Title: 12, 13, 20 years ago we were .....
Post by: lifeboy13 on July 23, 2011, 10:36:36 PM
     I've been passing the last 2 months of summer recalling the shows I've seen in the past and as each date approaches I recall the show and think about how many years its been since then. 

    It was exactly 12 years ago that I had driven from Minneapolis to Columbus, Ohio (7/23/1999).  I remember many parts of that show and the scene on the lot.  We had gotten into the lot early and had a great time enjoying the weather all day.  The show started off great as we danced through the set with a excellent Bowie and ending with my friends first Possum.  The second set was a fierce jamming set with a Ghost>Free>BOAF combo that must have been 45 minutes leading into Trey teaching us the Meatstick dance and announcing the New Years Plans.  As the second set was heating up so was the air, nearing the end of the set the crowd was starting to watch a storm moving in from behind us.  We were spent by the end of the 2nd set and after the quick break we all stood back up hoping the rain would start soon to cool us off.  Bouncing Around the Room was fantastic and through the song you can hear the audience cheer at some point when a small sprinkle and breeze start up.  Right about when the band breaks into Rocky Top, the sky opens up with a huge down pour.  We were all dancing in the rain like a bunch of hill-billies at a Jamboree and then the mad dash to everyones car ensued.  I changed right next to our car and we headed out towards our long drive to Alpine Valley which I shall tell you all about tomorrow night.

Yeah, I'm actually kind of curious about that.  Were you already a fan, or was that your first exposure to the band?

Twas the night before Alpine and all through Columbus.
not a hippie was lingering, not even  :wtu:
The cars were all loaded to the ceiling with care,
with hopes that they remembered their old camping chairs.
The drugs were nestled all snug in their place,
where no sherrif will find them, just to be safe.
with my girlfriend in patchwork, and myself in Tie-Dye,
We had set ourselves out for a long summers drive.
Out of the lot and towards the freeway,
through Ohio, and Indy and into the next day.
Waking early next morning to rest area Phish chatter,
70 Hippies taking showers using hand sinks and water.
Awake and refreshed as we finish the drive,
nearing East Troy and Apline we begin to unwind.
At a rest stop a few miles down Highway 43,
The people are waiting for the time to be 3:00.
Its into the Lots and the fun can begin,
Whos got my, whatever that you can imagine.
Through the front doors of Alpine and over the hill,
lays a beautiful, crowded, live music thrill.
On Guyute, On Fluffhead, On the Wedge, and Zero
Tonight they played everything but Time Loves a Hero.
As the crowd shuffled out to continue the show,
I sold cookies and sodas to replenish my dough.
With no tickets for Deer Creek, to be found on the lot,
We bought us a bag of the stinkiest pot.
As we drove home all stoned wearing hemp necklaces,
we were happy to have gone to the places we did!

So as I said last night, Tonight I will tell the tale of Alpine Valley 99'.
It was a beautiful day in Wisconsin that day, blue skies and a lot less humid than the day before in Ohio.  We were able to get into the Lot early and after an hour of hanging at the car were rewarded with a "Mike Drive-By" as he went cruising right down our row and in front of me as I was grabbing for the camera.  The show was fantastic but at the time was a little over my head at times, as I remember during my first TMWSIY.  The second set was incredible as they kept blowing my mind with a Kung, and Happy whip and Dung Debut.  By the time the Encore started I was ready to sprint out to our car to grab our cooler and some cookies I made to try to sell.  We couldn't vend at all in Ohio with the rainstorm, so making a little money was needed.  They started out with Glide which I thought was a little odd and then the faint sounds that I heard in the lots before of Camel Walk started and the crowd starting going nuts.  After they got the crowd elevated they dropped the bomb of an Alumni Blues.  The encore was just another highlight of my two day run with the band that I will remember til the day I die.  Afterwards I ran to our car and grabbed a cooler and about 70 bags of cookies, I walked against traffic for a bit and stopped to vend.  Within about 20 minutes I made $120 and bought a bag of nugs from one of my customers, back then $120 was gas money for the whole trip plus a few Grand Slams at Denny's.  God Bless the old 90's Phish tours.

It was 13 years ago today that I saw my first Phish show on the road.  I had to take a bus to Madison and hitchhike to Alpine to do it but with tickets to Alpine and the two Deer Creek shows I left town with a backpack and a small two man tent.  I got to Madison around Midnight on August 1st and started walking, first to a gas station for some directions where the attendant traded me anything I could carry for a little weed and then off to an interstate exit for HWY 39 south.  I walked for about an hour and eventually got to the HWY and got a lift, too bad it was some perverted homosexual that asked me to show him my dick about halfway to Janesville.  I got out of that situation safely and with my homo-virginity intact and spent an hour calming my nerves at a Denny's.  After some grub I was at a county rd that went to East Troy so I got out there and started walking down one of the darkest country roads I've ever seen and being 2:00am I thought I would never get a ride.  First car drove past me after about 30 minutes and sure enough it was a couple of locals out partying on coke and seeing my Tye-Dye they picked me up.  Partied with them for a couple of hours and took a nap as they kept partying, but they were very nice and took me to Alpine when the sun came up.  Getting to Alpine in one piece just as everyone was showing up from driving all night long from Ohio was cool.  I started talking to everyone and learning about tour.  Everyone was really great and kind, helping me out with a soda or a story.  Walking into the show someone had a reserved they were trying to sell and I upgraded my Lawn for $10+my ticket.  To have a decent seat for this show was incredible, from Ramble On to Been Caught Stealing this show was everything I was hoping it would be and more.  After the show I got my first veggie burrito and witnessed the massive lot party that follows a summer show, then headed to where all the cars were leaving where I sat pathetically hoping for a ride to Indiana.  Within 10 minutes a nice couple about my age let me into their car and I graciously offered gas money.  I can't remember the guys name but his girlfriends name was Erin and they were driving across the country following Phish while heading home to Pennsylvania.  They were on the road to Deer Creek and so was I, with two new friends and a whole new outlook on life!  13 Years Ago (8/01/98)!

  13 Years ago today (8/2/98) I met Mike in the Deer Creek Parking lot.  He was in his cart with some chick and totally answering any questions people could think of.  I remember him not wanting to sign a book of someones because it wasn't trademarked by the band.  I got my Alpine stub signed by him and I was just starting to trip in the cool vibes of the venue camping area so it was truly a highlight of my life.  This show had my first and only Lifeboy in it.

18 years ago today I was a wide-eyed naive 12 year old boy. I walked into the Murat Theatre in downtown Indy and experienced the first of countless nights of happiness watching a little band called Phish. I walked out of that show not fully understanding what I had just seen and was then a wide-eyed naive 12 year old phishhead.

15 years ago today I saw they boys play one of my favorite Mike's songs at Deer Creek.

1 year ago today, there was a massive Paug meet-up at Deer Creek.

I drove the whole night from Deer Creek to Hershey, just to get to our campground (Hershey High Meadows), a few hours before the show.  We walked to and from the venue.  So glad I caught this show, it's one of my favourites!  Gonna go listen to it now. :-)

Just got this email when I got to work this morning.

Hey Phishy69,

According to what you entered at Phish.net, today is the 14th anniversary of your first Phish show! To help you reminisce about the 14 long years since walking into Loring Commerce Center at Loring Air Force Base in 1997, we invite you to visit http://phi.sh/970816 for the setlist and download links.

What an incredible weekend that was and got me completely hooked on these guys.

It was twenty years ago today...

(https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/539826_10150936847591645_1136602826_n.jpg)

The HORDE tour presented by Canada Dry & Maxell.

the Line-Up:

Col. Bruce Hampton (ret.) and the Aquarium Rescue Unit ->
Widespread Panic
Spin Doctors
Phish
Blues Traveler

It was not my first rock show (Rush in 1991)... but it was my first "jamband" show. Of course, nobody used the term "jamband" back then.

I was a huge Blues Traveler fan. I remember when their second album was released ("Travelers and Thieves") I went to Record Town at the Short Hills Mall and bought it that very day. Prominently displayed next to it was "A Picture of Nectar" which I did not buy on that day... soon...

Of course, Spin Doctors were just starting to blow up at this time, too. They had a single (Two Princes) climbing the charts... but in Jersey, we were already very familiar with those guys. We knew they were buddies with Blues Traveler, but I never really thought they were as good. For the record, I still love John Popper. Guy has tremendous talent as a song writer, singer, harp player, guitarist, and is a great guy ta-boot.

So, we head down to Garden State Arts Center on this fateful day 20 years ago... ARU is on stage first. I'm admittedly a little lost... trying to get my bearings around this hippie crowd. People are smoking weed... men are hugging other men... cute girls in flowing dresses are already spinning in circles...

Anyway, ARU is playing and slowly, one by one, these other musicians are joining them onstage. Then slowly, one by one, the members of ARU are leaving the stage. Before I know it, we are hearing Widespread Panic. Now, people on this board know I'm not the biggest WSP fan, but I gotta admit, this transition was cool. It really set the stage for the rest of the day. This was no normal rock and roll show.

Once WSP finishes their set, there is a brief break in the music. I say brief because it was. This HORDE tour had a huge rotating stage. So, while WSP was playing, the roadies were setting up for Spin Dr.s behind them. So, it took about 10 minutes to rotate the stage and they were ready to go!

The Spin Doctors set was cool. I remember it really well. Their front man is a freak and chicks in the crowd were loving it. I remember looking around at the really hippie-looking folks in the crowd and seeing a lot of standing around with hands in pockets just sort of grooving in one spot.

Next up was Phish. I had heard some Phish tapes at a few basement parties over the previous few years, but I never really listened too closely. I was definitely unfamiliar and unprepared for this. I will say, the energy in the crowd went up a few notches once Phish hit the stage. Those hippie dudes no longer had their hands in their pockets - they were dancing.

the setlist:

Set 1: The Landlady, Runaway Jim, Foam, Sparkle, Stash, The Squirming Coil, Cavern > Vacuum Solo > Cavern, You Enjoy Myself, Suzy Greenberg

*Several "official" H.O.R.D.E. dancers took the stage during The Landlady to dance with Trey and Mike. During the tramps segment of YEM, an extra tramp and microphone were brought out for John Popper. On his first jump, though, Popper jumped right through the trampoline. Embarrassed, he left the stage.


What I remember:

Seeing Trey and Mike looking like they were headbanging from the lawn. I mean, you'd have thought they were playing "Master of Puppets" by looking at them, but the music pouring out was Latin jazz.

I also remember my attitude towards front-man antics changed a lot that day once I saw a band where all 4 guys were serious musicians. It just made Chris Barron look like an idiot by comparison. It's funny, because I sing and I love to sing... and I had a few opportunities to sing with bands both in high school and my freshman year of college - but by the time I was in college I really felt like an idiot out front singing... I'm definitely not a "musician" so why would I be in a band.

I remember Runaway Jim... I remember Stash just because I loved the way it sounded from the very beginning. It was my first favorite Phish song.

I remember Cavern and the vacuum solo. I remember the trampolines and the whole John Popper prank. I was pretty geeked out to think that Popper was going to jam with Phish and a little bummed when he didn't, but the prank was hilarious.

I remember the vocal jam out of YEM and thinking "this must be for the people on acid... I bet this sounds great on acid."

I sort of remember Suzy... then it was over.

By the time Blues Traveler hit the stage, the sun had set and the crowd energy had come down quite a bit. I enjoyed their set, which included Warren Haynes (then of the Allman Brothers) sitting in on Mountain Cry. But it was a let-down after Phish. Needless to say, I've seen Blues Traveler a couple dozen times since and enjoyed every show, but never have been blown away. I still love John Popper and always will.

Since that day I have seen Phish a total of 120 times including this past Sunday in Saratoga Springs, NY. I celebrated my 20 year Phishiversary on Sunday and the boys made it special for me. I caught my first La Grange. They encored with a monster YEM. I spent the weekend with Wendel and his brother (and a bunch of other great folks). Over half of my 120 shows (66 to be exact) I have seen with Wendel. It's just what we do whenever we can. I wouldn't have it any other way... Can't wait to do it again.

super fun times just 12 years ago today...

Tuesday, 07/11/2000
Deer Creek Music Center, Noblesville, IN

Set 1: Ya Mar, The Moma Dance, Uncle Pen, Drowned, Chalk Dust Torture Reprise > Chalk Dust Torture, Theme From the Bottom > Cavern

Set 2: Also Sprach Zarathustra > Down with Disease -> Moby Dick > Down with Disease > Runaway Jim -> Moby Dick, Back on the Train -> Moby Dick > Back on the Train, Harry Hood[1] > Moby Dick, Hold Your Head Up > Terrapin > Hold Your Head Up > Moby Dick[2] > Hold Your Head Up, Character Zero

Encore: First Tube > Moby Dick > Chalk Dust Torture Reprise


[1] Moby Dick tease.
[2] Trey on drums and Fishman on vacuum.


Notes: In keeping with the theme of the second set, Hood included a Moby Dick tease. Trey introduced Fishman as "Russell Crowe" during Terrapin. The Moby Dick inside of the HYHU jam featured Trey on drums and Fishman on vacuum. The Chalk Dust Reprise was akin to the version last played on December 10, 1994 (391 shows), with the band singing the words "Chalk Dust Torture" over varied music. At the end of the encore, Trey joked that, if anyone missed anything, they should read the book or see the movie. Prior to this show, Moby Dick had not been played since November 29, 1997 (172 shows).

That show was amazing. I was on three hits of some tye-dyed blotter and I vaguely remember turning to my buddy when DWD turned into Moby Dick and losing my shit. Just out of this world happy, a pinnacle of joy. The feeling kept getting better and better everytine they would go back into it. By the end of the encore i was crying tears of happiness. That night I danced my way back to our campsite, a few cornfields away, singing the music of Moby Dick and occasionally singing 'Tourturrrrrre'.

me and PIE-GUY had the same first phish show!  I got the email from phish.net, followed the show link and read your review there.  was so stoked you mentioned the ARU/WSP tradeoff...was one of the cooler things I've seen live.   Great read that really brought me back, thanks.  Seems like yesterday...

This September is my 22nd anniversary. Although, admittedly, I had an eleven year hiatus, some of which was spent while Phish was also on two hiatuses.

13 years ago today I was sitting second row center for one of my favorite shows I've been to. I scored 5 second row center seats through public on sale at the local ticketmaster outlet because I went to high school with the girl who was running the lottery and she liked me, so she called my number as the first to get to buy tickets!!

22 YEARS AGO MY FIRST SHOW...began on the 13th but ended after midnight, so on the 14th, which is my birthday. Was driven down to New York with a bunch of musicians I played with. I was the young drummer, they were all 5-7 years older than me. When we played bars, I used to play with a ball cap on and always came in the backdoor.

We drove down to Wetlands, I had never been to NYC, so was pretty overwhelmed simply by the surroundings. They dosed me a little while outside of the city. By the time we got to the bar, shit was real melty. I'm not really sure how I got in, as I am positive they were ID'ing people at the door. I think one of the guys I was with slipped the door man a hundo. I'm not even sure if we had tickets but there was a line to get in as I remember being a little cold.

I seem to remember going up stairs to the club, pretty sure there was some other shit going on on the lower floor, maybe a bar. I do vaguely remember the VW but maybe not. I was so fucking high. Everyone was dressed crazy hippie freak style or glittery beginning raver style, it was like all the cool people from the dead lot were there minus the sketch bags. Everyone was on acid, and I mean everyone. I thought this is what it might have been like at one of the early acid tests. And then the band came on.

I had never even heard them before, no live tapes, no album, nothing. I found a boogie down section in this packed, sweaty, cooking hot club, closed my eyes, and twirled the night away with a couple older hippie chicks (my usual concert routine for those who have witnessed it...well, now they're younger hippie chicks). I would be lying if I said I remembered anything that was played. Sad cause it was bust out city. First Tube, first Landlady, first Buried Alive, first Stash ever played.

But not knowing the songs, it just felt like a continuous stream of really weird, fast, complicated music. Naturally, I had trouble figuring out what was jamming and what was composed. The guitar player was unbelievable, and seemed a step ahead of the band. The closest thing I could compare it to, with my limited musical lexicon at the time, was Zappa. And then an even weirder looking Dude joined them on stage singing and dancing. And then they played La Grange. LOL. Mind fucking blown.

Ah, thanks for clarifying buddy. As I've said before, I have no idea how Caravan manages to recall certain intricacies of his adventures. Regrettably, attending somewhere around a thousand live music events, the majority on acid, and then attempting to recall the confines of some small club you went to 22 years ago is no longer in my cards.  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

Are you trying to tell me how acid and musical environments work together? Lulz.

......but seriously n00b, do you have any idea how many concerts I have seen on acid. Good Lord, I did the late punk skate scene (prior to your Green Day days  :wink: ), so Pixies, Ramones, JFA, DOA, etc.... Then the Rock and Roll metal re-birth with Guns and Roses which bled into the West Coast grunge scene, during which I was funding money to host raves, of which I attended hundreds. And all this while hitting jam band shows and letting that love grow. Oh and I nearly forgot the hundreds of jazz shows I have seen. Basically, all I did for 15 years solid was drop acid and see music.

Come back and see me in ten years and let me know if you remember the vibe at Merriweather Post in 2009 I believe it was.  :tte:

No.  I'm not trying to tell you how a drug works.  But thanks for getting your panties in a wad, and all defensive. 

I was sincerely asking if you don't remember what the vibe was like the wetlands when you walked in or most rooms, especially the first time you visited the room.  That's all.  And I'm not saying you should remember every moment either.  I think certain ones do stand out.  And with me, and this is just particular to me (so no need to get all high and fucking mighty like you just did), I tend to remember that more.  So that is all I was asking.  It was specific to you, and not a general conversation of how drugs work.

That's way cooler than Darien Lake, 12 years ago today.

I've generally found that people who were on the lawn hated that show, people under the roof thought it was cool.  In retrospect it's everything that I dislike about Fall 2000, but the Reba is good times.

Weirdest choice for a Live Phish release?

I'd probably put it at #3 or so, after Camden 99 and Alpine 00.

Also, maybe it was that same article, I think I remember that they said they picked Camden because Fishman thought the Chalkdust was the greatest Phish jam ever.

And I agree, Alpine just didn't make much sense, even if you accept the Y2K bias on that first wave of releases.

I've always thought Darien '00 was a pretty good show -- better than many that fall, imo.

Reba, Carini, Suzy and Drowned are all great... set slouches a bit after that but a good show overall.  Really like the vibe of all those jams...

7/8/00 would be at the bottom of my Live Phish list as well, but I can see why they picked it.  It's as solid Phish show.  Not much meandering, searching or slop that was becoming more and more prevelant in 2000.  Piper/R&R/Tweezer combo are all real solid.

8/13/96 is another SOLID show, but they really should have released the next night instead.

fucking Portland....

I dunno I think the California Love Tweezer makes it worthy, and it also has the only jammed Horn as well as some classic banter in Guyute.

I'd say that Creek show is great in my book, the first set is perfection and Mike's gets out there.

The 14th has the dream set list and is my second favorite show that tour. However, the Tweezer, DWD, Jim, while ripping type I's, have little in the way of visiting the outer rings of Uranus. Whereas the 13th is blastoff from the get go. And the second set might very well have the most evil and twisted of all Mike's Songs. Imagine the '96 Creek Mike's song with the NYE '95 'paug. Kaboom.

No way man, Alpine 00 is fucking sick.  That whole release, for me, is made worth it by the first 3 minutes of Piper.  Its THE perfect Piper build.  Dude, go pull it out, and put it on.  REALLY LOUD.  And listen to Mike. 

Its all about Mike.  The registers that he chooses to play the notes in, and when he switches to the lower notes..... ugh.  I just got goosebumps thinking about it.  The jam is pretty good, and I'm pretty sure Trey is teasing 3.0 Phish in the Tweezer jam :P 


Seriously though, I would buy the show again just to hear that Piper intro in SBD.

17 years ago yesterday was my phanniversary, and I walked there from where I was living at the time!  I was in complete and total awe of what was taking place on the stage this night.  At one point, the girl I went to the show with asked me if I was alright.  I literally stood there with my mouth open, not moving, not talking, for the first hour at least.  It is absolutely amazing to think of the impact this single event has had on my life.


Sunday, 10/22/1995
Assembly Hall, University of Illinois, Champaign, IL
Set 1: AC/DC Bag, My Mind's Got a Mind of its Own, The Sloth, Runaway Jim, Weigh > NICU, Fast Enough for You, It's Ice > Poor Heart > Sample in a Jar, I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome[1], Stash
Set 2: Golgi Apparatus, Possum -> Catapult, The Curtain > Tweezer -> Makisupa Policeman -> Big Black Furry Creature from Mars, Life on Mars?, Uncle Pen, Slave to the Traffic Light > Cavern
Encore: Sweet Adeline, The Squirming Coil

[1] Acoustic.

Notes: I'm Blue I'm Lonesome was performed acoustic and Stash was preceded by a Simpsons signal. During Adeline the band kept rotating the direction they were facing to sing to the entire crowd.

Hey birdman,

According to what you entered at Phish.net, today is the 20th anniversary of your first Phish show! To help you reminisce about the 20 long years since walking into Boston Garden in 1992, we invite you to visit http://phi.sh/921030 for the setlist and download links.

Friday, 10/30/1992
Boston Garden, Boston, MA
Set 1: Runaway Jim, Maze, Bouncing Around the Room, Rift > Cavern > Vacuum Solo > Cavern, The Squirming Coil > Stash, Sweet Adeline, You Enjoy Myself
Notes: This show was a New Music concert sponsored by WBCN in Boston and included The Levelers, Material Issue, Michael Penn, The Spin Doctors, and a comedy troupe that was booed off stage before their time expired as the impatient crowd clamored for Phish. After Cavern, Trey said that it was his childhood dream to play for the Boston Bruins and this (performing at the Boston Garden) was as close as he would ever get. YEM was preceded by a Simpsons signal.

Long, Strange trip since that night

Quote
Sunday
11/12/1995
O'Connell Center, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL
Set 1: My Friend, My Friend, Llama, Bouncing Around the Room, Guelah Papyrus, Reba[1], I Didn't Know, Taste That Surrounds, If I Could, Split Open and Melt, Hello My Baby
Set 2: The Curtain > Tweezer > Keyboard Army, Sample in a Jar > Slave to the Traffic Light, Hold Your Head Up > Cracklin' Rosie > Hold Your Head Up, Possum[2] > Tweezer Reprise
Encore: Fire
[1] No whistling.
[2] Simpsons signal and Dixie, Woody Woodpecker theme, and Johnny B. Goode teases.
Notes: Reba did not have the whistling ending. Possum contained a Simpsons signal as well as Dixie, Woody Woodpecker theme, and Johnny B. Goode teases.

It gets missed with Atlanta directly before, and Orlando directly after, but it is all Fall 1995 goodness.

Brother, wait till you pass two decades......then you'll feel old. Interestingly, the cute hippie chicks stay the same age.

On that note, during set break I usually play "spot the hottest chick in the venue" (as I'm generally having trouble composing sentences). Well, the third night of SPAC this summer, in front of BM, PG and myself, had to have been the hottest chick I have ever seen at a Phish show. Leather Indiana Jones hat, super long straight brown hair, what looked like jeans with chaps, upper arm shoulder tat, California tan. I was fucking mesmerized; virgin face but everything about her screamed bad, bad, girl. If I had had a camera, and naturally been able to operate one, I would not have shied away from asking her for a picture.

Hard to believe it's been 15 years!
My 3rd show, good Ohio friends, microdots and the most snow I'd ever seen in my life up to that point (which wasn't really that much).
I remember being shocked at how many people around me didn't know "the song after Wolfman's brother".   :-o  Although listening to the recordings now, you can tell the majority of the crowd picks up on it right away.
Also, I don't know why it never shows up in show notes, but there are unmistakable Boogie On teases from Page during the jam in Tube proper.

We did the 12/6 Saturday and 12/7 Sunday run from college.  The details are very fuzzy from 12/6, but I remember 12/7 like it was yesterday.  What a night!  The venue was a really sweet venue for Phish at the time.  It was way smaller than the Palace the night before.  And I'll never forget how it seemed as though every single person in that place was experiencing the exact same emotions as Phish blew our minds.  The energy created from the beginning of this first set was truly something special.

During Hood, Trey asked Chris Kuroda to turn off the lights for a Blackout Jam and the audience responded with a shower of green glowsticks. The opening act was J. Willis Pratt & We're Bionic.

QuoteThursday, 12/14/1995
Broome County Arena, Binghamton, NY

Soundcheck: Strange Design, Free

Set 1: Suzy Greenberg > Llama, Horn > Foam, Makisupa Policeman > Split Open and Melt, Tela, Taste That Surrounds, My Sweet One, Frankenstein

Set 2: The Curtain > Tweezer[1] -> Timber (Jerry) -> Tweezer -> Keyboard Army, Halley's Comet -> NICU -> Slave to the Traffic Light

Encore: Bold As Love

[1] Slipknot! tease in the jam into Timber.

Notes: The jam into Timber included a Slipknot! tease. Bold As Love was played for a fan up front with a sign requesting it. A humorous scene ensued when another fan got excited, as if Trey was referring to his Brother sign. Trey remarked that when fans bring signs, it has to be for a song the band wants to play. This show was officially released as Live Phish 01.

There was an opening band??? Hahahah. Lulz, I do not remember this AT ALL. And how the hell did you, of all people, make it inside of the venue in time. There were more than a few opening bands in the early years, yet similarly, I don't remember any of them either. Was just reading the posts on the Toronto 12/12/92 show that was just re-seeded at etree, and there was mention of Days of You opening, an early 90's Canadian jam band who I knew. But fucked if I remember them opening.

Naturally the dog spit it back out so peanut butter did the trick. When we came back from the show, the dog was on its back with wild ass eyes and breathing deep. I remember my buddy yelling "what the fuck did you do to my dog?!?!" and then it decided to go fuck a pillow. At the time I only had a few bootleg and had no concept of Forbin's or half of the songs played really. Needless to say my mind was blown and the encore was unreal!!! Kinda weird though, I've never listened to this show since then.

You were 17 twenty years ago? Well shit, barnesy, that'd make you...almost as old as RJ.

I'm listening to that show right now. That pea pod > baby food > baby's mouth narration would have fucked me up on mushrooms.

I can't believe it was 10 years ago this week that a bunch of us did the NJ, Philly and Greensboro shows.  We had so much fun!

Set 1: Down with Disease, Corinna, Wolfman's Brother > Limb By Limb, Everyday I Have the Blues[1], The Thrill is Gone[1], Rock Me Baby[1]

[1] Phish debut; B.B. King.

Notes: The last three songs of the first set were Phish concert debuts that featured a guest appearance by B.B. King.

Tuesday, 02/25/2003
First Union Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA

Set 1: Julius, Talk, 46 Days, Taste, Frankie Says, Slave to the Traffic Light, Water in the Sky, Walls of the Cave

Set 2: AC/DC Bag, Cities, Theme From the Bottom[1] > Runaway Jim > Thunderhead > Sparkle, Pebbles and Marbles

Encore: The Squirming Coil > Character Zero

[1] Unfinished.

[1] A portion of the jam was based around the chords to Oye Como Va.
[2] Oye Como Va and Another One Bites the Dust teases. Daniel Saw the Stone tease in vocal jam.

Notes: Instead of emerging from behind the piano with his own microphone for Lawn Boy, Page came front stage and used Trey's microphone and stand. The move prompted a raucous response from the crowd. A portion of the Piper jam was based around the chords to Oye Como Va. Trey subsequently teased Oye Como Va, as well as Another One Bites the Dust, during YEM. Carolina was played for the first time since November 18, 1998 (144 shows). The YEM vocal jam included a Daniel Saw the Stone tease. Proud Mary was performed a cappella (including renderings of the musical breaks) to conclude the vocal jam. Only one other version of Proud Mary is known – a full-band version at the first ever Phish show on December 2, 1983 (1,361 shows).

The stories never get old.

