However, Phish is not alone in realizing this powerful energy that permeates from the PCC’s walls. The Dead have also managed to discover the same source on more than one occasion. I find it to be no coincidence that the Dead have a segment included on an official release from this venue (Dick’s Picks 12), and another show that contains a “best ever” version (along with many other memorable visits).

I’ve chosen some highlight moments from both the Dead and Phish’s past performances at the Providence Civic Center that span the course of 36 years. These examples show the bands in heightened improvisational states, resulting in some top-notch jams.
