Joke was indeed on us. The phans in my college group of friends made a whole bunch of people stay up late to watch this. “You guys this band is so awesome. The drummer might be the best in the world. The guitarist absolutely SHREDS. They play all these weird, complicated prog songs. Prepare to have your mind blown!”
I watched this with my never-heard-Phish-before housemates. They weren't impressed. I can't blame them, as I think Phish's enthusiasm for a new song got the better of them with this choice.
One of my housemates did end up going with me to Champaign a few days later, and became a fan to some extent. In fact he's seen TAB and Phish more recently than I have.

Narrator: they played “Farmhouse”
My favorite one-song Phish tv performance. I wore out the VHS of this. And this being 25 years old makes me feel very old.

I heard a rumor they were gonna do My Soul, and was very relieved when it was a new song.