So let's hear 'em!

This is actually the abridged version.

Ok, so Igbo, RJ, his wife, her girlfriend and I lit out of RVA on the morning of the show in RJ's none too spacious vehicle. Igbo and I had made Jack and Coke Super Big Gulp road sodas and the poor girlfriend, being the smallest, was riding bitch between us. If any of you have spent any amount of time with the two of us together, you know this is not a seat of honor. The two of us are getting pretty blasted and clinking cups right in her face and generally being obnoxious. After pregaming at the hotel, we head for the venue and  it starts to rain as we get near, so the lot was dead as shit. We don't know if the venue even sells alcohol, so we slug some Jack and Mezcal and then head in. Well 20 minutes standing in line wasted fucking sucked and once we were inside we noticed that they indeed sold beer. Score! We sit behind the stage and after getting settled, the ladies head for the bathroom. They come back with fucking frozen margaritas...Where did you get those shits??? Oh, there's a frozen drink stand next to the bathroom. On it. Modi and I roll over to the drink stand and notice that there is a full bar right next to it. Fuck the frozen shit, Maker's on the rocks please. The lights go down and we get down. At setbreak, I run into a couple of friends and they had something, either mahl or chocos, I can't remember which, but whatever it was, I ate it. The second set was a blast from what I remember. I forgot to mention, there was a tittie bar right in front of the venue. Modi and I try to convince the crew to go to the club, but no one else was having it. Eh, just drop us off. No problem, have fun at soccer practice, you can walk home. Jonathan barely slowed down and we spilled out of his car. We get in the club and it is mostly locals with a few tables of dudes from the show. I proceed to spend a bunch of dough, got a $20 dollar lap dance for $13 bucks, almost get kicked out for feeling up the stripper, felt her up some more when the bouncer turned to walk away, almost get kicked out again, somehow we close the place down and try really hard to get a ride to the hotel from some strippers. A cab was called. Shit gets real blurry here but I remember running into my friends from home and grabbing the Mezcal and Jack and roaming the halls. We also came upon the indoor pool and sat on these lounges and watched a bunch of fucked up folks have a big massage train in the pool. Or they were doing something, I don't know. We were drinking from the bottles and it was hot as shit. Disgusting. There was also a king's bounty of snacks bought from the vending machines and lost change and I think we got yelled at by a hotel worker. And then a round of everyone's favorite fun game: punch each other in the nuts. Spoiler alert: no one won. You know what's hilarious at 4 in the morning in a dead quiet room? Opening bags of Fritos and attempting to eat them. Shit was the loudest thing I ever heard. Failing at all that, I woke up with fucking Fritos everywhere. Brunch looked delicious and was choked down with bouts of nausea. Boy, it was a quiet ride home, full of remorse and warranted judgments.

I ended up crashing in a dorm room and hooking up with a girl who was a student at UNCG. We had worked together at a restaurant the previous summer.  She didn't even go to the show, I just showed up on her doorstep and we banged. Best night ever!

:clap:
and thats how its done!

I can relate to the trying to eat quietly in a dark hotel room post show.

In Charleston '10 there was a Denny's in the parking lot of our hotel. In the middle of the parking lot. So obviously I got fuckin' country fried steak, eggs, and mashed potatoes with a shit ton of gravy. I was staying with qop and wife, they were asleep, and I rolled back and crushed that shit as quietly as possible, trying to not wake them up. I was fucked up. The plate was almost clean and, I kid you not, I was literally slurping the gravy off the plate, when qop wakes up and is all "dude, what the fuck are you doing".

All the stories you hear about me are true folks. I am a fat greasy bastard.

Ah, the Greensboro show...

That was a night.

The stories never get old.

So let's hear 'em!

This is actually the abridged version.

Ok, so Igbo, RJ, his wife, her girlfriend and I lit out of RVA on the morning of the show in RJ's none too spacious vehicle. Igbo and I had made Jack and Coke Super Big Gulp road sodas and the poor girlfriend, being the smallest, was riding bitch between us. If any of you have spent any amount of time with the two of us together, you know this is not a seat of honor. The two of us are getting pretty blasted and clinking cups right in her face and generally being obnoxious. After pregaming at the hotel, we head for the venue and  it starts to rain as we get near, so the lot was dead as shit. We don't know if the venue even sells alcohol, so we slug some Jack and Mezcal and then head in. Well 20 minutes standing in line wasted fucking sucked and once we were inside we noticed that they indeed sold beer. Score! We sit behind the stage and after getting settled, the ladies head for the bathroom. They come back with fucking frozen margaritas...Where did you get those shits??? Oh, there's a frozen drink stand next to the bathroom. On it. Modi and I roll over to the drink stand and notice that there is a full bar right next to it. Fuck the frozen shit, Maker's on the rocks please. The lights go down and we get down. At setbreak, I run into a couple of friends and they had something, either mahl or chocos, I can't remember which, but whatever it was, I ate it. The second set was a blast from what I remember. I forgot to mention, there was a tittie bar right in front of the venue. Modi and I try to convince the crew to go to the club, but no one else was having it. Eh, just drop us off. No problem, have fun at soccer practice, you can walk home. Jonathan barely slowed down and we spilled out of his car. We get in the club and it is mostly locals with a few tables of dudes from the show. I proceed to spend a bunch of dough, got a $20 dollar lap dance for $13 bucks, almost get kicked out for feeling up the stripper, felt her up some more when the bouncer turned to walk away, almost get kicked out again, somehow we close the place down and try really hard to get a ride to the hotel from some strippers. A cab was called. Shit gets real blurry here but I remember running into my friends from home and grabbing the Mezcal and Jack and roaming the halls. We also came upon the indoor pool and sat on these lounges and watched a bunch of fucked up folks have a big massage train in the pool. Or they were doing something, I don't know. We were drinking from the bottles and it was hot as shit. Disgusting. There was also a king's bounty of snacks bought from the vending machines and lost change and I think we got yelled at by a hotel worker. And then a round of everyone's favorite fun game: punch each other in the nuts. Spoiler alert: no one won. You know what's hilarious at 4 in the morning in a dead quiet room? Opening bags of Fritos and attempting to eat them. Shit was the loudest thing I ever heard. Failing at all that, I woke up with fucking Fritos everywhere. Brunch looked delicious and was choked down with bouts of nausea. Boy, it was a quiet ride home, full of remorse and warranted judgments.

RJ and Mrs. RJ could not kick us out of the car fast enough.

Greensboro 3/1/03 was a great time. Standout memory just now is the random pre-show party we wound up at, walking distance to the venue, where some guy who'd driven through the night from Nassau, wired up tight on blow, recognized my wife from a few years earlier in Burlington VT. She's really straight, he's a freak at the end of tour... epic awkwardness ensued.

I wasn't there, but 20 years ago today was one of the most epic shows of all time. The story goes something like this... the crowd was so quiet and attentive Trey decided to drop a Gamehendge on there laps.

QuoteMonday, 03/22/1993
Crest Theatre, Sacramento, CA

Soundcheck: Two Princes, Halley's Comet, Weigh

Set 1: Chalk Dust Torture, Guelah Papyrus, Uncle Pen, Stash, Bouncing Around the Room, Rift, Weigh > Reba, Sparkle > David Bowie[1]

Set 2: Golgi Apparatus, It's Ice > The Lizards > Tela > Wilson > AC/DC Bag > Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird > The Sloth > McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters, Mike's Song > I Am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove[2]

Encore: Amazing Grace[3], Fire

[1] Simpsons, Oom Pa Pa, Random Note, and All Fall Down signals and Popeye theme and brief Split Open And Melt teases from Mike in intro.
[2] Sundown tease from Mike.
[3] Without microphones.

Notes: The Bowie intro contained Simpsons, Oom Pa Pa, Random Note, and All Fall Down signals and Mike teasing the Popeye theme and briefly Split Open And Melt. The second set included Gamehendge narration in between songs from It's Ice through McGrupp. This was the first Gamehendge since October 13, 1991 (193 shows). Weekapaug contained a Sundown tease from Mike. Amazing Grace was performed without microphones.

19 years ago was a night that truly changed my life.
you can't really ask for a better first show.
the 2nd set defines everything I love about music (even though it opened with Possum  :evil:).
everyone should give that set a listen tonight.

Now that's a doozy of a first slim.

Today marks the 14th anniversary of Oswego.  Had such good times at this fest, seems like a lifetime ago.

07/17/1999 (Sat) Oswego County Airport - Volney, NY
Set 1: Tube, Boogie on Reggae Woman, Birds of a Feather, Guelah Papyrus, My Sweet One, Roggae, Tweezer > Have Mercy*, Taste, Character Zero
Set 2: Funky Bitch**, On My Knees**, On My Knees Reprise***, Down With Disease, Wolfman's Brother > Sneaking Sally Through the Alley > Timber, You Enjoy Myself
E: The Squirming Coil, Tweezer Reprise
Comment: * - With Trey on keys.
** - With Son Seals (composer of Funky Bitch).
*** - Blues jam played as Son Seals left the stage.

07/18/1999 (Sun) Oswego County Airport - Volney, NY
Set 1: Punch You in the Eye, Farmhouse, Water in the Sky, Bathtub Gin, Get Back on the Train*, Call Me If You Need a Fool*, I'm Blue I'm Lonesome*, Beauty of My Dreams*, Moma Dance, Reba, Chalk Dust Torture
Set 2: Runaway Jim > Free, Meatstick**, Guyute, Axilla***, Llama
Set 3: My Soul, Piper# > Prince Caspian, Wilson > Catapult## > Icculus###, Mighty Quinn, Fluffhead,
E: Harry Hood
Comment: * - With the Del McCoury Band.  One of Del's band members broke a
string and left the stage so a fiddle/banjo breakdown ensued during his absence.
** - With an explanation of the record by Trey, Sofi on stage dancing and with the Guinnes Book of World Records staff videotaping the event for verification yet on what the estimated attendance count was, much less a count of those dancing.  Though preliminary reports suggest the crowd may have exceeded 70,000, but that participation in the Meatstick Dance was weak.
*** - Axillas on this tour had been Axilla I but with the II ending, this performance was pure I, with no II ending.
# - With glowstick war and Trey on keys.
## - Catapult was followed by a tremendous amount of banter and toying, all continuing in the E chord from the end of Wilson, which was never finished.  Trey tells the audience to "read the fucking, helping, friendly book".  He they said "you won't find it on MTV or at Barnes & Noble or Borders or Amazon or on the Internet... if you want to find out, you've got to read the fucking book".  He continued his banter with comparing 'Smoke on the Water' to 'Cat Scratch Fever' and demonstrated during the jam.
### - Followed by more narration and teases of the Rolling Stones 'Miss You'.

:rockout:

yeah, wolftrap had no idea what hit them, lol.
what a kiler scene.

i had just moved to Vienna  a month before, about 2 miles away from the venue, so all my richmond friends came up.
Best part was i was the oldest, just turned 19, and was elected to carry the cooler in since they allowed beer to be brought in! :beerbang:
--dont think ive ever seen a venue do that since.
$15 for tix!
i was actually already pretty into Phish that year since Rift had just released that Spring i believe.
unfortunately i had passed on the 92 Floodzone show in richmond that coulda been my first. :|
but this one was pretty solid good 1st show and has the nice Leprechaun kick down (2nd time played?) i would later appreciate more.
pretty sure i ate a few boomers... but mostly just partied about with the VA crowd that had people i knew from everywhere.
good times. 8-)

15 yr anni of one of my all time favorite attended:

  Monday, 07/20/1998
Ventura County Fairgrounds, Ventura, CA

Soundcheck: Jam

Set 1: Bathtub Gin, Dirt > Poor Heart[1], Lawn Boy, My Sweet One, Birds of a Feather, Theme From the Bottom, Water in the Sky, The Moma Dance, Split Open and Melt

Set 2: Drowned -> Makisupa Policeman[2] > Maze, Sea and Sand, Prince Caspian > Harry Hood

Encore: Sexual Healing[3] > Hold Your Head Up, Halley's Comet

[1] Several false endings, including a Free Bird-style ending.
[2] Long, atypical jam.
[3] Phish debut.

Notes: Poor Heart featured several false endings, including a Free Bird-style ending. Makisupa included a long, atypical jam. Sea and Sand (first since NYE 1995, or 166 shows) was an appropriate choice, given the venue's location near the beach. Sexual Healing made its Phish debut at this show with Fishman reading the lyrics off the back of a show poster. As delay loops built to end Halley's Comet, the band left the stage one by one. The soundcheck's jam contained several quotes of Venus (Shocking Blue). This show was released as part of the Ventura box set.



just one of those shows that i cant put into words how perfect it was for me being there.
& i still probably listen to this show more than any other for the fact it has a flow and setlist that represents perfection for me.



"... we came outta the dessert... landed on the beach, seagulls and rolls, friends from the Northeast...
transient memories from the future and past.
sexual healing would come at last.
caspian soared, and maze befuddled. hood was on point and someone musta got puddled.
halleys funk sent us dancing into the night. :banana:
& hitched a ride to long beach with some freaks i just met...
but that split open, drowned, and bathtub i would soon not forget."":mrgreen:

in light of last night's show it is important to mention that i've always regarded the 98 ventura version of CRapsian as my favorite.

14 years ago I was stomping a mud puddle in the lawn of the Polaris Amphitheatre, during a crazy ass storm that led the band to jam the hell out of Ghost.

10 years ago they layed down my very favorite Sneakin' Sally as I tripped balls on a bag of boomers and clearly remember dancing from the top of the lawn down to the bottom and then back up. I will have to spin this Sally today.

Oh, and 2 years ago today I got married.

That storm that rolled in late night/early morning was amazing to witness from inside my buddies mini-van while still enjoying my trip! What was even better was that one of my buddies slept through that massive storm and woke up with his tent lying flat over him. I had watched the storm rip it out of the ground and flail it around with him anchoring it down. The look on his face when he climbed out of his wrecked tent was priceless.

It rolled through so quick, we didn't have time to get to our car, so we hunkered down in our tents, literally holding on to our tents so they didn't fly away or break.  I have vivd memories of the wind lifting up our shade tarp and then slamming it down, completely bending the poles in half and destroying them.  It was amazing to watch.  Our cooler went flying, we didn't know what to do!   :hereitisyousentimentalbastard  Afterwards, it was eerie.....quiet with people wondering where their stuff had ended up.  Once we got our own stuff back together, we went out and helped our neighbors.  It was crazy.

Today is the 20th anniversary of my 1st Phish show  8-)

Saturday, 07/17/1993
The Filene Center at Wolf Trap, Vienna, VA

Soundcheck: Jump Monk tease, Shaggy Dog, Nellie Kane, Leprechaun, The Mango Song (x2), Funky Bitch (x2), Punch You in the Eye, Blues Jam

Set 1: The Landlady > Runaway Jim, Sample in a Jar, My Mind's Got a Mind of its Own, Stash, Reba[1], Chalk Dust Torture, The Horse[2] > Silent in the Morning > The Oh Kee Pa Ceremony > David Bowie

Set 2: Also Sprach Zarathustra > Tweezer, The Squirming Coil, It's Ice, Sparkle > Big Ball Jam > Mike's Song > Leprechaun > Weekapaug Groove[3] -> Hold Your Head Up -> Faht[4], Rift, Good Times Bad Times

Encore: Amazing Grace, Daniel Saw the Stone > Tweezer Reprise

[1] Stash teases from Trey.
[2] Trey on acoustic guitar.
[3] Unfinished.
[4] Fishman on acoustic guitar.

Notes: Reba contained Stash teases from Trey. The Horse featured Trey on acoustic guitar and Faht featured Fishman on acoustic guitar. Weekapaug was unfinished.

My second show..I was 18...I hopped the fence....it was rad.
:rockout:

yeah, wolftrap had no idea what hit them, lol.
what a kiler scene.

i had just moved to Vienna  a month before, about 2 miles away from the venue, so all my richmond friends came up.
Best part was i was the oldest, just turned 19, and was elected to carry the cooler in since they allowed beer to be brought in! :beerbang:
--dont think ive ever seen a venue do that since.
$15 for tix!
i was actually already pretty into Phish that year since Rift had just released that Spring i believe.
unfortunately i had passed on the 92 Floodzone show in richmond that coulda been my first. :|
but this one was pretty solid good 1st show and has the nice Leprechaun kick down (2nd time played?) i would later appreciate more.
pretty sure i ate a few boomers... but mostly just partied about with the VA crowd that had people i knew from everywhere.
good times. 8-)

Thanks for bringing back the memories!  This one was also my second show. I was two months shy of 19 years old.  I remember everyone thinking this one raged, and Wolf Trap definitely had no idea what hit them.  It was like a hurricane rolled through that place, and the nice mellow venue staff were in shell shock.  I remember seeing multiple groups carrying in coolers so big that they had to be carried by their two strongest people.   It was a wild, one-of-a-kind scene for sure!

Cheers,
JDM

I was at work at the record store when I got the news. Locked myself in the back room for a while.
Pretty sure the gang came by at some point.
Later, my co-worker chased some loudmouth punk kids out with a bat after they'd said the wrong thing about Jerry.

And my fall tickets had arrived for my 21st b-day in Boston.

Similar thing for me.  I had gotten tix for all six nights to close out ye olde Boston Garden the day before.  We were euphoric, listened to  :syf: all fucking day.

Then we got the news, and after bawling and all that shit, I had to write a final paper for my summer school class.  Shit-tastic day all around.

Nice status about jerry from Tom Hamilton

QuoteMy phone rang and woke me up. It was my girlfriend and she was crying.

I wasn't shocked or grief ridden like she was. He lived on his terms, followed his road, and it happened to have ended where it did. His voice was a part of my life since before my earliest memories. It was what it was, and it is what it is.

I was fortunate that I was finally allowed to go see them that year. I caught the last night of the Spectrum run (Unbroken) and the two nights at RFK with my older brother and his friends. It was so special to me. I felt something incredible and I carry it with me to this day.

It was never about drugs, or hippies, or jamming. It wasn't about avoiding the real world by following a band around, or memorizing stats like they were a baseball team. It was the songs. The guitar playing, and the voice. The message of love, culture, art, and a life worth living.

That, my friends, is why I do what I do.

I took a train to Montreal and a bus to Plattsburgh by myself for The Clifford Ball, which would be my 2nd and 3rd shows.  I was first few rows for 5 of the 6 sets (too tired for 3rd set on 8/17).

Ground-scored a huge bag of nugs before the shows, ate way too much paper after the show first night (great idea at the time) and thought the flatbed jam was some kind of weird hippie thing so I didn't want anything to do with it.

I was so stoked to get the FMs as soon as I got back to school 3 weeks later - it felt like right away.

It felt so hard core at the time to be 20 and travelling solo like that, but now that I look back I think I have fewer memories because I wasn't with a big crew...

20 years ago...
i started up my bLue Aerostar minivan, left William & MAry after 2 weeks back at school, drove to Richmond, picked up my buds Jace and Omar- or Space and Slomar as they were known, and headed up with no tickets to Philly  for 3 nights @ the Spectrum with the Richmond caravan.
this run still stands out for me as the pinnacle of my Dead experience. epic times were had.

the lot scene was bumpin, per usual @ Philly.
not sure, but i think we got there a little late in the afternoon and tickets were scarce.
i recall there being a ticket validation table set up in the south lot  b/c of the ton of Fake's being circulated.
Pretty sure a couple of our Richmond crew got bunked and things werent looking very good for anyone.

come show time the ticketless hoards including my crew had moved over to the north entrance, and somehow we ended up conspiring with a bunch of kids that had conceived a very desperate plot to ensure noone would get shutout.
it was pretty complex stuff  :wink:
--we'd all get in line like we had tickets and then the 1st person to hit the doors without a ticket would... push.

not sure how high i was, but all of my crew got in on the bumrush, though later i found out Space was too mellow and backed out.
Slomar and I were right up in the thick of things though. i remember being about 4 people back from the first ticketless bum and then the Extreme amount of pressure as the ploy went into action.
There were rows of glass doors on that main entrance to the SPectrum, and probably about 50 heads all at once tried to push through single doors with only one usher at each trying to stem the tide.
the Po Po were scramblin, but before they got in position the levee broke and hippies spilled onto the floor inside the building falling all over one another.
after regaining my breathe i did what any honorable head would do... i  got up and ran like a bat outta hell.
about 10 feet into my stride i saw dead ahead the largest black man in a police uniform i'd ever seen coming straight at me.
The outstretched palm of his hand literally knocked me off my feet and back onto the ground where the continuing flood of heads fell over me again.
a second time... i got up and saw daylight.
one mad adrenaline dash later and i was in the concourse crowd and free.

ducking into the stands i found somewhere to sit on some stairs next to a chick who i asked "what'd i miss?"
--"just Touch> Walkin"
-"sweet"
:pant pant:
--"i just busted in the show"
--"its my Birthday!" she said with a smile. :mrgreen:


...and we were off... :syf:

listened through set 1 and set 2 through drumz so far today.
one of my all time favorite attended shows without a doubt.

     This board is so crystal its one of the few dead shows i always end up turning up waaaay louder than any other show i listen to.
Generally considered one of the best post-Brent shows i think.   I personally believe this might be Vince's best show with the band, and Jerry was tuned in for the entire run, so...

    The first set is wonderful, and the tight jamming of the Let It Grow 1st set closer  hints at the  X-Factor fueled segue-fest to come.
Dark Star was a genuine surprise bundle of joy, perhaps in tribute to the large sign held up the 1st two nights with the year/month/day/hour since the last Philly Dark Star.
    Post space song selection this night was definitely the letdown of the entire run, but considering the preceding  heavy hitter  50+ minutes non stop  thru space that was such a rare occasion... well we just had something to look forward to the next night.

notably:
post show of the 2nd nite instead of headin back down 95 to our hotee we went down to the huge hotel megaplex with the Denny's in teh middle of it, right south of philly.
one of the best post show scenes ever, aka Sodom and Gomorrah.
coming down from our trips late night someone decided to cop a bag of china white  :shakehead:
later in the room after those fateful 1st bumps i  sketched up the  setlists from the 1st 2 nites:

the final nite's list and doodle were added on the 15th apparently. :syf:

so, 3 for 3 in 93... not easy to come by in the Vince era, but ALL 3 shows were on point. It was all about Jerry being in a good space.

    by Tues night the 'tourist' crowd was long gone; tickets were basically free; and HELp>SLIP>FRANK was a Lock.
this night i definitely remember eating some of the best acid i ever had.
We parked in the 'park' parking lot on the west side of the Spectrum...
i believe this was the day i grabbed a long sleeve, turquoise ribbed tie dye that became my best  friend... :-o

the show was bangin. i still have a good idea of how the Spectrum felt inside that night and it was wonderful.
Brokedown closed... and we all wondered out into the Philly lot tripping...tripping...
...the east side fenced in Nitrous lot seemed like an apocalyptic wasteland, and then the Gestapo moved in to clear the unwashed masses from the venue as quick as possible.
I wondered back to the Park and ended up on a swingset Peaking physically and spirtually,,,,up up up...

Spacce and Slomaar reappeared and as we gathered around the AEROSTAAR i asked: "OK, So who is Tripping the LEAST?"
it was me.  :-D

and into the night>>down I-95, ::TRIPPING ballz:: i drove.
As space and slomar fell around teh back of the minivan i played bootlegs to keep me awake, but whenever the music picked up i would speed and whenever it mellowed i would slow down... basically going between 5-105mph on the Jersey turnpike.
eventually i had to give it a rest and Demanded an exit!! :crazy:
unfortunately we somehow found one of those exits that didnt have a re-entrance to the freeway, lol
:clap:

so... about 3am or so slim and friends ended up 'winging it' across the Jersey/PA countryside looking for the highway...

Jace cut me a breather eventually and got us back on the road to Richmond... by the time we passed FRED-burg i think we thought we had it in the bag and cut off for one final break at the last rest stop b4 Richmond about the time the sun was coming up.
Randomly a Richmond kid we knew was at the same stop and he just happned to have a nitrous tank that needed to be drained, so... we got spun one last time before heading back into reality...
but that wasnt the end for SL!m...


i dropped Space and Slomar back home and stopped by a friends apt in Rich. to crash for the night before heading back to Williamsburg.
the next morning my buds took off for work and i waked and baked with their roomate before heading out...

so, obviously i was still Mega-spun from the shows and i remember being in super high spirits...
then somehow this dude i barely knew,  but was old friends with my good friends, told me he needed a 'ride out of town'  :?
from what i recall he told me something along the lines of there was a warrant out for his arrest and the cops would be snaggin him up from some 'drug-related' offense or whatever.
  Being completely on could nine/; ' i love everyone', etc, i was like: "dude, i'm headed out of town and i'll get you outta dodge no problemo"

cut to a few hours later and this person and me end up at my dorm room in williamsburg...
seriously at the time everything seemed KOSHER... i think we even hit a party of my friends up and perhaps that was when i discovered this dude's face was on the fucking news... ((been so long, details shady)), but once we were back at my place i think he started to feed me lies and tell me he was really being hunted by the FBI, but he Never told me why.
   eventually things started to get real tense and he gave me a bunch of acid and smoke before he was gonna take off... i flushed the L, and smoked the smoke :smoke:
\about that time some Federal NINJAS  busted down my door and through the windows, lol. :samurai:
dude had dashed into the closet  :roll:  but the jig was up.

i had no fucking idea wTF was going on... still spun from the Philly run by a mile, lol.
next day my buds call my from RIChmond and tell me they had been the ones to rat the dude out and direct them in my direction to find him...
apparently this guy had been a child molester for years and noone knew. it was a really fucking sad scene and i was apparently charged with aiding and abbeting a federal fugitive b/c this guy had done this horrible shit while biking cross country.
they let me off since i was clearly clueless and had basically just given this guy a ride without knowing anything he had done.

and that's how the story ends kids. :-) :syf:

I wasn't going to go because I was in college down in Champaign at the time.  I had a ton of fall 98 shows coming up, and I was trying to save money.  Phish tickets were $20-$25 at that time, and I actually didn't want to cough up the $25 for only 1 set of Phish.  That's how picky we could be in those days.  As the date drew nearer I realized there was no way Phish was going to be 2 hours away from me and I wasn't going to be there, so I ponied up the dough.  The New World Music Theatre totally blows for shows, but neither the Farm Aid crowd nor the World staff knew what hit them as Phish hit the stage.  Phish phans with lawn seats easily jumped down into the pavilion.  We took that place over for an hour and a half, and it was pure bliss. 

I've always loved watching guests interact with Phish and the Phish crowd.  It was great watching, what I interpreted to be, an extremely inebriated Neil Young rocking out with Phish.  Neil was having a blast, and at first he looked somewhat uninvited.  He just kind of appeared towards the end of Jim.  However, I'm sure Phish probably told him to do whatever he wanted.  Musically, it didn't work for me, but I enjoyed watching it take place.  The sing along with Willie was fun, and I remember walking out of that place fully satisfied.  Even if I recall thinking that Paul Schaffer was one of the biggest tools ever. 

A large part of this set was broadcast on CMT, the Country Music Channel.  We all freaked out at the opportunity to get a high quality professionally shot vid of a show were at.  I had my dad taping it at home for me, and I watched it the very next day.  I still have that VHS lying around somewhere...has it really been 15 years...

Saturday, 10/03/1998
New World Music Theatre, Tinley Park, IL
Set 1: Birds of a Feather, Farmhouse, The Moma Dance, Runaway Jim -> Arc[1] -> Down By the River[1], Moonlight in Vermont[2], Will the Circle Be Unbroken?[1] > Amazing Grace[3] > Uncloudy Day[1]

i always get nostalgic about phish in october...

14 years ago today I successfully completed a 6 show run without a drivers license.  previously to this i was always the guy making the plans and usually ended up driving.  this was a nice little break, but i still like making the plans and driving...

