Thanks for the memories. There were some Idahoans in attendance for certain, but I recall the lot and local campgrounds filled with folks from all over - VA, VT, CO, WA, NY and CA (where my crew traveled from). I was living in Tahoe at the time and when Dead tour wound up in Shoreline the weekend before this show, we got back on the bus and did the first leg of Phish tour, including Boise (an 8 hour jaunt from Tahoe City). I took two Phish noobs, and they weren’t sure if they just saw a hard rock show or a Broadway theatrical. Oh to be 25 again!

Excellent read! I loved the parallels between’95 and the present you present in the conclusion. Thanks for sharing.
