4—Ambient JamIIambientdarkfunkblissBeginning with a clear nod to "Music For Airports," The Lemonwheel's "Ambient Jam" moves in and out of menacing riffs and gorgeous fluidity over a bubbling rhythm section as the band navigates tipping their hat to a dear influence, while also letting their voice bleed through. Around 16min there's a full band breakdown into a dark, hypnotic groove where the Rhodes shimmers, Mike and Fish lock-in, and Trey guides them via minimalistic riffing, building over the next ten minutes to a massive peak around a shoegazey Trey riff. At 34:15 the band moves into a strutting and funky jam segment that has no resemblance to Eno but feels a part of the overall 97-00 sonic shift in the Phish world. Deconstructing this segment around 41:50, the band spends the final ten minutes of this thematic masterpiece in a haunting, dreamlike segment led by the chordal humming of Trey and Page, once again on the Rhodes. There's a "Rock A William" tease at 43:30 before Trey moves into a dawning theme wherein which it sounds as though the band is softly lulling itself to sleep. It then ends in the haziest and prettiest manner possible as Trey releases fireflies of notes fading like dying embers in a fire.
This was the first show of the Lemonwheel festival. SOAM was played by request for an eight-year-old boy named Sam Jarvis. Cities and Halleyâs Comet included alternate lyrics relating to the concert grounds. Gumbo included a Tweezer Reprise-esque jam. Sanity was played for the first time since Halloween 1996 (140 shows). Bowie included a lengthy intro and <em>Mission: Impossible</em> theme teases. After Tweezer Reprise, Trey made a long announcement thanking people for coming and remarked on the fun and joy of the summer concert festivals. He said that there would be some more music, played by the light of candles made that day by fans. The ensuing âambient jamâ was in the style of Brian Eno and was nearly an hour long and included Albert teases from Trey.