19 years ago tonight - the Maker with DMB. This was actually a great show. Still my only trip to Oak Mtn.

http://www.jambase.com/Articles/119690/Flashback-Dave-Matthews-Band-And-Phish-Collaborate-On-The-Maker (http://www.jambase.com/Articles/119690/Flashback-Dave-Matthews-Band-And-Phish-Collaborate-On-The-Maker)

QuoteEver since Phish started playing large venues they've gone without having opening acts in all but the rarest occasions. The Vermonters made a few exceptions in the mid '90s, most notably for the Dave Matthews Band in 1994 just before the DMB hit it big. Dave and his band opened a five shows for Phish in 1994, one of which took place 19 years ago tonight at Oak Mountain in Pelham, AL.

Phish played a pair of sets on that Saturday night in Alabama and when they returned for the encore, following a drum duet by Jon Fishman and Carter Beauford, all of the Dave Matthews Band came out for a debut cover of Daniel Lanois' "The Maker." Matthews handled vocals on the tune, which the Jerry Garcia Band, Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson have also covered over the years, with Anastasio providing falsetto backing vocals. The version of "The Maker" the bands laid down that night still stands as the only version in Phish history, though Anastasio performed the tune a few times as a member of Dave Matthews & Friends.

QuoteEver since Phish started playing large venues they've gone without having opening acts in all but the rarest occasions. The Vermonters made a few exceptions in the mid '90s, most notably for the Dave Matthews Band in 1994 just before the DMB hit it big. Dave and his band opened a five shows for Phish in 1994, one of which took place 19 years ago tonight at Oak Mountain in Pelham, AL.

Phish played a pair of sets on that Saturday night in Alabama and when they returned for the encore, following a drum duet by Jon Fishman and Carter Beauford, all of the Dave Matthews Band came out for a debut cover of Daniel Lanois' "The Maker." Matthews handled vocals on the tune, which the Jerry Garcia Band, Emmylou Harris and Willie Nelson have also covered over the years, with Anastasio providing falsetto backing vocals. The version of "The Maker" the bands laid down that night still stands as the only version in Phish history, though Anastasio performed the tune a few times as a member of Dave Matthews & Friends.

I remember refusing to go in for DMB with my girlfriend and her sister. She was pissed.
Fuck that shit.

Even back then, your hate ran that deep for those guys?

i saw DMB open for the phish @ the 4.20 show.
it wasnt that bad... i think... actually the onyl thing i remember is the sit in during the phish set.
i grew up with the bass player so it was cool seeing them at that point just right before they really broke.

Fucking love that song, I only saw it once when Jerry played it at Hampton in '93.

That was pretty amazing. Second only to Shining Star that night.

I listened to that yesterday and Trey's line in Harpua drove me nuts trying to remember what it was from (Where the Banshees live and they do live well)   I didn't have web access at the time.  Thanks for the reminder.  I just looked it up now and feel so much more at peace knowing that now.

I'm waiting for when this new band I really dig gets onto a similar roll....  I think they've got what it takes.  They just need to learn to really let go every show and throw down like its their first time performing the songs and last time ever playing together.  :P

Set 1: Wilson, Sparkle, Maze, Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird -> The Vibration of Life -> Fly Famous Mockingbird > Divided Sky[1], The Horse > Silent in the Morning, Poor Heart, Cavern

Set 2: Julius, Ya Mar, Tweezer > Contact > Big Black Furry Creature from Mars, Down with Disease, Sweet Adeline

Encore: Slave to the Traffic Light -> Icculus, Tweezer Reprise[2]

[1] All Fall Down signal.
[2] Extended ending.

Notes: Divided Sky contained an All Fall Down signal. Miscommunication within the student-run venue staff led to a premature signaling for the second set to end. Following an extended break to "discuss" the matter with staff, the band returned for an unusually long encore. Tweezer Reprise featured an atypical extended ending.






one of my favorites.
:phish:

My day so far...
Cup of coffee -> Wake n' Bake -> listen to this Tweezer/make breakfast -> eat breakfast --> re-wake n' bake/sit on the couch and play Batman Arkham Origins.



This is going to be a good day!

Did you go?

yes, my 4th show.
pretty much the show that sold me.
think it was the smallest venue i saw them at besides the Roseland show in '00.
very intimate, i remember being able to walk from one side to the other in a minute or two.
i also remember a large % of the crowd being UVA students and Phish virgins, but also  seemingly  a lot  them were dosed on the good L that was circulating. with a bunch of Gamehenge  played there were Def. a bunch of freaked out preppies, lol.

just finished listening through today, man i love this show, so many 'lil gems.

i thought it was interesting, still discussing the 10-27-94 show, after reading this snippet from  RJ's Hampton blog:
It's easy to look back at Fall '94 and complain that Phish isn't playing thirty minute versions of "David Bowie" every night. The problem is that Phish didn't do that every night when it was Fall '94 and that came after many years of regular shows and rehearsals.

--that i was thinking something similar when looking at the timings for this Fall 94 show.
longest song was Divided Sky @ 16:15, the Tweezer was 12:14, and the DWD>adeline was 11:55.

funny how i could see someone bitching about those song lengths being too short if played in 3.0, but how they were absolute perfect lengths IMO for fall 94.
hmmmm...

I agree to a point.
it is more about the quality of what they play, as opposed to the repeats and the length of jams.  the creativity is vastly different now.

I didn't really feel like anything was ripcorded this past weekend.  I remmeber thinking at hartford that the tweezer actually ended at the perfect time.  2001 was even a bit more extended than the typical 3.0 2001.

Right. The creativity was so dense in, say, 93-95 that they could do a lot inside of 12 minutes. 12/14/95 Halley's anyone?

It's fair to say that, as a very general rule of thumb, the longer the jam is, the more likely it is to contain unique, inventive playing. Hence why people clamor for long jams and are disappointed when they aren't longer. Also, there have been far too many instances of jams petering out or getting ripcorded when you know it could have kept going and gotten better.

But in fairness to the band, there have also been lots of examples in the 3.0 era of them packing a lot of ideas into shorter jams, and of not noodling around for minutes on end before getting to the good stuff.

On balance, though, given that their playing isn't as consistently fiery and punchy as it was 20 years ago, and given that they often tend to showcase an open, patient, expansive jamming style, jam lengths remain a decent proxy for potential quality in this era.

Yeah we've all heard the "duration of the jam is not the only thing" and that's certainly a part of what I'm driving at.

I'm just pleased to know that at least one person made it to the end of that post.

For me, it's the stagnation.
09-13. 5 years of "basically" the same show and interchangeable setlists.
Let's take a five year period from sayyyyyyyy '93-'97.
EACH year was a drastic change fom the last.
3.0 is just one big lump of Wolfman's.

nailed it.  now the years are defined by how whale-y they were or weren't.
one album worth of new material in 5 years by a guy/band that used to be prolific writers.

shows are fun, however.   :angel:

you guys are haters.  the 300th possum in 3.0, they changed drummers.  they didn't do that in fall of '94.

we're all agreeing I think.  just making different points.
the reason I liked 10/25 was them throwing in some non-standard 3.0 songs.  the jams weren't long, but I still liked the show a lot.

saw two shows on this date...

after a highly anticipated champaign show that i walked to the week before, i was left unfulfilled and wanting more.  we made the trip down to st. louis and were treated to this little gem...i loved this show...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcZAE1P0HSI

Friday, 11/15/1996 Kiel Center, St. Louis, MO
Set 1: Wilson > Divided Sky, Bouncing Around the Room, Character Zero, Punch You In the Eye > Prince Caspian, Ginseng Sullivan, Train Song, Chalk Dust Torture, Taste > Cavern

Encore: Funky Bitch[2]
[1] Phish debut.
[2] John Popper on harmonica.
Notes: Mimi Fishman addressed the crowd before the show and noted that the band was donating a portion of the proceeds from the show to charity. After Sleeping Monkey, Trey announced that the show was brought to you by the letter M (referencing all the second-set songs with "M"-titles) and the number 420. This show marked the Phish debut of Mean Mr. Mustard, complete with a John Popper (cloaked in a cape and hobbling with a cane to the roar of the audience) cameo as the "dirty old man." Popper stayed on stage to lend his harmonica to a very short Weekapaug closer and Funky Bitch encore.


...and we did this one after cincinnati in '98.  it felt like a high school gym compared to the massive crown arena.  after the show, we drove all the way back home to champaign.  there wasn't much in the way of city lights on the drive, so the annual leonid meteor shower kept us going all night long.  i still remember it vividly...

15 years ago yesterday. I remember driving down to the show after work from sugarbush. Parked and ran thru some park to the spot I set with my sister the week before. Finally found her and she pushed what looked like a five strip in my mouth. It had purple swirls almost tie-dyed. Then we rushed in. Show was an inferno to say the least. Just fantastic. Top five for me.

Flew home from skiing with my bro at vail to see that centrum show. Easily my favorite show post '97.

Had just flown back from Australia. Book ended the year with Island Tour, then Albany>Worcester. Tripping balls driving home after the third night, I destroyed one of my parent's cars (ask me about the story some day, my 16 year old sister was driving as I had no license having been living abroad, so I paid her to drive me and a buddy down to the shows).

Your stories take too long

I blame the acid.


Did someone say Acid?

Had such a blast with the VA Paug crew for this show raging at McGrupps pad pre and post show. ! I'll probably never listen to this show again, but I had a great time.

I also remember forgetting my ticket on the way to the show....

12/5/99

the 1st "3.0" show?   At least it looks that way.  Disjointed, lack of flow, no real jams.

Man....I think you guys need to revisit that steaming pile of 12-5-99 and give it a listen.....ya, fun was had but the music that night BLEW CHUNKS......sad to say, but this was my last show prior to Cypress....and this show was the reason I didn't go to Cypress.....sold my tix the next day.

Coventry > Rochester 99.......worst 2 shows Phish ever played.....just listen to it......I can't make it thru the 1st set.....
Title: Re: 12, 13, 20 years ago we were .....
Post by: WhatstheUse? on December 06, 2013, 06:01:55 PM
There was only one Rochester show in fall 99 I believe...

It's surely not a good 1.0 show but I'd rank it far above a lot of 2.0 and 3.0 shows.... I know I wish I could have been there.

Jennifer Dances also sucks, but surely not the worst song they've written. Reminds me a lot of recent Trey material (Winterqueen, Summer of 89 etc.)


eta: Just threw on the 12/5/99 Twist.  Sounds pretty good to me... nothing special, but it sounds like old Phish.  There's a fluidity in Trey's playing that I really wish I could have witnessed. some weird flow happennin' in this show for sure though...

I not much of a fan of Trey's working man/show tune ballads, but every now and then one gets me. Winterqueen has got me. I like the images it conjures in my head.

I know this show doesn't particularly stand out when measured up to the rest of December 1995, but it's probably my favorite attended show behind the Clifford Ball.  Maybe it was the hellish blizzard that afternoon and the fact that we actually made it to Albany alive.  Between the doppler Maze opener, the band's quirkiness shining through with the Beavis & Butthead Wilson, the Timber second set opener and obviously the YEM. I just had such a great time at this show.

Was going to post almost the exact same thing.  My favorite attended 2 set show.  I'm glad someone else still talks about the Doppler Maze opener.  That really helped the LSD kick in...

Walking out of the Knick after that show to find several feet of snow on the ground to play in was the icing on the cake.

That December '95 leg was a real winter tour. From what I remember, it snowed at nearly every show, from start to finish. Was really cold on most nights. Driving conditions from show to show were spastic.

I wandered onto the bus in '95, they kicked me off it pretty fast. That's got to say something when you're too weird for the 12 Tribes.

I always thought they were pretty harmless, just way out there. 
I used to find it interesting to watch them in their circles dancing around outside the bus.  They seemed so peaceful.  To each their own, I say.

I've been on the peacemaker before...want to say island tour 98. Had a long discussion/argument with
of their members. The anthropologist in me was interested in what they had to say.Talked of family, culture, work, and spirituality. Actually pretty enlightening but my brain was too strong for them to erase

The only thing I took away from my encounters with them is this:

The world is full of fR34k5 who would like nothing more than for you to join them.....If I were a violent person, they would be my first targets....for sighting in, of course.........The sheep trying to convert wolves to sheep.....

I lost a good buddy to the bus back in 94.....I haven't heard from him since that fateful night he got on the bus in Buffalo.....rumor has it that he's still roaming around with em.

I think the real brainwashing starts after tour when they get you to a desert in New Mexico, have you burn your possessions and renounce your loved ones.

ahhh i see i see,

I also read that the higher ups in that organization are owners of some high end skyscrapper construction companies in NY or something. Thats where most of their funding comes from or I guess how they make money....? I dunno the whole logistics on it but sounds kinda strange.

18 years ago tonight rocked CCCC in Portland ME.  kind of a rough show in that had stayed up all night the night before studying for an Anthropology Final then boogied on down I-95 with some friends to catch the show.  I was in/out of it after drinking, puffing pretty much the whole time.  I definitely remember more of set 1 then set 2.  I'm sure people around me were thinking I was on H or something because I literally couldn't stay awake.  Fishman was a machine.

Yep.  The pre-show wave wasn't too shabby either.  People were freaking pumped to be there.  If you listen to the auds, the crowd loves the hood, and IIRC, people were lighting off fireworks inside when the lights went down.

:hereitisyousentimentalbastard Yeah, we saw her name on a billboard while driving into Philly and we all looked at each other and said " we are meeting that bitch tomorrow". So the next day, the four of us plus a lesbian friend went to the porn store she was at and paid 20 bucks each to get a picture taken with her topless. The lesbian chick actually got topless with her and they felt each other up for her picture. Unfortunately, my picture got ganked somehow during the weekend.

Saturday, 12/11/1999 First Union Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA

Same here, that weekend was awesome. We met Ginger Lynn that weekend. I remember the setbreak wave was unbelievable.

:hereitisyousentimentalbastard Yeah, we saw her name on a billboard while driving into Philly and we all looked at each other and said " we are meeting that bitch tomorrow". So the next day, the four of us plus a lesbian friend went to the porn store she was at and paid 20 bucks each to get a picture taken with her topless. The lesbian chick actually got topless with her and they felt each other up for her picture. Unfortunately, my picture got ganked somehow during the weekend.


That is fucking amazing!!!

16 years ago today.  Bring in the DUDE.  12/13/97 was the only show I went to without having a ticket and ended up 2 rows up page side for face with my friend.  Also a wierd show cause there was an opening act, J Willis Pratt.  That was fairly horrendous, but the show was kick ass.

Hard to believe my first show was 16 years ago today. Almost half of my lifetime ago!!!!!! It was obviously not as hot as the rest of the '97 NYE run, but pretty damn solid for a warm up.

Let me just say this one time. I had tickets, a ride, and a free place to crash for this Roxy run and I did not go. I had only seen Phish twice at this point and didn't really think it was a big deal to miss a three night run in Atlanta. Big mistake!!

I also was in Texas and didn't do the run that included the Bomb Factory show. My other big regret.

That is all.


QuoteSaturday, 02/20/1993
Roxy Theatre, Atlanta, GA

Set 1: Golgi Apparatus, Foam, The Sloth, Possum > Weigh > All Things Reconsidered, Divided Sky, The Horse[1] > Silent in the Morning > Fluffhead, Cavern

Set 2: Wilson[2] > Reba > Tweezer -> Walk Away -> Tweezer > Glide > Mike's Song[3] -> My Mind's Got a Mind of its Own[4] -> Mike's Song > I Am Hydrogen -> The Vibration of Life -> Kung -> I Am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove -> Have Mercy[4] -> Weekapaug Groove -> Rock and Roll All Nite Jam[5] -> Weekapaug Groove, Fast Enough for You > Big Ball Jam > Hold Your Head Up > Terrapin > Hold Your Head Up -> Harry Hood, Tweezer Reprise

Encore: Sleeping Monkey

[1] Trey on acoustic guitar.
[2] Simpsons signal.
[3] Minor lyric changes.
[4] Not played in its entirety.
[5] Chorus sung by Jay von Lehe.

Teases:
· Iron Man tease in Wilson
· Theme from Woody Woodpecker tease in Reba
· Low Rider and Straight Out the Sewer jams in Tweezer
· Tweezer tease in Glide
· Tweezer, Wilson, Reba, The Lizards, and Stash teases in Mike's Song
· Entrance of the Gladiators and NO2 teases in I Am Hydrogen
· Hold Your Head Up tease in Terrapin

Notes: The Horse featured Trey on acoustic guitar. This long version of Wilson included a Simpsons signal and, towards the end, a freakish jam that included an Iron Man tease from Mike. Reba included a tease of the theme from Woody Woodpecker. Tweezer had a Low Rider jam and Straight Out the Sewer quotes from Trey. Glide subsequently included Tweezer teases. Mike's Song featured minor lyric changes, three different Tweezer teases, two different Wilson teases, and other teases of Reba, Lizards, and Stash. During Hydrogen before the Vibration of Life, Mike teased Entrance of the Gladiators. After Kung, Mike quoted NO2. The Rock and Roll All Nite jam was for fan Jay von Lehe, dressed as Kiss' Gene Simmons, who the band brought on stage to sing the song's chorus. Terrapin featured band intros and lots of chatter from Fish, prompting a hurry-up HYHU tease from Page. Fish also performed a lengthy vacuum solo during this tune. The HYHU outro segued into Hood as Fish and Trey switched places. Neither Have Mercy (first since Halloween, 1986, or 670 shows) nor MMGAMOIO were played in their entirety. Walk Away was played for the first time since November 2, 1991 (159 shows). This show was released as part of the Phish At The Roxy box set.

I got turned around on the highway by a state trooper.  In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't hike 10+ miles with gear to have the pleasure of attending. I caught the two Great Woods shows that week, and I was, and remain, content with that.

what weird trip for sure... pretty sure there was alot of rain... that'd explain the Bertha,  and we all got shut out night 1 except my home boy slOMAR that i talked about from the philly show gate busting incident the previous fall--- dude was the KING of getting in shows no matter what.

once we knew there wasnt going to be many tix that 1st night he fucking Bribed a yellow coat security dude for his coat and then just walked in the backstage door, lol--awesome.

after the show he brought back a ton of random  momentos from Jerrys room including the sign with his name on it and some matches, smokes, guitar picks i think... or somethin :smoke:  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

This was early '98.  I got a kick out of the rumors page...

In 1998, Phish will produce an album early in the year, which makes a spring tour unlikely.

There will be a Halloween show next year, most likely they won't cover an album though

If you click rumors under that you get some interesting tid bits too

http://web.archive.org/web/19980110140218/http://gadiel.com/phish/rumors.html

QuoteApparently Phish recently performed a (record setting) 24 hour jam at a friends home in Vermont. No tapes will be circulated for now. Fishman was quoted as saying, "We reached a level of musical Zen that we have never achieved before!".
Phish's Asst. Production Manager can confirm this event occured.

QuoteAt the MSG shows, the curfew is 11:30 PM with a 5 minute grace period. When they had gone over this time on 12/30, they realized that they had already incurred an $11,000 extra charge for the next hour, hence the reason they played until 12:20 or so.

ha!  yeah, i remember crushing the onsale.  all 4 shows went onsale on the same morning and with my dad's help, i scored a pair for each of the 4 nights via the phone.  this was one of the only times i got tix via the phone.  boom!  it was meant to be.

#4: Phish announced the Island Tour on February 24, just 37 days before the start of the run and a mere four days before tickets went on sale.

I had an ear infection at those shows and felt like shit but it was so worth it.
I did  a weekend of shows with a massive ear infection. Spent most of the nights lying on lawn wishing I'd stayed
Home. Not much fun.

Our motel was one of the worst I've stayed in (aside from post Pittsburgh '95) and it was, like the venue, at no particular place other than the intersection of two big roads.
That was probably one of my more sober runs due to my illness. I didn't want to indulge too heavily for fear that it might make things (seem) worse.

yeah our hotel was super facist.
they had locked off floor that you had to be buzzed into- id never seen security like that for such a po dunk hotel in the early 90s.
and they had cameras everywhere so we were super paranoid.
Richfield was a notoriously conservative area where many many heads ended up serving long sentences from being busted at shows there.

and yeah, i def didnt have any good buzzes that run. im sure if the party favors had been better i might rank the shows much higher on my list of favs.
but once we got the tapes is really when i fell in love with the show i saw. i actually think i didnt enjoy the show all the much at the time.

Caught my first Dead show 20 years ago today.  To call it a life-altering experience would be a serious understatement.  :syf:

I have mostly been disappointed upon giving my attended Dead shows a re-listen.  This one so far is not bad.  In fact, it's much better than I was expecting.  I probably haven't listened to it more than twice, most recently probably 15 years ago...

nice bro.
one of my top show career regrets was not jumping in my friends car when half of our group headed to NY after Richfield instead of back to Richmond.


ps: its funny you said "life altering" ... sometimes im not sure if people really understand how serious we are when we say that about dead shows. :-D :syf:

The announcement that Phish would play Bonnaroo, and on their reunion tour no less, was a bit of a surprise to me.

I kept holding out hope that, as Roo late-night acts are sometimes wont to do, Phish would blow past their scheduled end time and just play on and on, unrestrained by usual commercial venue rules and curfews. Alas, no.

I remember enjoying Stealing Time (first time live for me), DWD, Highway to Hell, and the YEM -> Wilson move that the crowd goaded the band into.

KDF was probably the set's most notable jam, except for most of that I was distracted by this incredibly fucked up chick who borrowed my cell phone in a very vain attempt to locate someone in her party. At one point I had to ask for my phone back and she proceeded to argue with me that it was actually hers. Thanks a lot, lady.

19th anniversary of my first show.  fuck i'm old.

That show was pretty cool. Listened to set two just yesterday. Solid Bowie and all that.

We had the fun there.

Why was I so dumb back then instead of being at that show

EDIT:  the same could be said for many shows.

You have no idea.

And I'm just talking about Deer Creek! :tte: :tte: :tte:

These two shows should get me nice and amp'd to see them back at the Mann again. Or lead to massive disappointment, you know, whatever.

However, like pieguy last fall in Woosta, I am going to exorcise those demons by attending a show there this summer.  Staying on topic, my return to the Mann will coincide with the 20th anniversary of my first show.

20 years ago today I witnessed the Run Like a Diseased Antelope! Only 13 at the time, but I knew that that was a special thing that happened there. Unlike the year prior at my first show where I was too young and naive to appreciate the Murat Gin as it happened.

The Reba isn't half bad either.

Nah, man.. This one is the real deal..

Case in point, my buddy has been wearing a ring for the past 10 months, a fucking engagement ring..   :shakehead:

This is a sad, sad day

I have never heard of such a thing.  Interesting.

Funny, I dated a chick in college that wore one of those... she was definitely crazy but in more of a drunken, slutty maniac kind of way

20 years ago began my Summer '94 run-
- 2 nights at home @ RFk>> 3 nights @ Deer Creek >> 2 nights @ Soldier Field  (...Buckeye Lake)

The RFK shows were pretty low key but the one thing i remember was getting a single hit of some super paper, for i think the second night, and having one of my most intense trips. I remember sitting alone waaay up in the nose bleeds Phil side during drumz space and thinking the stage looked like a giant alien boom box or something... and then ending up on Shakedown post show hitting a balloon that caused everything to start spinning backwards in front of me until someone i knew snapped me out of it and I decided i needed to retrace my steps backwards to find my car.

That was my second show of the Summer (following Highgate which was an all-around great experience).
It was also my third RFK show with a CR&S opener (91, 92 and this).

The next night had an Eyes that was, shall we say, disappointing.

That said, things overall were fun and there was some decent playing (along with some not so-decent playing). These shows marked the first time I had doubts about seeing as much Grateful Dead as I was seeing.

16 years ago, Riverport Gin.

That is still my favorite opener I've ever seen.
i was shut out & it even sounded good from the Lot.  :mrgreen:


--meant to post yesterday as well-- day late, but 20 years ago was my last Dead show.  :syf:
buckeye lake, OH. 7-29-94.
(-i was shut out of the Philly 'unbroken chain' show the next spring-which would be my last 'lot')

after hitting Rfk, deer creek, and chicago i headed back to noVa, and after a few shifts delivering pizza i had enough cash to take RJ's ticket to go with one of our friends back out to Ohio.
buckeye was one of the coolest, if not the coolest venues i ever went to. basically a bunch of cow fields for parking/ camping, and then a big hill with a stage at the bottom for the show. camping over night in the lot of a dead show was an awesome experience that ive never topped.
i had slept over night between shows on teh soldier field lot, but that was just b/c i passed out on the pavement . buckeye was legit all night party in the lot. its the closest i ever got to the awesomeness i always imagined a show like Veneta 72 had, venue wise that is.

i remember getting to the exit for the show and traffic being backed up for miles from the highway to the show.
after being stuck a few hours i finally decided to bail on teh car and walk to the show to meet a girl at will call i had been chillin with earlier in the tour... mind you pre cell phone days meeting up at a dead show could be quite the task.

when i left the car it was clear, hot summer day. i was wearing cut off shorts and a t shirt.
i made it to will call and pretty much camped out there til the show started.
sometime before the shows start the weather turned from 90 clear and sunny to about 40 or 50 with the biggest plains storm i think i'd ever seen just roll down over the fields. shit got super intense and i was freezing so i bought a trash bag from some entrepreneurial head for a dollar.
Kristen never showed, so i ended up into the show a few songs late. missed the Rain opener, but heard most everything.
overall not a great show playing wise, but the environment was still hella fun, especially with all the mud once the storm passed.
i remember passing my pipe around at one point and it got snagged by a security person who i then followed around for the rest of the show trying to get it back from him. eventually he caved and i think i got it back for a dollar, lol.

after partying all night in the lot i remember waking up with a cow outside my car window staring at me.
then there was a bunch of crazy mudslides people where trying to get cars and buses out of that was quite a scene.

My show-club post regarding the show that happened 21 years ago tonight... a fun read (for me anyway).

Quote from: PG on October 09, 2012, 03:50:43 PM
Warning: Long post filled with nostalgia ahead!!

So, this show was at Starwood Amphitheatre, which was a typical summer  shed (very similar to Lakewood or Walnut Creek) that is no longer there.  This was not on the main stage, though. They set up a temporary stage out where the concession stands and bathrooms all were... basically up at the top of the lawn. It was the same area where they put the second stage for the Lollapalooza shows that took place there.

They were scheduled to play the same place the following year but the show was moved to the main stage due to rain. That was pretty cool, too, actually. The pavilion was less than half full and 100% general admission. Definitely a show worth checking out for the "If I Could" with Alison Kraus.

On a personal note - I was in Nashville for summer school sessions at Vandy. I was taking a photography class to get my GPA up high enough to be allowed to stay in school. It was one of the best summers of my life. I went to this show with my big sister, my buddy Nate, and this girl I was hooking up with who ended up being my sister's maid of honor for her first wedding. She had huge cans and introduced me to Koyannisqatsi.  :wtu:

This show was also my first experience with paper. I had 1 or 2 nights with boomers before, but never paper. It was intense. I remember almost every moment with complete clarity. I spent the entire second set dancing on a picnic table with a cute hippie girl I never saw again after that night. The picnic table was about 25 yards from the stage so I had a completely unobstructed view of the stage from 4 feet above the heads of the entire crowd.

Add to that, CK5 had just added the new "robotic" lights to the rig for the first time.  They debuted 2001 at the beginning of the tour and it served as a showcase for the new lights. In fact, Kuroda wouldn't even use the new lights until the second set each night on this tour so that 2001 was this big intro to them. Everyone was talking about it on rec.music.phish, so I was expecting it... then the first show I saw that summer was at the Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville and it was the first show with no 2001 after 11 straight. Needless to say, my mind was immediately blown from the opening notes of Set 2.

All told - An EPCOT night in the life of young Pie-Guy. On to the review:




- set 1 / disc 1 -

01. Contact - OK, this story is sort of told in the show notes... here's my version... before the show started, we were Fish side right next to this chain-link fence that separated the crowd from the makeshift "backstage" area. We see the band being driven to the stage on golf carts (I guess from the dressing rooms by the main stage). The first golf cart has Mike in the passenger seat with his bass in his hands. We see him and start cheering. He smiles and starts playing his bass... which is wireless, so everyone can hear it. However, If you weren't right against this fence, there was no way you could see him, so most people had no clue what was happening. That's why you hear Mike alone for a while on this recording before the rest of the band joins in... Trey then does the same thing when he pulls up. So you'll hear the two of them for a minute until finally they are all onstage and playing Contact. Pretty cool.

