Just seeing your Sugarbush writeup, Dave. Excellent.

As for me, my first show is today old enough to drink. Another geriatric milestone in my life.

25 years ago today I was skipping the worst Sunday show to ever skip. The very last Dead show.

:cry:

I skipped it because I was along for the ride with my family and had no choice.

... -> 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

Helluva first show!

Most of the time it's like...Damn, I cant believe it's been 10 or 20 years, but it feels a lot longer than 3 years ago that the Bakers Dozen kicked off. Such an amazing part of phishistory!

Happy 27th Phishiversary to me!

Just sat down at my desk at work and threw the Murat '93 show on to celebrate!

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.

Saw my first Vegas show 20 years ago yesterday

Show was amazing until the end of the second set

Either way was a sick run

This gets less play from me that some of the shitty 80's 5th gen auds in my collection. An absolute disaster! Not to mention... I hate Kid Rock!

Kickdown City for these two shows, though
