Let's be frank, here. Trey's Reba and Caspian and Carini solos are somewhere between 'aggressive' and 'obnoxious,' while the Suzy is stultifying then standard (only its sheer length is remarkble). Meanwhile the Drowned > Crosseyed covers nearly 45 minutes, of which more than 20 are premium exploratory outer-space Phish, and of all the Phish performances I've heard this Crosseyed probably comes closest to Adrian Belew's demon-cash-register vibe on the original.

This show is anything but essential, though the Drowned jam is pleasantly reminiscent of the enthusiastically experimental 1994-95 Tweezers (cf. 'A Live One'). I'd unhesitatingly recommend the more consistently interesting and stylistically varied 9/11/00 Great Woods show over this one, though you should pick up the 9/14 Drowned jam (along with, say, the thrilling 9/17 Theme > Dog Log) if you're assembling a mix or just sampling Phish2K.