02. Llama - Now the show starts "for real." Solid rockin' Llama.

03. Horn - I love this song - not much to report other than well-played version.

03. Uncle Pen - A Bill Monroe classic played very near where Monroe was living at the time... a tip of the hat, if you will. Played fast and furious with great solos from Mike and Page. Fantastic!

04. Stash - Jam starts out interesting - also, this is where I really started to realize things were happening in my brain and body. An early mini-peak for me at the show. I really got lost in this jam. It was the first time that had ever happened to me in any context. Intense memory just listening to it now. About 8 minutes in they lock into a pattern similar to the ALO version. Whew. So good. I miss Stashes like this one. It peaks brilliantly, then they take it down to almost nothing to end it. Wow. One of my favorite Stashes of all time.

05. Esther - pins and needles from that quiet Stash ending - people are listening. Great placement of Esther. Played exceptionally well by all four. A song that benefited tremendously from Page's newly added baby grand.

06. Chalkdust Torture - short and rocking. Classic CDT

07. I Didn't Know - Madonna washboard solo - no vacuum. Fun!

08. Reba - They take the jam down to almost nothing right away. So quiet. Again, Page's baby grand sounds amazing here. You can just tell he loves playing those little trills up high that would have sounded like crap on the old keyboard. After that quiet segment, they get right to the rocking - almost no build-up between the two. Still, a great Reba with great quiet section and a smoking final jam.

09. Cavern - Sounds like a set closer to me!

- set 2 /

01. Also Sprach Zarathustra > see my story above... this was my first time hearing this song (other than the Strauss version from 2001, obviously). The lights were incredible. The spaceship launched and off we went... and they drop right into...

02. Tweezer - This Tweezer is interesting. It is unrelenting. It rocks loud and proud until the very end when the "slow down" eases into Trey on acoustic - not as smooth a transition as the Mikes->Horse from 12/30/93, but still a pretty cool transition where he takes the theme he was playing on electric and continues it on acoustic.

03. The Horse > Silent in the Morning - Love Horse on acoustic guitar. Sounds so sweet.

04. Poor Heart - Lightning fast! So tight on these tunes back in 93. Page, especially, sounds great here!

05. Fluffhead - this song just bristled with energy back in the early 90's, didn't it? Sofa king great! Also, I love the acoustic outtro. This is the only time I saw Trey do that, I think. Can't think of another show I was at where he did. And he eases right into...

06. My Friend - again, I think this is the only time I saw Trey do this on acoustic. Sounds fantastic. Actually, let me say that I think Trey's acoustic guitar sounded better in 1993 than it ever did when he busted it out in later years. I don't know what's different about it, but it sounds great.

07. Golgi Apparatus - the first of three "set closers" in a row. As with everything in this show, tight tight tight!!

08. Squirming Coil - My first time hearing Coil with the baby grand. I was mesmerized by Page from my perch on the picnic table.

09. David Bowie - a typically intense Bowie to close out the set. Solid!!

- encore -

10. Walk Away - Hard to complain about a rock and roll song like this one!!

11. Amazing Grace - How sweet the sound. I gave that cute hippie girl a big hug and off I went into the night with my crew.



Obviously, this show is special to me. It's one of the shows I point to when I try to figure out why I became so obsessed with Phish. It was one of those nights where nothing could have gone wrong no matter what. All the acoustic stuff is great. The Stash is extraordinary. The Reba, Tweezer, and Bowie are all top notch. The energy just never lets up.

A prime example of Phish in 1993. Solid A!

16 years ago, me and my bud Eric hopped in my black '86 Chevy Celebrity wagon and did our first lengthy run together.
Hit Polaris > Lemonwheel and drove some serious miles.
It was a great time to be seeing shows and we caught some fatties.
18 years old is a cool age.

Ten years ago yesterday was the only time I ever went to a show with my girlfriend (now wife) and the only time I ever left early.

She had not partaken in the grass in about 4 years when she decided to have some brownie before the show.  Unfortunately, she liked the way it tasted and had 1.5 brownies instead of the 1/2 I recommended.  A couple of quotes from the night:

GF: These brownies are laced.
Me: Yup, with pot.
GF: No, there is something else.  I can feel it.
Me: Nope.  Hey Riff (GF's best friend who made the brownies)...did you lace the brownies?
Riff:  Uhh...yeah...with pot.
Me: So there you go.

GF (during 1st set): I TOTALLY get why people would want to go and experience this every night and drive all around chasing the band.  It's just doing nothing for me right now.  Like...NOTHING.

She tossed her proverbial cookies on my feet once they started up ASIHTOS, and I took her out to the treed area around Great Woods.  The Piper sounded good from out there, and she was much better sitting at a picnic table away from the fray.

Perhaps the best part of the night was that she and I had just moved in together a week before, and I didn't know the area at all and she was pretty out there.  It was an adventure finding home after the show...

Thanks for sharing pcr, my wife had a similar experience the last time she indulged in edibles.  She decided to feed her munchie cravings with more cookies.  I kept warning her but she would forget 5 minutes later and be digging into them again.  It was pretty funny to watch unfold but she said it was unpleasant after awhile.  That was in the Spring and she hasn't tried them since.  It's kind of too bad since she really enjoyed them the few times before.  Moderation is key with those.

Same story on my end. Her friend made them too tasty. Sadly, that was the sole time she has gotten high since we met. I ate 2 for the show... 8-)

I kinda feel like without the exact dosage, it's moot.  It's like people talking about just eating a ten strip instead of the mic amount.  Not to deter from the story, but not knowing if it was 100mg versus 400mg of THC, doesn't really add the factor of just how fucking hard your gf (now wife) was tripping face.  And I know lot purchased goods aren't going to be exact, nor do I expect most people who concoct edibles to do the math to know dosage.  So strong is a pretty variable term.

The tolerance and size of the person plays a part when dealing with THC levels in edibles as well.

And RJ, let's have it.

16 years ago today....

8-11-1998
Star Lake, PA

Set 1: Trench Town Rock > Julius, Wolfman's Brother -> Time Loves a Hero, Bittersweet Motel, Reba, The Sloth, Ginseng Sullivan, Fee > Maze, Sample in a Jar

Set 2: Runaway Jim, Meat > Limb By Limb, When the Circus Comes > Down with Disease

Encore: Wilson > Golgi Apparatus


My 25th show and 7th up to that point in the summer, good stuff.  Was late getting to the show for whatever reason and walked in during the intro to Trench Town Rock.  Loved the show then and now, one of the best summers of my life.  The cherry on top was my decent pavilion seat and the fact were still  heading to Vernon Downs and The Lemonwheel thereafter. To be 18 again!  I'd do many things to be able to experience that summer over again with my now 34 year old frame of mind.

Holy shit, I'm just now noticing that that is our car in the center of the pic.  The black Corolla was mine and the blue Civic was the rest of our crew.  We crashed on the side of the road for a couple hrs in the night.  Pretty sure that's me in the yellow shirt sitting in the chair behind the chick.  That's too funny.

I ended up hiking in helping carry these dudes beer cooler.  They offered beer to me to help carry, but once they realized that I kept drinking their weekend away they split off when i stopped to tie my shoe.  Pretty sure they had maybe half a case left by the time I left.  Suckers.

Wow.  Hard to believe it's been 10 years.  I flew into Philly from Little Rock(I was down there for a year long job) after work and met a bunch of friends after that Camden show at the airport.  I was pretty bummed that I couldn't take the time from work to make it up in time for Camden.  Especially after seeing the setlist and hearing about the show, but was still pumped to be out of Arkansas for the first time in months and on my way to see Phish for a few days with friends.  The plan was that I was going to pick up the rental car, drive to the venue, pick up the group, and head up to Vermont.  I didn't have a credit card at this point in my life and was told that it would still be ok to rent a car.  FAIL.  So, getting in touch with everyone was damn near impossible after the show.  We all know what a cluster that can be.  Somehow, we managed to get the group together, they cabbed it over to the airport, and the one person in the group with a credit card rented the car.  We had paid for a mid-size car, but the guy at the counter offered us a Plymouth Aztec or a Chevy Blazer for no additional charge.  We all decided that we were def. going to take the free upgrade given the amount of stuff we had, the extra room would come in handy for the long drive.  But we also decided that none of us could see ourselves ever buying an Aztec, so when would we ever have the chance to drive one again?  At the time, we just thought it was nice to have the extra space, but this obviously proved to be massive given the clusterfuck we were driving into.  We drove through the night to get up there, which also ended up being a great decision because we missed a large portion of the traffic and made the cut by a long shot.  With that said, we still sat in traffic for 24 hours or so.  The person directing traffic told us to "drive as far as we possibly could and we'll figure it out later".  Fuck it, we floored it until we were stopped by the mud.  Because of this, we had plenty of space in the middle of this field to set up camp and were surrounded by beautiful mountains.   We partied so hard on the "ride" in, that we were exhausted for the first show.   What an interesting weekend.  There was so much emotion, anger, passion, etc. by everyone involved.  Band and fans alike.    I am still convinced that if there hadn't been a perfect storm that descended upon us that weekend, it would've been incredible.  Alot of things would've been very different.  The music probably still would've been rough, but Instead, well, everything was such a mess.     

ETA: I forgot this.  On my flight home, the pilot's chair was malfunctioning so we sat on the tarmac in Philly for about an hour and a half with no AC.  I felt really bad for the people sitting next to me on that plane.  I can only imagine how badly I stunk.     :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

5 years since this gem

   Friday, 08/14/2009   
The Comcast Theatre, Hartford, CT

Soundcheck: "Lamp Post Song"

Set 1: Punch You In the Eye, AC/DC Bag > NICU, Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird, Birds of a Feather, Lawn Boy, Stash, I Didn't Know, Middle of the Road, Character Zero

Set 2: Down with Disease[1] > Wilson > Slave to the Traffic Light, Piper > Water in the Sky, Ghost -> Psycho Killer -> Catapult -> Icculus[2] > You Enjoy Myself

this show was a huge turning point in my phish seeing career and really put a lot of wind in my sails so to speak for the years to come.

also I remember a shooting star going over during that slave and this wook dude turning around and going "that actuall happened right? and im not just really spun?" and we all laughed and were like yeah that def happened man.  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard That Darien through Spac run was so much fun.

Yeah that was the only down show that whole run

i remember watching this webcast.  it was crappy and so was my monitor, but it worked and was pretty cutting edge at the time.  i bought a plane ticket to san francisco the next day...

QuoteSet 1: Walfredo, The Curtain With, Maze, Roggae, I Didn't Know[1], Mike's Song > Simple > Saw It Again, Esther[2] > Weekapaug Groove
Set 2: Timber (Jerry), AC/DC Bag, Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird[3], Twist > Sand > A Day in the Life
Encore: Emotional Rescue
[1] Referenced Kid Rock's sidekick Joe C.
[2] Flubbed lyrics for the final verse, ending with Trey proclaiming: "She died. Dead."
[3] Narration referenced the band's upcoming hiatus.
Teases:
· San-Ho-Zay tease in Twist
Notes: Though the band came out in position for Walfredo, they were forced to pause due to technical difficulties. For the second show in a row, several breakouts dotted the setlist: Walfredo (first since February 22, 1997, or 248 shows), Esther (August 9, 1998, 146 shows), Forbin's and Mockingbird (August 7, 1998, 148 shows), A Day in the Life (July 3, 1998, 170 shows), and Emotional Rescue (July 28, 1998, 155 shows). The Mockingbird narration referenced the band's upcoming hiatus. I Didn't Know included a reference to Kid Rock's sidekick Joe C. Esther featured flubbed lyrics for the final verse, ending with Trey proclaiming: "She died. Dead." As the band returned for the second set, the crowd serenaded Trey with Happy Birthday. Twist contained San-Ho-Zay teases from Trey. Emotional Rescue included a bizarre synchronized duel on-stage between Trey and Mike. This show was webcast live and subsequently released in its entirety as the band's first full concert DVD, Live in Vegas.

I hosted a party at my parents house (even though I'd moved out a couple years before), brought the computer upstairs and connected it to the big stereo.

Being able to see wasn't as important as hearing the music, but I sort of remember seeing the band on my 4x3 monitor.

I seem to recall a pizza delivery guy coming in and staying for A Day In The Life.

20 years ago today I was at a family wedding on the Jersey shore, but this story is somewhat relevant to the thread if you follow along...

The only way my broke college ass could get down to NJ from Boston was to put together a series of hitched rides.  The first one was from Boston to Lehigh, then I had a ride from Lehigh to Philly, then I had a ride from Philly to my folks' place in south Jersey.  This all needed to happen on Friday 10/7 in order for me to go to my cousin's wedding early on 10/8 and not miss any classes.

So, my ride from Boston to Lehigh was from friends who were driving down for the tour opener.  As we got close to the school, we started joking about how soon after parking I'd be offered LSD.  It was funny because once we parked, I was basically going to book it from the car and the parking lot to a friend of a friend's dorm room in order to get on the next leg of my journey.  The window to be offered LSD was going to be about a minute or two before I was totally away from that scene.  I jokingly said 10 seconds, and everyone else made their guess.  So, we park, I open the door, and before I even set foot on the ground, I am offered hits.  A lot of laughs from my friends ensued.  I think it was 3 for $5 or 4 for $10.  I said fuck it, I'll buy some acid to have around when I want to trip.  Transaction done, I'm off on the next leg of the trip.

I finally get to my folks' place around midnight and it's just me, my brother, and his buddy.  We start drinking, I tell them the story, they laugh, after another beer or two, my brother basically says "we're taking the LSD right now".  OK.  So, we drop around 2am or so, knowing that my sister is coming to pick us up and drive us down the shore at 6:30 am.  The story ends with me and my brother tripping balls at the wedding, first time ever doing that around my parents.  My mom to this day is amazed that we held it together as well as we did that day.  Anyhow, that is the closest I got to a show on fall  :phish: tour that year.

I totally agree, though I have not listened to enough of that fall tour to speak knowledgably about it.

I have been meaning to relisten to this and post in jedi's fall 99 thread, but I only made it theough the first set before being distracted. Anyhow, listening back, I'm still amazed at that first set. It was ballsy to basically play all new stuff prior to the epic Stash. Thinking back, I remember being totally engaged by the new (to me) songs, which was like seeing a new band for the first time. It was exciting. I also fucking love the Roggae/Vultures combo, which we would see again the following summer in Hartford.

I'll spare you guys my story from the Knick that night.

That's a big ditto. I was Page side, lower bowl, and a friend of mine (may he RIP) turned to me and said, "I'm not so sure about what a Jibboo is, but that was a lot of fun to dance to". I also remember the evil red lights during Vultures.

10-19-96 Buffalo, NY

I traded an extra for what looked like some dank nugs but they turned out to be that legal weed stuff.
Didn't work, but my schwag joints did.

Pretty solid show and kicked off a quick three night run for my then 17 yr old self.
Also, the furthest (8 hrs) I had travelled for the band at that point.

I took a bus to and from that show. Crossing the border on the bus was weird.

I pulled the old Ticketmaster reprint scam and miracled 2 people into the show.

19 years ago...

-I'd been looking forward to this day for awhile.
-It was a little bit awkward.
-It was a little embarrassing.
-It was over in what seemed like no time.
-Once I did it, there was no going back.  I was somehow different afterwards.
-After it was over, I wanted to do it again and again as often as possible.

a couple days late, but worth mentioning-

one of my favorite attended shows.
great small venue and lysergic energy.
my 4th show and the first one that really got me hooked


  10/27/1994
University Hall, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA


Set 1: Wilson, Sparkle, Maze, Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird -> The Vibration of Life -> Fly Famous Mockingbird > Divided Sky[1], The Horse > Silent in the Morning, Poor Heart, Cavern

Set 2: Julius, Ya Mar, Tweezer > Contact > Big Black Furry Creature from Mars, Down with Disease, Sweet Adeline

Encore: Slave to the Traffic Light -> Icculus, Tweezer Reprise[2]

[1] All Fall Down signal.
[2] Extended ending.

Notes: Divided Sky contained an All Fall Down signal. Miscommunication within the student-run venue staff led to a premature signaling for the second set to end. Following an extended break to "discuss" the matter with staff, the band returned for an unusually long encore. Tweezer Reprise featured an atypical extended ending.

Yeah, that Louisville Gardens show is still one of my favorite "regular" shows ever. Everything just crackles with energy. The Bowie is so tight it's almost Stash-like in the jam. One of my favorites. And... Shaggy Doooog. walkin' down. He walked all around.

Starting a 2 night stand at Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland.  The only phish shows that have been in walking distance from where I lived, a 10 min walk at the time.  Not only was that amazing but so was the weather.  Both days it was in the low 60s, which is obviously rediclulous for Maine in the Winter.  This lead to party time through out Portland, and throughout the lots!!!!  I remember having so much fun.  Both shows were fire, the Halley's and Bathtub Gin > Simple > Free on 12/7.  Even with a mid 2nd set Jennifer Dance, it doesn't matter that show is pure fire listening back.  Then on 12/8 we got another gem with a great Ya Mar, Piper, and a YEM with probably the best vocal jam I have ever witnessed.  Wow 15 years flies, but looking back I am so grateful to have caught those shows, especially since I wasn't able to make it to Big Cypress.  Lots of great listening to get to.

Two days ago was the anniversary of this one:

QuoteSaturday, 12/05/2009   
John Paul Jones Arena, Charlottesville, VA

Set 1: AC/DC Bag > Chalk Dust Torture, Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan, Divided Sky, Ya Mar[1], Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley, The Old Home Place > Cavern > Funky Bitch, David Bowie, The Wedge, Bold As Love

Set 2: Tweezer -> Light > Piper -> Free, Sweet Virginia, Harry Hood > Suzy Greenberg > Golgi Apparatus, Run Like an Antelope[1]

Encore: Loving Cup > Tweezer Reprise

[1] Alternate lyrics referencing a naked stage crasher.

The snow that kicked in during the drive up was a nice touch. Had a couple beers at a local brewpub beforehand and then enjoyed this solid tour closer. Light offered the top jam of the night, and the Naked Guy antics in Ya Mar and Antelope had the crowd lathered up. Even this Golgi is noteworthy for Mike's bass problems, which led to him singing the bass part's on Trey's request, and a make-up solo after the technical difficulties were over.

One of the best 2 night runs I ever witnessed. Was riding the rail both nights, that place was tiny compared to my other Phish festy experiences.
I've probably mentioned this elsewhere on here but we were rolling at the front before the show started and one of the security guys starts flipping at us and was trying to grab the bag from us. I just drop it to the ground and kick it behind me, guy behind us does the same and the guy behind him. We thought, there goes our 1/4. So we rage the first set and are walking back during setbreak when a dude just comes up to us and says 'I believe this is yours' and hands us our bag of nugs. Such an awesome moment as we did not feel like searching for more.
The scene outside the CCCC was wild, I don't think I witnessed a single cop in the area. The weather was great, slept in the car the first night and wasn't cold at all.

i was in the first few rows of section 204.  phish side, close to the stage, off the floor.  a favorite spot of mine.  the show was sold out at like 11,000 people.  it was a small arena.  no behind the stage.  no 300 level.  it was way more intimate than the palace the night before.  i was blown away by the palace show.  but this show kicked its ass.  i loved this show!  from the opening note of the first set, band and crowd were one.  there was a ton of energy in the room and they brought the heat.  so tight.  so special. 

i sold an extra ticket outside the venue on the way in for $20.  if you could attend this show scotty, would you pay $20?  :-D

i was in the first few rows of section 204.  phish side, close to the stage, off the floor.  a favorite spot of mine.  the show was sold out at like 11,000 people.  it was a small arena.  no behind the stage.  no 300 level.  it was way more intimate than the palace the night before.  i was blown away by the palace show.  but this show kicked its ass.  i loved this show!  from the opening note of the first set, band and crowd were one.  there was a ton of energy in the room and they brought the heat.  so tight.  so special. 

i sold an extra ticket outside the venue on the way in for $20.  if you could attend this show scotty, would you pay $20?  :-D

Funny thing is, even though I was in attendance for this show, I don't really remember it, with my only memories coming from having listened to the tapes many times. I think it has to do with being sandwiched by so many other WHOA! shows. Or I'm simply getting older.  :frustrated:

On this night in 1995, I concluded a 17 show run at Lake Acid. Unquestionably, the  2+ weeks were one of the highest points in my life. And on this particular night, everything in my universe was absolutely perfect. Could not have asked for anything more. Perfection. Sadly, with every passing year, I remember a little less from this run. As such, it is a bitter sweet anniversary.

That was my first show, I remember geeking out at the Pie t-shirt (clearly visible from my spot on the floor)


Also that Fluffhead might be the hardest I've ever raged during any show and I was dead sober that night. Good times.

I was thinking about 3/6 yesterday.  How it felt like just yesterday.  And how time flies.  And from Phish coming back how I met so many friends, and had so many unique experiences.  I met so many of you on 3/6/09.  I know I will never forget the feeling as Fluffhead started.  How it hit me, how it made me feel.  Watching the band and the 12,000 people in there sync up like some fucking cosmic orgasm at the opening notes of it.  Though I haven't always been a fan of what they do now, I am actually very grateful they came back, because of the overall positivism it brought to my life, and for the people it brought into my life.

Ditto. I've never felt so much energy/electricity/joy in a room as that moment.

It was incredibly special to be with some of my best friends and have my all-time favorite song (and sometimes nickname when I grow my fro out) be the first song I ever heard them play. I was in utter disbelief.

20 years ago today, I was driving to Philly with my gf and SLiM to try to get into the third night of  :syf: at the Spectrum. Igbo was there with a couple of our other friends and they had been trying (not too successfully, iirc) to get into the first two shows.
I didn't have a lot of money but I did have something to trade.

My dumbass gf forgot her shoes ("you woke me too early to leave") and was complaining that her feet hurt from walking around seeking a ticket. I left her sitting somewhere, found my ticket, and went in alone.

the other side of that story is how i got shut out of my last trip to a dead show.
what a crazy day/night that was.

i will never forget seeing a ton of old heads coming out of the Spectrum after the 1st set just totally faced upon the fact that they played chain and the world must be ending or something, heh.



speaking of girlfiends with shoe problems, does anyone here remember me and gina on further in 97?  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard
bitch lost her shoe while we were on the highway stuck in construction... yes, she lost her only shoe for tour on the way to the first show while playing around in traffic on 95, smh.
and knowing gina it turned into a whole fiasco for the rest of the run.
I think that was the tour that when we got home i threw spagetti all over the wall before i broke up with her,  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

20 years ago tonight was the Mud Island Tweezer. What an insane show. Had a great night. It was my first taste of the "phamily" X that I would enjoy just about all summer long. Mud Island is a very cool venue, too. Loved everything about this show. Can't fucking believe that whole tour was twenty years ago! Fuck, I'm old!

Speaking of... Zzyzx had a regular column in the Surrender to the Flow tour rag called "Twenty Years Later" where he discussed the tour that happened twenty years earlier. Well, he stepped down from it and I wrote that column for this summer. Keep an eye out for it.

After reading your story again, I can't remember if I've told you how the Shakedown got its name -
Actually, it was Emmerich's [hand-me-down, family] station wagon that was the original Shakedown. His sister was a 'Head backNtheday - I think she went to a few of the early 80s Hampton shows, since they lived in VA Beach back then. Anyway, she put this sticker on one of the rear windows of their family car. For years, we didn't know exactly what it was. Once we got into  :syf: in middle school, one of us got the Shakedown Street album and "whoa!" look what we found on the back cover.
(https://www.squaredealonline.com/acc/39164.gif)
... So once we turned 16 and began driving old family station wagons, we called his car the ShakedownMobile. However, Jamey's handmedownstationwagon wound up seeing a lot more action - more epic nights, more people in & out of it,  :smoke:, booty action, etc. We even beat Emmerich's car in a race late one night when we pulled up next to him (across the double-yellow) and I yelled out my window that shit was on. After this race, and conceitedly deciding Jamey's car was cooler, we started calling Jamey's stationwagon The Shakedown. Mainly to piss Emmerich off with a gesture of bold-faced disrespect. I mean, Jamey's car didn't have any GD stickers on it. But we kept calling it that, and from that point on, Emmerich's car was just "Emmerich's car."
Teenagers can be such jerks to their friends sometimes.  :hereitisyousentimentalbastard

I had posted this on the 15th but obviously the wifi was not up to snuff and it didn't go through.

It was 20 years ago on June 15th that I walked onto shakedown street for the first time in my life at Highgate, VT, which opened such an unknown world of the Grateful Dead to me. My father took my brother and I cause he had an idea of the shitshow that would ensue. All I knew was the music, I hadn't read or learned anything about the scene that surrounded the band. Gotta say, even though I didn't partake in any of the debauchery at the time, that feeling and kinship took me by storm and I fell in love with this motley crew of heathens.

that car ride is etched in my unconscious. --"Here comes the beer!!"  :beerbang:
generally a crazy crazy day with a ton of the local heads present.
having Stan/diane's place 5 minutes from the venue was mint.

personally, i was fresh outta the psych ward after my near death experience and naturally tripping the entire day.
one of the last shows i ever saw completely sober, even though i was completely tweaked from mental stress, lol.

Let's just say, the rest is hstory.

I had a similar experience at my first show (7.12.89). We drove slowly around a turn to park the car (I had never heard of paying for parking, just to give you an idea of how naïve & unworldly I was). Like a  curtain being pulled back to reveal a vast circus already long in progress, the scene opened up to us all at once - first a couple seconds of the sound of an active lot, then the sudden vista of customized buses and campers. We didn't know the term "lot," and "Shakedown Street" was a nothing but a song/album title. I stood gobsmacked, not knowing what else to call ... it ... . We were almost afraid to set foot 'inside' - although a strict border would have been pretty hard to determine. There was a bit of nudging and you-go-first'ing, but once we got in there, the whole thing was one mindblower after another. We had read/heard a little bit about people actually going on tour, but those were suburban myths to us. To see it all in the flesh - everybody making art, selling art, hackey-sacking - brought unprecedented joy to our hearts. I called it "The Community" for a couple years. Everybody was energetic and super-stoked to see a show that night. I'd never been around so many people so looking forward to the same thing.
The irony is that those shows were the first time that RFK didn't allow overnight camping in the parking lot. So we couldn't comprehend the occasional complaints we overheard about TheMan cracking down on the scene. This was the free'est thing any of us had ever seen.

^ my first show.

Was in NY visiting my dad's side of the family at a family vacation out on Long Island. I had been talking with my cousin on and off about the Dead and Phish throughout the year (she started going to see phish in 99 and my parents mentioned it to me the summer before when they started seeing phish and grateful dead cds and music pop up around the house); she had sent me some tapes and CDs of shows. She told me I needed to go see them this summer as it was going to be their last summer as a band. She took me under her wing and brought me to this show from Westbury, NY out on Long Island where my grandparends lived at the time. I remember eating a handful of mushies in the lot and was blown away by the lot scene. I hadnt seen anything like that except a typical tailgate at sports games or Merrwieather (where I worked selling food at the time) but never for a jamband type show like GD or Phish. I dont remember much of the show was really surprised Jay z came out but I had just bought that Black Album that summer as well so I guess it made sense? haha. But I loved every minute of this show, just hearing the songs was exciting to me. I remember just being up in the top of the stands soaking everything in. Was a life changing experience to say the least.
Went to Camden later that summer with my friend and his dad. - Really really enjoyed that show

Twenty years ago I caught my first show. Still in pretty regular rotation for me today. Got it all cued up and ready to relive the day that completely changed the way I look at the world.

Also my first Show Club pick (http://week4paug.net/index.php?topic=18533.0) (remember Show Club?!?).

