That, plus Leprechaun, and Landlady all from that show are the longest gaps

I saw one leprechaun that summer, too. I wish they'd bring that shit back. What a great tune.

Poor Wolf Trap never knew what hit it.

Missed this by 3 days, but 15 years ago the darkest, baddest, most menacing storm cloud of all-time rolled over the lot at Polaris, dumped rain on the once-awesome now a slum Polaris Amphitheatre and resulted in a pretty weird show.

I was glad to be under the shed for that storm. I should relisten to this. The next night's DWD>While My Guitar... is always what sticks out in my mind from this run. Well, that and the Moby Dick night of Deer Creek.

That cloud just screams, "get in the cellar"

I just fired it up!

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.

Was this the poster for the event??

It was a flyer handed out by fans as I walked into the Pat Center.
That's a scan of my copy which I still possess.
