If i remember rightly it was $5 at the door. I had never heard of, or listened to, Phish when some friends of friends spontaneously grabbed us (nearly) and brought us to this show. Talk about an eye opener. I didn't listen to anything but Phish for weeks after that. I devoured everything i could get my hands on. My old tape deck with auto flip played on an endless loop. But enough of that, now back to the show ...
What better set could I ask for as my introduction to the boys ? Landlady opener - what the hell have i gotten myself into ? Wow, this is actually really good ... Llama, Wo ! Who was that guy Forbin ? Icculus ? hu ? on and on it went and then, Mango ! oh ya. Second set was, well, ever seen Contact ? Know the part where she says that they should have sent a poet ? ya, well, a poet I am not so I won't even try ... By coil is was apparent that the guys had talent, but then hearing coil i was just floored.