Quote
06/24/1995
The Mann Center for the Performing Arts, Philadelphia, PA

Set 1: Fee[1] > Rift, Spock's Brain, Julius, Glide, Mound, Stash, The Horse > Silent in the Morning, The Squirming Coil

Set 2: Also Sprach Zarathustra > Halley's Comet > David Bowie, Lifeboy, Suzy Greenberg, Harry Hood, Acoustic Army, Sweet Adeline, Golgi Apparatus

Encore: Bold As Love

[1] Trey sang verses through megaphone.

Teases:
· Lifeboy tease in Suzy Greenberg

Notes: Trey sang the verses of Fee through a megaphone. Suzy contained a Lifeboy tease from Trey. After Acoustic Army, Trey thanked the crowd for being so quiet. The band then proceeded to don surgical masks for Adeline. The masks were provided by a fan in the front – Trey thanked him for the "hats." The encore was preceded by Random Note and Simpsons signals.

I haven't been able to properly write about those two RFK shows. While not my final shows, RFK is special to me. I haven been listening to them for the past couple days and they have some solid playing and some sad blundering. I can still remember being blown away that Jerry gave us Black Muddy River, a song I'd thought was shelved forever and never to be played for me. I feel that Bruce pushed Jerry at these shows and the performances are stronger than a lot of the summer shows because of it.

The 6/25 show was worth it for the Shakedown (16min) alone. Also Jerry playing with Dylan while I was on the floor up front in the Phil Zone.

Cool stuff, rj.

It's crazy to me to think that after these shows, I hit Great Woods and Sugarbush the following weekend. I have no idea how I traveled to any of these shows or where I stayed. Your memory is impressive.

My first show was 20 years ago today.  :phish:

Set 1 festured the long awaited return of Camel Walk.
Set 2 got out there, but not as out there as some of the other Tweezers from Summer '95 (i.e. Mud Island or the Fleezer).
On the whole, an awesome first show, and one that I listen to often (especially since the AKG 391 recording surfaced - http://db.etree.org/shn/124108 - major thanks to Lenny for that digging that one up).  I haven't seen Ha Ha Ha since.

edit to add: http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=580694

Sunday, 07/02/1995
Summer Stage at Sugarbush, North Fayston, VT

Set 1: Sample in a Jar > Divided Sky, Gumbo, The Curtain > Julius, Camel Walk, Reba[1], I Didn't Know, Rift, While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Set 2: Runaway Jim -> Makisupa Policeman -> Scent of a Mule, Tweezer -> Ha Ha Ha > Sleeping Monkey, Acoustic Army, Slave to the Traffic Light
Encore: Halley's Comet > Tweezer Reprise

[1] No whistling.

Notes: This was a benefit show for the King Street Youth Center. The band brought back Camel Walk, which hadn't been played since February 24, 1989 (757 shows). Reba did not have the whistling ending and Trey announced during Makisupa that this was "4:20.... Day."

Phish 2000 was pretty good at creating a "wall of sound" screaming loops and guitar sound, which is on full display at this show... but you also get jams like the last 5 or 6 minutes of Mike's which is super ambient, lead by Mike and really heady.

Just read this write up and I feel I must point out that Guyute did not feature whistling until Halloween 1995.

No one did a thing for yesterday, but 10-07-2000.
The last time Phish sounded "normal" to me.
Also caught 10-07-94 and 10-07-99, both of which contain a ton of songs.
Also, the Maze from '94 is insane!

from the book of face....a day late but can still reminisce

"It was fifteen years ago today that Phish ended the longest era of being a band and took a hiatus. While it didn't have any Coventry-esque breakdowns (perhaps due to the fact that they were intentionally not calling it a final show, but just a break), it was an emotional night, especially when the lights came back on after the YEM encore - an appropriate end to that era - and the PA played Let It Be. It's not often that people remember the post show music, but that moment is imprinted in many people's memory forever."

I'll never understand why I attended 10/6/00 and not 10/7.

I guess I should just blame it on my girlfriend at the time. 

In any event, 10/7 is a great, great show and so consistent that you really can't point to much in the way of highlights, it's just front to back an outstanding performance and summation of 1.0.

I've always dug 10/7 although, like Hicks said, nothing really stands out. Just a solid Phish show.. Kinda like that Alpine Valley '00 Live Phish release.

Funny how Aug said this was the last time Phish sounded 'normal'. The difference between 1.0 and 2.0 is pretty... apparent. I wonder what they would've sounded like had they played through...

Also, it's interesting that 2.0 is lumped into its own "era" when it only lasted a year and a half! 3.0 has been 6 years strong already! Imagine if it had ended after summer 2010!!!

21 years ago... Perhaps the greatest encore I ever witnessed. The band encored with Highway to Hell... Left the stage... Crowd was so loud the band actually came back out for a second encore... Which started with an Oom pah pah.  Fuck yes!

Quote

Sunday, 10/16/1994
Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium, Chattanooga, TN

Set 1: Rift, Horn, Foam, Fee > Split Open and Melt, The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday > Avenu Malkenu > The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday, Axilla > Possum

Set 2: The Landlady > Poor Heart, Julius, Fluffhead > Big Ball Jam, Run Like an Antelope, Dog Faced Boy, Sweet Adeline, Sample in a Jar

Encore: Highway to Hell

Encore 2: Harpua

Notes: Trey sang the verses of Fee through a megaphone. Dog Faced Boy was acoustic and was, along with Sweet Adeline, performed without microphones. Before Dog Faced Boy, Trey introduced Fish for a "balloon and emotion solo...that will reach into your soul and rip your heart out of your body." Harpua included a Flash Light  jam and told of Jimmy attending a Bootsy Collins concert.

I agree, the energy was off the charts for those first 2 but I was kind of annoyed by the end of the next night. I think I started for the exit when I heard the opening notes. 4 Tweeprises in 2 nights, kaman!

I enjoyed the hell out of Camden '09. First Joy ever (WOO!) was fine, but I was disappointed when they started Bouncing cause I figured they'd just follow it with Reprise and call it a night. But when they went into Antelope the place went nuts. Haven't listened to it in I don't know how long, but it was a blast at the time.

Tickets cost $20.00 and the show was sold out. I'm Blue I'm Lonesome was performed acoustic with Trey on acoustic guitar, Mike on banjo, Page on upright bass and Fish on mandolin. The Simpsons secret language was played before Stash. Possum contained Dave's Energy Guide jamming. Makisupa Policeman included some alternate lyrics about Paluska and others. The band sang Sweet Adeline while turning in a circle facing different parts of the audience to personalize the delivery. After this show the band and crew traveled 255 miles overnight to Madison, Wisconsin.

Damn. 5 years ago.

I somehow managed to hit the Broomfield shows along with the entire NE portion of that tour while being full time in school. Only missed 2 days of class in 12 shows IIRC. Was probably a walking zombie for the school days i attended though I'm sure.

Musically speaking, only Utica, AC2 and the Augusta Reba stick out for me from that tour.  I can't exactly say Utica holds up on tape but that was still one of the wildest crowds I've been apart of. People hype Manchester a lot but for some reason it never hit me as much as others... That Light is pretty slick tho fo sho

Well, Sunday was the 20th anniversary of my first show here in Minnesota on 10/25/1995.  A few years back I bought a Poster/Contract/Rider for a show on 10/25/1990 and thought I would see if "couch tour" on Facebook would like to post it, kind of like a 25 years ago thing.  He liked the poster and I sent him the rest of the rider and he put it on his "Getting back on the train page" instead.  It made my day!

According to FB this pic was technically taken on 11/1 so I haven't missed it yet...

5 years ago (wow) I learned not to take 2 when Caravan says to take 1.  I had tested those waters the previous year in Telluride (with a positive experience) but this time didn't pan out...

10/31/10 was, without a doubt, the most uncomfortable I've ever been at a Phish show. The musical costume just wasn't working for me and the "2" was working TOO well for me. 

However, this pic was taken around the time I was starting to feel better, cuz that Post-Show hang out was a late night I'll never forget. Truly one for the ages.  :wtu: :sbw:

That's awesome.  I drove by the old Bangor Aud this summer while back in Maine.  Definitely looked different.

I have so many fond memories of this show.  Trey was dive bombing Page with his guitar during Tweezer.  Shooting at him like a fighter pilot.  It was awesome.

Quote from: mistercharlie on November 26, 2009, 01:16:58 AM

TTE is the worst song ever and I have a story to go with that.

Tonight during the Live Setlist Thread I'm watching the stream, headphones on and Dagny's sitting on the couch next to me watching Man vs. Food. Phish start playing TTE and I go "Ugyuck".
She says "Did you just go 'ugyuck'? Aren't you listening to Phish? I've never heard you go 'ugyuck' at Phish."
"It's Time Turns Elastic," I reply, "the worst song ever, Phish has written some bad songs before but they're usualy only 4-5 minutes long. This turd lasts 20 minutes!"
"Why do they play it if it's so bad?" she asks.
"Beats the shit outta me." was the only answer I could come up with.

This guy^^^ He gets it.

And this guy was there... Remember willa?
Quote from: williaa on November 26, 2009, 02:19:47 AM
Well, if they didn't play the show they did yesterday, this show would hold up pretty well on its own.  However, it will always be the neglected little brother after that beast of a show last night.

Birds jam was great, got pretty "out there" for a while but (as has been the case with most of the jams) right as it got real interesting, they went back into it and finished the song.  Thought there could have been just about ANY song played instead of TTE and this show would've stood out that much more.  Don't sleep on it.

YEM, including a lengthy vocal jam, was also a highlight as was the Antelope close to set 1.  Mike was on point as usual.

Its been fun, can't wait this again soon (rest of this tour and NYE are out of the question but hopefully there are some dates before summer tour).

Shoreline helps out:

Glad to see they played Sleep Again, I dig that song.

this girl behind me talked through the entire song.  I was so very close to just freaking the f out on her... especially when she continued her story on through antelope

As for the show.  I thought that the first set just had this weird flow to it.  Not sure if I liked it or if I didn't like it.  It just didn't feel normal (if that makes sense).  Loved the second set :raw:

also I kind of wish that after they play a tweezer its a lock that they will play tweprise.  Yeah, I love the tweprise but does it have to be played every time they play tweezer :?

Quote from: rowjimmy on November 26, 2009, 11:33:01 AM

That's the way it works.
Generally.

I'm just glad the closed the set with it rather than leave us with an inevitable encore of Tweezer Rep.


Overall, I really loved the show.
KDf, 46 Days rawked it up solid.
Sugar Slack... meh
Halley's was going really well but they abruptly slammed into
Divided Sky. This was stellar, in my completely subjective, biased by being there opinion.
Electric Sleep Again was cool.
Ocelot had a great rockin' ending.
Train Song was cool
Wilson was heavy with a heavy metal bass solo from Gordo (killa!)
Antelope was way hot with nice little solo callouts for Page and Mike.

Birds ripped
Farmhouse was cool
Tweezer was another big rock jam (Camden fans, take note)
YEM was solid with more heavy Gordo, ftw. Page broke a Piano string in this and the tech came to swap it out after the tramps.
Esther was cool. 15 years of shows and I didn't see it and now, two shows in a row.
TTE... The end is cool.
TWeezRep was a nice wrap up. intense Kuroda.

Oh! Sweet Nuthin is a fabulous encore...


Quote from: blatboom on November 26, 2009, 12:30:40 PM
had a great time despite the beat looking setlist.  I seem to remember Ocelot kicking ass and I loved the Tweezer and Wilson.  the > out of Halley's into Divided was really weird.

i was kinda thinking the same thing about the tweezer, that is if your talking about some awesome repetitions coming from trey.  and yea im kinda glad the string broke, it caused pages work to pan out a little longer which did not suck

Set 2: Timber (Jerry) > Kung, Mike's Song -> Rotation Jam -> Mike's Song, My Long Journey Home, I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome, Strange Design > Weekapaug Groove, Harry Hood, Hello My Baby, Poor Heart

Encore: Poor Heart Reprise, Fire

Teases:
· Nellie Kane tease in Runaway Jim

Noteworthy Jams: Timber (Jerry), Mike's Song, Mike's Song

Notes: The first set Poor Heart was the original version and the second set Poor Heart was the slow, shuffle version. The Poor Heart Reprise to start the encore was even slower, but only a few lines of the song were played. Runaway Jim contained a Nellie Kane tease from Mike. This Kung was performed differently than most; it was sung in a hymn-like fashion somewhat akin to Yerushalayim Shel Zahav. The jam out of Mike's Song featured the first known Rotation Jam, which also included a segment where each band member was playing one of Page's keyboards (although it was not Keyboard Army). My Long Journey Home and I'm Blue I'm Lonesome were performed acoustic; the latter featured a mandolin solo from Fish. The soundcheck's Funky Bitch was the slow version and contained Poor Heart lyrics.


This show was pretty damned good, imo. It was cold out there but hot inside.

Also caught 11-25-98 in Albany which sucked, but it was Thanksgiving Eve and I rekindled with an ex-girlfriend during the second set.
Gave her a ride home to LI after the show coupled with post-e Road Head.
Pretty cool show.

20 years ago today was my 2nd show.

--------------------

Phish
Saturday, 12/02/1995
New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum, New Haven, CT

Set 1: Prince Caspian, Runaway Jim, Mound > Guelah Papyrus, Reba, My Sweet One, Free, Taste That Surrounds, Bouncing Around the Room, Possum

Set 2: 2001 > Maze > Simple -> Faht, Tweezer > A Day in the Life > Golgi Apparatus, The Squirming Coil, Tweezer Reprise

Encore: Bold As Love

--------------------

I don't listen to the first set much, but that 2nd set.  Holy shit.  The most raging Tweezer ever.  The best Squirming Coil I've ever seen.  Maze shreds.  It has also been 20 years since I saw a live performance of Faht.  A little less than a year after this show, a friend of mine in high school gave me three cassette.  12/2/95 set 2.  12/31/95 set 3.  and 8/17/96 set 2.  Those three cassettes were the only thing I listened to for a couple of years.  I still know every note from those sets like the back of my hand.  And all three are amazing and incredible sets.  Hard to believe that it's been 20 years...  Then, a couple of years later I got into tape trading, which led to CD trading, which led to SHN/FLAC trading, which led to taping gear and DATs...  it all started from those three cassettes.

I gave the first set a listen at work today. Pretty nice.

Almost 20 years ago exactly, I walked out of this show with my face completely melted. Thus began the best month of music I've ever seen, and also one of the best in my life thus far. I don't remember where we spent the night after the show, but I remember that the concept of getting in a car and driving anywhere after that show seemed daunting, to say the least.

I also hit the Philly show 18 years ago, which was incredible, though definitely not as good as the next night, I agree.

Another thing to note, those sets you got on tape are all in my top 10 from attended shows. Just awesome taste by your friend.  :clap:

18 years ago today.

Everything I love about Phish packed into the first six minutes of set two. Old homemade speaker cabinets.  Trey in a Tee-shirt and ugly white sneakers and why shouldn't the intro to Bowie be six minutes long every time.

Great funk jam at 39 min and even the solo in Caspian is sick 52 min. 

Fish wearing the Flyers jersey which usually meant losing a bet to Trey or Brad.

Another fun night.  I convinced my parents to fly me up for the shows because I hadn't missed a Maine Phish show since 92.  Quite possibly the nicest thing they've done for me concerning Phish.

My father actually went to the show on 12/7.  12/8 was a bit better of a show IMO.  I think I was snuck into this show through a side door by a friend working the gig. 

Great playing by Fish on this Ya Mar.

Cumberland County Civic Center, Portland, ME

Set 1: Limb By Limb, Back on the Train, Down with Disease > Fast Enough for You, Ya Mar, The Horse > Silent in the Morning, Run Like an Antelope

Set 2: Sand, Dirt > Piper -> Dog Faced Boy, The Lizards, You Enjoy Myself -> Tweezer Reprise[1]

Encore: Golgi Apparatus > Tweezer Reprise

[1] A cappella.

Noteworthy Jams: Down with Disease, Ya Mar, Sand, Piper, You Enjoy Myself

Notes: The YEM vocal jam segued into an a cappella Tweezer Reprise. Tweezer Reprise was subsequently played in its normal manner to close out the show.

Just an absolutely amazing night.

We drove over from Portland, Maine on Saturday morning arriving at Skidmore College mid afternoon.  Drove into Albany and the snow started to fall.  Our crew had an extra and since I was recently miracled into a Dead show that previous summer I thought it fitting to return the favor.  It was beyond a sold out show so the dude was psyched. 

I just remember the place buzzing with energy as we walked in.  The first time I recall hearing hoots and hollers and cheering from the crowd as we made our way through the turnstiles.  You just knew it was going to be a good night.

It seemed everyone was on the same trip.  Or maybe that was just me.

This is one of those nights where I have these snip-its and moments of information burned into my brain that pop up randomly and make me laugh out loud.   

Maze opener just hit us in the face like a freight train.  Bam.  Theme was relatively new so we were dying to hear that.  Sloth is always great being somewhat of a Slothy Italian myself. Free was a treat as that was also fairly new at the time.

The second set is what matters here.  You've all heard it so I won't bore you with the details.  Classic Fall 95 Phish.  Trey banging away on his drum kit. 

Post show we emerge to at least a foot of snow.  Driving back to Skidmore was a team event.  Bridges freeze before roads was our constant reminder.  You literally couldn't see a thing on the roads.  Just the red tail lights from the car in front of you. 

We made it back to Skidmore. Parked the car and enjoyed the rest of our evening.  Next morning we couldn't find the car anywhere.  Eventually we determined that it must have been stolen but alas it was towed.  $100 later we were on our way back to Portland for the show on 12/11.

I'll also add that 12/9/95 was my first show with one of my best touring buddy's that I have now seen well over 100 shows with.  It all started in Albany 95 with Benny and we remain like brothers today.    Hoping for a monster YEM on 1/1 or 1/2 at MSG to celebrate with him.

Speaking of snowy shows:
I'm two days late for the anniversary of this one. I remember a pretty big snowball fight outside the venue as I was making way to the car.

Saturday, 12/07/1991   
The Music Hall, Portsmouth, NH

Set 1: Wilson > Runaway Jim, Foam, Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird > My Sweet One, Stash, The Curtain > Cavern > The Mango Song > Run Like an Antelope
Set 2: Buried Alive > Reba, Chalk Dust Torture, Sparkle, Brother, The Lizards, Hold Your Head Up > Terrapin > Hold Your Head Up, Harpua
Encore: Sweet Adeline, Golgi Apparatus

Teases:
· The Christmas Song tease in Buried Alive

Notes: Trey felt so generous during the trampoline giveaway before Sweet Adeline that he decided to give Fish away as well, pushing him into the crowd. He also teased The Christmas Song before and during Buried Alive. Harpua included Dog Log teases from Page and Mike. Sweet Adeline was performed without microphones.

forbins and harpua damn!

I dont think I have seen a snowball fight outside a phish show, maybe I have actually...I probably have.
But I do remember a big one after Snoe.Down in 2007 in Lake Placid, NY. 2nd night of the run and me and my friend walked out faced on mushies and a huge snowball fight errupted outside the Olympic Center

Ya. It felt like story time. Trey was awfully talkative.

Similar situation for me. Felt like Empire Strikes Back or something.

Granted I was like 14 years old.

Another fun night.  I convinced my parents to fly me up for the shows because I hadn't missed a Maine Phish show since 92.  Quite possibly the nicest thing they've done for me concerning Phish.

My father actually went to the show on 12/7.  12/8 was a bit better of a show IMO.  I think I was snuck into this show through a side door by a friend working the gig. 

Great playing by Fish on this Ya Mar.

Cumberland County Civic Center, Portland, ME

Set 1: Limb By Limb, Back on the Train, Down with Disease > Fast Enough for You, Ya Mar, The Horse > Silent in the Morning, Run Like an Antelope

Set 2: Sand, Dirt > Piper -> Dog Faced Boy, The Lizards, You Enjoy Myself -> Tweezer Reprise[1]

Encore: Golgi Apparatus > Tweezer Reprise

[1] A cappella.

Noteworthy Jams: Down with Disease, Ya Mar, Sand, Piper, You Enjoy Myself

Notes: The YEM vocal jam segued into an a cappella Tweezer Reprise. Tweezer Reprise was subsequently played in its normal manner to close out the show.


2 of my favorite nights in my Phish career. A buddy of mine went with his dad to these shows as well.
The 7th was sweet but it's all about the 2nd night. It is still so vivid in my memory.

nice review nedstruzz!
tryin to remember any big snow storms I had to go through for phish, C ville 09 was one coming down from MSG and it started dumping snow
oh yeah that DCU Center in woosta to start off the NYE run
prob others I am forgetting, those were ones where I was driving though ha

That NYC > C'Ville cannonball run was something I'll never forget. JPhishman hooked up the ride and it was really the first time I'd hung with the guy.  I remember being in a complete acid daze from the previous night and SERIOUS snow for most of the drive - spaceship mode - culminating at McGrupps house for one of the first big Paug meet ups!

My other snowstorm phish memory is also Worcester run.  To preface this story, I gotta say, my parents are the shit....

I was home in MN for the holidays and had a flight scheduled to Boston for the Worcester run on the 27th. I knew snow storms were in the forecast so I was watching the weather/flights super closely the night before. Sure enough, I see my afternoon flight gets cancelled.... So I literally end up waking my parents up at 2am in the morning, they bring me to the airport in the middle of the night, and I move my flight to the first flight out of MN>Boston and make it to the show!

Don't remember much musically from that Worcester run other that the Seven Below > WTU  :wtu: but that'll do!

Let's keep the Cumberland County theme a rollin'. Tomorrow marks the anniversary of:

Monday, 12/11/1995   
Cumberland County Civic Center, Portland, ME

Set 1: My Friend, My Friend > Ha Ha Ha, Stash, Prince Caspian, Reba, Dog Log, Llama, Dog Log, Tube, McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters, Julius > Cavern

Set 2: The Curtain > David Bowie, The Mango Song > Taste That Surrounds, Scent of a Mule, Harry Hood, Suspicious Minds > Hold Your Head Up, Funky Bitch*
Encore: While My Guitar Gently Weeps*

*Warren Haynes on guitar.


While 12/30/93 is the real grail show at this venue for me, this one was no slouch. Fun show. Good vibes. Dog Log goodness. I loved hearing Warren and Trey trade licks on WMGGW. I'm getting psyched for MSG!

Yep another great show at the CCCC.  Hometown show which were always fun.  We always had a large crew holding down Page side floor dating back to the HORDE 92 show.  I mean like 20-30 of us. 

My Friend was a great way to kick things off and the Stash is out of this world.  Nothing super amazing but Trey does one of those licks that you just can't replicate.  Take a listen. 

The Dog Logs were cool and it is true that Elvis was scheduled to play the Civic Center before he died.  Always a fan of McGrupp.

I always enjoyed set one of this show more than set two but Warren sitting in was a treat.

this being the 5th year in a row and after the 97 and 98 monster runs, hampton was officially a legendary phish venue.  so much so that i HAD to make the trip down from illinois.  it wasn't even an option. 

(i had tickets for the 98 run, but just couldn't make it.)

decent shows, but they just didn't live up to the hype i had built up in my mind.  i remember coming out of the show and the car we had driven was towed.  also, the section we were in for night one had terrible vibes.  we were right near the roped off vip section and i swear it was filled with a crew of trey's seedy suppliers.  for me in the 90s were 110% about the music, and this weekend it became clear to me just how much the drugs had taken things over.   

so glad 09 washed that bad taste out of my mouth for good.  hampton is indeed legendary!

Picked mine up a little late from the tow lot the next morning. Wanting to get back on the road as fast as I could, I left my stash in my pants pocket. Got pulled over 10 miles from my house. Didn't flex my rights because, like an idiot, I thought the cop 'might be cool.'  :shakehead:

decent shows, but they just didn't live up to the hype i had built up in my mind.  i remember coming out of the show and the car we had driven was towed.  also, the section we were in for night one had terrible vibes.  we were right near the roped off vip section and i swear it was filled with a crew of trey's seedy suppliers.  for me in the 90s were 110% about the music, and this weekend it became clear to me just how much the drugs had taken things over.   

so glad 09 washed that bad taste out of my mouth for good.  hampton is indeed legendary!   

You too, eh?
Picked mine up a little late from the tow lot the next morning. Wanting to get back on the road as fast as I could, I left my stash in my pants pocket. Got pulled over 10 miles from my house. Didn't flex my rights because, like an idiot, I thought the cop 'might be cool.'  :shakehead:

Didn't you say with us that night?

Yes, sir. I also parked in your hotel's parking lot. Since I didn't technically have a room, I didn't have a sticker (or whatever) to put in my car's window to indicate I was a paying guest; hence, the tow.

Always loved 12-28-96 II.
I always remember the strobes during Maze going on for WAY too long.
It was awesome.
Also, this 10min Split is sick!

Hey antelope19,

According to what you entered at Phish.net, today is the 18th anniversary of your first Phish show! To help you reminisce about the 18 long years since walking into USAir Arena in 1997, we invite you to visit http://phi.sh/971228 for the setlist and download links.

18 years ago! Half my life!

22 years ago tonight was probably the best show ever played by Phish in the state of Maine.

I think I was a sophomore in high school and boy did I get spun. The floor was actually moving as Trey did his Forbins narration.  Trey also says we are in Bath, Maine during the narration which always seems odd to me.  Did he just not remember where we were?   

This is definitely the first time I really "got it!" 

12/30/1993   
Cumberland County Civic Center, Portland, ME

Soundcheck: Dog Log (x2), Funky Bitch

Set 1: David Bowie, Weigh > The Curtain > Sample in a Jar, Paul and Silas, Colonel Forbin's Ascent > Fly Famous Mockingbird > Rift > Bathtub Gin, Free Bird

Set 2: Also Sprach Zarathustra > Mike's Song -> The Horse[1] > Silent in the Morning > Punch You In the Eye > McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters > Weekapaug Groove[2] > Purple Rain > Hold Your Head Up, Slave to the Traffic Light

Encore: Rocky Top > Good Times Bad Times

[1] Trey on acoustic guitar.
[2] Vocal jam; unfinished.

Teases:
· Dream On and Dave's Energy Guide jams in David Bowie
· Call to the Post tease in Punch You In the Eye

Noteworthy Jams: Bathtub Gin, Mike's Song (highly recommended), Weekapaug Groove, Slave to the Traffic Light (highly recommended)

Notes: Dream On and Dave's Energy Guide were both jammed during Bowie. The Horse featured Trey on acoustic guitar. Trey teased Call to the Post at the end of PYITE. Weekapaug contained a vocal jam and was unfinished. Slave was played in response to a chant from the front row.

Odd timing.

Five years ago tonight, Blat, Igbo, Barnesy and I were in NYC for akron/family at the Bowery. Aug and the missus came in to town to hang too.  Pretty epic hotel room. Great show, too.

Not as good as the night before in Philly (where we saw JJ too.)

A while later, Miles (bass player) asked me about why I'd preferred Philly. The answer was easy. The Blockley had the intimacy that the Bowery lacked.

I was there too. Such a great night. There was an all-night party with camping at a house with a bunch of land we went to afterwards — yup, with the big kids. One of the best shows I've ever caught, that's for sure.

I actually did manage to catch another instrumental Amazing Grace a few years later at Arco Arena in Sacramento.

16 years ago, I was sweating my ass off on a runway in upstate NY.....This was the start of Camp Oswego. I'll never forget those 2 days, as I took a good friend to his first show that day.....I'll never forget how shitty I felt for my buddy because this was the first show where I realized that shit was going downhill....and fast. The show was great but I'll never forget waking up and opening our tent to see the ground LITTERED with used syringes from all the junkies nearby. Needless to say, this was the last full tour I did until 2004.....and just now typing that, I realize my final 2 full tours were pretty shitty. The 99 tour seeing the fanbase going into the shitter, and 2004 when the band was going into the shitter.....odd coincidences....

