10-30-83 Harris-Millis Cafeteria - University of Vermont, Burlington, VT
Fans thought for many, many years that Phish first played on this date. However, the "Thriller"
show actually took place on 12-02-83. If Phish did play on this date (and there
is no known evidence to indicate that they did), it was a different show.
11-03-83 Slade Hall - Universtiy of Vermont, Burlington, VT
The Midnight Hour, Wild Child, Bertha, Can't You Hear Me Knockin'*, Camel Walk, Eyes of the World, Whipping Post
This date is incorrect; it is actually a setlist from 11-03-84. *With "St. Stephen"
(Grateful Dead) jam.
12-02-83 Harris-Millis Cafeteria - University of Vermont, Burlington,
VT
1: Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress, Proud Mary, In the Midnight Hour, Squeeze Box, Roadhouse Blues,
Happy Birthday
2: Scarlet Begonias > Fire
The First Gig. Played under the name "Blackwood Convention." The show supposedly ended when the
DJ cranked up the stereo (purportedly with Michael Jackson's "Thriller") to drown them out. This
setlist and its verified date come from the Mockingbird
Foundation's setlist document. See full information there.
