise\\u201d closes the show.\\n\\nSteven and Rob focus on the energy that guided Phish throughout the 90s, highlighting the decisions that led to their 1997 reinvention,\\xa0and how this run shifted the band towards their more modern incarnation with all its surprises and challenges. In addition, they discuss the legacy of the thoughtful groove-driven jamming that defined the era.\\xa0\\n\\n36 from the Vault is production of Osiris Media.