Ok....so since I'm too high....lol

21 years ago, was summer '95 tour....Saw the first Johnny B. Goode sandwiched inside a pretty decent Tweezer, especially the groove they hit at the end. Other memorable highlights....Divided Sky opener which tore the roof off at the end, the Stash was quite tasty with Trey using his "underwater" effect to melt faces.....

I specifically remember my buddy Kenny turning to me at the end of Hood with the biggest smile on his face just shaking his head in approval.....this was the 2nd to last show I got to see with him before he passed away in a car accident on his way home from Canadaigua a mere 5 days later.

Marmar, are you talking about the effect Trey is using at the 27 minute mark during the Bozeman tweezer? You mentioned in the HFP thread you knew a lot about Treys guitar tone/rig. I've always been curious what effect or line of effects he's using here

that portion is all uni-Vibe...when it gets really "thick" sounding it's also through a leslie....the compound oscillations are what give the underwater effect....Doppler + vibrato

If I could take a Phish time machine to any month in their history, I'd take it back to July 94 to just see one of those shows that month. Jealous.

     I've been passing the last 2 months of summer recalling the shows I've seen in the past and as each date approaches I recall the show and think about how many years its been since then. 

    It was exactly 12 years ago that I had driven from Minneapolis to Columbus, Ohio (7/23/1999).  I remember many parts of that show and the scene on the lot.  We had gotten into the lot early and had a great time enjoying the weather all day.  The show started off great as we danced through the set with a excellent Bowie and ending with my friends first Possum.  The second set was a fierce jamming set with a Ghost>Free>BOAF combo that must have been 45 minutes leading into Trey teaching us the Meatstick dance and announcing the New Years Plans.  As the second set was heating up so was the air, nearing the end of the set the crowd was starting to watch a storm moving in from behind us.  We were spent by the end of the 2nd set and after the quick break we all stood back up hoping the rain would start soon to cool us off.  Bouncing Around the Room was fantastic and through the song you can hear the audience cheer at some point when a small sprinkle and breeze start up.  Right about when the band breaks into Rocky Top, the sky opens up with a huge down pour.  We were all dancing in the rain like a bunch of hill-billies at a Jamboree and then the mad dash to everyones car ensued.  I changed right next to our car and we headed out towards our long drive to Alpine Valley which I shall tell you all about tomorrow night.

     17 Years now, wow.  It's so wonderful that you all have added your stories and anniversary's to this thread.  I've enjoyed them all and am still making new ones every year!

13 years ago, we were given a gnarly version of 46 Days that I will never forget. CDT and Ghost are both stellar versions, the YEM is no slouch either. Really fun weekend with a huge crew of people. The Tower Jam from the wee hours of this morning was just the icing on the cake. I remember leaving this fest thinking the scene wasn't going to be able to continue at that current pace, sort of foreshadowing the coming year.

08/03/2003 (Sun) IT - Loring Air Force Base - Limestone, ME
Set 1: Daniel Saw the Stone, Saw It Again, Punch You in the Eye, Army of One, Chalkdust Torture, Wilson*, Mike's Song > I am Hydrogen > Weekapaug Groove
Set 2: Mellow Mood, Ghost, Mountains in the Mist, Pebbles and Marbles, You Enjoy Myself > Chariots of Fire**, Loving Cup
Set 3: 46 Days, Julius, Lizards, Secret Smile, Run Like an Antelope
E: Good Times Bad Times***
Comment:    * - Dedicated to Kevin Shapiro as the shortest Wilson ever as he left out a
complete verse.
** - Phish brought the winners from the 5K Run up on stage (the women's runner-up was Trey's neighbor in Richmond, and the men's winner had a time of 15min for the 5k).
*** - With fireworks.

Hershey was one ticket my crew couldn't get....but, I did, and had a wonderful show.
It should be a release, so many songs, and so many played so well, remember watching Page play that outro on Gumbo and thinking people should not be in Plattsburgh already...

That summer, the tour crescendo'ed with each night  being better than the last, perhaps Alpine better than the  first night of Deer Creek, perhaps, that it was silly to miss any of it, given the brevity.

Same thing happened to me in 2007 on the way to an Aerosmith show at a roadblock (minus the getting busted part).
One of my friends had a Ramones shirt on and was so blasted, he was pushing from the front of the van. Cop yells, "yo Ramone, you're pushin da wrong way!"

Post by: Marmar on August 15, 2016, 11:37:30 AM
Yeah...the whole story is one for the ages.

We left Hershey, picked up the 1/4 back in Bingo on our way to the Ball....we re-supplied the VW, and our mind altering supplies and went on our way. We stopped for gas near Howe Caves. I was drinking while driving (stupid I know but hey...) had a half empty Taddy Porter next to me, 2 sheets of acid tucked in a tape case on the floor, and a 1/4lb stashed in the bus. So yeah, we stop for gas so I can fill up the dub and my 2 5gal cans for the trek up north. We leave the gas station and get back on I-88....about 4 minutes into the drive, I see flashing lights behind me and notify my pals we got 6up....then I see another set of lights.....and another.....3 troopers and a county sheriff....we get stopped, I'm freakin because of all the open containers, and the cop walks up to me "you guys forget something back there?" he asks.....I'm like, hmm....I paid for gas, I paid for smokes...."No officer, I didn't forget anything"

He holds up a bag of pot....maybe 2g's in it....."you guys sure?"

I look over at my one buddy.....he's like giving that look like NO.....

I look over to my gal pal, she's like.....NO.

I look at my other buddy.....and his head is hanging in shame. :shakehead:

I'm like....dude.....own up to it (in my head I'm saying this cuz I know what will come next)..... :frustrated:

Silence.

So I turn to the cop and I'm like.....here's my pipe, and my sack of pot (thinking this proof will get me off the hook)....

Silence.

"So nobody is gonna admit this is theirs huh?"...the Trooper states....then it comes "Mind if I search your vehicle?"

So I give the cop the go ahead.....1 hr of sitting on the roadside, while removing EVERYTHING from my bus....found like 7 pipes I forgot about, a bong, they mentioned my taste in beers, I offered them a shot of Jager from the sink (5 gallons of Jager, Ice cold on tap baby!)...They had just finished removing the last thing that wasn't fastened down and were about to let us go when I hear the dreaded words; "well well well boys, what do we have here?"

I look up and see my 1/4lb hanging from the officers hand. My one buddy immediately said "that's mine sir"....

So then the trooper asks...."why didn't you just tell us about it?"

My buddies response was EPIC.

"Well sir, we all just spent close to $1000 each for this trip up to the Phish concerts and....well sir....we didn't want to go to jail"

The officer was holding a 1/4lb up in the air, and just started laughing....."Jail? lol...why do you think you'd go to jail for this?!? this is under an ounce."

:-o

So my buddy and I who admitted to having contraband are getting tickets.....full out arrested....I have an alias in NYS because of this.....back then my nickname was Garfunkle.....so on my arrest report my alias is "Art Garfunkle"....lmao at that one to this day.....

So here we are getting our tickets and everything. my other buds are putting everything back in the van...we get ready to go, and my van won't start. So I asked the 3 cops if they could give me a push. The one younger guy goes over to his car, takes one of the pipes he took from us and hands it back to me and says "you guys gotta be able to have some fun up there this weekend, be safe guys"  :-o :crazy: :banana:

3 Troopers and a Sheriff pushing my VW to pop start it.....we get it started and drive away.

My buddy who got the ticket with me starts laughing his ass off...he's like "DUDE LOOK AT YOUR TICKET"

The charges listed....."Posession of Marijhuana - Violation"

:-o

Needless to say, we had a blast after that.  Except for my one buddy....the one who dropped his bag at the gas station.....he got left at a rest stop up in the Adirondacks and never made it to the show, or home for all I know as that was the last I ever saw of him :samurai:

:phish:

PS- When we went to court.....the cops gave us an incorrect court date. we showed up, the judge had no evidence and just went by what our tickets said....$50 fine, $35 court fees. We got SO lucky.

Hells yeah I just left the dude! All he had to do was man up and admit he dropped his sack......and apparently his sack hadn't dropped yet cuz he couldn't man up to it. And for that, he got left behind....in the middle of nowhere.....with NOTHING. We collectively gave his tix to someone at the gate who needed a miracle. It wasn't just my decision, the other 2 felt the same way....

I really enjoyed watching this last night and reminiscing about sitting on the tarmac wondering how Phish could be so cool.  I mean who was playing hour long sound checks for their fans the day before the show back in 1996.  It was by far one of the coolest experiences I had witnessed up until that point.

The lights and music beckoned to us from our camp sights to the entrance to the festival grounds.  Everyone was in pure awe.  Very little talking and just chilling and listening to the soundcheck.  One of my greatest memories.

What Was The Clifford Ball?

"We realized that there is another whole level of concerts that hasn't been explored yet."
-- Trey, in Billboard Magazine 9/7/96

The event is named for the Clifford Ball, famed aviator who held fabulous balls for other aviators such as Amelia Earheart. The band purportedly learned of Ball from a plaque in a Pittsburgh-area airport, memorializing Ball with the epitath "a beacon of light in the world of flight". Trey used that phrase to introduce Page at 3/26/92 (during the Harpua encore), and at 3/24/92 he calls Fishman "Clifford O'Sullivan ... a beacon of light in the world of flight!" Over four years later, the phrase became the theme of the event named the Clifford Ball. (Thanks to Craig Delucia.)
The Clifford Ball was an absolutely phenomenal, unequivocably religious, amazing event at the former Air Force Base in Plattsburgh, New York, in August 1996. Phish performed three sets and an encore on each of the two show days, of a Friday-to-Sunday event, where some 70-80,000 fans camped on site for three days. Phish and Great Northeast Productions provided an array of entertainment and preparations that included:
flights overhead by bombers, fighters, gliders, and other airial vehicles, including two planes pulling banners with silly sayings (eg "Help... We're out of fuel... Seriously...")
carnival rides; wandering jugglers and stilters
a classical violin quartet, a blues quartet, a choral quintet, guitar soloists, and a full orchestra
fireworks
scores of food vendors, a general store with basic necessities, and wandering ice vendors
900 portable johns, cleaned regularly; and large fresh water tanks, filled regularly
on stage guests, including Ben and Jerry, two tramplonists, and a woman swinging on a rope
three huge video screens, and four sound towers
a central village ("Ball Square") built on a hill
movies in the camping area (Phantasia on Thursday night; cartoons and Rocky Horror Picture Show on Friday)
and more...
The audience was four times the size of hosting Clinton County, and temporarily made Plattsburgh the ninth largetst city in New York State.

Tapes exist from the taper's section, from microphones set up throughout the audience area, and (via theft, rather than an approved semi-official release) from soundboards.

Flatbed Jam: At about 3:30 a.m. (the night after the first show), Phish rolled through the parking lot on the back of a flatbed truck decorated with billions (well, lots anyway) of lights, playing an incredibly moving and rolling jam. (Tapes exist -- the first 20 minutes or so from Audio Technica 822 mics attached to bicycle handlebars, and the last 15 minutes or so from Neumann KM-140 mics attached to a stick, and there is an effort underway by Airwaves studios in Chicago to combine the two and mix out noise from the truck and the crowd -- but the experience cannot be captured.)

Ball Radio: During high-traffic periods going into the event, Phish took over the airwaves, as 89.1 FM, Ball Radio, "Ball All the Time!" Here's what they played on the radio 8/15/96 (the day the campgrounds opened):

12/31/91- Tweezer > McGrupp 3/26/92- NICU 3/24/92- Brother 6/22/94- Catapult > Simple > Icculus 7/15/94- Setting Sail 6/23/94- Frankenstein 12/30/92- Ride Captain Ride - - S.O.A.M. 10/29/94-Buffalo Bill > Makisupa Policeman 7/5/94- The Cities 3/26/93-P.Y.I.T.E. 8/13/93- Bathtub Gin > CB radio announcement, Bathtub Gin Gt; Ya Mar 2/19/93- Funky Bitch 2/9/90- Ballad Of Curtis Lowe 11/1/91- The Landlady > Destiny Unbound 12/30/92-Timber Ho > Bowie 7/14/91- 6/26/94-Tube 5/25/88-Alumni Blues

Orchestra: On the second day (Saturday, 8/17/96), between the first and second sets, there was an orchestral set by what was deemed the Clifford Ball Orchestra. Gliders flew overhead to the music, and then off into the sunset as the music came to an end. Tapes do exist and circulate. The setlist was as follows: Debussy: Nocturnes (2 movements), Ravel: Pavane Pour une Enfante Defunte, Debussy: Claire de Lune, Ravel: Tombeau de Couperin (2 movements), Chavrier: Joyeux Muse, Faure: Pelleas et Mellisandre (2 movements), Stravinsky: The Firebird (2 movements)


No likely return: Though the event brought needed revenue and attention to Plattsburgh, NY, the local government ruled that there ought not be a repeat. The to-press story at the time was that the event left trash (ranging from glass to cigarette butts) that couldn't be completely removed and which would interefere with more longterm (and profitable) use of the site, by presenting hazards to airplane tires on the tarmacs. There has also been some discussion that the event had been planned and promoted by (and in coordiation with) incumbent Democracts; when Republicans came into office, approving a sequel (to a disputable, stereotypeable, crazy, liberal spectacle, the largest concert in North America that year and the seventh largest city in New York that weekend) would be acknowledging a success of those recently beaten at the ballot box.
MTV showed a 22-minute film about the Clifford Ball, and aired it twice during prime time. A longer version (of 70-minutes or 90-minutes; the rumors differ) reportedly exists, and there were many official cameras throughout the event, so there is great hope that a full documentary will be made about the event. On the other hand, and particular with a second similar event (The Great Went) in 1997 and a third (The Lemonwheel) coming this year, there may be less interest in attracting too much attention.

Note: The Third Ball was completely unrelated (as far as we know) to the Clifford Ball. It was held 6-6-96 in Woodstock, NY, following the recording of Billy Breathes at Bearsville Studios. Mentioned on rec.music.phish just hours before the show, this event was circa 200 people crammed into a small bar, with circa 300 more outside. Soundboard tapes of this show, at which Character Zero and Waste were introduced, are circulating.

Also: Despite what's printed in the liner notes to A Live One, there was not a Clifford Ball (
so called) in 1994. The tracks on A Live One are from the fall of 1994.

The Clifford Ball gave birth to a new group of fans helping to keep the scene tidy, the Clifford Care Bears.

As a sequel to the Clifford Ball, the Great Went was held in August of 1997 and the Lemonwheel will be held in August 1998, both at the former Loring Air Force Base (now the Loring Commerce Center) in Limestone, Maine.


"It's like we weren't even there! Which feels really good to me, to be the band that is ignored by the media, and meanwhile to be putting on the biggest concert in North America." - Trey, 22/1/96 Entertainment Weekly

At about this time, getting ready to go in for sets 2 and 3....right about now we were doing nitrous mixed with acid and jager shots....trading spiedies (https://kigfoodblog.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/binglupochicken.jpg?w=356&h=267&crop=1) for grams of hash with our neighbors....

about this time I was dropping 15 hits....this was roughly my 118th show or so +/- 5....and from the energy of the previous night, and the daytime sets, I was ready to trip my Clifford Balls off.....

Never forget this weekend.

couple weeks late, and not the Phish, but just realized it had been 10 years since i saw what would be the last TBC show with the OG lineup @ Red Rocks. 8-12-06.
end of an era for a band i'd been in love with and seeing since '92.
only video that exists is of the opener. pretty nice clip though  :smoke:

Dude was 14. And out of the country. I barely let my 15yo out of the house.

As the story goes, I had never really heard Phish but was into the GD. Played drums in a band with a bunch of older kids who were 18-21 years of age. They had managed to convince my parents to allow me to see the Dead that Spring '90 tour (Albany, Nassau and Hamilton). They did not tell them that the band was the Grateful Dead, but instead that we were going to see some jazz. We gigged in local bars. I'd get snuck in the back door with the equipment and wear a baseball hat, always looking down so no one would question my age. When I'd get caught, it was often too late to kick me out, as the show would be in progress and the bar managers/owners needed a band.

Anyway, these older kids drove me down to Wetlands for this show, the day before my birthday although by the time the show ended, past-midnight, it was my birthday. It was my first time in NYC and I'm not sure if we paid the door guy extra as it was sold out, or if they paid him extra to get me in (I can't remember if it was an all-ages show). Naturally, I was flying high on some wonderful fluff. Phish came out and played. I had no idea when songs were ending and starting, nor their names (turns out quite a few songs made their debuts on this night, so I wasn't alone). I classed them as a jazz rock band, with some prog. The guitar player was stellar and I liked the drummer. Wasn't super enamored with the bass player and thought the keyboard player could use a real piano. Everyone was dancing and getting the fuck down. Little did I know just how big of a role these weird dudes would play in my life. It was awesome; I used to love seeing live music in intimate clubs like that. Something I rarely do nowadays as I am too busy. 26 years ago.........

i can honestly say i enjoy 2000 phish way more now that i did when it was happening.  i was in need of a phish break in the fall of 2000.  a week later we got the announcement (my first couch tour!) and i booked a flight to the bay area for the first weekend of october.

No too too many early October shows that I've attended over the years.

A couple days ago marks the anniversary of the beginning of the hiatus. 10/7/00 was a classy way to go out in my opinion.

In a couple days marks the anniversary of a great random one-off show for me. I flew out to Arizona solo to visit Prescott College. Didn't end up going, but that didn't stop me from having a cool little adventure that included catching a solid show: 10/11/95 Compton Terrace show (and both Crossroads ever played at that point):

Chandler , AZ
SET 1: Stash, The Old Home Place > Cavern > Divided Sky, If I Could, The Fog That Surrounds, Acoustic Army, Julius, Sample in a Jar
SET 2: Possum > Bathtub Gin, Mound, Mike's Song -> McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters > Weekapaug Groove -> Llama, Suzy Greenberg -> Crossroads, Hello My Baby, A Day in the Life
ENCORE: Chalk Dust Torture

One of my favorite shows from one of my favorite tours. Gonna have to go cue this one up today. My #1 Reba overshadows a smoking Stash and Bowie.

Was it you or birdman with the great story about Mike and the Simple hat? Probably both.

I'm gonna go with both... lol...

Another great story from this show:

This dude who's name I forget but who lived in my dorm freshman year met Mike before the show and it's a great story.

So, the kid plays bass and spent his high school years geeking out on Phish. Of course, the newsletters are still going to his house outside Boston once he heads to Vandy. His mom sees Phish is playing on campus and writes a letter to the band... totally unbenounced to him... saying he's a huge fan, yada yada yada. Mike responds with a letter (all snail mail, of course) saying, "Tell your son to be on the corner of xxxx and yyyy at 2pm with a red hat on and I will meet him there."

Kid does not own a red hat, so he borrows one from someone and heads to the corner. Sure enough the tour bus pulls up right in front of him and Mike sticks his head out the door and says "get in."

Long story short, Mike doesn't even remember responding to the letter, but he made a note to himself on his daily planner to meet some kid in a red hat... yada yada yada.

He rides with them to venue, Mike shows him around his gear and he gets to hang out and watch the soundcheck.

:clap:  :phish:

My mom got me and my wife a Phish promo print signed by all four band members with a note congratulating us on our wedding as a wedding present.  She called Phish Inc back in fall 2002 and explained that we met and started dating on 2000 Tour and that she would like to give us something to commemorate our relationship and love for Phish.  She wasn't even sure what they would send but they got a print signed and wrote a nice note congratulating us on the front.  Didn't even charge her for it.

I don't think it's happened in 3.0 (which is a shame)

But! They did play a brand new (at the time) arrangement of swept away... with a jam!... once or twice in 3.0

ETA: looks like this did actually do the Swept > Steep combo 12/31/09... then did swept 3 times since with the new arrangement. SPAC 2010 being the debut of the arrangement

If you ponder that fact long enough, you might even start to make comparisons... but... then again.... maybe it's just best to ride the "now" train. CHOO CHOO!!  :wtu:

Almost like the night I saw one more Phish show that I'd seen of the Grateful Dead.
It was weird and part of me didn't want that to ever happen but it's also just self-constructed bullshit that prevents you from enjoying the now.

that show was my first Phish experience.  that experience was me, a U of I student who had listened to Phish but didn't hear it, walking to the lot to buy kind buds and mushrooms.  (I actually went the next year, my second show, by that time I was no longer a U of I student)  lots of people staying at our my buddy's apartment that night, including some weird people who caused the mushroom thing to go south on me.  the U of I campus was a great place for that sort of thing, especially the cemetery on 4th, but I couldnt leave the apartment.  should have gotten a ticket.

I've had a distant Mexican cousin that I've known about for years. At Hampton he and I got really close... you might say intimate.

Ugh. So jealous.  I listened to a portion of this today.....

Is this setlist not.... perfect? Sure, we all might prefer certain songs, even I generally prefer the look of latter 90s sets but coooommmee on! these sets and flow are so mint! Straight up Rift/Lawn Boy goodness first set with Kung/Satin Doll kick downs. Then a second set with all the bangers PLUS the rarities/first timers/segues.  People now would probably hate on the Horse>Silent but F that. Perfectly placed after that Bowie.

Bag encore? Wut!!! I'd flip shit over that nowadays. What a show!

QuoteTUESDAY 07/11/2000
DEER CREEK MUSIC CENTER
Noblesville , IN

SET 1: Ya Mar, The Moma Dance, Uncle Pen, Drowned, Chalk Dust Torture Reprise > Chalk Dust Torture, Theme From the Bottom > Cavern

SET 2: Also Sprach Zarathustra > Down with Disease -> Moby Dick > Down with Disease > Runaway Jim -> Moby Dick, Back on the Train -> Moby Dick > Back on the Train, Harry Hood > Moby Dick, Hold Your Head Up > Terrapin > Hold Your Head Up > Moby Dick[1] > Hold Your Head Up, Character Zero

ENCORE: First Tube > Moby Dick > Chalk Dust Torture Reprise

[1] Trey on drums and Fish on vacuum.

In keeping with the theme of the second set, Hood included a Moby Dick tease. Trey introduced Fish as "Russell Crowe" during Terrapin. The Moby Dick inside of the HYHU jam featured Trey on drums and Fish on vacuum. The Chalk Dust Reprise was akin to the version last played on December 10, 1994 (391 shows), with the band singing the words "Chalk Dust Torture" over varied music. At the end of the encore, Trey joked that, if anyone missed anything, they should read the book or see the movie. Prior to this show, Moby Dick had not been played since November 29, 1997 (172 shows).

This show was part of the H.O.R.D.E. tour that also featured Aquarium Rescue Unit, Blues Traveler, The Spin Doctors and Widespread Panic. Several "official" H.O.R.D.E. dancers took the stage during The Landlady to dance with Trey and Mike. Landlady contained an Oye Como Va tease from Trey. During the tramps segment of YEM, an extra tramp and microphone were brought out for John Popper. On his first jump, though, Popper jumped right through the trampoline. Embarrassed, he left the stage.

20 years ago today! What a night. This second set is still one of my all-time favorites.

PHISH, SUNDAY 08/10/1997
DEER CREEK MUSIC CENTER
Noblesville , IN
Soundcheck: Dog Log, Paul and Silas, Funky Bitch (slow), She Caught the Katy and Left Me a Mule to Ride, Star Trek theme jam (Page on Theremin).

SET 1: Bathtub Gin -> Sparkle > Down with Disease > Dirt, Cars Trucks Buses, Billy Breathes, Split Open and Melt , Bye Bye Foot > Ginseng Sullivan, Harry Hood

SET 2: Cities  -> Good Times Bad Times -> Rotation Jam -> Rock A William -> David Bowie

ENCORE: Cavern

The long, involved Rotation Jam to set up Rock A William started when Page went to the theremin for a solo. Soon after, Trey took up the keys and Mike went to play guitar. Page eventually picked up Mike's bass. After they jammed a bit longer, Mike went to join Trey on the keys. Trey then joined Fish on the drums. The two of them played on the same drum set and Mike took a piano solo. Trey eventually kicked Fish off the drum stool, and Fish picked up Trey's guitar. SOAM contained a Third Stone from the Sun tease as well as a Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part Two jam.

What a night is right!  I have a lot of great memories from this night!  We had friends in town, and this was before I had to camp at Deer Creek.  (I'm not sure if they even had camping then.)  Just looked at my stub...Section C, Row T, Seat 4 mail order.  20th row nearly dead center.  Those were the days of mail order! 

Was this really 20 years ago?!

On-site camping at Deer Creek started in 2000 I think.  Off-site camping was been going on for years before that...

We definitely camped on-site in 1998.  Now that I think of it, 8.10.97 was the beginning of my first time touring with phish...we rode shows all the way to Limestone.

Post by: mattstick on August 10, 2017, 01:57:32 PM

Hmm, I could have sworn that 2000 was a big deal because it was 3 nights and the first camping on-site.

I googled for a minute and found a picture of Mike on his golf cart in the on-site camping in 1999 so I'm clearly wrong.

If I remember correctly, 2000 was a big deal because clear channel really tried to take advantage of the situation.  Didn't they do Phil and friends a day or 2 before phish, and offer like 6 or 7 night onsite camping  passes?

Phil played at Deer Creek on 7/9/00, after Phish @ Alpine but before Phish's 3-nights at Deer Creek.

I talked to Mike at the SBD for a bit during that Phil show.

Yeah.
They also did something like that in '04 where it was Sunday & Monday DMB, Tuesday Keller Williams/DSO, and then Wednesday & Thursday Phish. The girl I was living with at the time loved Dave Matthews so we lived in that back parking lot of Deer Creek for that week. Other than having to put up with the frat boys the first two nights it was cool. And there was a HUGE change in the lot once the DMB-kids left and the DSO/Phish crowd started arriving.

On-site camping at Deer Creek started in 2000 I think.  Off-site camping was been going on for years before that...

On-site camping started in '98.
when u say 'on site' do u mean u could just stay in the lot?
i coulda sworn we still got kicked out the lot in 98

Kicked out of the front lot, yes. The back lot (the one behind the lawn) was only for camping.

Had no idea that review was about this show.

Kiiiiinnnddaa makes more sense with the rotation antics. I wouldn't expect a non-phish fan to understand why that is awesome.

Wow! That guy didn't like that Cities? I think it's safe to say that if you don't get a reaction from someone when playing that version, then there's no hope for them.

It's my 24th Phishiversary!! The night that changed my life!!! 

Also of note, Phish also played in Indy at Deer Creek on 8/13/96 and 8/13/2010. The '96 show was top notch, and the '10 was ok 3.0.

DARIEN LAKE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER

Darien Center , NY   


Soundcheck: Buffalo Bill, The Old Home Place, Funky Bitch, Crosseyed and Painless

SET 1: Ya Mar, Funky Bitch > Fluffhead, Limb By Limb, Free, Cars Trucks Buses, Tela > Train Song > Billy Breathes, Run Like an Antelope   

SET 2: Chalk Dust Torture, Love Me, Sparkle > Harry Hood -> Jam > Colonel Forbin's Ascent -> Merry Pranksters Jam[1] -> Camel Walk, Taste   

ENCORE: Bouncing Around the Room, Rocky Top   

[1] Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters.


The second set featured a remarkable jam after Harry Hood ended and before Forbin's began, as well as an appearance by Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. The Merry Pranksters Jam contained a Somewhere Over the Rainbow tease from Trey, an If I Only Had a Brain tease, a Spam Song quote, and a Frankenstein jam.

Much of this show doesn't translate well on tape, but one of my favorites attended from a musical standpoint. Best Fluffhead I've ever seen live. And I wish they'd do the Tela > Train Song > Billy Breathes triplet more often, reads like slowsville, but they all work so well together, like a sonata.

So great.
I videotaped snippets of the lot and shows throughout the weekend on a VHS camcorder that I snuck in in the hood of my sweatshirt. Got the beginning of Sabotage through Mango Song (I think) from about 6 rows back.
First time trying L and decided 2 gel tabs would do the trick  :crazy:
Live and learn.
Got stopped by the cops (for driving too slow) and searched on the drive, stopped at the border and searched and then searched on the way in.
I was right beside the elephant in the crowd.
Still one of the best weekend of my life.

