Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Good Show, but overpriced.......2006-08-02

The good. This show is the chill Phish that you would typically hear in the 97-99 era shows. Kinda funky, some good layering of loops, and songs that work well together.

The bad. Since the show is not in stock many places, vendors with copies have more than doubled the price. The disc is not out of print, so just be patient. Also, any audience recordings of the show can be downloaded for FREE. The show is worth it's retail price, but this 40$+ business is absurd. Def. not that good.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT ALBUM, TOTAL RIPOFF ON PRICE.......2005-08-10

The album was great however. I have a big F- YOU!!! TO anyone and everyone selling this album at over the retail price. Right now the lowest price is 62 g*dd*mn dollars! If i ever see this album in a store at this price i will literally slap the person selling it!

5 out of 5 stars Underrated.......2005-07-05

This show has a loose feel from the beginning. The songs seem to flow in and out of eachother, and they often give that phish-like feel of making you forget what song their playing. The jams are more than your typical creative extensions of studio songs. I have not listened to very many phish shows that I can say all four were each on the very top of their game, but that can definately be said of this show. To say that this show is sloppy is to say that true phish is sloppy.

5 out of 5 stars Very well-played show.......2005-04-01

Highly recommended show for any Phish fan. I know it sounds pretentious, but I have to agree that this is not a show for beginners. This is the type of show that hardcore Phish fans salivate over. Well-played songs, great heavy and dense jams that go way beyond what Phish was doing early on. I hate when certain Phans think that only 94-97 is worth hearing. I highly disagree. I think this show perfectly defines what 1998 Phish was. The Limb X Limb here is spectacular and highly underrated. Trey's guitar work on this outing is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The whole Disc 2 is awesome. This CD-set is worth it for that and the bonus "Bathtub Gin" on Disc 3, which is funkalicious to the max.

4 out of 5 stars Heavy on SOTG songs, and it works great.......2005-03-10

"Live 17" (3 CDs, 198 min.) was recorded at a show in Portland, OR in July, 1998, a mere months before Phish would release "The Story of the Ghost", and showcases many of that album's songs (7, half of the album). It shows the faith that Phish has in its phans, playing that many then-unknown new songs to the audience.

Set 1's highlights include a very heavy and funky "Moma Dance", much better than the studio version on "SOTG" (it reminds me of Level 42), a great "Guyute" (check out the long instrumental outro), and the medley "Horn>Portland Jam>Chalk Dust Torture". The Portland Jam is a Pink Floyd-era Meddle-type, truly mesmorizing instrumental. After "Roggae" comes to an abrupt end, Trey complains he didn't get to do his 'cool guitar solo', so the band starts up again impromptu, giving him the solo he craved 'after such a long song', just great.
