My ninth Phish show, and first since Pauley Pavilion the previous year (Say that three times at 45rpm). My first in Europe and really a great callback to my first four theater and club shows from 91/92. Small crowd, small punk rock compound with both indoor & outdoor stages.
First impression is woah, these guys are amazing to watch up close. Second was this is different act than eight months earlier. It was clear they were going somewhere else, they were evolving.
This show will always be memorable for me because before the show a guy walked up to me and said, "Hi, remember me?" And I replied, "No." and he said, "Remember that Greyhound Bus ride from Chicago to Oakland to catch the 1990-91 NYE Grateful Dead shows we took together?"
Now nearly seven tears later and in Vienna, Austria we met again. I was flabbergasted. It felt like I had met a ghost. Never saw him again after this show. And of course this show was my first ever Ghost.
Shoot it felt like half the show was first time songs for me and I loved it.
Amazing to think of how the gear evolutions directly affected the sonic textures and ability for exploration during their jams of the era. Well researched and written!