20 years ago today, my first.
Damn, time flies. Total game changer for me as I was a serious noob as far as Phish went. Heard ALO and maybe Billy Breathes before this. Took my then GF, now wife on our first adventure/roadtrip to this. She saw all the naked people walking around on the 2nd day and decided she might as well go topless. I was in love at that point  :mrgreen: She definitely liked the scene more than the music although she enjoyed the funk and of course the fireworks. Cities was my IT moment and I knew that I would be seeing this band til they hung it up. Looking back now, that Harpua moment was the coolest, too bad I had no clue what was going on at the time. Did this entire weekend sober although a guy in the crowd shared some fungus with me but I didn't notice it at all.


08/16/1997 (Sat) The Great Went - Loring Air Force Base - Limestone, ME
Set 1: Makisupa Policeman > Harpua*, Chalk Dust Torture, Theme From the Bottom, Punch You in the Eye, Ghost, Ginseng Sullivan, You Enjoy Myself, Train Song, Character Zero, The Squirming Coil
Set 2: Wolfman's Brother > Simple** > My Soul, Slave to the Traffic Light***, Rocky Top, Julius
Set 3: Halley's Comet > Cities > Llama > Lawn Boy, Limb By Limb, Funky Bitch##
E: Contact, Loving Cup
Comments: * - Started with the theme and Jimmy story, picking up where the song stopped last year at the Clifford Ball.
** - Theme from the 'Odd Couple' tease.
*** - Included instrumental intro.
## - Major fireworks display behind the stage as Funky Bitch ends.  We made our way to the back of the venue to watch the fireworks.

It was cool though since we got to meet a bunch of heads there and hear their stories from tour.

I'll go through all the old pics from that weekend but she wouldn't have let me snap one. Back in those days, we printed our pics at a photolab. You can't be having strangers going through that stuff.

Tent dried out all right the next day, though.

Clifford Ball/Went/Lemonwheel were special times for sure.  Funny how we never know it when its happening but in hindsight its so clear. 

I think 20 years from now we will all be thinking about how the Bakers Dozen was as epic as these shows.  Makes me sad for the future actually.

I never made it up to Loring for any of the events up there. I didn't have a good time at Clifford Ball and didn't hit another Phish fest until Big Cypress.

I don't want to send you into a regret spiral but you done fucked up.

25 yrs ago i saw the Allmans for the 1st time.
still the original lineup back then minus Duane of course.

funny story- i had just started my 1st yr at William & Mary and drove back up to Richmond for the show with some of my new friends.
had no weed and there was this one guy sitting next to us on the lawn by himself puffing joints to the head all show.
i got up the nerve to ask him for a toke and pretty sure he just gave me the cold shoulder.
late in the show the dude walks over to me and hands me a whole joint anad just walks off.
so i puffed the whole thing myself... soon i realized something was up.
99% sure to this day it was dipped in wet,..and so i spent the entire ride back to williamsburg high on pcp thinking i was BAtman.

22 years ago.  my 2nd show.  blew my freaking mind...

QuotePHISH, TUESDAY 10/31/1995
ROSEMONT HORIZON
Rosemont, IL
Soundcheck: Guyute, Suzy Greenberg (x2), Jam, Suzy Greenberg, Jesus Just Left Chicago, Jam

SET 1: Icculus, Divided Sky, Wilson > Ya Mar, Sparkle > Free, Guyute, Run Like an Antelope, Harpua[1]

SET 2: I Am the Sea[2], The Real Me[2] > Quadrophenia[2], Cut My Hair[2], The Punk Meets the Godfather[2], I'm One[2], The Dirty Jobs[2] > Helpless Dancer[2], Is It In My Head?[2], I've Had Enough[2], 5:15[2], Sea and Sand[2], Drowned[2], Bell Boy[3], Doctor Jimmy[2] > The Rock[2], Love, Reign O'er Me[2]

SET 3: You Enjoy Myself , Jesus Just Left Chicago [4], A Day in the Life > Suzy Greenberg[5]

ENCORE: My Generation[6]

[1] Narration from Mike about raccoons.
[2] Phish debut; Dave Grippo on alto saxophone, Don Glasgo on trombone, Joey Sommerville on trumpet and Alan Parshley on French horn.
[3] Phish debut; Dave Grippo on alto saxophone, Don Glasgo on trombone, Joey Sommerville on trumpet and Alan Parshley on French horn, Leigh Fordham sang Keith Moon's original part.
[4] Dave Grippo on alto saxophone.
[5] Dave Grippo on alto saxophone, Don Glasgo on trombone, and Joey Sommerville on trumpet.
[6] Phish debut; acoustic.
Harpua included a story from Mike about a dream about raccoons. The Michael Jackson references continued, as Trey teased the audience by saying that Jimmy was listening to the Halloween album while the band played a Beat It tease. Also, the second set was preceded by recorded Wanna Be Startin' Somethin' and Thriller teases from Michael Jackson's Thriller album. The second set "musical costume" was The Who's Quadrophenia and was performed with Dave Grippo on alto saxophone, Don Glasgo on trombone, Joey Sommerville on trumpet and Alan Parshley on French horn. During Bell Boy, crew member Leigh Fordham, clad in a bell boy outfit, sang Keith Moon's original part. All of the Quadrophenia songs, as well as My Generation, were Phish debuts. YEM was almost 40 minutes long, contained teases from Trey of The Real Me and DEG, and was preceded by the audience chess move. The chosen fan, dressed as a Wookiee, cracked under the pressure and could not choose a move on stage, prompting a quote from Fish that "Wookiees can't play chess." The Rock was teased after the failed move. Jesus Just Left Chicago featured Grippo on alto saxophone; Suzy Greenberg featured Grippo, Glasgo and Somerville. My Generation was performed acoustic. Before My Generation, the crew set up a Keith Moon replica drum set on stage. After the song, Fish and Trey destroyed the drum set a la The Who. Finally, a stagehand brought out a large plunger. Trey pressed it and set off a huge explosion backstage. This show was officially released as Live Phish 14. In the soundcheck, Suzy Greenberg was performed three times: the first with only Grippo, the second with the band and Grippo, and the third with all of the horns, alternate lyrics, and Bell Boy quotes. The jam through the end of the soundcheck was played with horns.

Yup, you couldn't ask for much more in a second show slot.
You have a little more wits about you the second time around and get to appreciate the specialness of that night.

I was there it was real and it was SPECTACULAR! Set II from 11/7 is pure gold, and the YEM jam (from 11/9) is a 90's funk dance party.

true.  but there's something to be said for the time in your life that you can rip out a 2,000 mile drive, do a bit of skiing, catch a show, and be back for whatever little responsibility you have at the time. 

i just think it's funny that that's the only other show they caught besides the "home" champaign show.  i mean out of that entire tour, denver was the third farthest possible destination and they only stayed for one night...noobs!

In 96 we drove to New Orleans from Nashville to see phish play jazz fest. Stayed one nights with pieguys grandmom, saw the show and drove back to school for my psychological anthropology final. Studied all the way down and back. Crushed that test. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything

It's so funny because I was her youngest grandchild and all of my cousins would come down for Mardi Gras or whatever and stay with her to party in NOLA for years before me... and they were all tri-Delts at Ole Miss and shit... so when we showed up Granny Becky said something like "I don't know how we're gonna work out this shower schedule because I don't think my water heater has a big enough tank for all you nice young ladies to wash your hair."

And all of us just burst out laughing. Not sure any one of us even took a single shower that weekend.

Also, just before we left to head into NOLA for the day on Saturday Granny Becky said to all of us, "Tomorrow is Sunday which means I'll be going to church at 10am. If y'all are back by then you're welcome to join me."

So, apparently, all those tri-Delts partied pretty hard.

I was there (the show, not Jeff's party), it was surreal that night. The boomers mixed with the FANTASTIC playing by the band really made for one hell of an experience. One of my personal favorite nights of Phishdom.

That's a 90's guy/girl ratio right there.

Also, the only two shows I saw Fall 97 tour were Denver. Both nights were great. Then again, so was what I saw in Summer 97 and December 97. Not sure it seemed over the top exceptional at the time – just very f'n good.

I often wonder for you old timers. When you were seeing them in the years that are now known as "the best years" 94, 95, 97. Did you guys think they were slaying it? Was it how we see it now? Or is hindsight 20/20 now that 2.0 and 3.0 happened?

I know for me personally 94 and 97 and 95 are some of my favorite tours. But nothing brings me as much joy as this past summer. Yes it's cause I was at the shows. But it also has to do with the fact their playing is totally different. It's a totally different band

Oh, we knew in '95 that wonderful shit was happening. And every '97 show I caught had me leaving the venue thinking that I had just seen the new best show Phish has ever played.

There were definitely nights we walked out talking about how we knew we'd look back and know we were there for some epic shit that people would be talking about for years and years. 12/30/93 comes to mind.

great question!  i feel like the heaters i saw back in the day couldn't be put into the context of phish history.  it was more about being blown away on that particular night, thinking this was the best band in the world, doing everything to get to the next show, and then going home and frantically searching for the tapes.  then relistening many many times and just enjoying the relistens.  it was such a different phish...every time.  93 is nothing like 94.  95 is nothing like 97.  it just kept morphing and changing.  when a band is on the rise, as they were until 12/31/99, you really don't look at it terms of history.  you're just along for the ride.

Don't ever lose that feeling boys.

I simply can't imagine how great it mustve been. I've seen a lot of shows and have had a lot of fun doing it. But I'm aware that it's different. I've listened to it all... to have BEEN THERE for Fall 97 (or summer 97... or fall 95 etc) is just something slightly different. Relish in it. Think about it. Re-Live it in your mind. Don't take it for granted.

That was a a specific time and place of greatness that will never occur again.

There was a lot less info around too, like you didn't walk out of the show and know the setlist unless you wrote it down.  You probably wouldn't see email or the internet until you got back home from tour.

I vaguely knew that Phish had played Boogie On Reggae Woman in the 80s when they played it at 12/7/97, but you knew it was special.

great posts today.
i agree with most everyone's thoughts.

11-21, 22, 23 were the shows i saw for Fall and they still feel like 3 of the best days of my life.
Hampton was basically nirvana for me from start to finish including the whole scene.

WE stayed @ the on site HOliday inn and it was seriously popin'.
i remember tanks in the lobby and everyone walking around giving out mescaline in the hallways.

ME and my girl had just started going out and were in madly in love, still in heat,
After the first show we fucked in a room where about 20 heads were crashing, lol.
we tried to be quiet, butThe next morning my friend Ed says:
"How many Phish heads does it take to crew in a light bulb?"
-"None, their all too busy screwing in crowded hotel rooms".
:-D  i'll never forget that.

That vibe in the MOthership those two nights tho... sheeesh, maybe it was teh droogz, but man...

Man I almost wish it was that way. I know I was too young for the tape game. But I did my fair share of archiving and burning discs (didn't get an iPod till I got a job). I just remember it was a more "in tune" feeling when I was still doing that. Now it's just too easy, hop on Phish.net during setbreak etc. Almost takes some of the fun out of it.

But I will always cherish everything about this band, the culture. I just love it, even if I did miss the boat, I'm having a pretty good time these days.

Appreciate the responses though, I always dig hearing stories from you guys. A good way to get a glimpse of what it was like.

Post by: emay on November 22, 2017, 10:08:35 AM
Yeah I remember doing a lot of B&Ps not only for Phish but for GD and Bob Dylan tapes, etc.

I think one of the big reasons I found this group was all the bt.etree.org downloading and seeding I was doing for every/any phish show I could find. A lot were up'd by people on this board or part of the mass upload projects on this board that had a link to the thread on this board.

Its def a lot different now. My old laptop crapped out so I have all my PH and music on scattered Harddrives now. I use the library off there to listen to the shows I want at home. But mostly, its streaming from Phish for shows in FLAC but I would only really listen those at home too).
Title: Re: 12, 13, 20 years ago we were .....
Post by: Buffalo Budd on November 22, 2017, 10:37:49 AM
I used to B&P tapes all the time in the mid 90s til probably 01ish.
I only started using the internet for setlists and shit in maybe 99.
So every show was just a new experience with no point of reference for myself. I'm sure there were more tech savvy people on here that were well prepared going in. I'm also a noob compared to a lot of the folks on here as I only started seeing Phish in Summer 97.
I do miss that sense of wonder and freshness though when you had no point of reference or cell phone, etc. Everything was word of mouth or what you scribbled down on a pad of paper.

I know for me personally 94 and 97 and 95 are some of my favorite tours. But nothing brings me as much joy as this past summer. Yes it's cause I was at the shows. But it also has to do with the fact their playing is totally different. It's a totally different band

You only knew that it was good....sure, some nights had you shaking your head in disbelief but for the most part it was just GOOD.....you could sense the rise, but you still felt like part of a "secret group" that was lucky enough to be able to see and be a part of this amazing music.....the crowds were SO quiet, everyone was hanging on every note....the lot scene was way more chill as it was fairly wook free because the Dead were still around....

No one had a crystal ball....we didn't know that we'd be looking back 20+ years later going "holy shit!" at some of the stuff that at the time was just another moment in time at a concert....again, there were those rare occasions when the show was just ON from start to finish that left you walking out of the venue with a melted face but there was always this expectation that the next night would somehow top the previous night....be it in terms of playing, setlist, antics, etc...

I vaguely remember watching the Vegas '00 stream at a friend's house and thinking how great the future will be, catching glimpses of what we now call "couch tour."  Of course the future of Phish was less certain then, but I never really doubted the hiatus would be anything more than a much needed break. 

And now that we're here, I find myself nostalgic for the more simple times.  I guess the grass is always greener... 

Though now that I think about it, the romance would last for about 10 minutes before I would remember just how much of a pain in the balls tape trading was.  So much effort, so much money...  Live streams and LP SBDs are so much better.   :laugh:

This is the key right here. Now, I walk out and in to shows wondering more how they might let me down. Having done some epic runs (December '95 (except NYE), much of Fall '97, summer '99 etc...) I would leave shows going not only "wow, that epic", but as well I was giddy with excitement knowing they were going to try to top it!! These thoughts would actually give me butterflies. And I'd continuously have butterflies walking into shows. That's not to say they haven't done it recently. I felt that a little of this during the Baker's D, and Magnaball for the drivein set.

And, yes, there were many nights that I walked out of a show believing it would not be topped, and sure enough most if not all of those nights now rest in the pantheon where I knew they belonged upon exiting.

It seemed like every year they would continue to top themselves.  As time went on, I would always think "They can never top this...." and they always do. Sometimes there would be lulls, but then bam, out of nowhere, they would outdo themselves again.  Case in point, Halloween '14.  I would rank that experience up there with NYE '95 or any of the classic heavy hitters.  But that's just me.  But when they were knocking out sick show after sick show in those prime years, you would always leave a show thinking wow, I can't believe they keep getting better!  How could that be?!?

Yeah I remember doing a lot of B&Ps not only for Phish but for GD and Bob Dylan tapes, etc.

I think one of the big reasons I found this group was all the bt.etree.org downloading and seeding I was doing for every/any phish show I could find. A lot were up'd by people on this board or part of the mass upload projects on this board that had a link to the thread on this board.

Its def a lot different now. My old laptop crapped out so I have all my PH and music on scattered Harddrives now. I use the library off there to listen to the shows I want at home. But mostly, its streaming from Phish for shows in FLAC but I would only really listen those at home too).
Yep for me it was etree>SHNfam Hub> Paug. I am forever grateful for those years I spent so entrenched with B&P (CDs/DVDs :hereitisyousentimentalbastard) and archiving. Let me finally meet some people with shared interests.

really gets my pick for most underated phish show i saw.
still stands as my favorite version of Bathtub, and i don't think this 2nd set gets the recognition it deserves.
there was some obvious held over energy from hampton.
Trey was in full on Rock God mode.
i remember August commmenting once it was just alot of wanking off, but i've listened to these tapes a million times and i have to disagree. i see it as more full on hose for the better part of an hour.
We sold margaritas in the lot and ended up getting really drunk.
The onsalught of that Bathtub DWD took some major endurance to withstand and defintiely left some faces melted.
i also have always really enjoyed the FLuffhead from teh 1st set. has a great peak jam.

I remember feeling almost the need to hide during the jam in Stash.....so sinister....

The Gin though......the first 14 minutes or so are just wanking off.....the remaining 16 minutes are just chaos, with more wanking off.....even the gear shift didn't do anything....I remember leaving this one feeling like I would've enjoyed it more if I had just left after set 1....set 2 did (and still does) absolutely nothing for me.....IIRC, this is the ONLY Phish show where I sat for the majority of the second set.

It's hard to say that any Fall 97 show is 'underated' but I've always felt 12/2 doesn't get the attention it should. Perhaps it's overshadowed by the Possum>Jam from the second night that everyone talks about.

Either way, that 12/2 Mike's Groove is such a monster. The Segues are mint, especially the DFB>Ya Mar segment, and you gotta love the abnormal treatment/arrangements  on both. One of my all time Mike's Groove!

The Philly shows got me back into the band and probably significantly altered my life as I decided to head back to Boston shortly thereafter to be close to my friends who got me into the whole scene back in college.

So....it was 1995....

It was December....

It was the 14th.

It was COLD.

But inside the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena, every single person of the 7,500 in attendance, left that night with faces melted and 3rd degree burns over 90% of our bodies by the HEET that was brought that night. My buddy Dan Matthews did the chess move, we ate WAY too much L because we were at "home"......and you can hear my pal Julie cheering for Dan when he did the chess move on most recordings....

What a fucking MEMORABLE night....22 years ago....

12/2-12/3/97 as well as 12/12-12/13/97 would both make incredible Live Phish releases.

Additionally, there will never be anything quite like a December Phish show in the Northeast in the 90's.  Ever. 

December 95 and Dec 97 are just amazing memories that I will never forget.

12/29 & 30 are sooo good.
This show is def interesting, it has some highlights though. Always enjoyed the cities and Halleys. Ghost is alright but nothing compared to the fall ones. Scent is fun too.

My first New Year's Run kicked off today!  The flow of the show was very odd, especially after the insanity that was fall tour.  I got floor tickets through mail order.  They were $25 each, and I thought the theme of the mail order tickets from the 28th to the 31st was the coolest thing ever.

def. some highlights and overall on par for the era, but as you said a weird flow and almost felt like a soundcheck for the msg shows in retrospect. PLus, i always hated the sound a Crap Center...

Agreed, definitely the hardest ticket.  Wish there was real footage of that night, it might have been the best NYE gag.

So....it was 1995....

It was December....

It was the 14th.

It was COLD.

But inside the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena, every single person of the 7,500 in attendance, left that night with faces melted and 3rd degree burns over 90% of our bodies by the HEET that was brought that night. My buddy Dan Matthews did the chess move, we ate WAY too much L because we were at "home"......and you can hear my pal Julie cheering for Dan when he did the chess move on most recordings....

What a fucking MEMORABLE night....22 years ago....

My favorite "regular" show that I caught.
Never gets stale.

Since tomorrow is a Saturday and I won't be on a computer I'm going to post this now.

25 years since my second show.  This is pretty much the Portland High School gym and I was a freshman.  Phish started 1993 in a high school gym and finished selling out the Civic Center on 12/30 and Worcester on 12/31.  Pretty big year for our guys.

PHISH, WEDNESDAY 02/03/1993
PORTLAND EXPO
Portland, ME
SET 1: Loving Cup[1], Rift, Fee[2] > Llama, The Wedge[3], Divided Sky, I Didn't Know[4], My Friend, My Friend[5], Poor Heart > Guelah Papyrus, David Bowie

SET 2: Runaway Jim, It's Ice > Tweezer[6], The Horse[7] > Silent in the Morning > Sparkle, You Enjoy Myself [6] > Lifeboy[3], Hold Your Head Up > Terrapin > Big Ball Jam[8] > Terrapin > Hold Your Head Up, Possum

ENCORE: Amazing Grace[9], Tweezer Reprise

[1] Phish debut.
[2] Trey sang verses through megaphone.
[3] Debut.
[4] Fish on trombone.
[5] Beginning featured Trey on acoustic guitar.
[6] "Water Your Team in a Beehive I'm a Sent You" lyrics.
[7] Trey on acoustic guitar.
[8] Fish on vaccum.
[9] Phish debut; without amplification.

Loving Cup made its Phish debut at this show and was the first tune played on Page's new baby grand. Page teased Call to the Post before Loving Cup. This show also featured the debuts of Wedge and Lifeboy. Trey sang the verses of Fee through a megaphone. I Didn't Know featured Fish on trombone, the beginning of My Friend and all of Horse featured Trey on acoustic guitar, and Big Ball Jam featured Fish on vacuum. Tweezer and YEM both contained "Water Your Team in a Beehive I'm a Sent You" lyrics. YEM also contained a My Girl tease and Terrapin (after Big Ball Jam) contained I Feel Free teases from Page. Trey teased You Don't Love Me in Possum. The Amazing Grace encore (also a Phish debut) was performed without amplification.

Notes form Phish.com

In the weeks leading up to this show, Fast Enough For You was released as the 1st single from "Rift", Fish donated a 1967 Electrolux vacuum to the Hard Rock Cafe' in Boston at a "Rift" release party (where the band sang Amazing Grace) and, the day before (2/2/93) "Rift" was released on Elektra. The Portland Exposition Building was a historic gymnasium with a capacity of 2,700. The venue, opened in 1914, was the second oldest continuously-used arena in the U.S. behind Boston's Matthews Arena, where Phish played their previous show. This was Page's 1st show playing his new Yamaha C7 Baby Grand Piano, which he has played ever since. He had reportedly said he wouldn't play Loving Cup until he got one. Not surprisingly, the show opened with the 1st performance of Loving Cup as well as the 1st performances of The Wedge, Lifeboy and Amazing Grace. Trey sang the verses of Fee through his megaphone and My Friend My Friend began, for the first time, with Trey on acoustic guitar. Runaway Jim included a tease of My Girl. Trey played The Horse on acoustic guitar, switching to electric for Silent In The Morning. You Enjoy Myself included another tease of My Girl and the alternative lyrics "Water Your Team in a Beehive I'm a Sent You". This phrase came from a "what are you saying after 'Boy', Man, God, Shit'"? letter in the Feb 93 Phish Update that Mike answered, "in 'You Enjoy Myself,' after 'shit,' we say, 'Water you team in a bee hive, I'm a sent you." The public debut of Amazing Grace was performed without microphones. This was the first date listed in the Feb 93 Phish Update, which read in part: "The dates on this newsletter are for the first month of a North American tour that will continue into early May. The next newsletter will be mailed in late January and will hopefully contain the remainder of the tour. Our new album for Elektra, Rift, is being shipped to stores on Jan. 29th and should be available by Feb. 3rd. Tickets, etc: As our fan base grows we are faced with new problems that don't have easy solutions. A number of shows this fall sold out very quickly, and with these sell-outs came a number of unfortunate situations. Tickets for several shows were available at high prices through "ticket brokers". Purchasing tickets from these agencies will only fuel them to drive the prices up and try to get more tickets the next time we play in the area. The only way to eliminate this problem is to refrain from purchasing tickets from them. It is a supply and demand situation and if they feel there is no demand, they won't bother with us. Linked to the brokers problem is the issue of counterfeit tickets. Counterfeit tickets have been discovered at several shows, often being sold right outside the venues. These tickets may appear to be good imitations, but most ticket takers can easily distinguish between real and fake tickets. We urge you not to purchase tickets from anywhere or anyone except from an authorized ticket outlet. If you do so, you will be contributing to a growing problem that casts an ugly light on an otherwise positive situation. If we all cooperate now, we can nip this problem in the bud before it gets out of hand. We are currently looking into alternative ticketing situations (mail order, etc.) to help make tickets more available to fans."

I had tickets, a ride, and a free place to stay for the famed Roxy run. I really had no excuse other than I was a big pussy who finished his first semester at college with a 1.35 GPA and was really scared to miss class and flunk out.

This is what I missed:

[1] Trey on acoustic guitar.
[2] Simpsons signal.
[3] Minor lyric changes.
[4] Not played in its entirety.
[5] Chorus sung by Jay von Lehe.
The Horse featured Trey on acoustic guitar. This long version of Wilson included a Simpsons signal and, towards the end, a freakish jam that included an Iron Man tease from Mike. Reba included a tease of the theme from Woody Woodpecker. Tweezer had a Low Rider jam and Straight Out the Sewer quotes from Trey. Glide subsequently included Tweezer teases. Mike's Song featured minor lyric changes, three different Tweezer teases, two different Wilson teases, and other teases of Reba, Lizards, and Stash. During Hydrogen before the Vibration of Life, Mike teased Entrance of the Gladiators. After Kung, Mike quoted NO2. The Rock and Roll All Nite jam was for fan Jay von Lehe, dressed as Kiss' Gene Simmons, who the band brought on stage to sing the song's chorus. Terrapin featured band intros and lots of chatter from Fish, prompting a hurry-up HYHU tease from Page. Fish also performed a lengthy vacuum solo during this tune. The HYHU outro segued into Hood as Fish and Trey switched places. Neither Have Mercy (first since Halloween, 1986, or 669 shows) nor MMGAMOIO were played in their entirety. Walk Away was played for the first time since November 2, 1991 (159 shows). This show was released as part of the Phish At The Roxy box set.

Can't believe that the Island Tour started TWENTY YEARS ago tonight.
Probably the most memorable 4 night run I caught.
Plus, their first time at Nassau was a bonus as it's my other hometown venue.
First set was a tad loose, but that Twist.

Was pretty cool to get to the lot on 4/3 and hear the buzz about Birds of a Feather and Frankie Says

Yeah, and everyone was all "did you see the YouTube vids of Twist?"

after those first 2 shows i originally preferred the 4-2 show. there was something real magic and spooky about that night. 4-3 was more of a straight rager.
still love the punch, stash, wolfmans, sneaking, frankie says, twist, monkey- my type of list.

i think i was pretty tired for 4-3. we had sleep in  the car/hotel parking lots for 2 nights in a row. after that show we finally broke down and got a room in one of those rent by the hour joints on hempstead parkway. there wa a mirror on the celing and everyting.  :mrgreen:

loved 4-4 and 4-5 jsut as much as the nassau shows. i know i posted this somewhere here before... i  forget now, but one of those shows was the toughest ticket i ever ran across for phish on lot. they were upwards of $100 a pop if you could find them which was highway robbery back then. god i need to search some of my stories on these forums about shows i saw, lol, i cant remember as many details as i did 5-10 yrs ago. i remember they had magic hat on tap tho. that i remember.  :beers:

In keeping with the theme of the second set, Hood included a Moby Dick tease. Trey introduced Fish as "Russell Crowe" during Terrapin. The Moby Dick inside of the HYHU jam featured Trey on drums and Fish on vacuum. The Chalk Dust Reprise was akin to the version last played on December 10, 1994 (391 shows), with the band singing the words "Chalk Dust Torture" over varied music. At the end of the encore, Trey joked that, if anyone missed anything, they should read the book or see the movie. Prior to this show, Moby Dick had not been played since November 29, 1997 (172 shows).

7-15-98. Portland.

Can't believe its been 20 years since my summer 98 trip began.
I drove out from VA mostly with the intention of moving to Portland and with no plans of hopping on tour, but plans changed, and the next month+ i would catch alot of phish and further shows all the way back across the country to Va, up to Maine for the final shows and finally sutmbling out to CO by late August.

I always look back at this show as a big soundcheck for the tour.
Laid back west coast crowd, new songs- many 1st time played in the US,  the California jam a sign of of covers to come for the rest of tour (-did Trey think they were in CA?)... and really its was not until the nice HEavy Metal Wilson encore that they seemed to finally get goin. Perfect warm up for the Gorge double dip to follow.

