August 17, 2011 UIC Pavilion, Chicago, IL Sources Review

To contact us Click HERE
Phish wrapped up their summer tour in the Midwest with a song-based show at UIC Pavilion.  After the first two nights at UIC, expectations were high.  Unfortunately, for the jam chasers out there, this show just didn't deliver like the other two nights.  However, as always with Phish, there are a few jams worth checking out again.  There are six recordings available from this evening.  I want to thank all of the tapers who got these recordings into our hands so quickly.  I really appreciate it.  Thanks fellas!

Phish - 8/17/11 "Makisupa Policeman > Sleep > Buffalo Bill" from Phish on Vimeo.

The KM84 source, unlike the previous two nights, is not the best sounding source.  The bass isn't nearly as prominent as in the earlier recordings.  The mix is still quite nice though.

The CA source sounds particularly tinny and has very little low-end at all.  The highs are nice, but the lack of low-end, especially compared to the Busman and KM140 source make me pass on this one.

The Busman source is the second best sounding recording of the evening.  The bass is actually quite nice on this, which I find unusual for these mics.  The taper did a great job capturing the evening, however the lows just aren't as distinct as on the KM140 source.

The MK41 source, like the CCM4 source, is quite clean, but has relatively low levels and the bass isn't as prominent as I like and doesn't kick the sub.

The CCM4 source, like the MK41, has low levels and the bass isn't very prominent.  Further, for some reason, instead of First Tube, the second half of Let It Loose from the previous evening is on the torrent.

The KM140 source gets my nod for source of the evening.  It is quite dynamic, the levels are great, and when Mike drops a bomb, you feel it. 

Happy listening!
