Wow. I've heard of the Bowie> Cities> Bowie but I've never listened and...wow when I pushed play and that funk came out of my speakers I was a little shocked that was Phish. They get funky of course but wow that little clip blew me away!
Yep, summer '97 is as funky as Phish got. Even though the fall tour was probably better, it was a bit less funky and a bit more spacey than the summer.
Yeah, as a couple of commenters smartly point out repeatedly on these boards, Fall 97's great strength wasn't funk as such, it was the way funk intermingled with all the other amazing shit the band was doing. Deep ambient music, weird droning grooves, clever melodies, thick textures...the music is just so intense in comparison to the languor of summer.
