I'm down. Love fall 98! Short set.

[Mersh]

Still almost a 3 hour show. I’ll always be down with a fall 98 show.

Ill never complain about getting a Fall 98 show, clearly the board will be overall supportive of this since this was the one tour many people said they would want released in full. I am curious what lead to this decision though, not a stand out show but I'm sure its great.

Tape map on wall. Cover eyes. Throw dart. Blurt out year. Boom! LT53.

Not a show I would have picked, but not too many bad shows from that tour so I’ll gladly purchase it.

Oh wow good catch. That seems way above average for the tour too. Its the same number of tunes compared to the rest of the tour, but looks like they played the longer ones that night.

[Mersh]

Dead last in rarity for the tour.

[TheNoise]

i will never ever complain about them releasing a fall 98 show, will purchase!

[Jack]

Interesting choice. My memory tells me the tape is garbage, so that’s a plus. Interesting to have just a ‘standard’ show from the tour. I think the first fall ‘98 we have with no guests. Just the 6 of them wailing. I guess I wish they had picked Tacoma Dome, or one of the canadian ones we don’t have a tape of. Will still buy.

[Mersh]

Now, can phish release their show from the same night?

[.Gary.]

How do you fuck up at shooting fish in a barrel?

[drh424s]

Jesus how do they manage to screw up a winter 98 show? I mean ill take it - but still, literally any other show is better

The show is barely above 2 hours (2 hours, 53 seconds). So definitely not a super long show.

[Mersh]

My mistake, thought it said 2 hrs 53 minutes, not seconds. Ha.

[Mersh]

I mean yeah, 12.3, 12.5, 12.7, 11.21...

[ThememanXX]

Short set, but I'll take it after the last two complete wet fart duds. Gonna pre-order this one tomorrow!

YES. I can't believe they haven't ever done that, especially since all of the Halloween shows are released.

[DMBCLSTJ]

Yeah, we will always want to pick our own shows, but given the turd they delivered for LT52 (sorry jack, I don't live in Maine haha) I'll buy this if only to support them releasing these types of shows/tours.

[SeekUpAB]

Thought it was the cricket show with Spoon when I first saw the email so that made viewing the set list even more disappointing. It’s ‘98 with Tim so it’ll probably be better than a lot of releases but feels like a bit of a letdown.