7/17/93 - Wolf Trap, Vienna, VA.  My second show.  Has it really been 25 years?!? That was probably the last time (if not the only) where outside booze was allowed into a Phish show.  I vividly remember seeing two linebacker-sized dudes carrying in a massive Gott cooler with probably five cases of beer in it.   Wolf Trap had no idea what hit them!  The show was pretty good too, with early versions of Sample & 2001, one of three Leprechauns, Weekapaug without the bass intro, and Faht with everyone in the place making all kinds of jungle noise.  Some big jam songs in there too.  Memories!

MY first show.
and only  10 min drive from my house at the time.

being able to bring in coolers was def the highlight, lol.
I vividly remember being 'elected' by my group of friends to carry the cooler in b/c i was 19 and and most of them were 17ish. good times.


also, Gorge 98,
always loved both nights of this run.
one of the few times i slept overnight in a lot and made a point of overconsuming ganja food and pharmies til i blacked face down in the grass not making it back to my car.
best memory of day 2 is still hanging out with MIKE in someone's camper and talking to him about the new songs they played @ Portland & nite 1 gorge . - and asking him what the funky song was named he told me "the moment ends".

This show was a complete blast! And that second set is top to bottom awesome! The dirty funk that comes out of that Cities is one of my all-time favorite jams. I want Fish to wear the black suite he wore on this tour again, I feel it is what carried this pure funk energy in it.

SET 2: Cities -> Good Times Bad Times -> Rotation Jam -> Rock A William -> David Bowie
ENCORE: Cavern

The long, involved Rotation Jam to set up Rock A William started when Page went to the theremin for a solo. Soon after, Trey took up the keys and Mike went to play guitar. Page eventually picked up Mike's bass. After they jammed a bit longer, Mike went to join Trey on the keys. Trey then joined Fish on the drums. The two of them played on the same drum set and Mike took a piano solo. Trey eventually kicked Fish off the drum stool, and Fish picked up Trey's guitar. SOAM contained a Third Stone from the Sun tease as well as a Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part Two jam.

10 years ago right now I was very drunk catching up with BM for the first time in years. I remember asking if he thought I should set an alarm and he just laughed. "Are you kidding? We're seeing phish tomorrow!"

Sure enough, we both popped out of bed at about 8am with zero hangover and 100% adrenaline just knowing we were headed to Hampton first phish show since Coventry.

I threw on my "I Love Pie" shirt and the rest is history.

Going with the "we're old" tangent, check this out.

The period of time between 1981 and today is now longer than the period of time between 1945 and 1981. That means we are now further away from 1981 in time than we were from the end of WWII back in 1981.

10 years ago on 8/11/09 I saw my first show! My dad's first as well, he saw his second at Blossom, so maybe I should get him posting here :hereitisyousentimentalbastard I can't believe it's been 10 years. Not a great show by any means... got TTE'd, but it was special nonetheless, Curtain With, Gumbo, Paul and Silas were the highlights.

It's been a ride since then!

More importantly, Mirthmania I.

Even more importantly, whatever happened to PH92's Zappamom?

Well, I joined the Nitrous Mafia and have been pimping out my tank all over the east coast. I'll be standing right outside of Carnegie Hall before and after the Trey shows!

I've always really enjoyed the Jim which comes just after that Tweezer.

Very straightforward short-ish performance, but it is blistering. Akin to the Down with Disease from 12/1/95.

25 years ago tonight was an epic end to an epic summer tour... and was, incidentally, the highest I've ever been ever ever.

Sugarbush foretold of things to come. It was the last Phish show before Jerry died. The last "just us" blowout before the masses from Dead tour hopped on Phish tour. It was a precursor to Clifford Ball in a lot of ways. They let us camp right there. It was, in essence, a mini-festival. These two nights at Sugarbush were the absolute peak of my Phish experience. Up there with Big Cypress... no lie.

(https://i.imgur.com/x3eKJdu.jpg)


Here is what I wrote about that weekend five years ago for Surrender to the Phlow:

QuoteSugarbush 95 - The Trick Was To Surrender To The Flow

It's codified Phish lore that Amy's Farm was the first "Phish Fest," but it was only one night, and it was a relatively small gathering. I contend that the roots of Phish's festivals were actually planted 20 summers ago at Sugarbush, VT. As we prepare for Magnaball, it's as good a time as any to look back at this important (and incredibly fun) run.

The touring community in the Summer of 95 was pretty tight-knit, and word spread amongst us in the week leading up to Sugarbush that camping would be allowed on the mountain. Knowing this, most of us drove straight from the Great Woods lot to get to Sugarbush early the next morning and secure a campsite. I remember watching the sunrise from the bottom of the hill with about 200 people who had been driving all night and were still unable to sleep.

Thousands of cars streamed in all morning followed by busloads of phans from satellite parking lots. By show time on July 2nd, there were significantly more people on the mountain than the 15,000 tickets sold. Fences were ignored; crowds were more or less welcomed by staff and security. Announcements were made from the stage asking for patience and reminding everyone to "have a good time." In essence, this had become a free show, leading to an even bigger crowd on July 3rd as word spread across New England. Despite the massive influx of Phish heads, everyone acted like adults and treated each other with kindness. Trey suggested that  "for those of you who were kind of walking through the woods and found yourself at the concert, perhaps you can take the money you would have spent on a ticket and donate it to the King Street Youth Center."

Bear in mind, on this very same night, gatecrashers were wreaking havoc on Deer Creek causing the July 3rd Grateful Dead show to be cancelled. All of this came just 2 weeks after about 100,000 fans attended the Dead's Highgate, VT show in what can only be described as horrid conditions. The juxtaposition was not lost on the Phish organization. The goal for the next big summer tour-closer would be to take these lessons to their logical end. "Our intent is all for your delight" became the mantra. If the intent is good, the people will be kind and smiles will ensue. Don't just put a stage in a field and have the people fend for themselves, or worse, bilk them for cash at every turn. Build art installations for them to explore. Provide twice as many Portajohns as every expert recommends. Have reasonably priced food and free water. Play your heart out for three sets a night and throw in surprises around every corner.

And that's exactly what they did. The Clifford Ball was like nothing that had come before it. 70,000 people showed up and none of them crashed the gates. They danced and smiled and treated each other with kindness. The rest, as they say, is Phishtory.

The fact that that guy said this:

QuoteThrowing the occasional Bertha or St. Stephen into their set would've been the easiest move possible to light up those new fans (and many of the old ones too), but it wasn't obligatory by this point, and they wisely opted against it.

Leads me to believe he is an idiot...

... -> MOBY DICK!

20 years ago today we were getting ready for one of the most fun shows. We got a Chalkdust Reprise in set I and the encore, and Set II was a HUGE "Dick Jam"!

QuotePHISH, TUESDAY 07/11/2000
DEER CREEK MUSIC CENTER
Noblesville, IN
SET 1: Ya Mar, The Moma Dance, Uncle Pen, Drowned, Chalk Dust Torture Reprise > Chalk Dust Torture, Theme From the Bottom > Cavern

SET 2: Also Sprach Zarathustra > Down with Disease -> Moby Dick > Down with Disease > Runaway Jim -> Moby Dick, Back on the Train -> Moby Dick > Back on the Train, Harry Hood > Moby Dick, Hold Your Head Up > Terrapin > Hold Your Head Up > Moby Dick[1] > Hold Your Head Up, Character Zero

ENCORE: First Tube > Moby Dick > Chalk Dust Torture Reprise

[1] Trey on drums and Fish on vacuum.

In keeping with the theme of the second set, Hood included a Moby Dick tease. Trey introduced Fish as “Russell Crowe” during Terrapin. The Moby Dick inside of the HYHU jam featured Trey on drums and Fish on vacuum. The Chalk Dust Reprise was akin to the version last played on December 10, 1994 (391 shows), with the band singing the words “Chalk Dust Torture” over varied music. At the end of the encore, Trey joked that, if anyone missed anything, they should read the book or see the movie. Trey also teased Moby Dick at the end of the encore's Chalk Dust Reprise. Prior to this show, Moby Dick had not been played since November 29, 1997 (172 shows).


Scanned my ticket just the other day with a new scanner/printer my mother-in-law gave me.  Looking at my ticket 20 years later I realized that My Section and Row in the PAV were perfect for this show!!! Section D (ic) row K!

20 years ago was one of the hardest trips I've ever had, and was the last time I've ate mushrooms until about a month ago.

Tait and I split a 1/4 of shrooms, each shoving an eighth into a peanut butter sandwich about 15 minutes before showtime, and then ran to the venue to not be late, and as soon as we found a spot in the middle of the right side of the lawn we started tripping and the show started 5 minutes later

It was one of the most fucked up shows I'd ever seen, although only my 7th? So far at that point (10/1/99, 10/2/99, BC, 07/08/00, 07/09/00)..

I distinctly remember leaving the show and barely, barely being able to get down the stairs at the back of the venue, and when I did finally make it down the stairs I turned around and looked at everyone else struggling just like us.. lol

It was twenty years ago today...

Hit up 09/12/00 w/ some buds from college.  Knowing this would be their last tour for awhile, anticipation and excitement was pretty high.  Quick ride down 95 on a beautiful, pleasant late Summer day.  Loved seeing the Tweeter Center sign turned into Tweezer Center.  Security was insane.  A steady rotation of cops who were aggressively seeking to bust.  Inside was like a womb, lawn full.  Really great crowd as always.  High energy.  Loved First Tube as much as the previous version I had seen, 12/07/99.  The DwD that opened set two was monstrous featuring a lot of type I Trey before settling into a long funk groove.  Mike completely at home.  2001 > Mike's Groove was a nice sequence w/ Coil being a perfect encore.  Last Phish show for me until IT.

Carolina was performed for the first time since December 30, 2016 (103 shows). MFMF didn't contain the "Myfe" ending. Trey teased Axilla in Scents and Subtle Sounds and Suzy Greenberg. The theme to Mission: Impossible was also teased in Scents. Limb By Limb was unfinished and contained a Divided Sky tease from Trey and This Old Man singing from Fish.

Bittersweet Motel was played for the first time since July 6, 2016 (134 shows) and had lyrics changed to "halfway from Charleston to Pittsburgh."

This was one of those perfect Phish nights where the crew you are with, combined with a perfect buzz, and excellent seats all come together in pure bliss.  Then Phish came out and proceeded to play a setlist that was a scarily accurate account of our inside jokes and songs talked about earlier that day.  For a band that has hundreds of song choices on any given night, this really shouldn't ever be possible.  After 25 years, Phish continues to lurk so far inside my brain it's not even funny.

SET 2: Axilla > Scents and Subtle Sounds > No Quarter > Your Pet Cat > Mercury > Saw It Again > Limb By Limb[2] > The Lizards, Suzy Greenberg

ENCORE: Bittersweet Motel[3] > Death Don't Hurt Very Long > Loving Cup

[1] No "Myfe" ending.
[2] Unfinished.
[3] Lyrics changed to "halfway from Charleston to Pittsburgh."

Carolina was performed for the first time since December 30, 2016 (103 shows). MFMF didn't contain the "Myfe" ending. Trey teased Axilla in Scents and Subtle Sounds and Suzy Greenberg. The theme to Mission: Impossible was also teased in Scents. Limb By Limb was unfinished and contained a Divided Sky tease from Trey and This Old Man singing from Fish. Page teased the theme from Speed Racer in The Lizards. Suzy Greenberg also included a Saw It Again quote from Fish. Bittersweet Motel was played for the first time since July 6, 2016 (134 shows) and had lyrics changed to "halfway from Charleston to Pittsburgh."

This was one of those perfect Phish nights where the crew you are with, combined with a perfect buzz, and excellent seats all come together in pure bliss.  Then Phish came out and proceeded to play a setlist that was a scarily accurate account of our inside jokes and songs talked about earlier that day.  For a band that has hundreds of song choices on any given night, this really shouldn't ever be possible.  After 25 years, Phish continues to lurk so far inside my brain it's not even funny.

Highlights included a gnarly Scents and the local section usher grooving in place to a groovy Pet Cat.

Or the one that hit that joint!   The limb and destiny were both very good too

Thanks for reminding me--a chick I probably could have hooked up with offered me a ticket for what must have been this run, and I didn't take it. I think I was too broke to make it work, or something. I was bumming around Sarasota, FL and needed to get back to Vermont and start working again.

Please do, I need to learn not to make these mistakes... Similar to the rookies who skip midwest phish, Alpine for example.

In about a week it'll be the last "real" show I saw. Carl Cox warehouse party here in Denver. I've been lucky enough to see a handful of jauntee shows, though.

12 years ago, Phish came back.

Also, people of the Paug from all over the country (and Canadia) came together. I think that weekend brought us closer together... even those of us who didn?t make it to Hampton.

Magical weekend.

I saw the Fall 91 tour closer in Portsmouth, which was great (Forbins and Harpua in the same show), but always wished I caught them there the following Spring - a whole revamped band with the secret language and Rift songs and all. Yup, we're old!

I had a 3-room suite at this "Dirty Dancing"-style, very family-oriented resort near the venue. Justjezmund, my sister and some of her crew stayed there. Scotty crashed w/ us on night 3, after the last show. Good times--the people running that resort had no idea what they were getting into, marketing eagerly to the Phish crowd. Tanks on the front lawn at 3am, some dirty shit. I remember really digging the music but then being mindfucked by the release of that soundcheck "Waves."

The Holmdel Gin is old enough to drink today. I was not, that night, which caused a minor problem when the NJ state trooper found our cooler of beers in the back of the car after pulling me over after the show. But it wasn't the bust he was apparently looking for, because in an ecologically irresponsible show of grace he merely had me toss the bottles into some roadside woods and then sent my friend and I on our way. (Have I told this story here before?) We were back in the Arts Center parking lot getting ready for another exceptional concert the next evening, sipping on the beers that had once been hiding in the footwell of the folded-down rear seat of the station wagon and that I certainly was not going to volunteer the location of if I didn't have to.

Growing up in Jersey means having some sort of epic run-in with the state troopers at GSAC. I mean, it?s their home and they love fucking with underage drinkers. They get off on it. 100%.

For us it was a Steve Miller Band show. They tore our tickets and didn?t let us in cuz we could barely stand up. Then the troopers told us we had to leave the parking lot. If you?re not in the show you?re trespassing. Meanwhile, I?m way too drunk to drive and I?m the only one even old enough to have a license. So, we ?hid? in the car for about two hours. Scared to death. 15 year old girls crying drunk. Absolute shit show.

Still the drunkest I?ve ever driven too. Brutal.

The Holmdel Gin is old enough to drink today. I was not, that night, which caused a minor problem when the NJ state trooper found our cooler of beers in the back of the car after pulling me over after the show. But it wasn't the bust he was apparently looking for, because in an ecologically irresponsible show of grace he merely had me toss the bottles into some roadside woods and then sent my friend and I on our way. (Have I told this story here before?) We were back in the Arts Center parking lot getting ready for another exceptional concert the next evening, sipping on the beers that had once been hiding in the footwell of the folded-down rear seat of the station wagon and that I certainly was not going to volunteer the location of if I didn't have to.

Lol. Good story. Just think..those beers could STILL be in those woods today!

Also, I?ve always referred to that Gin as the ol glory jam -I dont know why, it just feels right.

Oh, the broken glass and bottle caps may well still be there--dude made me heave them as far as I could. Not good for the animal population probably.  :-(

26 years ago today I learned the hard way... Never miss a Sunday show.  :cry:

Our crew went to the 7/8 show, but decided to skip the 7/9 show since my mom and a few of her friends had work on Monday. Biggest mistake of our lives.  :syf:

Yep. Had a blast at 7/6, as well as the night before in Ottawa (essentially my hometown show). Caught Pink Floyd in Toronto the night after Phish Montreal. That year's Montreal Jazz fest was smoking too, which fell during these shows before and after. I don't think I've ever seen better music over a two week period than this stretch. At Jazz Fest I caught double bill: John McLaughlin's Free Spirits (Joey DeFrancesco and Dennis Chambers) and then Paco De Lucia - Sunny Ade - Ben Harper and the IC, Bill Frisell Quintet, then late night parties that I've lost recollection of. To be young again.....damnit.

Plane Crash??? We had the pigs but I don't remember a plane crash. I was out of my mind, religious experience style, but I think I'd remember a plane crash. I know they slightly mixed the setlist at some point, but didn't know the pyrotechnics changed. The only time I've seen a plane crash on stage was for Iron Maiden.

Recollecting some more, I also caught the Stone's Voodoo Lounge tour a couple weeks after in Toronto, and then hit Lollapalooza in TO with the Beasties and Smashing Pumpkins headline cause Kurt Cobain killed himself - after which we then drove through the night to catch the GD at Buckeye Lake and then the Palace in Auburn Hills.

Wow!!! What a July. And to think I'd pretty much forgotten about it. Good times.

2010 was the last time I was at DC too.  Great times and company for sure.  Yeah the temperature was sure something too.



Also 12 years ago I remember closing out the first tour back at Spac.  Getting dumped on by crazy rain, basically a free for all show with everyone scrambling to get in.  Killer energy, some unexpected extension from numberline, and a hell of a time trying to find my car post show in the maze of baseball fields.

First show was today 22 years ago, which is also the last time Phish played IA.

Not a lot I remember about this show, other than driving down to Ames and back right after the show in my old blazer with no heat.

The next night, though, at Target Center, I was "convinced" that the band wasn't actually real.  Like they were animatronics or some shit, like at Chucky cheese lol.

Ill never forget thinking there is no way this band is real because the show on 10/02 really blew me away.

Or it could have been the LSD 🤷

I spent the '90s very, very leisurely getting into Phish. Wish I'd caught on a little quicker. Even after being blown away when I saw 10/31/98, I still only bothered to catch one show in '99, and three in '00. AND I had a friend in NYC who went to the '98 NYE run. Why the hell didn't I fly out there and join him?

On the plus side, at the time I thought those two Shoreline shows were way more amazing than all you jaded vets must have.

Nice! I saw my 4th Phish show there a few months earlier. They played both Mockingbird and Harpua, they gave the trampolines away to the crowd, there was a snowball fight after the show. And your show is still more classic. Jealous.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM TREY
Last Friday night, I got together with Mike, Page and Fish to talk openly about the strong feelings I've been having that Phish has run its course and that we should end it now while it's still on a high note. Once we started talking, it quickly became apparent that the other guys' feelings, while not all the same as mine, were similar in many ways — most importantly, that we all love and respect Phish and the Phish audience far too much to stand by and allow it to drag on beyond the point of vibrancy and health. We don't want to become caricatures of ourselves, or worse yet, a nostalgia act. By the end of the meeting, we realized that after almost twenty-one years together we were faced with the opportunity to graciously step away in unison, as a group, united in our friendship and our feelings of gratitude.
So Coventry will be the final Phish show. We are proud and thrilled that it will be in our home state of Vermont. We're also excited for the June and August shows, our last tour together. For the sake of clarity, I should say that this is not like the hiatus, which was our last attempt to revitalize ourselves. We're done. It's been an amazing and incredible journey. We thank you all for the love and support that you've shown us.

Damn.

I didn't even 'discover' Phish until spring '04... missed the opportunity to hit Alpine '04 (which... that Seven Below still crushes) -- I had completely settled into the idea that I would never see the greatest band that ever was. Alas.... here we are  :wtu:

10 years ago today was tour opener in Woostah!  A fun and close-to-home show, though what I remember the most was that my BIL got so schwilly he had to lay down in the row behind us at setbreak and didn't get up until very deep in the second set (Buried Alive Reprise, ironically).  Smiled the whole time but could not beat the spins for about an hour and a half...

And 11 years ago was a non-remarkable Great Woods show that featured a "Let's Go Bruins" chant, which was a first for me at  :phish:

Somewhat related, I distinctly remember "Jaromir Jagr" chants in the campground at Clifford Ball.  Not quite sure why, but it wasn't me.

25 years ago today this wonderful show was played (or Phish pissed in everyones ears, if you work for the Indy Star)!

QuotePHISH, SUNDAY 08/10/1997
DEER CREEK MUSIC CENTER
Noblesville, IN
Soundcheck: Dog Log, Paul and Silas, Funky Bitch (slow), She Caught the Katy and Left Me a Mule to Ride, Star Trek theme jam (Page on Theremin).
SET 1: Bathtub Gin -> Sparkle > Down with Disease > Dirt, Cars Trucks Buses, Billy Breathes, Split Open and Melt, Bye Bye Foot > Ginseng Sullivan, Harry Hood
SET 2: Cities -> Good Times Bad Times -> Rotation Jam -> Rock A William -> David Bowie
ENCORE: Cavern



The long, involved Rotation Jam to set up Rock A William started when Page went to the theremin for a solo. Soon after, Trey took up the keys and Mike went to play guitar. Page eventually picked up Mike's bass. After they jammed a bit longer, Mike went to join Trey on the keys. Trey then joined Fish on the drums. The two of them played on the same drum set and Mike took a piano solo. Trey eventually kicked Fish off the drum stool, and Fish picked up Trey's guitar. SOAM contained a Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part Two jam and a Third Stone from the Sun tease.

when i was getting into phish in the 90's a widely circulated tape on trading lists was always the ian's farm show from august of '87.  at the time, it seemed like such a long time ago.  today i realized that the time between then and the ian's farm gig is about the same amount of time from now to magnaball.  whoa.

Yeah. Time is fucking weird. I can't believe I've been seeing this band for 30 fucking years... and that my first show was only 9 years after their first show. They seemed so much older than me at the time. Now they seem like they're basically my generation.

30 years ago (yesterday), I went to Shoreline to see Santana for the first time. And while wandering the lawn early, some weird band called Phish played an opening set. They made an impression. I don't think I quite knew what to make of them, but they kept on rattling around somewhere in my subconscience, until, finally, in '96, I actually went to a proper show.

Not a show - but a fucking great memory!! Still my greatest Ticketbastard score of all time. I called the 800 number and stayed in the phone tree by picking a menu option then pressing "9" to go back to the main menu for about 90 minutes then went into the "buy tickets" menu right at 9am central. 

"What are you interested in?"

"Phish"

"There is a 3-Day package for Phish at Hampton Colosseum March 6, 7, & 8. Is that what you would like?"

"Yes"

"How many tickets?"

"2"

"OK. Please enter your credit card number, followed by the # sign."

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!

30 years ago tonight was my first "real" Phish show. My first show was HORDE Tour in the summer... so, one set and they weren't even the headliner (Blues Traveler). 

This was the real thing. Two sets in a packed-to-the-gills club that had quite a history. When I say packed... I mean we were nuts-to-butts all fucking night. I was dead center about 5 people back from the stage. During the Forbin's narration the packed crowd ebbed and flowed with Trey's words like we were in the water. It was nuts. Also, Mike came out in a fedora looking like an Italian Stallion. 

One last crazy thing - Faht!! Trey says they don't have the recording of the bird noises for the ending of it so he encourages the audience to supply them. Good shit. 

Great show, with a decent audience recording - though the crowd is club-show-chatty, for sure.

[1] Unfinished.

Disease was unfinished. Bowie included a tease from Mike of the Theme from James Bond. The return to Possum included a Long Tall Glasses tease from Page. Tube featured an I Feel the Earth Move tease. Page teased I Can't Turn You Loose in YEM. The soundcheck's Funky Bitch featured Trey on vocals. This show is available as an archival release on LivePhish.com.


This was my 4th show.  I was 9 or 10 rows back, centered behind the stage.  The first time I had seats behind the stage (the only other show I was behind the stage, was set 1 of Feb 28, 2003).

What a show!  Awesome funky ending to Antelope.  Great Disease.  So much energy in the room.

Also, hard to believe that it's been 25 years since I was a senior in high school.

Did all 4.  Had a very tight budget.  I recall gas being less than $1 a gallon.  Probably did the entire run for under $200.  Drove through the night from Champaign IL in a 2 door light tan Pontiac Grand Prix.  Parked the car on the street in a neighborhood a few blocks from the venue and 2 of us slept in the car right there after the first night.  I don't know how we did it, but the shows were so good they just gave us energy and made it all worthwhile.  I enjoyed 4.3 more than 4.2, but they were both special.

i haven't listened to all 4 of these island tour shows in a row in a long time.  i'm almost finished with night 3.  what a great run!  it felt like it's own new years run.  i loved how they connected the venues by playing tweezer reprise to close night 2 and tweezer to open night 3.  plus they connected the carini gonna catch you banter between the two venues.
great song selection, killer jams, all the goofy banter make for perfect phish!

driving home i recall thinking the second nights at each venue being the strongest, but you could make a case that each night got stronger than the previous, the way a 4 night run should be!

nice.
coming up this weekend is ..uh 30th anniversary of rfk 93 if my math is not wrong lol.

most notable is not the shows but meeting my best bud Row Jimmy waiting for tickets at a NoVa mall parking lot... that they wouldnt let us camp overnight at so we went back to his house and watched the LAst Waltz and smoked resin as the story goes.

i do recall tripping my brains out on mushrooms and losing my shit in the middle of RFK field sitting on the ground looking at 10s of thousands of legs...
and then being pissed at my girlfriend at the time and breaking up with her afterwards lol.

Thinking back, I was fortunate to have listened to the rumors of a Tower set and booked it as soon as I heard the sounds coming from the tower. Ripped it from our campsite on my longboard and parked myself about 30 yards away, catching pretty much the whole thing.

30 YEARS!!!

I can't believe it's been 30 years since my first show!! Murat Theatre 08/13/93!!!!

I first heard Phish on the lot of a Dead show in '91 or '92. Someone had given the youthful me a copy of Lawn Boy on an old TDK60. The spirit of the music and the childish lyrics made it sit just right with me. I got my mom onboard with it and as soon as she saw that Phish was going to be playing in town she got us tickets for my birthday. I remember grabbing pizza for dinner at a little spot on Mass Ave before heading over to The Murat. I had been there before, but this was my first show there. If you've been to The Murat, you know it's full name was The Murat Theatre at Shriner's Auditorium. The time prior to Phish I had been there was to see the Shriner's Circus. This was a far cry from that! The people were nothing new, being a Deadhead baby, I was all too familiar with them. But when Phish came out and played... That was a life changing moment. No other concert had that kind of palpable energy. Not even the Dead. I was instantly hooked. Though, it being my first show and only being 13, I missed out of fully understanding what I witnessed that night. Years later I would hear talk of the famous Murat Gin and got a tape of it. And lo and behold it was my first show!! A night to be remembered forever, and a pivotal night in the evolution of the band.

So glad I have this 'reprint' Pollock poster that was releases with the LP release of the show hanging in the living room. It's the only piece of Phish-ness that the wife allows out there.

Can confirm. I ate blue gel tabs at MSG that were acquired in Colorado as well as other tabs given to me a different night. They worked.

I will say, in the past, gel tabs have been quite hit or miss in my experienc.... But recently... No complaints.

I know nothing about the process of actually laying lsd, but it seems to make sense that gel tabs perhaps are more likely to get an uneven distribution of L across the bunch? I dunno.

On the uneven dosing, that could have been my mistake as well. Being my first go, I gave it 45 mins - an hr for the first cap. Felt nothing so I tossed back another and it wasn't long before my entire world became a total psychedelic mess for a few hours.

While the DWD and Gin are clearly legendary, the 2001 is my absolute favorite version ever. The moment Fishman goes from the high hat to the ride cymbal is a top 3 Phish all time moment for me. Perhaps the absolute pinnacle of phish-funk IMO.

That weird early 40th anniversary thing last NYE signaled to me that there would be no such celebration right now ... not that they couldn't have just saved it for this upcoming NYE, however. Was Fishman planning on having another child?

Yeah that was my takeaway too. Plus we were already hyped about Sphere and a possible festival.

Yeah I think 3 more northeast shows would dilute the ticket sales from the not even sold out NYE run. 
Also I think they want to have the celebration at MSG so makes sense they did it last year and I think they will reference it this year again.

30 years ago tonight was the night I became a Phish head. Wasn't my first show, but it was the one that hooked me for life.

I love you, too, buddy. You were the first to call me PIE-GUY!! That actually happened 15 years ago today.
