Encore: Amazing Grace[7], Contact > Big Black Furry Creature from Mars

[6] Vocal jam included a brief piece of Oh My Darling, Clementine.

Notes: I Didn't Know featured Fishman on trombone. Trey sang the verses of Fee through a megaphone, dedicated Llama to Chelsea Clinton and, with huge balloon and flowers in hand, dedicated Amazing Grace to his sister on her 30th birthday. Amazing Grace was performed without microphones. Reba included odd variations on the "Bag it/tag it" lyrics, an atypical jam, and a Simpsons signal. Tweezer contained Gumbo teases from Mike and Page. The intro to Big Ball Jam also contained a quick Gumbo tease from Mike. The vocal jam in YEM included a brief piece of the traditional Oh My Darling, Clementine.
This show was part of the "1993 Winter/Spring Tour."

Happy Phishaversary!!
I've been coming to where I am from the get go
Find that I can groove with the beat when I let go
So put your worries on hold
Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul

I'm not sure if I followed this thread correctly, but what guys are saying is that Dave Thomas sold crack in inner-city DC in the mid-80's, right?

20 years ago was a great phish tour!
Having a baby grand vs. that cheesy electric piano sound was such a nice change.  Not that I ever caught them pre-93, but as far as the recordings go anyway.

The Wedge benefitted.  8-)
Dysfunction and itemized lists of people's failures are where it's at.

Any first hand accounts of the Roxy show?

I almost went to these shows. Had a ride, tickets, and a place to stay, but I pussied out. It would be the last time I would miss a plausible phish show for many years.

I use records for that and don't have to justify it to my friends.

15 years ago... about the time those Island shows were announced, no?
couldnt have been much more than a month ahead of time if i recall.
just insane the amount of buzz, and it was about to be on like Donkey Kong wearing Sean JOhn in Bogaton.
