Phish - 07.10.98 - Down With Disease

from Barcelona, Spain

- video from the final concert of the nine-show Europe '98 tour.

A memorable evening in Barcelona as the band had to contend with a malfunctioning sound system in the club affecting many songs, with "The Divided Sky", "Mike's Song" and "Sparkle" having to stop after just a few minutes.

Interesting stage banter too as the band took an early quick setbreak after "Mike's Song" to let the audio system be worked on, and after "Sparkle" as Trey considered turning the stage monitors around to play thru.

"It's going to have to be a quiet concert -- better quiet than nothing. . . "

- enjoy the concert, Phish's last concert in Europe to date. . .


Info about the setting for this show:

"Zeleste is a club in a huge building, with big dance rooms, and located in the old industrial area in Barcelona. It is a classic nightspot in town and there are usually no problems getting in, although due to the great number of people, there might be queues. It is packed with indie lovers and young students looking forward to having fun and listening to music. The club is divided in different rooms with different types of music. In the 'Sala A Saco' they play indie, rock, pop and commercial music; in 'Sala Underworld' there is dance music and in the 'Pop Bar' there is obviously pop music. The regular DJs are Amable, Fran, Fénix and Delfín. Recently they have extended their offer with two more rooms dedicated to the new music styles. Zeleste is also famous for its concerts, with world-famous international and national bands and artists."

I think Big Erns shredding may have added to the "malfunctioning sound system"

Strange end to an amazing tour. Only "poor" show I saw from 1991-2000, due to sound problems. Reason: no soundcheck! Brad instructed audience night before to be on time for this show, yet an hour before showtime I ran into Mike & Tres in the elevator of our hotel returning from shopping, Mike humorously asking me "have you seen the rest of us?" lol Cactus!? So unfortunately show was the soundcheck & some gremlins invaded the sound system. Silver, if you taped this I spoke to you at the shows :-)
