Funny - this and Normal were my only fall 99 shows, and they are also the black holes in my Phish memory. The only thing I remember is feeling a sense of darkness seeping into the scene, and Trey raising his guitar to the sky, which to me, was just the most outward sign of those dark vibes I felt brewing in the scene and the music. It didn't sit well with me, and after a really weird time at Big Cypress, I also took a phish sabbatical until 3.0.
Iām looking forward to the newsletter about the 2018 rosemont shows in 19 years.

Fun memories taking the train from A2 into Chicago for the ā99 IL shows a month into freshman year. Go Blue, Rob!
Minor correction, your redemptive Rosemont shows were in fall of 2018.
Those shows were when I got back on the bus!
Thanks for the correction! Fixed in the essay.
Rosemont Horizon has absolutely terrible acoustics. Never heard a show there that didn't sound like ass.
