Best Phish concert to listen to for a beginner?

A Live One?
What’s the best show to listen to for someone just getting into the band?

A Live One is probably the consensus. Not a live show per se, but a great representation of their sound and style.
5/7/94 - Tweezerfest - great example of the band throwing away the setlist and just winging it. Tons of improv and the band weaving their way through snippets of cover songs over a full 2nd set. Closing it down with a great Purple Rain into a Hold your Head Up jam into Tweezer Reprise that is one their best segues ever.
12/31/95 - considered by many as their best show. It’s three sets so maybe a little overwhelming for a beginner.
11/17/97 - Band was at the very top of their game. Energy in the arena was nothing like I’ve felt before or after. Unfortunately I went to jail that night after the show.
Also a big fan of the Island Tour in early April 98.
I believe these are all available as official releases so should be easily accessible.
I’m not as well versed in shows post 2000. Although there have some great ones others can recommend.

The last time they played Jazz Fest, 2014 or 2015. To hear the old timers talk about it, that show might have been the magnum opus for Phish.

12/6/97 and 2/28/03 have been my favorites recently. Both have epic 2nd set Tweezers. 12/31/95 is fantastic but it is a 3 setter.

I’d start with covers you know, then expand.

Incredible You Enjoy Myself on A Live One as well

This is what hooked me when I was in Junior High. My brother had a burned copy of just the first set and I wore that disc out. Years later I got a hold of the second set and it is equally mind blowing.

Either 12/31/95 or A Live One
11/17/97 is great too. The Ghost specifically is as good as it gets
Every rec in here so far is really good really except the dude that mentioned Jazzfest

Noodling and rambling for a couple of hours. Mesmerizing.

I’m 42. But my comment was a complete sarcastic attempt to work that awful jazz fest show into this conversation.

You mean the gay barbershop quartet acapella serenade didn’t do it for you?
Of course that show sucked, that was the joke.
